    no crusting...8th day post-op

    Hey Everyone, Hope all is well. Yes, it has officially been 3 months and to tell you the truth, I have actually not seen much difference. I know about a month after surgery I had this feeling that I have actually lost more hair. I went to my barber 2 days ago and he said he doesnt see...

    dermatch and suture line

    suture line on back of head...

    well, eye liner did the trick but since dermatch is recommended for concealing scalp, i ordered it. $30 and should last 8 months...not bad Im not even using that much so it will probably last longer...im just going to use it to cover suture line for a few months until hair grows long enough...

    suture line on back of head...

    Just got back from Doctor. The hairs did not go into shock loss. He admitted shaving ONE side to much when he lifted my hair, therefore there is a very small bald spot on one side of the head (end of the suture line...right below it). I have to wait for my hair to grow long enough again to...

    suture line on back of head...

    Does hair grow around the suture line after 3 months? My hair in the back is kind of short...not really long so currently it looks like a "hat line" since I had my surgery 13 days ago...I get stitches out tomorrow but looking in the mirror, my hair falls over my line just enough to cover it but...

    no crusting...8th day post-op

    Thank you for checking up on me!!! Everything looks good now. All crusts are gone. About 1-2cm behind my hairline (which is where doctor started), you can see very small amount of redness around the grafts but its not very visible. I only notice it because I know Ive had a transplant. Looking...

    no crusting...8th day post-op

    Yes, I still have scabs. Doctor told me to wait until 3rd day to start washing hair. I told him before that I started washing NEXT day. He said no, with me, start 3rd day. Yes i still have scabs. Today i let the shower hit my head directly. Im going to be a bit more rigorous from now until...

    swelling

    Hi, Thanks for your response. I went to see my doctor yesterday for a follow up. I admit, I did not sleep at an angle for the first few days and even again last night. This is just difficult for me to do. The only swelling that exists now are the bags under my eyes which he saw yesterday. He...

    Does having a hair transplant affect your personal life?
