DAY 11
My donor is a little tender to the touch, but that is to be expected given it’s my 5th surgery and the amount of scarring I will have. Not a big issue, but I am still using a travel pillow on a night, which I find much more comfortable when sleeping.
I noticed that shedding started on day 9. This is similar to my previous surgeries.

Fingers crossed for you mate, you've been a helpful contributor in the forums.
You're donor looks great in the pre op pics, will you consider SMP at any point to perfect things? Should work well with you hair colour

Thanks @TBH - it means a lot.
Dr Reddy said my donor was one of the best he'd seen for someone with a NW6, so in that respect I am quite lucky.
Yes, will definitely consider SMP, if I need it, or even donor re-stocking using beard grafts. My donor was over harvested and slightly damaged after my fourth surgery with Dr Arshad towards the nape of my neck. In my 5th surgery, Dr Hala purposefully stayed away from this area and another couple of small areas, which had also been over harvested/damaged. I am not too bothered though, as before my last hair transplant, I could shave it down to a grade 6 and it looked fine.

4 WEEK UPDATE
It is now 4 weeks since my surgery. My transplanted hair has continued shedding, but at a much slower rate and I think I must have shed all my transplanted hairs now.
My donor area is quite itchy and I’d look up (for a neck stretch), it’s a little sore still. Having had 5 surgeries, there will be lots of scar tissue there now!
My donor looks worse in the pictures, as it’s a sunny day and the sun is coming through the window. I am not worried about it, as I think once it grows, it will provide decent coverage.
