Senior Member hairz Posted March 21, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2013 Looks great. Is rhat really only 70 sq cm covered? It looks like less than that. Cant decide, I am not sure, but when Dr. Rahal took the measurements before the HT he said 72cm was needed to be covered. Also, keep in mind my head is swollen, if that makes a difference?

Senior Member hairz Posted April 19, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) Slickers, I know hahaha HT twins. Hopefully the end result will be the same too. UPDATE: A little more about the Journey 3-19-13 to 4-2-13 (3-20-13) I went in for a few cleanings and then took over myself from there, it was simple enough. (Baby shampoo and Polysporin twice daily also Spraying Saline solution every two hours.) (3-21-13) The swelling hit me two days after my procedure and lasted for the next 5 days. I wasn’t in pain at all and I slept well. Tip: Please make sure you buy a nice U pillow, it helps out a ton! I took the swelling meds and antibiotics until finished. (4-2-2013) The stiches came out today, it was a little uncomfortable for me, it felt as if I was getting my hair pulled out. I am thinking this is because my skin was healing over the stitches but I am on my way home right they’re out. (4-2-2013) I made it home safely. It was a long trip, with all the waiting and switching plans and the security was fun too . Overall, I really liked staying at the Brookline guest house. At first, I thought I wouldn’t like it because I am a very private person but it turned out to be a great experience for me. I am very happy that I stayed there. We all got along very well and bonded together like we’ve been friends forever. We are all still in contact with one another by e-mail. The walk to Dr. Rahal’s office wasn’t that bad either. (4-3-14) I am starting Minoxidil today, let’s see how it goes for me. Also, I am continuing the use of Polysporin as per instructions UPDATE: One month post op update photos 4/18/13 UPDATE: One month post op update photos 4/18/13 I thought I would share my one month updated with you. Attached are the photos. As you can see, I've shedded about 90% of the transplanted hairs. My native hair has grown to #4, the the scar is hard to spot, tho if you look close you can see some redness. I have been using minoxidil 10% on a daily basis. I will start taking a low dose of Finasteride next month .I've taken Finasteride 1.25 before.. had the gyno side effect. After I noticed the gyno, I stopped taking it and the gyno went away. My crown looks thinner, I hope it is a shed from the minoxidil, but only time will tell. Let's see what next month has to bring.

Senior Member hairz Posted April 23, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) UPDATE:First month Close up of the scar with bright lighting 4/23/13 The other photos are a bit deceiving so I took some more of the scar area.. These photos are shot with brighter lighting and some at an upward angle. This should give everyone a better idea of how it is looking at this point. The length of my hair is #4.
