Folica's 3 day post surgery, 2660 grafts.

Folica,

Not that I want to scare you...but...why does it look like all the grafts are missing in this picture? I'm not sure if your hair is just very light or the picture quality is poor...but whereas it seems most of the scabs are gone...I also don't see any grafts.

Let me know.

Falc

Hi Falc

I think it may be the hair color.. We are used to looking at our dark stubble

Falc,
I replaced that pic with this new one. The first was taken with a flash & it appeared the scabs were gone but that was not the case. It was just a bad pic.
Also I can feel the stubble of all the hair & Jobi is correct that I have a lot of white hair where the grafts came from. I will be dying it when it all grows in. : )
But everything is looking great & feeling good!
Dr. Alexander did some really clean work on me & I am thrilled!

folica,

Much better picture my friend . Now I can see what really is going on...looks normal for 3 days

Falc

Thnaks falc,
It's really exciting to see that hairline that I haven't had for over 15 years!

Right after I sent you the pm, i found your blog with the pics. It looks a little red, but it will diminish in the next few days.

I'm very glad to hear you are happy with your surgery. If you're confident in the doctor and staff, and the placment of your grafts, you will be happy with the results a year from now. Now, try not to get alarmed at the 2,3, or 4 months when you start getting anxious for the hairs to grow. Stress in any form is not good for your body or mind (and follicles).

Thanks for posting your pics. Best of luck!

Yup,

Welcome on board to the waiting train. in the 6 month cart we have Falc, 1 .5 month cart me, Jobi and you my friend are in the caboose ( no idea how the hell to spell that)

Anyway, be prepared for a host of emotions as Falc & I have been through it 3 times..

Beeee Paaaaatient

Congratulations folica, looks like a nice job and a neat hair-line...should look really good in a few months, good luck.

Looks good Folica!!!

Are you planning to do another session to hit behind where you were transplanted?

It will get tough during the first 1-5 months, so hang in there buddy!!!!!

We'll be here for ya'!!

Wow! I went to work today ( only 4 days post ) & came home to all of these great post! : )
Janna, You said It just right! " If you're confident in the doctor and staff, and the placment of your grafts, you will be happy with the results a year from now. " I am so confident that I have no doubt that I will be happy with the results!
I promise not to stress during the bleak months... : )

Jobi, Yeah I am the caboose ( i'll go with your spelling !) on the Hair train! It's not to bad to be the caboose since I can learn from cars in front of me... : )
3 times, you guys are my heroes!

slaphead, Thanks for the comments, I am very happy to see this hairline, I think it will work out great too, Many Thanks!

B my friend, Thanks man! Yes, session 2 will probably be in 8 to 12 months. ( I have 18 months to pay for this one, no interest! ) I still can't believe I finally did it, but not without you guys, you are all an inspiration & I couldn't be happier! No regrets or buyers remorse...I knew what I was buying. : )

congrats Folica,

I like your hairline design looks nice and dense(do your know what your zone 1 denisty is...looks very good). I really like the post op pics I have seen from Dr.Alexander.

good growth and enjoy having a hairline again...well (in 8months or so...be patient its worth it).

Congrats folica!

Looks like outstanding work, you will be thrilled in a few months!
Did you conceal your HT for work??

Bay, Thanks man! I think your Ht is coming along great!
Gorpy who is the Forums Official Hair Density Estimator, say's from the hair count's I provided him, it appears to be about 45 cm2 @ the hairline & 40 cm2 behind.
Dr. Alexander gave me what I was looking for in a hairline & packing. When I see those pics, I get happy!

Thanks No buzz! I am happy with the work as I can't help to keep saying.
I am a self employed contractor & have been wearing a freakin ball cap for 15 years! So it was no problem,
I appeared the way everyone is used to seeing me, with my damn ball cap! Man I am sick of wearing one!
I hope to be out from under it in time...Cheers!

folica,

I'm sure it will feel REALLY nice to be rid of the hat. I actually do still love hats, but haven't been wearing one for about a month now (give or take a rare occasion) as I've been going out. It's freeing really...heal well bro.

Falc

Falc, I do like how I look in hats too, so I know what you mean. I don't think I will give them up all together. It's hard to say... after 15 years of wearing one it becomes a part of your image. In my work & social life.
I was wondering how many years my transplant will take me back to...maybe my 35 year old hairline? It will be interesting.
I am really starting to feel the fuzz growing now. I won't get to attached to it. : (
Healing Nicely!
Thanks for your comments brother!

I just noticed I became a Guru just 4 days after my HT. In the Karma scale a Guru is right in the middle of a new real club member & Celestial member ( falceros status 2,000 post! )
So it took me about 200 post before I got my first Ht.
Do you think that was enough research?
I do! LOL!

Congrats again Folica! It looks very similar to my first procedure with Alexander. On people like us he likes to attack an area with dense packing and then move on to the next area and dense pack it. My first HT he approached myself in the same way, by dense packing the front 1/3. It looked great after about 6-7 months but it also made my thin area behind it even look worse(hair greed damnit!) So I went back for my second HT with him and he did the same dense packing to my midscalp area to crown. And now that looks great and am very happy with it but once again that hair greed is kicking in and now I focus on my bald crown! lol. That's ok, my scalp was pretty tight after my last HT so I am taking off more time in between HT's this time, will probably get one of those cool Scalp massagers and most likely will look into going back next spring to fill in my crown somewhat.

folica,

You forgot salvation club member . That's before Celestial...but keep it up bro and you'll get there...lol.

Falc

Tker, I was just looking at your blog pics again. I will be happy to get you have now! You ahve come a long way my friend!
It looks as though I will be on the same program as you as far as follow up surgeries go. I can understand the hair greed thing!
Thanks for sharing your Ht sucess story with Alexander the Great!
I couldn't help that...hehe.

LOL falc, I have a long ways to go!
