Regular Member RobsHair16 Posted December 7, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 7, 2023 Two Month Update So its been two Months since my surgery, I don't know about others but It feels like a lifetime ago now and arguably surreal that I ever had the procedure in the first place however each day in the mirror is a pleasant reminder that I did. As you can see from the photos below, its early days but can already see a huge improvement on my pre transplant position. I did have a fair bit of shedding from week 4 -6 but slowed down and I'm confident I have retained quite a few of my transplanted hairs. I'm also pleased to report my donor seems to be recovering well and have little to no discomfort now in my donor area. Hoping the growth I've seen so far continues Pre Transplant photo 2 Month Photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Cooper48 Posted January 5 Regular Member Share Posted January 5 Hi @dinothet. I can only make a recommendation based on experience and partial result because I am only 3.5 months out. At this point though, I am completely satisfied with the experience. Dr. Laorwong and staff were excellent to work with. Dr. L takes his time to evaluate and does most of the work himself. The follow-up care is really nice and I think the included PRP helps speed up the growth. In terms of results, I cannot fully evaluate. I am seeing significant growth this month and have started to recover from the shock loss so I am thrilled with where I am at at this point in the process. I can already style my hair in a way that you wouldn't have any idea that I have had a transplant and my hair looks so much better! Based on looking at all the reviews and before and after photos from dozens of cases and my own experience, I think Dr Laorwong provides a level of skill that gives any patient the odds of having a great outcome as any top level Dr. I do believe there is always a risk of things not working out (personal reactions to the process such as infections) but Dr. L knows what he is doing so the chance of it being a dr problem is relatively low here. Hope this helps. My journey.

Regular Member RobsHair16 Posted January 5 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 5 3 Month Update So it’s been 3 months since procedure day safe to say I’m already amazed by the results, my donor has recovered perfectly and I have no discomfort anywhere. I’m fairly confident I didn’t lose that much hair during the shedding phase as I have a lot of hairs that have what Il describe as tip which you can see is the hair growth before it was transplanted. I still have a long way to go and it’s early days but I haven’t found the ugly ducking phase anywhere near as painful as I thought. Meds I’m on btw are Vitamin D, Magnesium, Saw palmetto and biotin. Will keep updating each month but happy to answer any questions if I can help 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Chka Posted January 26 Regular Member Share Posted January 26 I had mine done on Monday, I feel tight on the scalp and donor areas and get tingly feeling around hairline, is this normal? Also my top jaw has gone funny soft can't bite, will that be to do with the swelling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi chka, your donor and scalp will feel tight for some time, especially as it starts to heal and scab over your scalp will feel particularly tight but rest assured it improves and once you around a month it is minimal, just ensure to apply your foam and leave it soaking for some time for relief. If you have allowed the swelling to spread by not wearing the headband you could have discomfort as far as under your eyes but couldn’t comment too much on this as it didn’t go near my jaw. I would say your face feels very strange for the first few weeks but quickly improves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member RobsHair16 Posted March 11 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 11 (edited) Month 5 Update Sorry for the lack of month 4, in truth didn't feel much different to month 3 but now starting to really see some growth and honestly really happy with the progress its making. The crown like most is slower but the front is starting to fill in and can see and feel lots of new hairs popping up most days. Obviously the closer you get the more patchy it looks but from afar I'm really happy, I even tested a relatively low grade on the back and yeah you can notice if you are looking at it closely it is slightly patchy on the donor area but nothing I worry about and nothing I think most would notice. Photos below, happy to answer any questions Edited March 11 by RobsHair16 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
