Also on day 1 do they just do the incisions and send you back to the hotel? Sorry one more question (it's 4am and I can't sleep thinking about everything now)..do you just not wash the head at all for two days after the surgery? If you went for the same package as me and a senior doctor is leading it then I just found out on the day. But I was happy to go with any of them tbh. But I really wanted Dr Arika doing the key hairline incisions for sure as for washing. It’s a crap week of just making sure you don’t interfere with the grafts in anyway. Sleeping upright with a travel pillow ideally and then continued spraying of saline for the first week. Though for each of my surgeries once I ran out I actually used bottled water as research shows there is no difference in healing vs saline once you get to day 7 you can wash it gently to start hopefully getting the scabs off. Most people on here manage ti remove nearly all scabs in one go. Took me four days of continued rubbing over them tbh today depending what time you go in, I would imagine it should just start. I honestly feel like they made a bit of a cock up on my first day if I am being honest and if they started on that day then I would of loved to go in for a third day for more beard grafts. But I am happy overall and looking forward to where I get for now hope it goes well today. You’re in good hands. Like @Gatsbysaid. Make sure you are happy with everything. Question anything you are unsure about as even though this was my third surgery. It’s still all fast and overwhelming. Hence why I caught Dr S and made sure he knew what my main areas of concern were. After that I was happy to lie back and let them do it 4 x HT - 10806 Scalp - 1800 Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Stewie Posted February 12, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 12, 2023 2 weeks since having my surgery. Shedding a lot this week already so decided to buzz it down today to around 1-2mm to tidy it up. Can tell how brittle most of the hair is now and falling out as you rub your hands through it.

Role on month 4 onwards ha Hi Stewie, looking good. Can I ask, it’s only 2 weeks post surgery and you say that you buzz cut it down to tidy it up. I thought most clinics advised against using clippers on the donor and recipient area for several weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do, after my first one I got told not to use clippers for 3 months, but for the life of me I don't know why, I can only think its to stop infections, as the skin is still healing in general and they running clippers over it could irritate and maybe cause problems? thats the only thing I can think of? but I did it on my first two no worries and just going to carry on the same this time, I have seen many others do the same thing too 1 4 x HT - 10806 Scalp - 1800 Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Stewie Posted February 28, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 28, 2023 One month on, most of the new hairs have gone and lots of the pre-existing HT hairs have too, funny enough I think its mainly beard grafts from the new procedure that have hung around mainly atm 4 x HT - 10806 Scalp - 1800 Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted March 1, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 1, 2023 @Stewie I found that my first surgery with Eugenix over a year that the beard hair tended not to she as much as the scalp also. 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Stewie Posted June 1, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 1, 2023 Month 4 and finally some growth has started to happen. Hair is only about 3mm long as been keeping it short. New hairs are finally starting to come through. But lots of gaps at the moment still based on what was transplanted. But it’s early days so let’s see how next month pans out as I know it’s always different for each person. I thought I would be further on at this point but I know it’s a slow waiting game 😬 1 4 x HT - 10806 Scalp - 1800 Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted June 1, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted June 1, 2023 @Stewie I met you in person before your procedure with Eugenix. I have to say that for only four months post op your growth is looking excellent. But what really stands out for me is how improved your donor is looking now from when we met!! It looks far more homogeneous! It looks like even better things are in store for you over the coming months for sure!

Yeah definitely, its just weird as my other two started coming out fast around month 4, but I guess different techniques and even differences in me maybe not being as fit as I was a couple of years back might play into how it plays out? who knows? I can feel little hairs and pimples so hopefully come next month ill start to see some real differences 1 4 x HT - 10806 Scalp - 1800 Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Stewie Posted June 17, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Was not going to do another update so early but just took same harsher light pics in bedroom, hair still around 4mm long, but can feel and see tons of new little hairs popping through at last, so hopefully other the next month or so I might see some good improvements Edited June 17, 2023 by Stewie 5 4 x HT - 10806 Scalp - 1800 Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Berba11 Posted June 17, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted June 17, 2023 I'd start to let it all grow out from here on Stew mate. The coverage is looking pretty decent so with some length + several more months of growth and development you'll quickly achieve that illusion of density. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Stewie Posted June 17, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 17, 2023 Thanks guys, actually a bit scared to grow it, not grown my hair since starting to shave it in 1998, its so much of a habit to shave it now ha, but I am going to try and leave it for a bit, might give it once last tidy up this week as with the new growth its all odd lengths and its no good for my OCD 4 x HT - 10806 Scalp - 1800 Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
