Senior Member dhuge67 Posted February 10, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted February 10, 2006 So, it's been 7 days and a few scabs have fallen off, and everything is getting really dry up there. Seems like there should be a mass fall-off soon. How does it actually happen, a lot at once? How long does it usually take...I want these things to be gone asap but I'm trying my best to hardly even touch them. I'm continuing to use the topical spray sollution that the Dr. gave me, and also started letting the shower-head hit directly on my head for the first time, tonight. Hopefully it all clears up soon, and then the next 2.8 months will zoom by. 1,614 with Dr. Pistone on 2/3/06 in Marlton, NJ. As long as the moon shall rise As long as the rivers flow As long as the sun shall shine And the grass will grow Let me listen, I will learn to speak The old language Yes, I yearn to bathe in blue skies And fall apart from the world of machines Regain my feet and my pounding heart My Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hello, im 8 days today 3297 graphs from Dr. Hasson, today i was more aggressive with my shampooing still not putting my head under the spray though, im using a small bucket still, a circular motion (small circles) more aggressive and working the shampoo in, a couple hours after it dried i did the same small circles to get rid of scabs and dry skin, it worked great and at 8 days i feel confident the graphs are in solid, yesterday i rubbed aloe vera (no alcohol) all over my graphs and my staples, just soaked it in, it felt great but you gotta be careful because it dries real sticky. Dr. Hassons office doesnt use the spray anymore he said just wash it and keep it clean, i still mixed up my own spray bottle of Aloe and water it just feels to good not to spray down the graphs, Doc said thats fine. At day 9 and after i will be more aggressive at removing scabs and dead skin but never using my fingernails to pick at it. Today my donor area is a bit irritated and sore but my recipient area feels fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bro66 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I used baby shampoo and most of my scabs fell off by day 6. I also used a little mineral oil water mixed together in my spray bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member finallyfree Posted February 11, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted February 11, 2006 Day 9-10 is considered the best time to start being more aggressive on the grafts. No benefit letting the scabs remain on the recipient beyond that time. 7500 grafts till now. All by Dr. Arvind/Dr.A, New Delhi. They include strip FUHT, FUE and body hair grafts. Hoping to accomplish full hair restoration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Hey Bro66, i was told not to use baby shampoo, last year from Shapiro & this year from Hasson, i think because of alcohol content????, makes scalp to dry???, check it out, just trying to help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member dhuge67 Posted February 11, 2006 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 11, 2006 Is it okay (being post op 9 days) to rub the recipient area (without fingertips) at medium "harndness" to try and get off some of the scabbing. Some of the very dry ones fell off and like almost like little flies...haha....is it okay to do that? There is some white dead skin, and hardened scabs, but some wont come off unless I rub a bit. Is this normal? 1,614 with Dr. Pistone on 2/3/06 in Marlton, NJ.

Senior Member dhuge67 Posted February 14, 2006 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 14, 2006 Is it usual to have no evidence of a hair transplant, as in a bald scalp, in the area where transplanted FUs were placed? While some hairs remain, tons of scabs fell off leaving no trace of hair or hole behind them. I'm just not sure if this is to be expected? Lots of hairs have stayed but the majority went down with the scabs. 1,614 with Dr. Pistone on 2/3/06 in Marlton, NJ.

Guest bro66 Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 The scabs will fall off when they are ready. Doing a lot cardio, a steamy shower and the steam room helped me a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of hairs have stayed but the majority went down with the scabs. It is normal for many hairs to come off with the scabs. The follicles still remain embedded in your skin and will be dormant for a couple of months. So, yes, it will look like you didn't even have a transplant done and you'll probably wonder if the transplant even worked! Don't worry! After a few months, new hairs will begin to sprout from the follicles under your skin. I had HT #2 about three months ago and some of the new hairs are just beginning to poke through the skin! Can't wait until about month six when the real action should start happening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bro66 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'm a little over two months past my HT and I'm starting to see a few very dark hairs poking through. I'm now starting to feel a little better about getting the HT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Beefy Posted February 15, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted February 15, 2006 3 months is when the tranplanted hair starts growing , it may take over a year to see final results. The hair may go threw growth cycles starting with fine hairs first then thickening up over time. 1045 FUT "hairline" with Dr Feller on Nov 05 825 "hairline" with Dr Loria "saw so so results" on Jan 01 MHR 325 "hairline" micro/mini 's 1999 "big mistake" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jason_d Posted February 16, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted February 16, 2006 I had a HT in May of last year, it is only recently that I have noticed how much hair has grown. I was also nervous that grafts were not growing or i dislodged them after surgery, but around 6 months to a year is when you really see the results. I had 1800gfts, and my head really looks amazing from what it was once before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
