Regular Member HairyDDS Posted January 9, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted January 9, 2017 Will be adding more to this tomorrow but wanted to get it started. I recently had FUT surgery with Dr. Alexander on 12/28/2016. He did a great job and I am excited to see the progress over the following 12 months. See attached photos.

Senior Member mosd Posted January 9, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted January 9, 2017 Did you shave anything before the surgery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member HairyDDS Posted January 10, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) Did you shave anything before the surgery? No I didn't shave anything. Dr. Alexander shaved part of my crown and I think around my temples. Hard to recall as the Xanax was kicking in and it was a long day so I don't remember all details. Any input from other guys who have had HT as to how they think it looks? I was hoping to get more coverage in my hairline and temples but I think Dr. Alexander did the best with what he had to work with.

Regular Member HairyDDS Posted January 13, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 13, 2017 Just over 2 weeks out. Still some scabs hanging on but I'm liking the way it's turning out. I see that there some little hairs attached to the scabs that flake off. Are those grafts falling out? I'd hate to be losing some grafts. Didn't know if the follicle was safe under the skin. Overall I'm very optimistic but playing the waiting game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dr. Scott Alexander MD Posted January 13, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted January 13, 2017 Thank you for taking the time to post on the forum. Everything you have mentioned is all very much part of the shedding process. It can be a little worrying to see the hairs in the scabs but nothing at all to worry about. Please keep us all updated on your progress.

Regular Member HairyDDS Posted February 26, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 26, 2017 I'm at 2 months post op. Not really seeing much. My hair actually looks thinner than it pre op which I assume is due to shock loss. I haven't noticed any grafts starting to grow in my hairline area. Hoping to see some new hairs sprout soon. Just wanted to provide an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member HairyDDS Posted March 15, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 15, 2017 11 weeks post op currently. Starting to see tiny hairs sprout up. Still in the thick of the ugly duckling stage. My scalp still feels really tight and I feel like I need to itch it and stretch the skin out all the time.

Senior Member sutureless Posted March 16, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 16, 2017 Scanning the graft placement and already some significant growth, this is likely to be a very good result. Good luck to you sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member HairyDDS Posted July 28, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 28, 2017 The hairline is coming in nicely. Still hoping for more density in the crown. I've been on finasteride for 9 months. Surgery was 7 months ago today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
