Not sure how good its looking but said the wife its very hard to see what and where the extractions have been done. Also this is the shortest it will ever be as i usually have a grade 0.5 to 1 on the sides. She did also say my haircut is awful but hey ho it will grow 🤣 Luckily my hair grows thick and fast so hopefully be a bit more presentable soon when the sides grow back in. Still a bit of numbness behind recipient area. Sensation seems to be back elsewhere. No pain as such and a bit of swelling in my forehead but not to bad. Any thoughts on the donor from any of you guys that have walked this path as this is all new to me. Thanks guys Donor area looks impeccable! Bisanga’s donor management is top tier, looking good man 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to the top of the head not the donor. You can't cover that up with your existing hair.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 17, 2023 Administrators Share Posted February 17, 2023 @Mike10 Why the antagonistic approach. Seems like you always have something negative to say on a Bisanga thread. Shaving your head to cover an area void of hair isn’t necessary anyway. It would look weird either way once grafts shed. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Wether its shaved or not at some point there will be a stage of discomfort. Its 9 times out of 10 gotta get worse before it gets better. I think its just a part of the process like it or not.

The OP looks very clean with a nice design and as said I am sure this is going to be another good result. You may enlighten me, but is not the point of an unshaven to hide the HTto the public? All due respect mike but you have no idea how long i can take out of the public eye or even how long my hair is. The pictures you judge on are where my head has been stuck under a bandana all day and packed down. Take a look at my before pics (re added for you) and how well i hid the recession. My hair length hasnt changed. Yes the fine hairs were shaved in a touch but If i can get away with it great. If i cant its no biggie ill wear a hat until comfortable. What i was asking the question on was the donor area not whether i look daft or not Edited February 17, 2023 by Neily_77 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Neily_77 Posted February 24, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) Day 9 post op. Donor area is nearly back to the length i usually wear it at and doesnt look like its been touched at all. All donor pain and numbness i had which was very minimal seems to be gone so all good there. As for recipient area this is looking better also as the crusts are mostly if not all gone but still some redness which im sure will improve with time. Still a bit of numbness but been advised by Ian this can last a few weeks sometimes more but will pass. Ian has been fantastic as a patient advisor and been on hand to answer any questions ive had with good advice and fast with response times. Great expreience so far with the BHR team, Ian and Dr. Bisanga so just gotta see out the rest of the process and look forward the end result down the line 😊 Edited February 24, 2023 by Neily_77 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted February 25, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 25, 2023 If I saw you in public I'd never think you'd had a transplant. I'd think you were just one of those guys lucky enough to never lose any hair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dillpickle123 Posted February 26, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted February 26, 2023 Looks great! These belgian docs seem to have one of the best approaches to donor management! My donor looked just like that after a couple weeks as well I also event for unshaven and after like a month it was easy to hide the fade grows back by the third week 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
