Senior Member JohnnyDrama Posted September 12, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2013 Day 19 post op for me today and I've just returned home. My parents were delighted and commented that I just looked as if I decided to buzz my hair. No sign of work from their perspective. Neither of my sisters know about my ht or buzzing for that matter, so a relief that they think the buzz suits me! The gfs parents reaction was a little more "Oh.....", but to be expected as I had a lot of hair the last they saw me. The office reaction tomorrow should be interesting! llooks good, thx for posting. can u post some pics of the donor post day 1 and day 2. Will do mate, it's 2am here now and I've had a long day travelling so I should get them up tomorrow with the pics covering the last 2-3 weeks as well. 2,200 FUE + PRP with Dr Bisanga - BHR Clinic, 22-23 August 2013 - http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/171950-my-fue-2-200-prp-dr-bisanga-bhr-clinic.html Current Regimen: - Rogaine 5% Foam 2x daily - Jasons Restorative Biotin Shampoo 2x daily / Nizoral 2% 2x weekly - Nettle Root 500mg, MSM 1500mg, Biotin 5mg, Multi Vit, Omega 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member JohnnyDrama Posted September 13, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 13, 2013 11 Days Post Op Just landed in Spain so now a cap was of high importance. I still used the bandana when sun bathing as it is more adjustable and allows sun to get to your forehead which a cap does not. Cap was only used in direct sunlight mind, and was off at every other opportunity to let the scalp breath. Healing was coming along well. From day 7 I was also now washing with baby shampoo. 2,200 FUE + PRP with Dr Bisanga - BHR Clinic, 22-23 August 2013 - http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/171950-my-fue-2-200-prp-dr-bisanga-bhr-clinic.html Current Regimen: - Rogaine 5% Foam 2x daily - Jasons Restorative Biotin Shampoo 2x daily / Nizoral 2% 2x weekly - Nettle Root 500mg, MSM 1500mg, Biotin 5mg, Multi Vit, Omega 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JohnnyDrama Posted September 13, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 13, 2013 2 Weeks Post OP Took these on rooftop in evening daylight to give a different impression. Note my gf has been taking pics since 1 week post op so much better shots of donor. At the 2 week point I purchased 100% pure Aloe Vera spray for use on recipient. Having spoken to BHR, I wanted to do as much to reduce redness/contrast in recipient as possible. Redness wasn't huge in any case but returning to work in under a week I wanted to cover all bases. I also begun applying Rogaine 5% Foam nightly. I plan on applying this twice daily in a few weeks time. Re my donor, to be honest to the untrained eye it would have just looked like a normal buzz cut at around day 7 or 8. The post op application of Aloe Vera gel and Hydro-cortisone cream worked wonders. Obviously I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for no late onset shockloss. 2,200 FUE + PRP with Dr Bisanga - BHR Clinic, 22-23 August 2013 - http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/171950-my-fue-2-200-prp-dr-bisanga-bhr-clinic.html Current Regimen: - Rogaine 5% Foam 2x daily - Jasons Restorative Biotin Shampoo 2x daily / Nizoral 2% 2x weekly - Nettle Root 500mg, MSM 1500mg, Biotin 5mg, Multi Vit, Omega 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member JohnnyDrama Posted September 14, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 14, 2013 3 weeks post op today. Will get pics up tomorrow. Hard to tell what kind of % of grafts have shed, maybe 30-40%. I'm now about to face the acid test.......meeting up with about 10 of my mates for a night out! I might be mad doing it so soon but it just so happens a lot of them are back home for the first time in ages, and if I pulled out of it I probably wouldn't see them for another month or two. It'll be like reintroducing myself to them all! I never thought I'd be willing to show up so soon but it probably reflects how well I've healed and that the buzzed look hasn't totally rocked me.....yet! 2,200 FUE + PRP with Dr Bisanga - BHR Clinic, 22-23 August 2013 - http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/171950-my-fue-2-200-prp-dr-bisanga-bhr-clinic.html Current Regimen: - Rogaine 5% Foam 2x daily - Jasons Restorative Biotin Shampoo 2x daily / Nizoral 2% 2x weekly - Nettle Root 500mg, MSM 1500mg, Biotin 5mg, Multi Vit, Omega 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Baldietwo Posted September 15, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 15, 2013 You're looking great. Looks like you got a nice shape to pull off the shaved head look as well. Doubt your mates noticed anything. Benefits of FUE! Although hairloss plays on our minds a lot others pay little attention to it. We do it for our wn vanity. Metro sexuality and all that I'm going to my office for the first time tomorrow. I have no way of hiding my work as I have a looong red strip around my head. Looking forward to hear their reactions.

Senior Member JohnnyDrama Posted September 16, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 16, 2013 Their reactions were to be expected.......all along the lines of "Wtf have you done / Are you sick / etc etc" but after a few minutes everything was back to normal. A lot commented that the look in fact suits me. Strangely, one of my mates gfs whom I thought would be most supportive of the buzzed look came over and before even saying hi said "Johnny, you need hair." Nice! All in all it was a definite success. There was also some heavy petting and a pulled away a few times as I'm still quite wary that I'm in the healing process, but from the perspective of surgery, it looks like it has gone completely unnoticed which is all I can really ask for at this point! Very happy on that front and it's obviously a big weight off my shoulders. 2,200 FUE + PRP with Dr Bisanga - BHR Clinic, 22-23 August 2013 - http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/171950-my-fue-2-200-prp-dr-bisanga-bhr-clinic.html Current Regimen: - Rogaine 5% Foam 2x daily - Jasons Restorative Biotin Shampoo 2x daily / Nizoral 2% 2x weekly - Nettle Root 500mg, MSM 1500mg, Biotin 5mg, Multi Vit, Omega 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member JohnnyDrama Posted September 23, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2013 One month mark today guys, and all going to plan by the looks of it. Eventful weekend again......my first visit to the barber!! My barber is the only other person who knows about my procedure, along with my parents and gf. Her first comment was that she always knew a short hairstyle would suit me......and then she inspected. She asked if hair was taken from the back of my head, and when I confirmed her response was "Wow". She said my head looks untouched, which is obviously good to hear from someone who looks at hundreds of scalps per week. I got a 3-2-1, blade from top to sides.....just to tidy things up as was beginning to look a little scruffy. Think I'll be doing this every 2-3 weeks until December at least. Went out for more beers on Saturday and met 4-5 other mates who had yet to see me, and again it was just p1ss taking from the point of view of my shaved head. I have shed a LOT over the past week, which is to be expected. I'd say I have shed close to all, at least I hope so as I have some coverage right now, even though it is quite sparse. Buzzing my head was definitely the best option considering all my work was forelock/midscalp. People just getting hairline work could get away with it but with midscalp everything is better off going. I'm definitely in the ugly duckling stage now though, but I'm glad that I'm nowhere near as traumatised as I thought I would be. Had planned all along on staying away from beer for Oct and Nov so as to financially recover from the recent hit too......so I dusted off the PS3 at the weekend and have GTA5 to keep me company (awesome btw)! Have pics taken so will post later this evening. 2,200 FUE + PRP with Dr Bisanga - BHR Clinic, 22-23 August 2013 - http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/171950-my-fue-2-200-prp-dr-bisanga-bhr-clinic.html Current Regimen: - Rogaine 5% Foam 2x daily - Jasons Restorative Biotin Shampoo 2x daily / Nizoral 2% 2x weekly - Nettle Root 500mg, MSM 1500mg, Biotin 5mg, Multi Vit, Omega 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JohnnyDrama Posted September 24, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 24, 2013 Just to mention some changes in my own regimen recently: I have changed to 0.5mg Fin daily. I was 1.25mg on MWF but wanted to reduce the dose but also have it daily for a more stable hit on my hormones. I noticed sides last year when also on Roaccutane and 1.25mg Fin daily but things have improved. Also now using Rogaine 5% Foam every night. Just bought Jasons Biotin Shampoo. It's organic and apparently less harsh on hair as it does not have particular sulphates that can damage hair (SLS). I will also restart on Nizoral once/twice weekly. MSM 3000mg and Biotin 1mg supplements daily. 2,200 FUE + PRP with Dr Bisanga - BHR Clinic, 22-23 August 2013 - http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/171950-my-fue-2-200-prp-dr-bisanga-bhr-clinic.html Current Regimen: - Rogaine 5% Foam 2x daily - Jasons Restorative Biotin Shampoo 2x daily / Nizoral 2% 2x weekly - Nettle Root 500mg, MSM 1500mg, Biotin 5mg, Multi Vit, Omega 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member JohnnyDrama Posted September 24, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 24, 2013 Have also just booked a 2nd PRP visit to BHR and Dr Bisanga for next March. I'm hoping to also get to a Borussia Dortmund soccer game as myself and my dad have been meaning to get to a major Euro match for a while now. I'll be just coming up on 7 months post op at that point so it will be good for the doc to check up on things anyway. Good clean FUE there Johnny, looks great from what i can see in the pics. It's just the agonising wait now Cheers Rob. Yup, the next couple of months won't be huge fun. Things are hectic with work and now until December looks block booked with new clients so I'm hoping I don't have much time to even think about my head! 2,200 FUE + PRP with Dr Bisanga - BHR Clinic, 22-23 August 2013 - http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/171950-my-fue-2-200-prp-dr-bisanga-bhr-clinic.html Current Regimen: - Rogaine 5% Foam 2x daily - Jasons Restorative Biotin Shampoo 2x daily / Nizoral 2% 2x weekly - Nettle Root 500mg, MSM 1500mg, Biotin 5mg, Multi Vit, Omega 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member JohnnyDrama Posted September 25, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 25, 2013 Just to compare, here are the immediate post-op clinics pics after my second day in the chair. 1,279 were placed on day 1 and just over 900 were placed behind on day 2. 2,200 FUE + PRP with Dr Bisanga - BHR Clinic, 22-23 August 2013 - http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/171950-my-fue-2-200-prp-dr-bisanga-bhr-clinic.html Current Regimen: - Rogaine 5% Foam 2x daily - Jasons Restorative Biotin Shampoo 2x daily / Nizoral 2% 2x weekly - Nettle Root 500mg, MSM 1500mg, Biotin 5mg, Multi Vit, Omega 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JohnnyDrama Posted September 25, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 25, 2013 Again, these pics illustrate my diffuse/Ludwig pattern, and should be of interest to other diffusers! I had absolutely no hairline work done whatsoever, or crown work. The work started just behind the hairline then addressed my forelock and midscalp area behind. I'm currently happy with my hairline. It is 'softer' on the left side compared to a slightly thicker right, but I'm happy with the position of the hairline itself. This to me is my optimal line, relatively mature but not too receded, and not too low to look silly for a 30 year old. Regarding my loss pattern for the future, well it's pretty tough to predict, as most Ludwigs/diffusers are. If I ever get hairline work over the next few years, it will be to mimic/bulk up my current line if it is to get progressively worse. The natural coverage of how my native hair fell pre-op, just goes to show how well it concealed my thinned mid area.......shown in these pre and post pics! 2,200 FUE + PRP with Dr Bisanga - BHR Clinic, 22-23 August 2013 - http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/171950-my-fue-2-200-prp-dr-bisanga-bhr-clinic.html Current Regimen: - Rogaine 5% Foam 2x daily - Jasons Restorative Biotin Shampoo 2x daily / Nizoral 2% 2x weekly - Nettle Root 500mg, MSM 1500mg, Biotin 5mg, Multi Vit, Omega 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
