Not a whole lot of hairs in the scabs that I noticed. I did take a lot of the scabs during my shower so I am not 100% sure. But when slowly rubbing my scalp the scabs came out on their own without any hairs.

Senior Member Vann Posted July 10, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 10, 2022 The bleeding mainly was stuck to my skin. I guess my clotting was good enough that my skin closed? My donor also healed up really fast. The holes are completely closed and the dried blood made it look worse than it was but overall I am hoping that my skin doesnt have too much visibility.

I am hoping it will cover up some of the empty parts that shed. 1 Follow my first hair transplant journey 3,252 Grafts a minimum of 6,712 hairs June 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm high is ur new hairline? I dont think I understand this exactly... but if youre asking about my hairline I did not have it lowered at all. My hairline has slightly receded over time but it isnt anything drastic. I only had some connections to add some more density to the ends to meet my temple points and reinforce my density. But I had 1,000 grafts placed towards the hairline and everything else behind it to the midscalp. 1 Follow my first hair transplant journey 3,252 Grafts a minimum of 6,712 hairs June 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your donor area look more depleted after the surgery? Or was that how it looked pre-surgery with short hair. that’s my biggest fear, having my donor area depleted. Just came from another post of a guy claiming they destroyed his donor. Edited July 25, 2022 by Mars19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a good question and actually I dont know honestly, I think its a combination of being 21 days post op, short hair, and a little bit of how my hair grows. I think it does look a bit worrisome but then again I wont say anything this early. Ill wait at least the full 6 months and 12 months to be able to fully compare my before/after.

Senior Member Vann Posted July 30, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2022 30 day update. let me know what you guys think it looks. Curious on the subjective opinions of others who are (or have been) in a similar position. It’s hard to gauge where I am at myself since I judge myself very differently then what’s normal.

Regular Member gxm100 Posted August 8, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted August 8, 2022 Looks solid to me at this point! Seems you haven’t shed too bad up this point and looks like you have almost no redness which is great. Only a bit more time can tell on our results but you seem to have recovered excellently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I’m glad to hear that. I honestly have 0 redness to the naked eye. I can only see redness in photos to be honest. I took a photo under extremely harsh lighting and I see some redness and honestly I would’ve thought I was extremely bald if I looked at myself in that type of lighting. as far as shedding I am having a hard time seeing much… but that might be because of my native hair. Which could also make it look worse if it’s temporary shock loss. So like you said only time will tell.

Regular Member gxm100 Posted August 9, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted August 9, 2022 @Vann - yeah I mean it’s hard to say seeing just pictures, but based on those photos, as a stranger I’m not even sure I’d think you are losing hair in any significant way haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Vann Posted August 12, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 12, 2022 I am getting a second PRP treatment today. the first I got 2nd day post op. So it has been about 1.5 months since my operation or 38 days since my my first PRP. i plan to do another PRP about a month from today and perhaps a 4th 6 months from then or another month after. Time will tell. *random tip if you choose to get PRP- I used Groupon at my derm that I see yearly to get my dut prescription refill. Instead of paying $750 per session I ended up only paying $225 with the discount. So look up some coupons or something prior you never know what’s available.
