My procedure was with Dr. Hasson. I suspect I was about a Norwood 4, with a fair amount of thinning existing hair in front. Much of my original hair has grown back now. My hair is very light (blond/red). I think I am beginning to feel some stubs among the existing hair, but I suppose it's too...

Anyone help me out with your experience regarding when the initial growth started? I'm not sure mine has started yet and it'd be great to hear how obvious that was for people. Thanks!

Hey folks. I've read a lot about how hair growth after surgery will start around the 3rd month. I'm currently a little over 3 months after my surgery, and I'm not sure what to expect in the coming weeks. I've heard others talk about seeing thin whitish hairs sprouting. I may be feeling some...

Ack! I had never heard that Nizoral wasn't recommended after a transplant. I'm 3 months post op and have been using a couple times a week for the past 3 weeks or so. I had just though it would be good for my scalp. But this post has me of course concerned! How is it too strong? Have I put...

You've got my sympathy too buddy. The first couple weeks were definitely not fun for me either. I just really didn't leave the house much and when I did, I sported a rocker bandana (a competely different persona for me for sure). But once the sutures come out, you can trim your hair all down...

Thanks for the information. That's very interesting. I'm 12 weeks post-op, and of course don't want to stretch my scar, so avoid any movement where I feel tension pulling on the tightness of my head. But I suppose I'm wondering if I would know if any movement was too severe or some type of...

Is it obvious if you've stretched the scar, or is it something you would have to see visually and compare to how the scar was before? After 12 weeks, I feel some tightness on my head but I never let it pull too much. Would I be able to feel if somehow there were enough tension or pull to...

It gets a lot better after the first 10 days or so. I had some puffiness around my eyes from swelling and generally felt crappy for a few days, and my head was rather uncomfortable until the staples were taken out. But then after that I was able to be in public with a hat no problem. But that...

After my procedure, the doctor gave me both a very loose trucker style hat and a bandana to wear home. I wore the bandana for the first week, because it was the most comfortable and it could puff up above the grafts. (plus it gave me and excuse to wear that rocker look in public..hehe). When...

It's been six weeks since my hair transplant procedure with Dr. Hasson, and it's definitely true what you all have seen saying how this is the hardest part. I'm concerned because my sutured area is still quite achey and I still have the same amount of numbness in both my donor and recipient area. I know...

I'm 3 weeks post-op from Dr. Hasson, and their instructions were rather specific about using medium pressure to get all scabs and crusts off by the 10th day. I started gently rubbing with vitamin E about day 8, and all my scabs and crusts were gone about Day 9. A very few hairs came out with...

Thanks for the replies and information. I think I'm feeling more on the mend today which is great. I get my staples out tomorrow, and I'm hoping that will help some of the sharp pinching that I think is from the metal sticking into my head (at least I hope it is). Regarding Graftcyte, I asked...

Hi folks, This is my first post, but I've been reading these forums for weeks, and especially in the last week after my hair transplant surgery with Dr. Hasson last monday for 3,764 grafts. I'm now 8 days in and it's very helpful to get the advice for post-op and expectations, thank you very much for your...
