Senior Member HairDew Posted May 19, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 19, 2009 Looks like those little babies are starting to sprout although I still see the implanted area is still quite red. I heard that it will go away in time. Good luck Abe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member feelzgood Posted May 20, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted May 20, 2009 At 3 months that is just the way it should look. The change is comming slowly but you will notice it at the end ot the each month from now on. Looks like it is going to be a very nice result. Good for you Abedogg!

Regular Member Stingray Posted May 20, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted May 20, 2009 Abedog Thanks for the updates. My redness lingered for about 5 months. It's a huge pain. How are your sides recovering. It looks like you had shockloss but I haven't really heard about that happening with FUE. Is it thickening up again? How do you account for it?

Jim Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I think your results to date are very very good. I see a big improvement just in the last 2 weeks. I was in Umar's chair the day after you and I am definitely not as far advanced as you. The prolonged redness seems close to being a non-issue, esp as the hair continues to cover the area. I'd say the worst is clearly behind you. Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Abedogg Posted May 20, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 20, 2009 Stingray, I'll take some pics of the sides soon and post. They have filled in nicely. The right side is still a little thin, but it came back pretty quick after I start putting a little minox on it. I'm assuming it will continue to thicken up. I did have shockloss in those areas. It happened after about a month and wasn't fun. Thanks for the comments everyone. It is encouraging to know that it only gets better.

Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted May 21, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 21, 2009 Congrats on making it past the first 1/4 mark, dude! The hairline looks awesome on you.

Regular Member hairjordan Posted May 21, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hey Abe, did Dr. Umar recommend using minox on the recipient area? He did for me, but I haven't done it, I don't want to start minox and have to rely on it forever...besides its a pain applying it. I hope it won't affect my growth in the long run..

Senior Member Abedogg Posted May 21, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 21, 2009 HJ, Yes he did recommend minox and I've been using it right behind the recip area and on the side that had some shockloss. I plan on stopping once everything has grown in. I did like the stuff that Umar gave me, but now I'm back to my original 5% minox. Transplanted hair shouldn't shed once you stop minox as far as I know. And if it does, I'll be shedding but my hair will still look better. I think the point of it is to speed up the growth process. BTW - did you put minox on your donor area up until 2 weeks prior to the transplant? It was in Umar's pre-op instructions, and I did it but didn't know why. Now, I'm thinking it may increase the speed of growth since i seem to be an early grower.

Regular Member hairjordan Posted May 21, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted May 21, 2009 I haven't used minox anywhere...., it gives me weird side effects. I tried it once many months ago...before my transplant and it gave me a weird reaction. Rapid heartbeat, needless to say that was enough for mr to stop. I have been using propecia and niz religiously for 10 months.... I have minor shockloss behind my right temple but nothing to be too worried about, my donor area has almost healed up 100%....no shockloss that I can see. Minor red dots on the right side by I suspect they will be gone within the next few weeks... I hope I'm not doing any harm by NOT using minox...
