Update: today is day 8. I have done 2 head washes using dove soap over the last 2 days. I’ve attached a couple of pictures that show what my head looked like with the scabs and then after I removed them. Have sent eugenix post care team some update pictures as well. They confirmed the scalp looks clean and that everything seems to be healing nicely. Does anyone have any thoughts? 

Looks good

haha thanks fellas. It looks pretty terrible in these pics cause I just let it grow out in case we needed some grafts for the procedure. When it’s trimmed and shaped up it looks much better lol. 

Is you’re chest hair also plentiful?

I would say I have more than the average guy but nothing too crazy.

This one will be exciting to follow. You seem to have unlimited beard grafts, even the likes of Krathos would envy your beard. 👍👍

[caveman]

@lunch_owlhaha thank you.

Today is day 11-12(due to time difference from India) post transplant! I wanted to post a couple of update pics.
 

I have been shampooing my hair once daily as recommended by Eugenix. I have not noticed much hair fall but do see the occasional 3-4 hairs on my hand while washing. My head has not fully recovered from the anesthetic, as I still feel some numbness when I touch my scalp. Although, each day it is getting better. My donor area has been somewhat itchy so I ordered some organic aloe vera get to apply (will get here tomorrow). Does anyone know if this is only to be applied to the donor area?

Also, the back of my head has healed faster in my opinion than the sides of my head. I can kind of see the holes from the punches on my skin and the hair doesn’t seem like it’s coming in the same way that it is on the back of my head. Any thoughts on this? I’m sure it takes time for things to heal but was just curious. 

I am looking forward for the next few weeks to pass so I can start wearing a hat and hitting the gym again!
 

Hope everyone is having a great Friday!

Hi Jay- Great meeting you! You have promise for a great result! It is possible that the sides of the head can be experiencing some temporary shock loss which can potentially take some time to recover. I have seen this over and over.

Looking forward to seeing your progress. I'll be posting my journey pronto.

Hi Adam thanks for the feedback. Thought it may be shock loss but doesn’t seem to be too severe!

Ive got my fingers crossed that the results are as promising haha. 
 

I’ll be posting updated every month so be sure to check them out! I just checked out your post and things are looking amazing. Very happy for you brother.

Awesome man- I think yours will turn out to be stellar

@caveman Hey Bro, Hope everything is going well for you. We have a very similar hair loss pattern and looking forward to seeing your progress. Also, Did you choose not to shave your beard or didn’t need to? I have a surgery coming up with Dr Bansal, and My beard is almost as good as yours, lol.

Hello everyone. Today marks 1 month after my procedure ended. Everything seems to be in order. I have continued to shampoo my hair daily or every other day and am taking the vitamins that eugenix recommends to their patients. I’ve noticed hair fall (about 15-20 hairs daily) which started at the end of week 2.
 

I started weightlifting again at the end of week 3 after speaking with the eugenix care team. I was initially told that after 1 week, I can resume my normal routine but I wanted to be extra careful. Then eugenix told me that after week 3 it is totally safe. 
 

Aside from this, not much to report on. I am guessing there will be further hair shedding for the next month or two before I start seeing any progress. I’m continuing to play the waiting game.

 

I’ve attached a few pictures of my current status. Let me know if anyone has feedback or thoughts!

 What’s up apex. Everything’s been going well. If your beard is like mine you’ll be good to go bro. I only had 500 grafts taken from my beard because the team was able to get a lot of grafts from my donor. Also, my beard continues all the way down my neck pretty much to my chest if I don’t shave it lol. Luckily, I was able to take 500 grafts from my neck area like by my Adam’s apple. So I only had to shave my neck area down and not my actual beard! Good luck on your upcoming procedure and lemme know if you’ve got any questions.

@cavemanas clean as can be my man. Temple points are, well, on point! 😉 Looking perfecto and couldn't be happier to be on the same timeline brother! So hard to believe its been a whole month since we hung out at Eugenix and gazed at each others heads! LOL! 🤣

Ok good to know, and thank you bro! I haven’t trimmed my beard in over a month or so and looking, well like a caveman right now. 😁

Your progress looks right on track, and those temples points are looking great! 

[SLA]

Sheeeeet I do lmao. 
 

I’ll be showing it all to dr arika and praying it’s good enough to use for density as I age

[caveman]

@BaldingEagle1haha do it up! If you’ve got a beard definitely use that hair first! I saw you made a thread, I’m about to check it out now! Goodluck my man, things will go great

Hell ya bro, haha. Flights about to leave tomorrow. 
 

let’s do this!! Haha

[ApexB]

@caveman 😭 My whole beard was trimmed, I did get 1000 or so grafts taken, so it was much easier to shave it all. I haven’t seen my face without any facial hair since I was 15yo. There goes my No Shave November!

I have a lot of chest hair too, but they said that beard hair grows better so they'll use that instead. Although still not as good as scalp hair.

But as we age, its a good researve to have.

Agreed. Always good to have reserves

Awesome thread following closely!

UPDATE:

Below are my 5 month update pictures(took these a few weeks ago). Overall there’s definitely been changes that have occurred since my last post. However, the hair is very dry and thin looking. To be honest, I liked the look during the shedding when I had just trimmed my hair down lol.

That being said there is still a lot of time for improvement. As of now eugenix is saying I have “40% hairline demarcation.” Does anyone know if that means only 40% of the hairs have popped out and started growing? Or does it mean all the grafts have sprouted but there is only 40% density. It’s hard to find a clear answer on that.

The midscalp is looking fairly thin as of now but again I am staying positive and expecting everything to fill in, as time goes on.

The crown has some growth but it’s like peach fuzz right now and will take a bit longer to grow than the rest of the scalp. Let the waiting game continue. I’ll post another update in a month or so, or as I see more changes occur.

You’ll see pictures before and after a haircut. Something to note, even with a skin fade you can barely see any marks/scarring on the donor area!
