Senior Member ITA Posted September 10, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 10, 2021 @digimon2323 In my opinion it looks like a clean job, maybe I see some extration from the zone no safe, a bit too high to be clear, but otherwise everything seems ok. Now you just have to have a lot of patience and wait for the result.💪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MachoVato Posted September 10, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 10, 2021 Yes, I agree that it all looks as it should. Good distribution, maybe a little higher than most we see, but it looks to be good donor zone. Don't be alarmed about the red spots, they will heal very fast, within a couple weeks. Follow your clinic's instructions with lotions and sprays. Most people use saline spray every couple hours to help with scabs and healing process.

I dont know if it was because we have no hairloss except temples in my family. My brother is 34 and he is basically NW1-1.5 with no sign of loss and my father is 65 with maybe NW3 temple peaks.

I found your thread aswell, I will follow it. 9 hours ago, Gokuhairline said: nice, will you be taking any meds soon ? minox/finas oral or topical ? happy growing Thanks. For this moment since I have not lost any hair since I was basically 18-20, I am turning 27 now in a few months and my family in generations have at worst NW3 hair pattern even my father which is 65 have only temple peaks I will only take multivitamin with saw palmetto for the moment and I will monitor future hairloss wisely. If I start to lose some I will def go on mediciation fast. Edited September 12, 2021 by digimon2323 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted September 11, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2021 Donor extraction area looks fine to me, it depends on the individual. Yours looks like it could give plenty more if needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Mohamed Yaman the extraction guy commented it under surgery that there were "alot of nice 4s." This is the summary I got of different type of grafts.

Yes since I have medium-thin hair, 0,45mm it will hopefully add density that way with alot of multiple but now its just a waiting game. It heals up pretty good, some itching started today and I am very swollen around the ears/eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the effect of the aloe vera because it really removes all annoying itching, should not be a problem aswell to use some aloe vera gel in spray form when its dry?

digi23 Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) Day 5, it is healing up quite nicely but I have alot of pain and itching in the donor area, I think it is the nerves that are hurting.

digi23 Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) Day 10, scabs have been removed and itsssss hair Still pink/red but it will maybe take a week or so to get it to fade abit. If you look at the donor area, you can see that they indeed did do some extractions abit high it seems, I am pretty sure the tech guy "Öguz" who did some more extractions in the very end did those because he was only working high up. I guess he does not have alot of experience from extraction since he was in the implantation team. You can see if you look closely that extractions have been made in the "cowlick", which I think is quite unneccesary when it is my first ever ht and only 2550 grafts.

Senior Member ITA Posted September 19, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2021 Don't worry @digi23 now it's just a waiting game, I know it's easier said than done, especially for you who are your first transplant. For redness, it is not the same for everyone, there are those who fade before and those after. I noticed you have a lot of multiple grafts, those give more coverage, hopefully none have happened in hairline though. 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The donor area is abit worrying if you would do 4000+ grafts with them, since I did only 2550 and they got pretty high on me. But I think the donor area looks fine for now? Hopefully it will be a good result in the end anyways, I am not so picky I just want a full head of hair.

Senior Member ITA Posted September 19, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) @digi23The donor area does not look bad, you are just 10 days after the transplant, let it heal, one piece of advice I can give you is to stay away from mirrors, especially between the first and third month.
