Day 1 After Surgery,

Just removed the bandages from Donor area for anyone interested, extractions very clean, looks like minimal trauma and should heal up just as well as the first procedure!

Update - Day 5 Post Op

Quick update for anyone interested, 5 days post op. Healing up well, everything looking good.. donor area looking better everyday, looking forward to the first wash in a couple days!

Unfortunately been battling a shitty cold since day 2 post op which is annoying, makes sleeping even more uncomfortable! hoping fighting that too doesn't slow down recovery from this.

Day 13 Post Op

Quick update: Day 13 Post op - healing up well and hair is growing back fast. Scabs started coming off day 8 with washing, and were all off by day 11. Last few tough scabs came off where the dried blood areas were all had some hairs in them, but this is normal. It's just shedded shafts stuck to the scabs.

Will be entering full shed now over next few weeks so expect alot of the transplanted hairs to fall out, but native hair is plentyful any way so should grow over it all pretty fast till new ones grow in.

Healing looks to be right on track. Those 800 grafts should make a good difference to your density and make you happy with the final result.

Hey mate, onto the waiting game now, hopefully you get the result you wanted!

Did you contemplate/discuss an unshaven procedure at all out of interest?

Thanks! lets hope

Not really know, I was always willing to shave, plus it makes aftercare so much easier, especially washing your hair, and drying since you can't use a hairdryer for a month!

Month 2 - Post Op Touch Up Transplant

Hi Guys, quick update.

2 months post op now on the touch up transplant, growing back well all round, donor area looks great & fully filled in, no sign of surgery.

Recipient area is coming in slowly now, I think I had more shock loss of native hair there this time, but new hairs are coming through all the time which started around week 3, so looking forward to the next few months.

Right on track. Really looking forward to seeing your final results @theshape1122. Donor is looking good. You’ve got more grafts if you ever need them.

Everything looks good for 2 months. Have you any 12 month pictures so we can see what the final result from the first surgery was and compare it to this surgery once you reach 12 months?

It looks to be filling in now. I’m thinking this will create the density you want and you’ll be happy once it’s grown out.
Donor looks very good at that length.
Thanks for the update.
