Donor looks really good post op! Clean work 

[waterworld]

One week post-op, donor area. Next update will be in a month.

One month update.

 

I haven't seen any new density. Of the hairs that have been there since the scabs came off, they have grown in length, but sadly, nothing else has sprouted. Not sure what to make of it.

@waterworldAny updates?

Hi everyone @Pbaird98

 

Here are some recent photos. The single graft follicles that make the outer line have grown in length. I still have large areas that are smooth to touch, suggesting there is close to zero growth in those spots. But the hair that is growing in length adds some coverage to these spots (you can see that in the flash photo), which gives it the appearance of slightly more density than the previous month...but this isn't exactly new 'hair'. I'm 2 and a half months into the process.

I cut my 'original' hair to a low 0.5 buzzcut, which blends in with the current level of the transplanted hair. From a distance, this looks quite level.

@waterworldThanks for the update. I see someone else was set to have a ht done at this clinic so this is good timing.

Thank you, good to see. I was wondering who did the FUE bit (the graft harvesting) did you say the doctor didn’t do that part? 
 

If it wasn’t a doctor doing the fue do you think that may have had an effect on the outcome? I’m interested and I can’t find another clinic that administers ‘medalozam’ that seems like it would just knock you out for the day

The doctor didn't do that part, correct. This is true for most clinics. I'm not sure whether the result would have been much different - it all depends on experience and skill. Presumably, with enough experience, the technician should be well qualified for the role.

I suppose in theory. There are clinics which have offered to put it in writing that the surgeon does the FUE surgery bit of the process so that’s comforting.

 

I see what you mean but also can’t understand how a doctor can claim to be an important (and expensive) part of the process and then let any old assistant do the actual surgery! What are we paying for? 
 

i hope it comes through for you. I won’t be going to Wimpole though it all doesn’t sit right with me.

5 months

Starting to look much better and the real results will be from 6 months onwards. Looking good 👍
