past present and the beckoning future!! updated pics!!

Don,

Thanks for posting the photos. Well done. I noticed that some of your old grafts are outside of the new hairline area, in front of the new grafts. What are your plans for these old grafts?

hi jo...first of all..thxs for takin the time to reviewing my pics.. comin to your question...i had the same concern about it but dr rahal decided best was to not lower the hairline too low..as i am only 26 yrs ol nw...n conseidering my future loss..he decided instead to fill some gaps in between with some single hairs..also he stated that once the hair fills in..it will b barely noticeable..

of course in about 5 yrs...if i dnt have any harsh future loss courtesy of finasteride..then he will lower my temple area for free...pretty kool yeah!!..

Don,

Sounds like a solid plan. My best wishes for your recovery. Been there, done that, so I know you are excited. Just remember, you'll be hitting peaks and valleys with how you perceive your progress. Just stay the course and before you know it you'll see your final results.

hi jo..thxs for the wishes...infact m alreadyhittin te highs n lows on my progress...starin at my new planted hairs for hourss n tryin to inspect them one by one..lols..sounds crazy i know..!!

ane one more..all i hope is i dnt loose any more hairs so i can go ahead with my solid plan..

do ya have any suggestion for the donor area to minimise the scar n heal faster?? any cream or dat sorta stuff??

thxs..

Suggestions, no not really. We like dry healing but if you must use something try vitamin E oil on the donor scar. That can help relieve some of the redness.

don,

It's been nice talking to you via PM and now I'm glad you were able to get your pictures posted.

Immediately post op pictures look great - nice and normal. Dr. Rahal does excellent work.

Your game plan sounds good also moving forward. Keep us posted on your progress.

don, Congrats! I am about 5 weeks out myself.

The best thing you can do for your donor area is to keep it really clean & free from scabs.

You need to wash it at least twice a day & gently scrub along the suture line with gentle shampoo suds. Rinse with a cup several times.
Your donor area will heal nicely & quickly with this method.
Protect your grafts from the shower head with your hand when you rinse.
Hope this helps if you are not already doing this!

You have tons of growth to come . in 3 months youll wonder why you eveen worried

thnxs grow,

ye i beleive m still at a very early stage...will keep ya'all updated wid more pics soon..

cheers

Don,

As I said in the other thread....you're looking good for only 4 months post op but you have a lot more to come, both new growth and a lot of thickening. You won't even recognize yourself in 6 months

Grow well and keep us posted.

Update??? Wondering how this turned out. Hope all is well!

Yes, also interested. Would love to see the final result.
