Procedure 2

6 Months, 3 weeks Hi All,Here are my results from procedure #2 at just under 7 months. Overall very pleased, the results on the right side are more noticeable than the left because I told the doc to focus on that side (I had thinner hair there). As far as the scar repair in the back, Dr. K did a great job filling it in, but for some reason the hair is growing in darker than the surrounding hair. Not perfectly seemless, but still better than previously. I've also included a picture of the scars under my chin that I had him try to fill in.I think I am close to fill growth, maybe another few months will thicken up some of the hairs but overall they look strong. PS. I had just cut my hair so ignore the little clippings on my forehead.

Procedure 2

3.5 Months Here is 14 weeks, I slacked a little sorry for being late. Everything still seems to be coming in as expected. You will see some hairs going in strange directions and some wispy hairs poking through my slicked back hair, these are the grafts. From my experience, as the hair grows they will thicken up and cooperate more with the direction the rest of the hair wants to go so this is not surprise to me.As for the repair of the incision on the back, with my hair at its current length (maybe a 4 clip) it is pretty unnoticable except for some irregular densities here and there and the existing change in grain before and after the scar. I'm not complaining, I think it looks good so far, it's just not yet as if it's not even there if you look hard. At this length nobody would notice.And then the FUE donor scars: at this length, you cant see them at all. I will trim it a little shorter next time and see if anything is visible, but I would be surprised if the little holes are very noticeable at all.Moral of the story, everything is good and I'm looking forward to the next 3 months or so as the hairs get longer and more dense, I'll keep you guys updated.

Procedure 2

2 Months Here is two months. This is kinda the stage where most hairs have fallen out or are very thin, before they recycle and get thicker (so I believe and recall from last time). So the pics aren't super exciting, but should be a good baseline for what happens over the next 4 months. The scar revision in the back is still pink and pretty obvious at this length, I cut it too short the other day.

Procedure 2

Day 16, day 11 scar Here's about two weeks out. Still some pink in the recip. area in the front. The scar is even more pink because I'm only 11 days out. Beard hairs are growing in like 5x faster than the rest, I dont even know where he put in the ones on the right side of my jaw anymore because it's seamless and perfectly healed. I was doing neosporin on the scar grafts up until now but I'm just gonna go to rogaine on both areas and call it a day.

Procedure 2

1 Month, 25 days scar Here are the 1 month pics. Still some pinkness, I think a lot of the grafts have fallen out and there are little saplings starting to grow, although I can tell that some original "little engine that could" grafts are still growing... go little suckers!Donor area has pink shotgun wounds that I doubt anyone really notices, I put some makeup on my scar when I go out because the pinkness makes it pretty obvious and I have been keeping the donor area pretty short to fade in to the longer hair.

Procedure 2

Day 2 Not much has changed, still very very minimal swelling. All the stubbies are in place and not bleeding. Back is the same too. Just spraying the grafts and sticking to doctors rules exactly.

Procedure 2

Day 6, day 1 of scar revisions Here are the results from day 6. The donor scars are already fading away from the hairline procedure. Yesterday I had him harvest a new section to fill in my old donor scar and also harvest some beard hair to repair some scars on my chin and jaw from childhood shenanigans. No complaints whatsoever so far. The repair work is pretty red but I am only like 30 hours out so thats to be expected.

Procedure 2

Day 7, day 2 scar revisions Not too much to say here, just keeping everything clean and lubed. Looking forward to shampooing the front gently tomorrow although I still cant do much to the back because I'm only on day 2 there.

Procedure 2

Day 12, day 7 scar revisions I went in today for my last checkup, all is well. They put some hydrocortisone cream on the scar revision to help with the itchyness (I have had a LOT) and reduce the redness too. I'll take some more tonight probably after I wash it off. Anyway, this is with my hair styled with the shaving they had to do on the sides and a little comb over the grafts up front. I have some skills with clippers so I was able to blend a little bit.

Procedure 2

Night before surgery, wet and styled Here are some before images for surgery #2. This is about 6 years out from my first suregery, just wanted to add more density so I have more freedom to style differently. As you can tell Dr. K did an amazing job, which is why I went back! I'm also going in 4 days post to get my scar filled in.

Procedure 2

Night after surgery Let me just say that the surgery went impeccably. Dr K and his staff are amazing. They were constantly asking me if I needed a drink, snacks, a break, or to shift at all if I was uncomfortable. The whole team works like a well oiled machine and Dr. K's confidence and expertise put me at ease right away.NOTE: Dr. K strongly advised for me to let him shave my whole head. It is probably the way to go so he has full visibility and access to your zone. If you can deal with it, shaving is gonna be the best idea.These pics are from right when I got home.
