Almost one month since surgery and all is well

[Jonas Elliott]

Hey guys! While I have updated my weblog with photos, my contributions to the forum have been somewhat lacking, so i want to just give a quick update on my results one month post-op. So far, I've gone through all the stages Dr. Rahal said I'd go through, so there have been zero surprises in any negative context; just positive ones! The initial swelling wore off after 5 days, just like Dr. Rahal said. The scabing wore off two weeks later, just as Dr. Rahal said it would. For about 5 days, I had a preview of what my hair line would be like a few months from now, since none of the folicles had yet started to fall out and go into dormancy. All I can say is WOW!! And I got comments guys! I had the rest of my hair trimmed after i consulted with Dr. Rahal, and the clean cut look with a bit of a 5 o'clock shadow drew more than a few encouraging comments. Now that a month has passed since the surgery, the hair has slowly started to fall out, just as Dr. Rahal said it would. But I'm taking care to use the Rogain as perscribed, an am anticipating the resurgence of my hair transplant in the coming weeks. Overall, so far, very good!

I'm happy to hear things are going well. I wish you the best of luck. Would you consider posting a link to your web blog so we could take a look?

Sounds good man.

Another impressive job by Rahal.

Jonas,

 

I'm glad to hear you are healing well. The next couple months are usually the hardest while you wait for new growth.

 

Hang in there and in the meantime, avoid mirrors .

 

After your new hair comes in, you won't even remember having to wait.

 

Best wishes,

 

Bill
