Regular Member Croatia44 Posted March 21, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2015 Hello all, Today is my 7 day mark! and my scabs are starting to go away little by little and cannot wait for them to go away. I'm nervous, excited, and anxious all at the same time. So far I am happy. I feel no pain or tightness anymore in my donor area, only discomfort when I sleep because I'm scared I am going to roll over on my grafts. I am also worried that my scabs will not be gone by Tuesday because I have a huge job interview! any advice or techniques? Here are some pics, it was after I took a shower so my hair is wet and I tried to do my best to show my results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Croatia44 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hello all, Here is my 2 month update! not much has changed other than just about all of the grafts have fallen out and I am about the same as I was pre op... I am really looking forward to month 3 as where that seems to be when a majority of the people begin to experience growth! Thankfully finals and school have been keeping me occupied! I hope this next month goes by fast! My only concern is that my donor scar still seems to be red... Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Densityrus Posted June 3, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted June 3, 2015 Looks good , what type of closure procedure did he use? I have a consultation with him soon, can you share how the procedure went, was there pain , what did they use for the pain etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JohnCasper Posted June 5, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hang in there, even if you don't see alot of progress after 3 months, growth will come. My first surgery really filled in nicely after about 4-5 months. I am an online representative for Carolina Hair Surgery & Dr. Mike Vories (Recommended on the Hair Transplant Network).

Regular Member Croatia44 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 17, 2015 @ Densityrus Procedure went well, I was drugged up and did not feel a thing. For me I was off the pain meds after a day... But it is different for everybody. Just make sure you follow his instructions with the pain meds, take the meds before the pain starts not after the pain starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Croatia44 Posted June 17, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hello all it is my 3 month update! and have noticed little hairs growing here and there it is very exciting but frustrating because it is summer time and I want my hair style already! Anyways, you can't notice much in the pictures because not too much has happened since last month. I am really looking forward to my 4 month mark because comparing my progression with others it seems like 4 months is when you really start to notice a difference. Let me know what you all think! Also, my scar still seems to be redish/pink. When did this go away for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently considering a hair transplant too. Best of luck with your regrowth, I really hope you'll get the result you want! Keep been patient and fingers crossed, everything will go really well!

Regular Member Croatia44 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hello all, Sorry for my inactivity, I have been out of the country and haven't really been near a computer. Tell me what you guys think about my progress. I definitely see progression! just want the hair to thicken up and look fuller! I noticed at night time my confidence sky rockets through the roof because light doesn't shine through my hair. At day time I still catch my self thinking that people notice that I am balding. I have attached photos in dim light and under direct light in my bathroom. Let me know what you all think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
