and here is the other side, I have to say it is really uncomfortable and am having to take painkillers quite often, the recipient area feels absolutely fine

I had pain in the donor area from fue in the central zone,it was tender (stinging) for a few weeks when putting my head on the pillow especially.Took regular neurofen (anti-inflamms) and it went after 2-3 weeks.aloe vera helps cool it a little.

Everything looks fine ,the donor will slowly get less sensitive over coming weeks.As we all know the small cuts near surface of skin where the nerves sit are much more painful than deep cuts especially a 1000 of them close together!.

Looking right where you should be,as for the pain T.C. is correct and it will subside.

Your head will feel tight as the skin repairs itself in your donor area.

just started noticing some shock-loss around the recipient area, doesnt seem too bad, but will be glad when my hair has grown back properly, and hope the shockloss isnt permanent

also notice alot of "white dots" looks like scabs all over the recipient area, also think i might have lost afew grafts, noticed afew in the bath which were the same length as the transplanted hair with a long white sheaf at the end

I dont think you will be loosing any grafts as they are deeper in the skin and they are safely trapped under your skin within a 3/4 days.The shed hairs can have skin or scabs attached and I also noticed this when washing hair.

hi guys,

here is my one month update. Its been quite difficult in the last two weeks, as I have been going through the shedding phase. As you can see from the pics, I lookmore bald than I started out. I knew this was probably gonna happen, but kinda hoped it wouldnt. What happens now?c;;9
