But thats it You can ask for saline spray, its not really neccesary to do anything else than relax as of now. The body will heal itself and you will be fine by the 10th day and you can remove the scabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will get better and better after 5 days. After 10 days when you get to remove the scabs and sleep normal on the side everything will be much easier so try to have patience the first days, its really annoying the first week. You could also experience some donor pain after 5 days or so, I had really bad donor pain but it subsided pretty quickly. Did you take any medication (Tylenol) for the pain? Also did you stay in turkey for few days after the surgery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member moe007 Posted January 20, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) 9 days post op. Does the scabs looks okay? they dont seem to be going away. It looks pretty similar to 1 day post op. Donor area is bit sensitive. Minor pain went away yesterday, but when i touch it i get weird sensation all over my body. Is that normal as well? Swelling is almost gone i think. How is everything looking? Feel free to give your input Edited January 20, 2022 by moe007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally did not take any pain medication, there was not any pain. Just weird sensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My scabs are not completely gone. I tried massaging, but the scabs are so hard in front that they are not coming out easily.

Regular Member slim999 Posted February 8, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted February 8, 2022 Hi, Great post. If you dont mind can you mention the schedule from the day you landed in Turkey and when you left. The only think that bothers me is catching the return flight with a bloody looking head.

Regular Member slim999 Posted February 9, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted February 9, 2022 Hi, Did you opt for DHI or Sapphire technique ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member moe007 Posted February 10, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hey @slim999.. Well i was not there just for transplant, i was visiting the city as well so my trip was bit longer. But after the hair transplant, i would advise you to stay a night. Next day when they do a wash, after that you can leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with DHI, but @digi23 have mentioned that they only do DHI regardless of what you select. I am not sure of that. But i selected DHI and he selected Sapphire but the procedure was done by DHI. Also his DHI is not a true DHI either. its like his own implanter he uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I said that I think they always use implanter pens, because I choose Sapphire FUE and they used the implanter pens on me. I guess the difference with DHI is that they extract one amount say 1000 grafts, then implant them, then extract 1000 more then implant them. Did they do that for you? With me they extracted all 2550 in one go. Edited February 10, 2022 by digi23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member moe007 Posted February 10, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Exactly 1 month has gone by. In the pictures below you can see the difference between time when scabs came off and today. Looks like shedding has started. Anyone has any comments? the skin is still reddish.

I’m in the same boat, it is so disheartening, but part of the process. Hair transplant is very mental. You have to be mentally prepared for this part. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.
