Senior Member shookwon33 Posted July 3, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 3, 2019 Sure @Melvin-Moderator. This is from yesterday fully wet after shower. Any idea what that white residue is and how to get rid of it? Or is it normal and nothing to worry about? You can’t really see it when the hair and scalp dries up though...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted July 3, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 3, 2019 Looks like you’re still crusting. Soak your hair in conditioner and gently rub the crust off. At this point your grafts are safe. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Senior Member elduterino Posted July 10, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) You can still scratch your head with those or unconsciously remove those during sleep The rope tied to the wrists is a must for any HT until 10days IMHO so I one can relax and not worry about it Edited July 10, 2019 by elduterino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member shookwon33 Posted July 15, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2019 Just wanted to ask everyone to poll when they gained their normal sensation in the donor area, top of the scalp post hair transplant? Just curious when I should be expecting a return of full sensation to the areas, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbess up on my crown, I didn't have any work done there but I guess the nerves got affected, lasted about 8 or 9 months. I occasionally would get a very sharp quick shot of pain. like somebody stabbed me with a needle. I just assumbed that was the nerves growing back together. That hasn't happened in six or seven months now. I'm 17 months post op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member shookwon33 Posted August 24, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 24, 2019 Hey guys this was taken at 2 months and 3 weeks. I definitely have a lot of growth happening thin and peach fuzz growing especially on the corners and sides of the hairline. Looks very promising honestly. Middle of the hairline isnt seeing as much peach fuzz but Im sure it will come in within the next month for sure. Exciting times are ahead I hope! :)))) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice any enhancements from it? Also do you take any other vitamins/supplements with it? I have the same hairloss/thinning on my hairline as you did pre-op.

Senior Member shookwon33 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 4, 2019 Its hard to say if I noticed any enhancements. I don't think anyone on finasteride will be able to honestly tell you if they've noticed significant gains from it unless they had exessive hairloss and you can visibly tell the difference but for a norwood 2/3 it would be hard to tell and I am a norwood 2.5 i'd say. I take 10,000 mcg biotin, 5000 IU vitamin D, and a ZMA pill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fill your rx at costco or walmart and its still cheaper than hims. I believe costco sells 90 pills of 1mg fin for less than 20 bux. 5 mg split up will be even cheaper. If you like the convenience of it being mailed to your home then I guess you can pay more.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member shookwon33 Posted September 27, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 27, 2019 4 month update! Lots of tiny sprouts. Caught this weird angle so you can see all the mini sprouts. I do have like what feels like an ingrown hair on the right side of my hairline, it kind of hurts a little when you rub it not sure if this is normal? Maybe it’s just a hair trying to push through? If anyone has experience with this let me know thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member shookwon33 Posted October 12, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 12, 2019 4 months and 2 week update. Every single day my hair appears to be getting more dense. Very happy with how things are coming along.. id pay for this procedure anytime. Heck I’d even pay $12 per graft if these results keep improving like this. It feels insane to no longer have a receding hairline anymore. I honestly think I may have the hairline I had when I was 10 years old or maybe even lower? Damn I don’t know but let’s go boys!!

Senior Member shookwon33 Posted October 27, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 27, 2019 4 days away from being 5 months post op. Update: I can officially say that all nerve endings on the top left f my head and donor area have finally returned to normal like pre op I feel like. So if anyone wondering I’d say it takes 5 months before you regain complete normal sensation again and no more numbness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
