Chrisis' 2650(ish) FUE with Dr Feriduni

[chrisis]

New growth at 8 weeks!



I hope that pic is clear enough to show the hairs.

[Jairus]

Excellent!!

Not normal to see hairs poppin thru at 2 months is it?

Either way its great

[JJacobs152]

Chris, just awesome, but just curious - don't you think that the 6 week pictures the growth seems more uniform and progressing well...but at 8 weeks, it seems like you lost a lot of that growth, and have small sprouts...

I'm not quite sure. I have been supplementing quite heavily and am a fast grower, so maybe that explains it?

I don't believe the hair in the recipient area at 6 weeks was growth, it was only the transplanted units that hadn't fallen out. The side of my head I sleep on is a lot sparser than the other side so I think all of this is normal!

[JJacobs152]

makes sense. at 8 weeks since your surgery, is it noticeable to the general public that you had a transplant done?

[chrisis]

I go out in a cap just because I feel more comfortable, but I don't think it's obvious now. I have been using toppik to add density to the front which really helps.

I've actually pulled twice in the last few weeks, so can't be too bad haha

Hey Chris.

Thanks for the update. Your hair looks good so far.

[Smokemeakipper]

Looks really good. Bet your chuffed its all done and just waiting to grow. Out of interest the 2 month point would be when I would go back to work if I went for a HT. So do you think you could realistically go out in the open or are you still quite red? If you shaved your hair right down again could you get away with it?

I work for the emergency services in a heavy male environment when the p**s taking and banter is high on a normal day, therefore if there was any indication I'd had a HT I would never live it down.

Does a little bit of make up foundation cover the redness?

Cheers chrisis

[Smokemeakipper]

Also chrisis have you been using the regaine in the front regional of your head or just back? Does it work on the front for you. I've heard mixed reviews?

Hi smokemeakipper (why do I think of your name to the song 'cry me a river'?)

At the 2 month point it's still a little bit pink, but to be honest I've stopped using aloe vera over the past few weeks. If you applied that every day, you might be in a much better position. You could probably shave it down, and foundation might help if you're desperate, although you will need to be very careful not to make it look worse!

I used the minox on the front and had some success making my hairline more full. I started using it on the crown at my doctor's advice. I'd recommend giving it a go!

Cheers Chrisis, I think I'd be safer taking 3 months off then in that case. I'll be interested to hear how you are in another two weeks.

I'll give the regaine a go then, was just worried about the shock loss stories you hear before it starts working.

With what you said about your Dr recommending you started using it on your crown. You see I like to think that if I got a Ht then that would be it done and sorted, and i wouldnt need to worry about it anymore. But it maybe isn't that simple, is that normally the case from what you've found out in your research? That its still an ongoing process for your existing hair? Obviously everyone's different so suppose you never know if your hairs stablised after the Ht or whether its going to continue to thin behind the new hairs.

Then iether require another Ht in 5 or 10 years time when the rest if your hair thins. But i suppose I'd be happy getting at least another 5 or 10 years out of the Ht and delaying the shaving off point to well your older and settled.

Good luck with the next few weeks

Hey Chris

Mine is now over 5 months and is still a little pink even though at this point its only myself who can tell because i know its there.

[chrisis]

Posting this for Smokemeakipper and JJacobs152, to give an idea of how I look at Day 60.



Still going to be relying on this hipster Eagles cap for awhile yet.

[JJacobs152]

thanks for the pics mang...yeah, at those recent pics you can really see some damn good progress, especially from that point of view. at this rate, you're surgery is going to be phenomenal at the one year mark

can you take an aerial photo and a few angles from the side, please? thanks bud!

after my exam, going to start hustling ways to come up with $10,000 to afford a good FUE procedure.

[chrisis]

I was planning on a 90 day/ 3 month comprehensive update for my blog if it can wait until then?

Dare not ask what your hustling will involve haha
