Regular Member Yaro Posted September 21, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) Edited. 2753 grafts (plenty of doubles). The pics are 1st day post op (2 days procedure). Was waiting for this for a while and happy hear your opinions. Obviously still a long way to go! My skull shape seems a bit uneven on selfies. Curious as to how the straight hairline suits it Edit: Just turned 25 for more info. Can take more pics. Personal exp - felt little pain after procedure.

No and never did. Took minoxidil - took it before for no result and then for a month some time before the procedure (to cover a bald spot which occurred after a blister). Not using atm but I'm meeting the doctor/specialist some time until Thursday to see on how should I maintain Also took some random vitamins which supposedly help before but also to no help Edited September 23, 2019 by Yaro Mixed finasteride with monoxidil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Yaro Posted September 26, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hi. Thanks. Will provide photos when home. Clinic got rid of scabs yesterday before checking out. Had one more shower after and told that all looks good. Cleaner was surprised the recipient-area scabs went before the ones at the back from the donor. I was concerned about going to uni this Saturday with scabs and it seemed they specifically solved this - happy. The donor ones should be the least concerned. Yesterday when avoiding something when bending down on the way up I gently brushed a plastic thing with a corner of my head with some recipient area. Specialist said over mediocre photo that all looks fine. If there's no pain, no bleeding and nothing fell out how likely is damage from slightly blunt trauma? It was my 5th day post op but no scabs. The only thing I see is small brown spot but it could also be from scabs. Could also be lightning. If I understand even at 5th day post op with no scabs and no bleeding I'll be fine? Seems like they applied more pressure when massaging than me hitting. 🙂 Just being over-reactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodluck and I look forward to seeing your progress. To be honest, I can't be any happier, given that an average patient experiences first growth at the third month stage. My guess this is due to my younger age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Yaro Posted November 7, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 7, 2019 7 weeks without 1 day update (attached). Skin messed up due to extra blood flow messing up with the pores (or something?) - using antibacterial shampoo on both face and scalp as instructed by the clinic (did help the face at first, guess it would be even worse now without it). What I noticed is my natural hairline is already growing out well. In RE to recipient area, I notice a lot of thin white hairs on photos - not sure if temporary. Also notice some thin hairs with thick like bulbs at the end - looks like they got thin now due to stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Yaro Posted November 7, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 7, 2019 Edit: Identified some hairs which appear thin and thick only at end. In RE white hairs, wasn't able to spot them at this compressed quality (came through WhatsApp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Yaro Posted November 10, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 10, 2019 Also noticing a lot of thin white hairs in the recipient area. My understanding is that they will grow thicker in the future and change their color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Yaro Posted November 20, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 20, 2019 Seen the Jefe yesterday, all seems good for the second month Attaching image - how evident is the contrast? Limited amount of people have asked me so far but noticed some stares in my temples when people close by Does it get worse, will people start to tell me that they see growth in bald areas and I'll need to act surprised?

Regular Member Yaro Posted December 12, 2019 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 12, 2019 Just under 3 months update Seeing the doc next week, most likely jumping on Mino after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
