Senior Member Dan72 Posted September 22, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hi all, Just thought I'd pop by and update my profile incase anyone was following my case and would be interested in the latest progress. So, I had my surgery back in Feb to the front portion of my scalp, which had very little hair and made me extremely self conscious. I would like to get the crown done at some point, but right now I am focussing on other things and it's nice not to have to be so obsessive with the hair right now! Even though it's still quite early days in transplant terms, I am already delighted with the result. I accidently (more on that later!) shaved it all down to a grade 2 forcing me to find a way to hide the scar. I actually quite like it this length (it's grown to maybe a 3 now), and so many people have complimented me that I think I may even keep it this length, especially since it makes it easier to cover the crown with Dermatch. So, with a small brush, I first use a scar camoflage cream (Screenface) to cover the red parts. Then using another small brush I gently work over the scar with the Dermatch. It's practically invisible unless you are looking for it. I'll try to get some pics once I've done it so you can see. I have been cutting my own hair since Feb with my clippers to maybe a grade 5-6, but when I pressed the clipper against my hair, the grade slipped to 2.... :rolleyes: So then I had no choice but to shave it all off. The pics I've attached to this thread show pre-op along side month 6, and the shaved off look of month 7. It's weird not to cringe when I look in the mirror these days, I had almost forgot how that felt Thank you to Dr. Feller and your wonderful team! And Spex, you da man! I'll try to keep my pics updated each month. If they help anyone else then it's been worth it . Take care all. http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/Dan72/albums/496 July 2002 HT #1 - Bosley NY - 1800 Grafts Feb 2011 HT #2 - Feller Medical - 2372 Grafts July 2012 HT #3 - Feller Medical - 1702 Grafts (no pics as yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
