Well thanks everyone for your well wishes. I am not out of the woods yet as I still have a lot of healing to do but I'm making progress so hopefully it will continue.

Wow this is going to take a while. Tomorrow is 8 week point and the face still looks rough. Did have real good healing this week, really hope I am fortunate enough to have a similar week this week. Funny how it seamingly heals in spurts. Sunday- Friday were great. This Saturday and Sunday not much. Anyhow need to have another 2 or 3 weeks like last week to get to a point where I can feel relieved/safe again.

i dont posy much on here but alot of you may know me from HTN but im snooping arround as i wanted to check out some bisanga results as i want to go with him for my repair following dr armanis incompitance. anyways diffrent story there what i wanted to say is have you checked your diet? a good ''skin'' diet can do wonders for healing speed and your complextion. i know alot about nutrition and i sugest eating plenty of foods with high vitamin c content, along side MSM supliment powder, it can work wonders. a perfect smoothie for your skin would be 5 kiwi fruits a large spoon of ground FLAXSEED for the omega 3 content as its brilliant for the skin. then add the msm powder to the smoothie, its a little bitter but the benifits are worth it.also go for a diet with plenty of quality protien and dont skimp on good fats as good fats from sources such as olive oil will lubricate the skin and help it heal also giving you a good source of vitamin e, dont go out in the sun as that will hinder healing. get plenty of iron in your diet also this will help alot. do a search on google for skin healing foods you will get alot of help. good luck

Blaboa, nice to see that you have found this site. I was banned from the site you mentioned. It was explained to me by the forum moderator that my pro stance on fue was very dangerous in his opinion. The moderator felt it was best for me to move on and no longer post to the site. I can understand his need to control the flow of information to protect his recommended list along with his bottom line, but I do not agree with it. I believe it is very short sighted and morally wrong. Hopefully some of the other posters to that site will also visit other forums to get a clearer view.
I also agree with you about diet and its ability to help speed the healing process. There was a well known dentist that traveled the world and noted the diets of those with the healthiest gums, teeth, hair and skin. The best diets were noted as being very nutrient dense and very specific. His name was Weston A. Price. It might be worth a Google search.

I had 800 beard FUE at BHR yesterday.
So far the extraction sites seem to be healing nicely. See the attached photo showing the progress after approx 30 hours..
Below the chin the extraction sites are similar to what you can see, but they are hidden as they are not facing and are mostly camouflaged with the short existing beard hairs.
I have no real pain other than being 'aware' that something has happened on the back of head where the FUEs have been planted.. and consequently have taken no medication since the op.
Apart from gaining a fat lip after eating a baguette whilst my chin area was numbed and discovering a home-made blood condiment as a sauce.. Advice - only eat soft food when you can't feel sensation in your lip/chin area!

Turbo, looks great you will probably look better then me by the end of the week. Glad they are back to working under the chin and slightly above. Only thing that make sense in my opinion. The stuff out on the face heals super slow or at least in my case. Did you fill in all of you strip scars or are you going to do another session later? Anyhow good luck, looks like you are off to a good start.

Sparky, I m not sure either but those are the words that were expressed to me. It could have been my last reply to Dr. Mohammad (sp) on the economics of fue. Keep in mind it was very respectable and civil. It s possible that Dr. Mohammad s inability to post a rebuttal along with him being on the recommended list possibly made the forum look bad. This was not my intention at all. Only to state my opinion and learn more through intelligent debate.
Sometimes it s just easier for the person that owns the ball to stomp their feet and take the ball home when they don t like the way you are playing.
Turbo, that looks excellent.

All of your posts that I have read have always been respectable.
That website does mainly have docs that can't do fue, and they project the vision that fue doesn't compare to strip, which with both know is BS.
I still think they are better than Armanisite, I mean Hairsite.

But like most of us who have had previous bad experiences, we always like to think that the current op will make the overall look, look ok to the untrained eye and that we will hopefully not require further procedures.

Turbo, I hear ya, hope you get the results you want. Even though I am pretty displeased with the aproach that was taken on the extractions my recepient sites are really encouraging. I have a lot of growth already and I think I am going to get some really good scar coverage. Apparently a lot of beard fues never shed and just grow, dont know if you saw this on your "test".I have so many strip scars that we only addressed about 60% of them. I was hoping to do a second session to finish off the areas we didn't do but now I dont know. I think I would have to experiement with some real small under the chin only extractions, maybe 100 to 200 at a time to see how they heal. Even though I may only have about 30% of my fues growing right now and they are short I believe they already make a difference because your hair naturally "parts" away from scars revealing them. I have enough little beard fues growing in there to tangle the hair up and keep it from just parting if that makes sense.

i got my ip banned to but all you have to do is go through a proxy site and it will mask your ip so you can view whatever you like. i used email generator sites to mask my email address and also used proxy sites to keep re-registering and posting my bad results. i was making the owner of hair-site work his ass off for 4 hours as i wanted to make a point so i kept resubmitting the post under new accounts just copying and pasting it every time. in the end he sent me a threat and said he would sue me if i carried on lol. i got board after a while but wasn't worried about his threats i know i got through to alot of people in that 4 hours and alot of users started posting asking why my posts were being deleted as there was nothing wrong with my honest posts. they knew something was dodgy about it all and i think it put them off the site and Armani more importantly.

Wow wonder what is with all the paranoia on the site you guys are talking about. What's the point of these forums if you cant express your ideas and share your experiences. I wondered if these guys on here would try to shut me down since I have expressed concern about my procedure but I have tried to do it in a way that was fair and not malicious. Also wanted to thank Balboa and Topccat for your diet ideas. I googled and went and bought a few things that everyone seemed to recommend for skin health, walnuts, carrots, etc,, cant hurt stuff that is generally good for you anyhow.

royroy i dont think anyone on here will remove your account this site along with HTN seems very decent and lets people express true events rather than bad results from top docs getting covered up to protect there reputation. so dont worry
i forgot to mention the most important thing that will probably help your skin no end.
Zinc!
Zinc is so important for skin health i cant say enough about the stuff. i suffered from persistent acne as through my teens and into my early 20's and the stuff helped alot
in the USA there is a supplement that's brilliant for skin health its got all the key nutrients to help bad skin and healing. it was actually designed to help acne and acne scaring but its overall got awesome stuff for skin health. i live in the UK and i used to have to import that stuff from the USA but as you live in the USA it will be easy for you and its not expensive so i suggest getting some and talking it dialy.
the stuff is called Futurebiotics AcneAdvance you can get it from vitacost trust me on this one its well worth it just take those along with getting plenty of vitamin c in your diet and youl see an improvment for sure. and its got all the stuff you need in 1 pill so you dont have to buy everything separate. still eat your fruits and veg tho as i always say no multivitamin will substitute the real thing.

royroy,
I started reading this thread and as soon as I saw the photo (post 17) I feared that you would not see any improvement. The extractions looked healed enough that the texture probably wouldn't change. (Although on the basis of that photo it didn't look that unsightly to me - sort of like open pores that some people have naturally).
Were there scabs remaining when you started shaving? I was going to mention that you may, through shaving, have disrupted the scabs and that this had caused the wounds to not close properly. Rather like when a person picks at a zit or chicken pox lesion which then goes on to form a pock mark.
But it sounds like you've seen improvement, which is great.
Out of interest, don't you run the risk of destroying beard hairs with laser resurfacing?
