14th Day: Donor Area and Hairline

I’m very happy with how it all looks.  If you zoom in, you can see a lot of the mini scabbing. The redness has diminished so much, I had to go back to Day 1 pics to remember what area was covered. It’s also very easy to forget what your native hair pre-surgery looked like. I had that much hair? 🤣

I like wearing short hair (not typically this short), so this gets me excited for things to come.  The lighting is a down spot. I’m expecting the mass shed soon.

Here are a few recent photos. I think it’s more interesting to see  pics that are months apart vs weeks which is why I haven’t followed up. But since you asked….


This first pic is 4 months 3 weeks. 😁 Reminder, my temples haven’t seen hair in 25-30 years. 9FCDA407-D682-473E-B506-B2692EF5639E.thumb.jpeg.b4f586384217093c0f2a6d44069671f2.jpeg 
 

This next pic is a week later at the 5 month mark (last week). I had just finished running 3 miles without a hat on my head for the first time in maybe 35 years .  I’ve always been self conscious of how I looked after running. Not now! What I really like is seeing the lowered and clearly defined hairline.

This next pic below is an example of the before/after hairline. It really shows the difference between then and now (5 months post-op) I’ve always liked keeping a shorter haircut, but with age, it became more difficult for my native hair to hide my receded temples.  

The defined hairline is what really is amazing. I’ve driven in a convertible recently without a hat which is a huge indication on how I feel about the progress. I have many months ahead to keep improving.  I do use fibers now (never knew about them until this forum) which also improves the overall appearance.  I prefer to wait until month 10-12 to show density, harsh light comparisons, etc. 

Note: it’s important to add that the “illusion” of density is what also makes the bottom photo look so good.

The skin became pretty itchy and I started seeing the hairs sprout around the 3 month mark. Some hairs have grown faster than others. My left side initially was slower growing than my right. Lately my temples started getting itchy again. Made me wonder if new hairs were starting to sprout again. It’s hard to tell with your own eyes.

Update?

I just passed 9 months. I’m very happy with the results. I’ve had a receding hairline for the majority of my life, so it’s been fun playing with new hairstyles. My family loves it. They crack jokes saying I look like I’m in a “boy band” now. My best buds who were both blessed with great hair also like it.  Keep in mind,  I do use hair fibers to provide the appearance of better density. I actually never knew fibers existed until I joined this group. One of the best decisions I’ve ever made and money well spent!
