DS25 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I just had a procedure done with Dr. Umar for around 5,300 grafts. The hairline looks great. He implanted hair in the back, to the side, scar area, and the front. He used beard and chest hairs. It has been over 6 days and I am healing well. All the crust has fallen out The hair grafted looks great and doesn't look like it is falling out. It is red and the scars from the previous procedure is showing. I have to go back to work and I was hoping for some feedback on how it looks. I was hoping for some solutions to cover up the scar? Do you think I can use hair fibers? Part of the procedure involved a crew cut. Regarding results what should I expect? How long before the redness goes away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member cachaco Posted March 21, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2013 Congratulations DS25. It looks really good. It is pretty hard to conceal with such short hair. How long until you have to be back at work? You might just have to tell the truth or come up with a good story unless you have enough time for enough growth, It will be much easier to conceal in 8-10 days. I think it doesn't look too bad.

Regular Member HairlessHero Posted March 21, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2013 DS25, it looks great. I think you will see a good amount of change. By the way, how many sessions you had for a total of 5300 grafts? Also, could you provide any details like what hair went where (chest/beard hair for crown, etc.). Happy recovering and hair growing. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Torip Posted March 21, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted March 21, 2013 After my HT, I was wearing a cap at work during week 2. From week 3 onwards, Toppik was good enough to conceal. I would suggest wear a stylish cap for a couple of weeks. Let people wonder why you were wearing a cap. If someone specifically asks, just tell them you had some procedure done on your scalp.

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted March 22, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted March 22, 2013 DS25, Congratulations on your recent FUE with Dr. Umar. This looks like it's going to be a true home run. You're probably not going to be able to fully conceal it for some time. If a hat is an option, go that route. Otherwise you may just have to let people wonder. I'm sure no one will ask.

DS25 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Work wasn't that bad. I had some people ask about the redness but I blamed it on a bad rash and a sun burn. I actually got complements on the haircut. There were some that really noticed the redness. I had 4 sessions. I can't really say what went where due to the medication. Dr. Umar has been great at post up email. I will ask him on my next email hairless hero. I will update in two weeks with new pictures. Thanks for the support everyone. I would recommend atleast taking two weeks before going back to work. My procedure ended Friday and I went back to work this Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS25 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 I have been receiving some messages privately. I know what it is like when you have additional questions regarding doctors or the procedure. I have been there. For some reason I am not able to access my inbox on the the hair restoration network site. I can see the message on my regular email but I rather not give that out. I have created a new email address so hairlesshero if you can send me your message on the email below, I will be happy to reply back with answers to your questions. Thanks DS25 Email: DSDSDS2525@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS25 Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hello All, 17 days and I am back for a post up. I am attaching pictures for feedback. I have lost maybe 20% to 40% of the transplanted hair. I forgot how important patience is in this process. I am still experiencing redness and starting to see small pimples in areas. I am taking Biotin, small doses of hair comp, green tea and special minoxadil by Dr. Umar. Do you guys think that is a good strategy for the post up healing? Does anyone recommend anything else. I just bought aloe vera for the itching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member KO Posted April 2, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 2, 2013 Hey, your case of a huge FUE procedure is quite rare for this forum, and I suspect many will have an interest in following it. In case you're in favor of it, you should create a blog on this site so it will be easy to track your progress. Best of luck! 3382 FUE Lupanzula http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185463-3382-grafts-lupanzula.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MAGNUMpi Posted April 18, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 18, 2013 wow your scar in photo #3 looked really unbearable. Im glad you went to a good doctor and are taking steps to clear everything up. How big was your first procedure? did the scar stretch or was it just always big? your new hairline looks great.
