Extremely clean, and most of all its the shape that got my attention. Face is framed very nicely.  Everything seems fitting and natural!   Donor area doesn't look like its been through hell either with Eugenix.  Thanks for the tip regarding using conditioner, I believe after day 8 or 9 i just used regular shampoo in a cup and let it sit on the scabs to soften up and fall by themselves.

Great camera angles btw!  It's not the easiest thing in the world filming yourself in the shower 😁

Thanks Melvin - at what day following the transplant do you recommend doing this?

Day 9, per studied this is when the grafts won’t dislodge even with scabs.

My donor area looks even better, no lie. I have no idea how, but Sethi extracted in a way that made everything blend, no patchiness.

My doctor said not to touch the recipient area for 28 days and after a month, it will be ok to wash off the scabs then. You agree?

that sounds kinda long.  Most docs seem to say 14 days max.

Shockwave therapy for erectile dysfunction: Is it the best treatment?

Erectile dysfunction is a common problem that can interfere with a person’s quality of life. There are a variety of treatments available, but shockwave therapy may be the best option for some people.

Shockwave therapy is a type of treatment that uses high-energy waves to treat pain and other conditions. It has been shown to be effective for treating other conditions, such as musculoskeletal pain, arthritis, and back pain.

I am going to Nader. Someone else that went to him the instructions show that they should start rubbing recipient areas on day three with shampoo. 
 

any thoughts? I thought this should start on day 7 but the instruction sheet shows gently start rubbing on day three.

Ya I had the same question. Nader's post op care says to very gently wash and massage the recipient area starting day 3 (48 hours post HT). He explained the idea is to begin removing the scabs or at least starting to "sand them down". 

I followed the instructions and washed and massaged on day 3, but haven't since then as it seems a bit on the aggressive side. I don't think I lost or damaged anything but just being safe

I just sent Nader a text asking for the reasoning behind this and that others state to wait a week.

You guys should always follow your surgeons advice. This video was in no way a replacement for medical advice, just a demonstration on how to remove the scabs.

Don't overthink it. As long as you aren't unreasonably aggressive and keep the area clean it really doesn't make much of a difference. 

I was washing the recipient starting on day 1 after surgery. (First time at the clinic, by myself after that).

You don't need to rub, but from the little that exists for studies it seems that the hair is already quite secure by day 4. Mind you, this was with older surgical methods (bigger punches and incisions than today) that caused more trauma and likely took longer to heal. But with that they found that by day 4 pulling on hair didn't cause the graft to get lost, but pulling on the scab did until day 6. 

It's likely that with the methods someone like Dr. Nader uses (small punch for extraction, cutting the channel not log before implantation, and implanting with a dull implanter pen) will have you healing enough sooner than that. 

So light rubbing by day 3 and more aggressive rubbing after about a week seems safe. You don't want scabs to be present any longer than needed for optimal results anyway.

Rubbing grafts on day 3? Not sure any doc would recommend that….

I was responding to a post that said Dr. Nader was recommending that in his post op instructions. 

And as I said it's not entirely unreasonable. I know some other surgeons like Bloxham say similar things
