Regular Member gonebutnotforgotten Posted December 22, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 22, 2013 I"m shocked at how pain free this procedure was. Only taking IBU for pain. I know its going to be a rough journey over the next few months when it all falls out but I'm looking forward to posting next year with a nice hairline.

Senior Member StaggerLee123 Posted February 20, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted February 20, 2014 Any updates? How are you doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member gonebutnotforgotten Posted February 20, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hey S Lee. I'm doing well. Scar is minimal and most of my native hair has grown back. A bit of redness has persisted on the scalp. All in all i'm pretty happy for 2 months post-op. Now I just have to wait another 6 months for growth right?

I am planning to schedule soon. Tks! First few months was tough. I grew a beard so people would focus on that and not my hairline. I'd say it was noticeable but no one ever said anything to me.

Big improvement from where you started. Congrats Ha yeah my photography skills could use some work. I'm pretty pleased. The sides didn't grow in as much as the front but such is life. Hopefully it keeps coming in thicker over the next 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
