KFlynn Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) Hi all, thought I’d share my progress from my surgery with Dr. Rahal on November 23rd 2010. I’m very happy with the progress, for the last two months I’ve given up the cap and I can say for the last two weeks I have been able to style my hair and be comfortable when going out and not think about it. Seems I have almost forgot about the doldrum phase, I did obsess on the donor area/shock loss and I still do a bit, but it’s getting better with the exception of small spots in the back not showing signs of growth. Still a bit of cap hair in the back since I can’t really go too short due to these spots and the new growing hair’s need to catch up. As far as recipient shock loss, I don’t think I suffered anything major, a testament to Dr. Rahall skills beyond the actual results you can see. Numbness is all gone. Now it’s just a waiting game to see the new hair mature and grow to the same length as the hair that was left before… You can check my blog to see where I started from. I will be updating it with all the pictures I took form month to month in the doldrum phase and exiting it around 3.5 months… Attached pics with and without flash.

KFlynn Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 (edited) All I can say about my case is that I have been religious with applying Minoxidil, and since I work from home, it was easy for me to let stay on my scalp without having to wash it out for styling. I also took MSN every day (3000mg), Multi-Vitamin and Omega-3... the rest is genetics... and good to know for once it's not playing against me! Just updated my blog also with the journey up to now... http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1890 Edited May 10, 2011 by KFlynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
