Senior Member Dillpickle123 Posted November 19, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) Post op: day 7 Just got back yesterday to Cali, flight back was much smoother felt quicker, when I arrived I already had my j&j shampoo ready to use and gave the head a gentle cleanse, donor still has a few spots that hurt a little bit but everything else is going smooth no one can tell I got a transplant at all since my hair covers it pics will show the hair out of the shower and dry, feeling good just waiting for the scabs to start giving way!

Senior Member Dillpickle123 Posted November 21, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Post op: day 9 Today I washed my hair and most of the scabs fell off, donor looks great specifically the nape area has completely healed! No one could tell anything’s been done they just think I got an awful haircut haha I’ve been putting aloe Vera and mauka honey gel on the donor and recipient but tbh there’s no redness very happy with how everything’s progressing just need to power through the ugly duckling phase and hope the density is good pics below from today!

Senior Member Dillpickle123 Posted November 21, 2022 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 21, 2022 When these Tiny recipient hairs grow I’ll have a good look density wise hopefully it’s very easy to cover and I def recommend goin no shave if budgets allows for it and if recipient area is easy to transplant in with long hair!

Idrisshaych Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Hi guys, firstly can I just say the progress is looking good mate, looking forward to seeing the full results. secondly, I have tried to get in contact with Dr Mwamba with regards to booking a consultation + date for HT. the email I have been liaising with is info@fueclinic.com unfortunately, I have been getting very slow replies and unclear information. I was even told a consultation would cost $50 ????? I wondered if anyone knows a better method to communicate with the team so that I can book a consultation. thanks in advance !

That’s the same email I used and it does indeed take a long while to get a response from the team consult was 50$ but he it’s worth it imo since this is an investment that’s not cheap unfortunately slow response time is normal but they’re extremely busy I asked him if he ever takes vacation and he said not really lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member WhereIsMyMind Posted December 16, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the updates. Looking great. Seems most of your transplanted hairs have fallen off. When did this happen to you? Im at day 16 postop (Mwamba too) and most of my transplanted grafts didn't shed. Preparing myself for the worst...

Any transportation recommendations on how to move around in Brussels? Also what is the Pad that you mentioned earlier that you bought from amazon?
