Regular Member symphonyofdreams Posted June 15, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted June 15, 2016 A week after 2k graphs and i'm nearly all healed up and a lot of new hair i didn't have before. The question i have is if what i see now the final result? then i will have shock loss and regain that again? or is the final product a year from now much better than a week after?

Senior Member Paulygon Posted June 15, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted June 15, 2016 Great question.. I was going to pose the same question but you beat me to it! My theory is that the first week after surgery is roughly a preview of the final results, assuming a low transection rate that is typical of work performed by top surgeons, such as Dr. Mohebi (my doc). FYI- My implanted hairs stayed in up to day 10 and then started falling out. When I talked to Dr. Mohebi he mentioned that generally FUT has 1-2% transection rates and FUE has 5-10% transection rates, which varies from surgeon to surgeon. That being said, the first week after surgery may show a little better than final results, in case a very small percent (1-10%) of the follicles do not regrow hair. it has been almost 4 years so I apologize if I can't remember in more detail regarding how I looked right after and in comparison to 9-12months after surgery. I am up for my second HT procedure in 11 days and am so excited. I just hope Dr. Mohebi does as awesome a job for me as he did the first time. I will keep you posted.. and I will try to update about my case of comparing the first week after to the final results. Paulygon is a former patient of Dr. Parsa Mohebi My regimen includes: HT #1 2710 grafts at Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration in Los Angeles in 2012 Rogaine foam 2x daily, since 2012 (stopped ~10/2015) Finasteride 1.25mg daily, since 2012 (stopped ~12/2015) HT #2 3238 grafts at Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration in Los Angeles in Jun. 2016 Started Rogaine and Propecia in July. 2016 after being off of them for about a year.

I'm on day 8 after and it seems to be getting better every day which doesn't make sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted June 16, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2016 It should be your result minus anywhere between 2 to 15 percent. It really depends on your growth. You also have to consider of you lose any native hair. I am an online representative for Dr. Raymond Konior who is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.

Regular Member symphonyofdreams Posted June 16, 2016 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 16, 2016 Right now also have a ton of black dots without hair coming out. i'd assume this means hair has already fallen out and will eventually grow in these areas?

Senior Member ModernHair Posted June 16, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2016 My FUE doctor averages 2.8% transection rate (or less) so some of the estimates here may be a bit high for modern FUE. Harris S.A.F.E. System for FUE - Dr. James Harris, Denver | Hair Sciences of Colorado 1,792 graft FUE with Dr. James Harris (Denver, Colorado) on April 2-3, 2015 313 graft FUE with Dr. James Harris (Denver, Colorado) on May 3, 2016 to make it perfect!!!
