Your hair seems the same colour as mine and on the finer side just like mine. Did they tell you what micron size it was? 2. What changed from the initial consultation of looking at your donor to the moment they were extracting? Why only at this moment did they notice that your donor is brilliant? Thanks! No problem at all! They didn’t tell me the micron size unfortunately! I think “brilliant” was a bit of an exaggeration by me in hindsight. In the pre-op, Dr Pradeep thought I had very poor donor and went conservative in his plan to do only 4000 grafts. However, when all shaved down for the extractions, he noted it was slightly better than he had initially thought and decided he could get 1000 more grafts out. I guess because i’m still quite fair haired it can be quite hard to assess the donor . What I would say my donor is probably still below average, but not poor as initially thought.

Senior Member Bandit90 Posted April 7, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 7, 2022 1 month post op update Not a huge amount to report. Most hair seems to have shed now and some hairs even look to be growing. Still lots of redness in the recipient, hopefully will start to fade over the coming months. Really happy with how he donor looks, hard to tell 4000 grafts were extracted four weeks ago! Will be shaving the donor down to a number 1 at weekend. I've also took a couple of zoomed in shots on the temples, for those with the interest 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you do us a favour and try to find out your micron size next time you catch up with them? Perhaps they have that on record...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the amount of hair extracted your donor is looking pretty good. 1 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

If they don’t have it I’m back there in October for the second sitting, so will ask them if could measure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MazAB Posted April 7, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 7, 2022 (edited) The ugly phase has officially begun! Don't worry, you look great bro! You kept a fair amount on top as well which is always a good sign. I do agree with everyone else here on the temple points. Sharp as hell! By the time they have matured, you can knock out everyone around you with just one look! Edited April 7, 2022 by MazAB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Bandit90 Posted May 5, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 5, 2022 Month 2 Update Right in the middle of the ugly duckling phase, therefore not a huge amount to update on. Redness is still there, hopefully it starts to fade within the next month. The wild hairs are starting to make an appearance! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MazAB Posted May 5, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted May 5, 2022 The wirey, kinky, hairs will grow wild for a while until they start to setting down and look more normal towards 5 months and beyond. Nice to see even growth all around Seeing balanced sparse growth in the early stages is typically is a good sign of a lower transection rate. You got a road ahead of you, but everything is on track! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
