aybrgs Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 It is day 16 and I feel most of the people have an almost perfect recovery of their donor area at this point. Mine is still very poor and looks awful. Do you think it was overharvested or just shock loss? I had 3270 grafts on March 11th. Implanted area looks good to me so far.

Regular Member ScottishGuy21 Posted March 28, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 28, 2023 Looks ok to me, I know it’s hard but try not to over think things. At 16 days post op it’s still very early days. Your donor scars are still healing and the area around them is still recovering. For the stage you’re at things look pretty standard.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted March 29, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 29, 2023 @aybrgs it is way too early to stress and personally looking at your post op extraction site it looks normal and well distributed. Even if it is shock loss this is very common but really it takes a long time for everything to heal.

It can take a number of months. Most people get some donor area shock loss. Your donor area actually looks very good for just 16 days.

Regular Member Sunset Dune Posted April 24, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted April 24, 2023 You need to wash your hair everyday for 1 month and finish the special shampoo the clinic gave you.

Regular Member bigmistake Posted May 6, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted May 6, 2023 3,270 grafts for just the front ? Something does not add up. Is it possible to count the extraction holes to see how many grafts were extracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to count the extraction holes to see how many grafts were extracted. 3000 on the front, 125 on each side and 20 on a scar I have on the top to be precise. From what I see on different forums (this one included), it seems to be standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
