Senior Member johnny2000 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 4, 2015 Well so much for hopeing not to Shed ? I have shedded both transplanted hairs and native hairs. I look like crap now, my hair is now at the worse stage EVER in my life ? At This point im very sad, because my native hairs have Shed, if they dont come back im screwed. He did transplant into thin areas but i still had a bit of hairs there but now its allmost all gone. The remaining hairs is transplanted hairs that is sticking around because they are stucked in my Dam. Sebum build up on the scalp. I am afraid to just scratch the sebum of because Then the rest of the hairs Will Fall and Then i would look so so bad. I can really feel how much This period is affecting me. Also because i Think This excessive sebum i have is causing harm and shedding to my hair. How the f..k Can i get rid of producing This sebum shit???????? ?

Senior Member esrec Posted December 4, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 4, 2015 hey man, I gotta be honest... I'm not seeing all this loss you're speaking of. I dont even see all that much shed from the pic..... but like we were talking about. All normal. Gotta remember to associate shed = normal bc its part of process. You have light hair which makes the contrast against your scalp much better. You're lucky. My hair is dark black. The sebum is another story. What has your doctor said?

Senior Member ZeoRanger Posted December 4, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 4, 2015 Sorry but you need to chill. Nearly everybody sheds - those are the rules of the game. Doing a HT with the expectation not to shed is as unrealistic a playing lottery with the expectation to hit the jack pot. It's now a waiting game - as it is for everybody else. There plenty of threads here that documents how shedded native hairs grow back as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member johnny2000 Posted December 4, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 4, 2015 I know i need to chill but its just hard because i allready had 1 failed HT. But the problem is not the Shed of HT hairs, it is the Shed of my native hairs. I expected to loose Them but i didnt expected to loose This much native hairs. It even looks worse in the mirror than on the photo. Lorenzo Also said in the email that shockloss should return. But please understand it is a hard time when you allready had 1 failed HT in your bagage. Allthough that was not dr. Lorenzo who did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Petchski Posted December 7, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 7, 2015 I think that if you accept that it will get worse before it will get better it may help you relax a little, but i totally understand your anxiety. That sebum like stuff is just skin shedding, it's actually pretty common, when i was having my 1 day post op check a guy came in to Lorenzo's office and was worried about the exact same thing and he was on day 12. i'm at day 6 now and i have it too mostly on my temple points especially after washing, the skin then goes really dry, i just put emu oil on it and it looks much better, it won't effect your result -------------------------------------- My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Feller Dr Feller Jan '09 2000 grafts Dr Lorenzo Dec '15 2222 grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try your best to find positive. Its good to challenge yourself and see what you're made of. Besides, worrying brings you no closer to the outcome. And guess what-stress can negatively effect your immune system so try to resist. Petchski--you went under again? Howd it go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Petchski Posted December 9, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hey Esrec, Yeah there was a cancelation, so i got an appointment two months earlier than originaly booked, good for me as i'll be in better shape come spring when it's time to mingle more. I' will be posting a thread about it tomorrow with some new photos, but it went well, although i've been part of an unlucky 10% who gets extra donor pain, so i've had my own post op wobble/panic, fearing that i'll be stuck with pain in the back of my head forever, but chatted with the doc about it, and alls cool, just got to ride it out with some ibuprofen at night so i can sleep, just hit me by surprise as i didn't expect it and it didn't start till day 5. Will start my own thread though, as i dont want to hijack Jonny's. -------------------------------------- My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Feller Dr Feller Jan '09 2000 grafts Dr Lorenzo Dec '15 2222 grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is less on the sides and back, and alot all over the top of my scalp. But if it want affect the HT result Then that is fine. I just fell my hair is worse all together when i have This sebum. I Think it causes hairloss. Hopefully only tempeary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member johnny2000 Posted December 10, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2015 Well now i hit the rock bottem Just washed my hair proberbly with t/gel shampoo and allmost all the sebum came out. BUT Thousend of hairs came out along. All the hairs that went was only sticking around because it was stuck in the sebum.

I even starting resaerching hair pieces and SMP I think that's a bit premature, keep positive, this forum is here to support guys going through the HT experience. I'm sure I'll feel pretty shitty in a few weeks once my grafts shed & maybe get shock loss. You've used a top notch surgeon and if the result isn't right, he stands by his work.

Pete-from-Farjo Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Try to stay positive johnny. I know it's hard not to let negative thoughts get the better of you, especially if you've had a failed ht in the past. But you've got to remember you're just at the six week mark and your hair is going to pretty much look it's worst at this point. I'm confident as each month goes by you're going to start seeing improvements. Try to keep your chin up mate.

Senior Member Petchski Posted December 10, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2015 Most of the hairs do shed, so nothing unusual is happening, and like i said earlier, it will get worse before it gets better, and it just did get worse, no more shedding from here on, you just need to power through these next couple of months. The sebum thing/build up is probably because you were washing your hair too gently, then you washed properly and the grafts came out, which probably were ready to drop before anyway. I'm on day 9 now so i'm still rocking the buzz look, but pretty soon my grafts are going to fall and i'll be down in the pitts too, wishing my hair to grow and the time to pass. Keep the faith Jonny, this is the hardest part of the hair transplant, the waiting. -------------------------------------- My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Feller Dr Feller Jan '09 2000 grafts Dr Lorenzo Dec '15 2222 grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the faith Jonny, this is the hardest part of the hair transplant, the waiting. Yeah i Think you are absolutly right about the sebum build-up was keeping my hairs and that i didnt wash proberly. I was normally allways gentle when washing and after This HT i have been super gentle, but i just needed the sebum to go away because it had gotten so bad that it was a thick thick layer, so i just scrubed it off. Only concern is all the native hairs that has fallen out these last couple of weeks. Anyway all i Can do is just wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
