Moderators Al - Moderator Posted February 16, 2022 Moderators Share Posted February 16, 2022 It looks like they used your entire beard area for grafts. How well is that all healing? I've been afraid to take out any FUE grafts from my cheeks and sideburns. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Senior Member Falconary Posted February 16, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 16, 2022 What a great review, has to be among the best I've read. I have a pretty hairy body so it will come in handy in the future I really hope for you the best outcome and It will instill hope for us baldies to use body hair if the resources in the scalp and beard are depleted. Thanks for sharing this and I will follow your progress with excitement. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted February 21, 2022 Author Valued Contributor Share Posted February 21, 2022 Early days at only four weeks post op. Still I now have an idea of the framing of my face. A lot of shedding has already occurred all over. The beard grafts seem to be holding on the longest. The greatest joy already is the fact that I no longer wear caps. I have lost all self consciousness of any scars, SMP that might show, etc. It's an indescribable feeling being in public, etc, after all these years. In time I think the SMP will be an advantage and eventually I will dye all my hair the one color. But I'm just taking everything day by day. Time seems to be just flying so I'm not looking at three months from now, six months from now, etc. Even at only four weeks into my journey I look at my donor at one month of growth before surgery and I still can't believe from where I came from. 12 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Zoomster Posted February 21, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 21, 2022 That donor is in unbelievable shape Adrian..and the temples look perfect...i think the baseline SMP will be your friend here with regards to the overall end result..

I’m applying Vitamin E cream every night and I’ve noticed that it is fading. Surprisingly I can still grow a beard. Dr Pradeep has said that I still have over 500 beard grafts in the bank and 500 odd scalp grafts left also. It’s beyond me. 🙏 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Zoomster. 🙏 Yes I thought my donor in both the scalp and beard would be completely depleted but to my surprise it’s slowly bouncing back even at four weeks. Eugenix certainly know how to manage donor integrity. 2 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 21, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 21, 2022 Not surprised your donor looks this good. I will share my recent donor pics. Looks impeccable. I see your hair didn’t fully shed, a lot of tiny baby hairs growing. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Glad it is all going well, Gatsby. I just wanted to ask how you are getting on with your finasteride dose? I seem to remember you are on 0.5mg Monday, Wednesday and Friday, right? Have you had any negative effects from that whatsoever...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mmokin Posted February 22, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2022 @Gatsbydid you ever have FUE before this procedure? and also how many grafts did you use for the prior strip surgeries you had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
