Regular Member MTLien44 Posted May 15, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hello, I had my surgery on Jauary 6th 2006. I had strip excision and 3000 FU transplanted. My scar is still very red and much more than 1 or 2mm on the side of my head where I already had a previous strip excision. I am noticing no growth except maybe that some hair seem to be stronger considering the Minoxidil I have been applying since the surgery. I will post pictures as soon as possible. Please let me know what your opinions are on my situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member the B spot Posted May 15, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted May 15, 2006 MT--- Can you post some pictures of your scar and your recipient sites? Also, can you let us know what Dr. performed your surgery? I read your other post and I am a little concerned about your perception of the doctors attitude/handling of your concerns. It is my understanding that any surgery set up over the internet is followed up by an in-depth consultation the DAY OF SURGERY. This is to clear up any issues and also develop a real treatment plan. I just cannot believe that you would go through with the surgery if you did not feel comfortable, but I understand the pressure of being a consumer sitting in a doctors office as well. Please keep us posted as this community is in place to help everyone going through these problems......

Regular Member Prospicience Posted May 15, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted May 15, 2006 MTLien44, I had ~3,200 (my first) with Dr. Cooley on 01/04/06. My scar is healing quite well and I'm actually seeing some growth (others have commented on it). The no growth thing is normal but the scar being so "red" may not be. I'm 47 and at my age, people don't heal so quickly, but I'm happy with the scar fading so far. I would suggest a follow up visit with HT surgeon or your regular doctor for the redness. Regards, Mike 3,200 on 1/4/06 Dr. Cooley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JacobS Posted May 15, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted May 15, 2006 Typically second transplant grows in slower. Give it time...you are looking at another 3 months before you get some sat. results. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
