Steven Gabel, MD, FACS Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) These are a little late in coming but here is Ken’s 2 month progress update. He had 2,569 grafts placed into the frontal aspect of his scalp and hairline. He has been coming to the office for photos and video so others can follow his experience month by month. At this point, Ken is starting to let his hair grow back in. Ken's 2 month videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae2BU920zA4 At month 1, he shaved his head; at this point in month 2, the transplanted hairs have gone through the shedding cycle.

Regular Member Ken1967 Posted April 30, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted April 30, 2011 Doc Its wild seeing my photos up. It was great seeing you today. Just watching the change from these photos and now today is really cool. Can’t wait to see what you do with todays photos and the video. See you next month. Just like a said in last writing, do your homework; find a doc that going to go all out for you; I was lucky to find one right here in Portland. What was really cool is that even on Saturday, he was taking care of his folks that he did surgery on the last few days. When i had my surgery, it was nice that the staff was available to do the cleaning. It gave me tons of confidence that he was there for me when I had questions.

Steven Gabel, MD, FACS Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 I finally was able to get the video up. Ken's hair is in the dormant phase of the time frame after hair transplantation. He does feel tiny hairs starting to grow. He completely shaved his head 2 week ago and is going to let it grow out. Ken will be back next month to follow his progress.

Senior Member multiplier Posted May 9, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted May 9, 2011 Looks great. But is there a scar? I didn't see one and he obviously shaved. Are there any back-of-the-head photos?

Senior Member ziggy00 Posted May 13, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted May 13, 2011 Dr. Gabel, Ken talked about numbness on his scalp in the video. Through your experience how common is it to have numbness two months post op? Thanks! Looking good so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Gabel, MD, FACS Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Ziggy Numbness of the top the scalp is very common after hair restoration surgery. The nerves that innervate the scalp are "stunned" for a while, and most patients experience complete return of sensation to the top of their scalp 2 - 4 months following surgery as the nerves "wake up."

Steven Gabel, MD, FACS Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 Multiplier Here is a photo of the scar at two months that you asked for. The scar has shock loss around it, and when the transplanted hairs start growing, the hairs around the scar will also start growing. I”ll make sure to continue to put in photos of the scar to watch it mature as well.
