Hair transplant post 1 week

[Rajiv01]

hey guys

wanted some opinions. Just 1 week post transplant - this was my 2nd transplant.

First one was 2017

basically I just had some thinning in and around previous transplanted hair and my temporal areas also thinned out 

i have opted for the premium pack with Dr Arika. She is lovely and amazing.

Had about 1900 - to fill thin areas, slightly lower hairline and ofcourse the temporal areas.

day 4 onwards started noticing some thin patch just above new transplanted area ( pics ) , started to get obvious

They are quite busy and i managed to ask Dr Arika who quickly had a look and said likely it’s shock loss which can happen. 
 

Hope it’s temporary as I was quite worried. I did notice like their anaesthetic technique where they use multiple injections to numb which means more trauma to the areas. From previous experience it was just numbing main nerves in forehead which blocks entire scalp. 
 

Anyways let me know your thoughts

Do you have any immediate post op pics?

I think it's normal and a consequence of the operation, a little shock loss on the border between the grafted and the native hair.

This was day 2, unfortunately had no immediate post op photos

Do you have pictures before surgery? 

[Rajiv01]

it’s with the team. Can I request for them ?

Eugenix would have taken both pre and post op pics. If you don't have the simply contact them and request them. Can I ask who performed your first surgery and are you on finasteride, etc, to stabilize your hair loss. Thanks for sharing!

[JoeMan]

Even just pictures you sent to them for evaluation might be helpful. 

[Rajiv01]

yes they are sending it to me. Will upload them soon. I haven’t been great with finasteride. Only took them on and off. But I plan to take regular at least for 6 months. It was done in australia by Dr Alam. He did a decent job but yea I was thinning given my non compliance with the meds.

How many grafts did Dr Alam perform? Do you have pre and post pics of his work?

It looks clean. With that new hairline and beard, honestly the buzz cut will also look amazing on you

Was this from Dr Alam???? 😟

[Rajiv01]

hairline looks great. Not worried about that. It’s more the thin patch between native and transplanted hair that I am not sure whether that’s normal or that it was missed

you can’t miss an obvious area , so whether it’s shock loss which I hope improves with time. Quite stressful times knowing there is patches frontal and temporal  despite a transplant. 
 

With Dr Alam , sorry entire scalp just frontal part then it’s easier to put local anaesthetics further higher up in scalp.
