marvhairloss Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Amazing results, happy for you. You said you didnt have a hairline for more than 10 years prior to your transplant, so you were balding for quite some time I assume ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowly from probably about 18 … it accelerated rapidly when I hit my late 20s … I had a high hairline but very thick hair until my late 20s…. Which is when I started to wear a hair system ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member captaincalico Posted November 27, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 27, 2021 Hey Guys So I have had my second hair transplant with Dr Mwamba 10 days ago now. This time 2300 grafts for my crown and zone 3, making it a total of 6000 grafts. 80 of those grafts were used to create a widow's peak on my hairline. I also had my second MesoPRP session at the clinic before the surgery (PRP with Acel and Dutasteride Mesotherapy combined) and started oral minoxidil (2.5mg daily). I am experiencing quite a bit of shedding but Dr Mwamba says it's normal given the second treatment, surgery and specially oral minoxidil, and that my hair will recover in 3 months. So I'll be back with a video at month 8 or 9 and update once my hair recovers and the second transplant starts growing out. I must say my donor is looking like nothing has happened and I am extremely happy with the management and results so far ! Couldn’t thanks Dr Mwamba enough ! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like my experience atm, its harrowing to lose your hair in your twenties, but I couldnt imagine wearing a hairsystem, isnt it even more damaging to your remaining hairs ? Also congrats on the second successful OP, I am looking forward to see the new pics of the treated areas, maybe youll have a full head of hair after all !

Senior Member captaincalico Posted December 1, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 1, 2021 hey guys hope you are all well… quick question … anyone else develop more spots on the crown area after surgery ? I seem to have more on my crown then When I had my first op at the front…. Some are a little sore but not sore enough for me to fe worried about the grafts … should I be concerned or is this totally normal ? Obviously I don’t want to lose any grafts ! Possibly something that happens a lot called foliculitis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member captaincalico Posted December 4, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 4, 2021 Ha ye man it’s getting there … I’m at month 6 so I’m hoping the next two months I should see some big changes … from the first surgery I mean! And then March time I should see the 2nd surgery start to come through ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member captaincalico Posted December 6, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 6, 2021 Starting to wear the hat back a bit … showcasing the new hairline …. Which looks super dense already and I am only at 6 months!! I have a load of very small colourless hair coming through just behind the hairline now ! All from the first surgery… so in a month or two I expect to see a big change in density around the central 3rd … and by February March time the 2nd op should really start making an appearance! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member EHZ Posted December 13, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted December 13, 2021 Thank you . I’m looking into Dr Mwamba but I’m a little confused how he does some surgeries here in Atlanta and New Jersey and if he is the one doing the whole procedure or if other doctors he is training are doing them . As there is little information on how it works here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
