Regular Member andyzhao Posted June 29, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) So after visiting couple top Drs, finally I opt Dr. Cooley for my HT. I feel im most comfortable with him. I had 2000 scheduled +PRP treatment on Friday. I had good experience on the surgery day. Right now I am on Day 2, and just got my first hair wash after surgery by myself. Here are some pics on Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3.. Just got the count from Dr. C 1- 1042 2- 1142 3- 126 Total 2310 I have way fewer 3's ;( Hope it would not impact my density too much.. I will keep this post updated. Thank you!

Senior Member Rawkerboi Posted July 8, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 8, 2015 I wonder why patients don't opt to trim the hair before surgery! Atleast the even hair looks better! Anyways work looks good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member andyzhao Posted July 8, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 8, 2015 Nice work Dr. Great design on the hairline. Should make for a very good result ! Yeah, thank you. A little concern of mine, i feel my left side is a bit stronger and denser than right side, you can tell from the last pic with the flash on. Do you think it would become better eventually?

Regular Member kensington Posted July 28, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted July 28, 2015 I wonder why patients don't opt to trim the hair before surgery! Atleast the even hair looks better! Anyways work looks good... I have been doing alot of research to see if at my age of 52 with very fair skin should consider HT for Norwood 3V moving to 4V scale. I prefer to not cut my hair before so I can "hide" the right after surgery looks that includes post op redness that will probably last 6 months or more for pale fair skin. Please advise if that is a common practice or does it effect the end result? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways work looks good... The only reason i style my hair like this is to get a clear look of the transplant area for pics. I would never walk out like this lol...

Hey thanks for the update, I am less than a month after surgery and am not looking forward to the fall out stage, with that said its just something we all have to go through. Better days are ahead, its nice to have something to look forward to. I will also be doing a write up very soon. Thanks DWH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member andyzhao Posted August 21, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thank you! Updates: its gonna be 85 days. I saw couple tiny hair coming out. Besides that, it pretty much remains the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member andyzhao Posted September 14, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 14, 2015 It is been 2 month 2 week! Glad to see some hairs popping up. I feel I may lose some native hair surrounding the transplanted area tho. What you guys think? Let me know your thoughts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member andyzhao Posted September 18, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 18, 2015 Here is some pics I took. Ive been seeing noticeable shockloss or whatever it is behind the transplanted area, which makes me constantly worry. You can see the difference btw first one which i took on July 26th and the second which I took just now. Besides that, the transplanted hairs seems start to grow. I also took 2 pics of that. What you guys think about it? And should I keep using Rogaine? Can I apply it on transplanted area or only crown? Any inputs would be deeply appreciated. And I will be keeping the updates with the progress. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
