Regular Member Ramons Posted November 11, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted November 11, 2022 4 month update....almost - will be 4 months on November 20th and so far so good. recovery after procedure went well, scabbed up and weirdly enjoyed rubbing them off shedding immediately followed at around 4 weeks started seeing growth around 2 months my donor area bounced back really quick - couldn't pick it with the eye in the first month and felt "full" again after 3 months my recipient site remained pink until recently but my scalp tends to do that if I cut anyways temple areas are going nuts - I trim my head every 3 weeks with a beard trimmer on its longest setting little bit of shock loss on the top of the head which is now filling out the "line" across my crown has always been there and probably looks worse as the photos were taken after sleeping Since the procedure Dr Laorwong has continued to respond to my questions often within 48hrs and in most cases the same day. Early days for me yet but I am very happy with the whole process and procedure so far - from speaking to Dr Laorwong, the hotel stay, travel and the recovery. If anyone is considering it and has questions feel free to reach out...only to happy to share my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJM Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 @Ramons Hi mate, if you don't mind me asking - I noticed you left your hair long when you originally got the surgery. Was there any reason you decided to eventually cut it short or just a preference? Only reason I ask is, I'm considering Dr Laorwong and appreciate that he offers unshaven FUE (meaning I could leave my existing hair long to cover the aftermath of the HT). Cheers, M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, M Absolutely no thought behind it at all. They asked how much I wanted shaved and I said do what was easiest for them. I had every intention of shaving the lot for the regrowth time frame after anyways so it didn’t bother me at all. As you can see from the pics I didn’t have much chance concealing it anyways. After the 4 week safety period I shaved it all anyways and have kept doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
