Senior Member londonhairlossvictim Posted September 4, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 4, 2021 Me: 37 year old male Ok so decided to go and get this done, my concern was my templates and hairline.Met the team, on the day no pain or anything. First time experience for me.My only concern throughout the day and even today - the next day is I just hate looking at myself in the mirror! But otherwise I'm relaxed and throughout the whole procedure felt great and calm and treated perfectly.These pics are today, the day after - let me know your thoughts.The dr's team was very happy with how it looks the density there - I don't understand all that because to me it looks terrifying but for them they were happy with what they saw.I will carry on updating this thread with progress.They have given me a 7 day plan to follow for medication and the after care in a very clear and easy to follow method. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted September 4, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 4, 2021 Work looks good, do you have any pre ht pics ? Thanks 🙏 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member londonhairlossvictim Posted September 5, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 5, 2021 This is Day 2 They gave me a plan, I spray my hair with sterile solution every 2 hours and tablets for first 7 days. Sleeping isn't easy as I have to sleep upright but it's only for the first 7 days. Does this look normal to you guys on Day 2? I'm always conscious to be very careful with my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member londonhairlossvictim Posted September 7, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 7, 2021 I got a question for people, so it's been 5 days since I got this transplant there is a big party in exactly 1 month's time I want to attend - do you think I could or my hair won't look good then also? As in would I have gaps, what can I expect roughly in 1 month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JDEE0 Posted September 7, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 7, 2021 1 month in to recovery you will most likely be in full on shedding mode and entering the ugly duckling stage - lots of the implanted hair will have fallen out, so yes there will most likely be gaps and your recipient area will likely be at least a little red, maybe a lot.

Oh no that's not good I can't go to the event if it's like that - so you mean all that part that you need where they did the operation on, will be basically all bald? Even with topik hair fibres I won't be able to cover anything up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JDEE0 Posted September 7, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 7, 2021 I'm afraid so! Some people don't shed their transplanted hairs, or at least they only shed a tiny amount, but the vast majority of people will shed most of their grafts around the time you have mentioned, so it will be mostly bald. However, looking at your pics on a different thread, you had a lot of hair - if you shave all your hair down, I don't think it will be too noticeable due to your native hair as long as you don't have too much redness etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to kind of be able to sweep my hair over it to cover this area and use hair thickners or fibres if i have too / to avoid that bad look when i may experience shock loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, 2 months in, that will have grown out an inch or two since being shaved and will be the same as before, just shorter now obviously (unless you experience shock loss in the recipient, but this usually only happens when the hair there was quite miniaturised/weak to begin with). But, the new transplanted hair will be in the shedding phase between months 1-3 generally speaking and begins to grow only after this time - look up other peoples Ht threads and you'll see how it often plays out.
