Regular Member romeo_gent Posted December 30, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 30, 2023 Week 2 update and photos. No discomfort at this point, shedding has not happened. I feel quite positive about my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member romeo_gent Posted December 30, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 30, 2023 Week 4 Updates: Shedding has started at week 3. By week 4, I think >50% of the implanted hairs have shedded, along with some shock loss as well. Honestly, even though I am fully aware of the ugly dugly phase but I still am hit by it, especially looking at the mirror every morning. I also feel itchy with both donor and recipient and started to apply the medicine (TA1% + antibiotic) solutions that Dr provided to me during the surgery trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai people always have a nick name and is more commonly referred to by nick name in day-to-day conversation. A formal name is typically used for formal occasion. As shiba correctly said so.

tonybecool Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Wow, it was a very constructive discussion. You may mention Dr. Ratchathorn Panchaprateep, but the key partner is equally talented in hair transplantation, Dr. Kongkiat Laorwong, also from Thailand. Pay for yourself. Real hurt: I chose Thailand's Absolute Hair Clinic (AHC). My intended physician is Dr. Ratchathorn. She is also the doctor who owns the clinic, and together with Dr. Kongkiat, she takes care of my case closely. Have a Cert ABHRS + ISHRS + WORLD-class FISHRS available. The other, known as Dr. Kongkiat, has the same ability, depending on whether it is convenient to choose between female and male doctors. Reason for choosing: Choose Dr. Ratchathorn too. It is believed that women pay special attention to detail. The main factor is choosing this clinic instead of another. Confident in special Cert standards for a wide range of cases for Thais and foreigners. You're a real professional doctor. My personal opinion is that my hair transplant is not cheap. To be honest, don't be cheap. Seeing a wounded man grow his hair repaired around 2 or his hair not grow is not funny at all. Because the hair in the occipital area is used to grow the missing hair (donor area), each person is not equal. The hairline came out unattractive and unnatural; I still remember how bad it felt before planting. Thin-haired, bald people before. Despite my lack of confidence, I still remember it well. Price: Case FUE 3,800 graph, the price is about 271,000 bath/round, a little hundred, you can see that almost 4,000 graphs. Quite a bit. Treat the whole front and half of the head. I asked if it was worth it. I felt my hair was dense. You don't need to worry about the wind blowing through your hair. P.S. The doctor has additional hair care courses and pays for your expenses (with a discount), such as PRP and cell therapy. High price for Thais, but for foreigners, the currency is higher, and it is considered very cheap. The price and everything in the patient's view have been used before.

Hi tony, guess you use translator... some pointers not exactly clear what do you mean. But, I am guessing you also did a transplant with Dr Bonus. So, I wanted to wish you happy growth. If you can, a few photos or start your own review, would really be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member romeo_gent Posted January 11 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 11 This is my 6th week after operations. I started to feel really itchy with my scalp. Sometimes, I can't help but to scratch it hard. The more I scratch, the more itchy it gets. I wonder if this is normal as I read from others that acnes and itch will start when the new hair is trying to grow..... or.... I need to consult doctor?

The work looks clean. it seems like you are having shock loss in both recipient and donor area ? Since it looks like you had more hairs in the recipient area before the procedure and also the donor looks quite stressed but hopefully it will be healed in the next months...

Regular Member 718S Posted March 2 Regular Member Share Posted March 2 Any update on your hair and your situation? Did you get past the itchiness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member romeo_gent Posted March 11 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 11 I just completed week 12 (3 months) and took some photos. I didn't take many photos in the last 2 months as it is the hibernating period. There is not a lot of growth. Upon checking with Dr, she said that it takes 3 months after shedding for the hair follicles to enter new growth. It means I have to wait 4 months (post operations) to see any real improvement. So far, I notice some improvement compared to week 4 photos. Planted hairs are not 100% shedded off, perhaps some 20% remains. And according to the doctor, some new growth are observed.
