I was operated in August 2015 end. Now it's been 4 months post surgery. Though not very considerable, but I can see some change now.
I decided not to have haircut. Just trimming the overgrown hairs on the side near ears. This is to understand how long the transplanted hairs will grow. One thing is clear - either you keep trimming all hairs to smaller length so that the difference is not visible as the transplanted hairs grow slower than hairs on other part of the head. Or else you can leave them as they are if you can manage the answers to questions your friends will ask about the difference :). I chose the second option from this month. With second option, the scar is not visible. But you can decide as per your case.
Before surgery, I read somewhere that the transplant pains in very cold weather. But that's not correct. I am in Canada now with extreme weather upto -30 degrees but I can hardly feel it on my transplant.
One more observation is that I still have transplanted hairs. Not all of them had fallen. So they have grown to good length now. I also see many new hairs coming up slowly. They are thicker but still very small. So if I check from top view, I see some patches of baldness. It looks like the first layer of single stranded hairs have not fallen so grown long but the double and triple stranded hairs had fallen so growing slow.
I still have 8 more months to go before I can be happy or I can complain as it takes 1 year to see the full growth.

ReplyDeleteWith the advent of technology, the hair transplant has taken a new shift and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is one such process that is considered as a breakthrough in this field of hair surgery. Technically, FUE is a technique of harvesting “follicular unit” or donor hair in the recipient area which is that part of the head, where the hair transplantation procedure is carried out.
