According to the clinic. I'm just repeating information that was given to me in an email from their representative this afternoon.

Unfortunately I do take offense, as it insinuates that I didn't properly do my research before making a commitment. Please explain this to me. How would a doctor have gotten the same level of density using half the grafts? This is a simple math equation, the number density per square centimeter...

We didn't discuss density per sq cm, Dr. Hasson works by eye to match the recipient density to that of my native hair. According to the clinic he has been known to plant as high as 100 /sq cm I agree it sounded like a lot, but my hair is very very fine, and I trusted the recommendation of the...

Day 15 That brings us up to today. Recipient site is still fairly numb but I slowly regaining feeling. Left side donor is mostly healed, only slightly tender to the touch. Right side is just a bit behind, with a low and dull throbbing. I'm overall really pleased with the work performed. I think...

Day 10 Continued recovery. This was roughly the time that the pain started to reduce to the point that I no longer needed t3's to sleep through the night. However my right side still has a dull throbbing. Pain up to that point had been roughly 6-7/10 depending on time of day and if I had been...

Day 7 95% of the scabs were gone, and swelling had reduced to a level where I could get a better idea of what the new hairline would look like. You can see the lines where day 1 and day 2 meet. I'm hoping that they fill in a bit and the differentiation between the zones isn't apparent forever.

Day 5 To my eye everything looked pretty good. Donor area was basically healed on the left side by this point. This was the first time I washed it myself. Was supplied a shampoo from the clinic.

Day 4 Very minimal scabbing. I didn't take many photos as this was when the pain started to ramp up, so I spent most of the day pretty drugged up.

Day 2 after the returning home. I was given a cream that was reapplied after each wash at their office, but was not given any sort of saline solution spray. The cream kept the recipient site moist for roughly 3 days post op. Because I was pumped full of so many anaesthetic injections the...

Previous hairline for reference. I was told by the Doctor that I had an exceptional donor, and could accommodate upwards of 9000 grafts if it was ever necessary. He also told me that I have a big head, and there was a limit to how low he could bring my hairline down. I appreciated the candor.

Hi All, Finally took the plunge about 2 weeks ago after lots of research and a 6 month Covid delay. I had a trouble finding similar cases to mine, so I thought it would be helpful for folks in the future if I made a timeline. This way I can also force myself to keep better track as well. I'll...
