Regular Member BJ47 Posted December 21, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 21, 2022 I'm almost 7 days post op and wanted to share some pics. Planned on 3000 grafts with Dr. Cooley, 2500 frontal + 500 crown, and ended up with 3416. That was a happy surprise! 1 - 1042 2 - 1487 3 - 887 These pics are all from the day of the procedure. I posted another, lengthier post here if you're interested in more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Vann Posted December 21, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 21, 2022 Was there a reason you planned for 3k with FUT? Were you able to get a larger cut and get more grafts? Or was 3k the most you wanted to do in that one operation?

As far as FUT vs FUE, I already had a scar from my first procedure so I didn’t see any reason to press for FUE. My understanding is that FUT tends to have a higher graft survival rate and FUE can cause a diffuse thinning in the donor area if a large number of grafts are removed.

This was day 3 after my first in-home shampoo. The redness subsided and by day 7-8 the scabs had fallen off. It looked just like a buzz cut in the transplanted areas. I don’t have any photos of that.
