Regular Member Cody95 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) These ones are Immediate Post Op. Surgery took about 8-10 Hours. Was totally painless. The numbing was excellent. Virtually Zero discomfort. The first few nights were a bit tough because of the uncomfortable bandages and throbbing headaches. Was prescribed Oxycodone painkillers and it took all the pain away. By day 4 there was virtually no pain just tenderness.

Regular Member Cody95 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 20, 2020 8 days post op. Scabs came off. Small hairs just before the shedding phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Cody95 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 20, 2020 1 month post op. Shedding. A few hairs still remained but most of them fell out. The shed started at about 15 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Cody95 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) 7 weeks post op. Regrowth began again. I was surprised at how soon it started. Mind you, I am taking 1mg Finasteride daily and 5% Minoxidil Foam twice a day which works to speed things up a bit. But all in all its a great start. Folliculitus started around this point. Small red bumps from the new hairs trying to break through the skin. Sometimes a bit itchy but not bad at all. Its a good sign!

Regular Member Cody95 Posted November 15, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 15, 2020 In case anyone was wondering about the FUT scar. Here is how it looks at just over 3.5 months. Just a bit red but otherwise not noticeable. The surgeon used a trichophytic closure technique which minimizes scaring and allows for hairs to grow through the scar. Pretty happy with it overall.
