[manish1990]

HT @ 28 dec 2013

 

Total no grafts = 1394

singles = 166

doubles = 503

Triples = 725

 

taking biotin 5mg , finasteride 1mg daily and also applying minoxidil 2% 3-4 times a week

recipient area is little numb

 

experiencing severe hair fall ( transplanted hairs as well as native hairs) communicated with Dr Bhatti regarding it, and he said " These are living tissues and will fall and regrow- but you will not loose the roots since they are permanent.

You will have the first result at 5 months post procedure. The hair have now started to enter their respective growth- shedding cycle( Anagen-telogen-catagen phases) "

I think it's looking pretty good, definite improvement compared to previous update

sheds are a pain in the ass and cause for a lot of worry, hope it ends soon for you

 

Dr. Bhatti has given you good advice, even if you lose hairs to a shed or dandruff etc. they should grow back, and 5 months is when things start to look much better

i used to have very sticky(oily) dandruff before HT but now its all gone may be bcoz of finasteride (DHT related problem) ?

I am almost exactly 3.5 months post-op myself, and have experienced significant shedding as well, so I know how unsettling it is. I've found dermatch and Caboki to be decent concealers to help me get through this phase.

Hi. Have you any experience with Couvre by any chance?

A little bit. I tried it out years ago when my hair loss wasn't very advanced, and even then I found it to be a little thick and it did have a strong scent to it as well. Right now I'm just trying to replicate my pre-op look, which was some thining in the front, so my goal is just to "dirty up" my scalp a little bit. Couvre would make my scalp/hair much darker than I was originally which would look a little too off, IMO.

Well, my "shedding cycle" was technically severe shockloss from the trauma of surgery, so no...I don't feel like it was too early. In fact, I posted about my shockloss in another thread and people were surprised that I was still dropping such large clumps of hair 90 days out from surgery. Fortunately it has stopped shedding the past two weeks (I mean beyond my normal pre-op amount), so I'm hopeful the worst is behind me. I just have to wait it out the next few months or so and hope that some of my shock-lost hair returns and that my HT takes.

Oh, okay. So it sounds like Caboki is doing the job in terms of minimizing any signs of shock loss and the surgery. I am happy that the shedding seems to have subsided. The worst part of having surgery is dealing with the effects of shock loss. Thanks for speaking with me about such a discouraging subject.
