25 nearly 26.

oh ok, im 26 but i think ill wait till 30 to see how will i respond to finasteride and minoxidil first

Also I was given a 1 week hair wash kit, and advised to just dab and be very gentle,

I'm now 10 days post op, can I gently massage the loose skin away now? The grafts are now in place 100% right?

@Assemblage23 @shookwun ?

 

[Assemblage23]

Yes you can what were the doctors instructions? You are still bound to be very careful as long as you have some crusts when you take your hat or shirt off for instance. Don't get sun exposure of course. But you can safely remove the crust. You need body lotion and a baby toothbrush.

 

[shookwun]

having crusts after 7-10 days+ indicates poor washing technique.


lol why would you use a tooth brush? @Assemblage23



gently massage the grafts in a circular motion once you have enough shampoo lathered on. They should effortless come off with minimal pressure.

OK thanks, I have been extremely careful probably too careful when washing my hair, I can see the hairs growing around my hairline so all the grafts must be secure, I'll apply some more pressure when washing now

Btw I forgot to ask. Does Dr Cinik offers some sort of warranty on the grafts ? What if they fell after time? Thanks.

 

[spring15]

10 year guarantee

Thanks! I can mention your name in June as referral ? Not sure if it will help you in some way, but you were very helpful.

Sure, Just say Wayne from New Zealand, I think I'm the only Kiwi to go there

2 week post OP update.

Small hairs are growing, got rid of all the crusts & scabs. I look like a full head buzzed from a distance. Though I can see some thinning behind the hairline, quite gutted I had sides from finasteride and had to stop. Anyway here's pics.

Is your loss stabilized before this transplant?

Negative. Unfortunately..

Aren't you afraid of having a gap behind your transplant soon?

Yes, but I'm going to try S5 cream I think, and hope something for maintenance comes out in the next year or 2!

Like I said, I'm quite gutted I had sides from finasteride and had to come off

I'm not hopeful on S5 being our savior, but you might benefit if your loss is slow.

I'm having a similar mindset about future treatment. It would be nice if say you get a transplant now, be a fullhead for at least several years, and then shiseido or tsuji come to our rescue for the rest of our life right? But a voice in me is always reminding me not to make such important life decision based on a treatment that's not there yet.

So much struggling...

After 1 week post fue is perfect fine.

3 weeks post OP.

The hairs have slowly started to shed, demoralising but part of the process

Breakdown of the grafts

10 % 1-hair graft
40 % 2-hair grafts
45 % 3-hair grafts
5 % multiple grafts

Good graft to hair ratio. Should work well in such a small area.
