Nice...actually your hair thickness is looking good so i guess you will get good coverage ....mostly people fly back in a day or two bt there are few clinics who are providing post operative care like 3-4 days of head washing and LLLT so patient gets better healing and dont form too many scabs...so talk to your clinic and ask them Check Out My Hair Transplant Journey --> My Thread 3611 FUE Grafts With Dr Kongkiat Laorwong | Norwood 5 | 2nd May 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted March 19, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 19, 2023 Itchiness is normal for some people. You just have to ignore it. Try spraying saline. You can maybe use very light taps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted March 19, 2023 Moderators Share Posted March 19, 2023 You can put Aquaphor on the donor area. It helps healing and it reduces the tingling, itchiness. It works for me. You should be able to get it at any pharmacy, at least in the USA anyway. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted April 3, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted April 3, 2023 @Rock92 you will have even less growth over the coming month. It looks perfect to me. As much as this plays with our minds there really is no point letting the ugly dick live rent free in your head. You can't give a true estimate of what's going on even after 6 months.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted April 3, 2023 Moderators Share Posted April 3, 2023 It started shedding. That's why it looks thin in some spots. Most of it will probably fall out very soon. It starts growing in again after a few months. It's all normal. Unfortunately it has to look worse before it looks better. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Regular Member Otis james Posted April 17, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 17, 2023 From my limited knowledge, it looks normal. I’m sue for surgery next year. I do wonder if putting a hat on and just forgetting about it for 3-4 months is the way to go! Obsessing at such an early stage had to be the most unnecessary stress…??

Yeh you are back to where you started ...you will start noticing baby hair sprouting around 2.5-3 months post op...and you will start seeing proper growth after 4-5 months post op...so its a waiting game and this stage is the toughest so i wud advice you not to look at the scalp or think abt it too much and let the hairs grow(i cn understand its tough to avoid it)...and i hope you are on medication ...
