Bill - Seemiller Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 hairdini, Looks like everything is healing nicely brother. Scabs are almost gone. Are you massaging the scabs in the shower with shampoo?

Senior Member Gorpy Posted May 5, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted May 5, 2007 Looks good Hardini, At 7 days, as Bill says, you can start to shower normally, but lightly. Massage those remaining scabs off. ____________ 2700 Total Grafts w/ Keene 9/28/05 663 one's = 663 1116 two's = 2232 721 three's = 2163 200 four's = 800 Hair Count = 5858 1000 Total Grafts w/Keene 2/08/07 Mostly combined FU's for 2600+ hairs My Photo Album See me at Dr. Keene's Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hairdini Posted May 16, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 16, 2007 Well it's been three weeks and I suspect I'm now entering the hibernation period. Most of my little graphs have shed and the bald parts of my forehead are once again starting to show. I'm excited about the prospect of having a kick ass head of hair again. It's patience time now and I will pay my dues and wait. One thing I'm really happy about is I have almost no discoloration where the graphs were placed. I thought going into this, being a light skinned Irishman, I would have a red tint to my skin for a month or two at minimum. That has not been the case and I'm happy about that. I'm also fortunate that I really have not had any negative effects to date with the exception of slight tenderness to the scalp incision for the first couple of weeks. Hopefully all the positive experiences I've had so far will be indicative of the future results I hope to obtain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hairdini, Welcome to the doldrums my friend...try to have patience...growth will come, but not overnight. Don't expect to see anything until between month 3 and 5. Anything before that is gravy Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member scooping around Posted July 7, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted July 7, 2007 hairdini I had my surgery with Dr. Keene also during mid June, and am currently 3 weeks post op, a few months behind you. I had the same experience and thought that my receipient area would be really red, but other than the slight swelling on my forehead and nose area for the first few days post op, there was no redness at all. It was really numb in the receipient area until about 3 weeks post op, I'm starting to feel a bit of itch here and there on the grafted areas.

Senior Member MrJobi Posted July 7, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hi You guys will be able to feel the growth.. Generally you will feel a tingling sensation ( a slight itch almost) and a little pinching too.. This means the hair are poking through the skin or atleast I am assuming.. It takes me about 3 months for this process to start JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations.

Regular Member hairdini Posted July 26, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 26, 2007 Nervous nelly- Sory about the late response I've been out of the country. I've had 1700 graphs placed. 3 month update - Starting to see a lot of hairs grow. I hope more keep coming. I imagine this next month should show a lot of positive net growth. Now that 3 months have gone by I live with no regret of my choice and glad I had the guts to go through with it. I hope all keeps going well.

Regular Member hairdini Posted August 25, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 25, 2007 The hair is definately starting to come in now. I hope it will continue to grow and thicken in the coming months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member scooping around Posted August 25, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted August 25, 2007 thank you for keeping up with the progress, I've been following your progress the most because I chose the same doctor and we have the same # of grafts transplanted and similar hair loss pattern. Looking great those baby hair are starting to get thicker and hair line is starting to look a bit lower as well. I'm at 10 weeks post op, but my new growth is a lot of spiradic than yours.

Bill - Seemiller Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 hairdini, 4 month pictures are looking good my friend. But this is only the beginning. From here things should take off nicely. Thanks for keeping us updated! The next few months should be very exciting for you . Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hairdini Posted September 26, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 26, 2007 I'm not sure I see much of a difference between months 4 and months 5 photos. This may just be because I chopped my hair off. Hopefully the next couple month will thicken things up a bit. Here is the link for my day 1 through day 4 photos. It really shows how far I've come.http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/showthread.php?t=143354 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member scooping around Posted September 26, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted September 26, 2007 wow...hairdini, your hairline right now looks so natural. I think Dr. Keene did a really good job on your hairline. Mine is still slowly creeping in at 3.5 months post op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member spineguy1 Posted September 27, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted September 27, 2007 hairdini, Congradulations on your surgery. Everything is looking good so far. I was curious to ask you, what kind of density are you expecting as an end result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Hairdini, Things are really coming along nicely for only 6 months! Thanks for the update. How do you feel about your results so far? Keep us posted! Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member hairdini Posted November 28, 2007 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 28, 2007 Bill, My results have exceeded my expectations. In just 6 1/2 months the right side of my head has been restored to near perfection. The density is perfectly blended with my natural hair. The lefts side, while looking good, seems to be a bit on the thin side as far as density is concerned. I'm hoping over the next 6 months it will thicken up and compare to the right side. I'm also extremely pleased with how the temple work as progressed. I think one of Dr. keene's great skills can be found in the temple work she does. I think that is a great part of what makes her hairlines look so natural. Everything from the temples to the hairlines seems to flow together perfectly. I have zero regrets about getting my HT. It's awesome to know that I don't have to have a receding hairline. I don't have to look in the mirror and see something I don't like. HT has definitely been a life changing decision for me, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
