restart2008 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi everybody i have uploaded the pics of my surgery with Dr.Rahal. You can see them on my Photo Album or my Hairloss Blog I am 24 years old and live in Germany. At the age of 20 i had my first surgery. It was in Germany and they cut out Punch Grafts from my Donor. The density of the result was very bad. In December 2006 I had another surgery 1400 grafts in turkey. It was better than in germany, but the density still didn`t make me happy. So i finally decided to go to one of the top class surgeons, and after seeing many good results i chose Dr.Rahal. The surgery went very well, 2500 Grafts were transplanted in about 7 hours. I think this time it looks pretty good and I hope the results will make me happy. I am also using Propecia and Regaine to fight further hairloss. Dr.Rahal told me that i have enough hairs for another surgery because the density of my donor hair is very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 restart, It looks like you still have a great number of scabs at this point. Be sure to follow your physician's postoperative instructions to remove the scabs. At 17 days postop, the grafts are firmly in place. Very soon they will start to shed and then the waiting game is on. Best wishes for restoring your hair. I look forward to following your progress. Best wishes and Happy New Year!

Guest josh - b Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 restart, congratulations. Dr rahals work is always impressive and this is no exception. do u know what density u got? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NervousNelly Posted December 31, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted December 31, 2007 The work does look good but I would think that the scabs should start to fall off. As Bill stated, make sure that you are keeping area clean and making an effort to slowly massage recipient area in the shower. NN Dr.Cole,1989. ??graftcount Dr. Ron Shapiro.

Regular Member Dr.Ashfaq Ahamd. Posted January 10, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi Dear....congratulation for restarting ur new year with new hairs. What i advise to my patient.........I usually allow my patient to shampoo his hairs after 48hours.........keep in mind shampoo with the help of a luke warm water through mug(Bowel),The patient are advised not to touch the planted hairs for 10 days in any case however gently rubb with help of pulp of the two figers the donor area during shampooing his hairs to get fine scar. The patient are allowed after 10days to take direct shower on the planted hairs and to rubb it gently again with the pulp of two fingers but in round dirction thats may be clock wise or anti clock wise. Its strictly advised that there should be scab after 17 days..as it may result in infection. To soften the scab.....Olive oil may be used for an hour before taking shower. Theffnext thing which is very important for u that there should be no dandrup for the 6 months........and if any please use anti dandruff shampoo. Again there may be pimple in your palnted area....wheich is usually 1% of the total transpalnted grafts.This is quite normal,this is not an indication of infection .Just clean it with alcohol swab..........nothing more. One thing more that ur area ll be num for some time.Its normal.The sensation came back @ 1mm/day . if u have any question,dont hesitate,plz ask.
