Vertighost Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) Hey guys! I'm on day 12/13 after a 3200 graft HT on my hairline and temples. Today was my buddy's birthday and he had a picnic in the park (86 degrees NYC summer). I was told to avoid direct sunlight or wear a hat. Not realizing that indirect sunlight can also affect my grafts/skin through UV rays too, I sat under a shaded tree area for about 3 hours or so (3:30 - 6:30pm). I'm a tanned dude of SE Asian descent and pretty much never get sunburned ever, so I'm hoping that the damage isn't too badly done. I'm feeling super tired and drained from being out in the heat and socializing, but not necessarily in any pain (but I do notice a very slight farmer's tan on my body). Can you please take a look and see if I'm screwed and/or if I'll be alright (and of course any advice apart from "don't do that again" which I definitely will make sure not to)? Thank you so much, as I'm freaking out a bit haha. For comparison, here is a pic from yesterday pre-scab removal (don't have any after removing scabs so this is the closest) Edited May 24, 2021 by Vertighost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertighost Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 Thank you, good to hear! I found a shot before the sun from day before yesterday in a different lighting and took one just now in the same lighting to compare, and it looks like less red actually so maybe I lucked out. Will make sure to go full vampire mode in the future when possible lol . Phew... before/after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vertighost Posted May 24, 2021 Author Share Posted May 24, 2021 I can definitely look into that. Is it safe to put in recipient area at day 13? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
