One month post op with Dr. Rahal - so far so good and looking forward to feedback.

[EV]

I'm officially one month post-op...finally!...and I'm attaching a photo album in hopes of hearing some feedback from some of the community out there.

 

The album starts with a couple of pre-op photos and then the one-month post-op photos. You'll notice there are photos that show some thinning in my crown and top and then photos that don't. All of the one month post-op photos were taken post-shower and post-Rogaine application and with nothing else. The last photos that show a rather full crown show the result with a few sprinkles of a regular size bottle of toppik. Obviously, I'm going to have to continue to monitor the top and crown. I've been on Propecia for 5 years and Rogaine for about 4 and will continue to stay on them.

 

As for the front, looks like many, if not most, grafts have fallen or are falling out. It's actually hard to differentiate which of the hairs that are left in the frontal zone are native and which are transplanted but I'm fairly sure at least some transplanted hairs are still there are growing.

 

One-month post op photos show hair at one-week post shave-down to a #3. Some hairs are a bit longer as I didn't want to go over the grafts with a clipper so I used a scissors and left them a bit longer.

 

Comments welcome...

Sorry everyone...meant to post pre-op photos here but they were too large and I couldn't resize them. Go to my weblog here to see the pre-op photos and various updates between 2 days post-op and one-month post-op. All told, I received 2350 grafts in the frontal zone.

Looking good. This is Rahal we're talking about, so you know it's going to turn out well. Good work sacking up and going through with it. You'll be happy in a few month's time.

EV,

 

Thanks for sharing your experience and posting updated pictures. Everything looks good for one month. The good stuff won't start for a couple more months. Hang in there!

 

Best wishes,

Congratulations on your recent procedure with Rahal. Already at this early stage your HT looks almost undetectable. A few months down the line and you will for sure be one happy guy!
