Senior Member Shadman Posted May 7, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted May 7, 2023 I’m sorry to hear that. Didn't you rub the scab gently or it was bit pressurized ? But what I would say that don’t think much about that particular graft. Overall you’ll have a great result hopefully.

Regular Member GeneralNorwood Posted May 7, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted May 7, 2023 (edited) Doesn't look like whole graft to me, rather like broken hair, but picture is not in high resolution. It is unlikely that graft would come out after 7 days. Graft looks like this. There is bulb at the end and it's definitely thicker then rest of the hair. Regarding the bleeding after the wash, i had it too, it is because of scab removal, nothing to worry about.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted May 8, 2023 Administrators Share Posted May 8, 2023 It’s possible you lost that graft. But the good news is, it won’t make a difference once it all grows out. I lost a graft before on the drive home. Bumped my head and started bleeding. But it made no difference in the end. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Thanks Melvin. I can’t even imagine what that moment was like for you! The missing graft area is all healed up now and I think it’s going to be fine. I’m sad to see one frontal graft go. It was an awful sensation to feel it come out. I thought it would be ok to rub the scabs with a little bit of pressure but nope! Not I’m being extra gentle with my scalp.

Regular Member readyforresults Posted May 20, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 20, 2023 Thank you everyone for reassuring me and giving me such helpful information! I thought I would update everyone. I am at 21 days post surgery. Still no pain or discomfort and only minimal itching. My scalp is in the flakey stage and it seems like I’m entering the shed (I’m seeing some hairs left in my pillow in the morning). It’ll all be over soon, right? how is it all looking from your vantage point? Can I hope for good coverage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Shadman Posted May 20, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted May 20, 2023 @readyforresults everything is looking on point at the 21 days mark. With time you’ll definitely get the desired coverage. Moreover, it seems like your donor has improved quite a lot within the 21 days.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted May 20, 2023 Administrators Share Posted May 20, 2023 Shedding has started. Be prepared to look super bald. The ugly duckling phase sucks.

Regular Member Capelli21 Posted June 19, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 19, 2023 Such a fantastic write-up. Im sorry your partner got sick, Indian food is delicious but can be tough on the stomach of a westerner. Glad you got to see their hospitality first hand. Keep your mind occupied on other things for a few more months, but know that a major transformation is just around the corner for you! 1 EUGENIX / DR DAS / NORWOOD 6 / 6005+2203 = 8208 TOTAL GRAFTS / JULY 2022, JUNE 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member readyforresults Posted June 22, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 22, 2023 (edited) Update time: it’s been 2 months post-op and the numbness is finally gone in the recipient area. The itching from the donor kicked up and then subsided in the past couple weeks. I haven’t had as much shedding as I expected or maybe I was expecting to be a a horrifying, patchy, bald mess. My recipient areas have a lot of graft growth still. This is especially true for my crown which has surprised me! Also, get a load of my donor area. It looks almost untouched!!! On a side note, I’ve been using a product given to me by Dr. Bansal for a dandruff condition I’ve had my whole life. I’ve tried EVERYTHING out there that I could get my hands on and this was the first time I’ve had any success. Dr. Bansal assured me this would work and I rolled my eyes because I’ve heard that same line so many times before. I would say 90% of the dandruff is gone and has stayed gone. I just want to express my gratitude for this extra bit of care that has made a huge difference in my scalp health!

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 22, 2023 Administrators Share Posted June 22, 2023 All things considered, this is a very mild ugly duckling phase. Your donor looks exceptional.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted June 23, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted June 23, 2023 For two months post op you have a lot of hair still in the recipient! Everything seems to have bounced back. Keep your eye on the prize and just remember patience is key.

Im usually the guy that has all the problems and doesn’t heal well or quickly but I attribute my quick recovery to the quality work of Eugenix/Dr. Bansal. I have my sights set on Thanksgiving-time (late November) here in the US for when I start evaluating progress. Now it’s just the boring middle for me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member readyforresults Posted July 27, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 27, 2023 I’m at 3 months and seeing a lot of growth. I need to give myself another haircut on the sides but I like what the top is doing. Still on Fin 1mg, biotin and Saw Palmetto. Earlier this month, Dr. Sethi was in town for consultations and reached out to patients for a get together. It was fun to meet him and other folks I’ve connected with here on the forums!
