I’d buzz the hair short so it blends in with everything. I've been debating the right time to get a haircut. If I do it now or maybe wait until closer the the third month.

Senior Member Min12 Posted May 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted May 30, 2022 Did you do anything to the recipient or donor area post surgery? Like apply Aloe Vera or ice for the redness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clinic also gave me rosemary oil to apply to the donor area for the first 10 days. Edited May 30, 2022 by RWG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi RWG I am a good few weeks behind you after having frontal work by DR Bisanga. it was always my intention to grow my native hair back as quickly as I can to try and get my comb over to cover up the procedure however I have kept it all buzzed down and it blends in much better. Once I start seeing growth I will let it all grow but in the meantime I intend to keep it buzzed down which I am very comfortable with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious what your guidance was on buzzing hair? In the materials I got post-op it specifically says not to buzz the recipient area for the first 5 months but the donor is clear to be buzzed after a month.

I don’t have as much growth as you yet from my procedure so I just snipped the ends of the longer strands . I would need to check what I was informed but I’m pretty sure it was another month after I could buzz my native hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member RWG Posted June 27, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) 11 week update. Slowly starting to see some growth. I would say I'm more or less back to baseline, but on my left side a bit better at the hairline than it used to be. I'd also add I feel the the minox + fin is starting to show signs of working, especially on my temple points. It looks a lot fuller than it used to and better framed. Im thinking about getting my first haircut this week. Edited June 27, 2022 by RWG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member deeznuts Posted June 29, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 29, 2022 Is that diffuse loss on top or is that just the lighting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member RWG Posted June 29, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 29, 2022 I'd say a mix of both; I took these in a sunny natural light room. When De Freitas shaved my head he said he noticed some diffuse. I'm also hoping some of it is from the first time Minoxidil and Fin use that I'm only a couple months into and not fully recovered from the shed.

I think you have to shave but I can't say for 100% as I didn't have the conversation with him. I just planned to shave as I think it makes the most sense and really isn't a big deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member RWG Posted July 6, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 6, 2022 Officially 3 months post-op and just got my first haircut.Pics taken in room with natural lighting. I'm feeling quite good with where I am at right now. My left side had much worse balding pre-op and where more grafts went so I'm expecting it to be a bit uneven at this point but should hopefully pick up in a month or two.

Senior Member Hairy Henderson Posted July 6, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 6, 2022 Looks great. How many CM's did your hairline get lowered? Can't tell from the front, but, doesn't look like you got any temple work done, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just filled in the existing part that had receded a bit on the sides. No temple work done but I'd say the Minoxidil and finasteride combo have helped to strengthen them.

Regular Member StayThick36 Posted July 25, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted July 25, 2022 I’m currently waiting on Dr. Freitas and his team to get back to me after completing the online consult form. Hoping his wait time isn’t a year. There aren’t enough reviews on him that I can find from actual patients but his work looks incredible. I plan on documenting my entire HT experience and sharing on YouTube if I choose him. Please continue to share your results! Amazing! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member RWG Posted August 2, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 2, 2022 Today is officially 4 months. Wanted to share some updated pics. From a distance and in the right lighting, my hair looks actually looks quite good and i definitely feel more confident with my improved hairline but as you can see the left side where majority of my hair loss was is a bit behind but I see new hairs popping up so hopefully the new growth is now officially kicking off. I am traveling so can't use the same room/lighting as previous pics but tried to replicate in a room with natural sunlight. If anyone has suggestions on different photo angles/lighting requests, let me know. Still trying to figure out the best way to share. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
