And the photo below, is my 1st "successful" macro-photo from the same area:

Day-1

She tried her best with photo "Day-0" and for an "by-fly photo", not even that bad. I think at least better than no before photo.

Excellent picture! It will be very easy to document such a case.

I will independently monitor and analyse this same area and share my results.

Excellent photos Ironman - if you fully document your procedure photographically this is going to be hugely important, as important as the work you did with gc83uk.

Excellent pictures looking forward to seeing the end result and verification of regeneration.

Do you have pictures of the recipent area and how many hairs per graft were achieved. Maybe a run down on the numbers if possible.

Basically, I have everything in my camera and a hell of photos were already taken from every angle/position. Sure, I will try my best with photos, but what's important NOW is to TAKE further enough high quality photos at all - at least the coming 14 days or so. Sorting them (good quality vs. bad quality) and including documenting them, I can do this thereafter.

Okay, it's time for a new photo session - namely, Day-2 ...

Guys, I’m not really sure whether or not I should ever show a photo where you can see ALL my strip scars at a glance.
Reason: I myself freak always completely out as soon I see the photo …
Sometimes I think that not even a “natural accident” is able to create such idiotic scars.

Looking good IronMan, the extractions look super neat and clean.

So weird to see photos of iron_man after reading so many threads with him. Good luck mate.

GC, c5000 and iron_man have had far neater extractions than me. interesting. I can see why...

My hairs are all pointing in different directions. I think im a freak!

For taking the photos - yes. But "clean" for better healing?

Since Day-0 in the clinic, I did absolutely nothing; neither in the donor area, nor in the recipient area, because I have a problem:

Due to the ~10 test-grafts into 1 of my old strip-scars, I couldn't "wash" carefully the donor area yesterday (Day-1) as suggested in the instructions. Carefully cleaning somewhat the implanted hairs with just warm water in the shower (and just with very low water-pressure and without touching the grafts with the fingers!) is suggested on Day-2 = today. So the Day-2 photos show still the completely uncleaned head.

Ok, NOW I'm going to take the 1st head shower ...

[534623]

Nope - not at all. Check carefully the structure and/or follicular unit configurations in my photos again - and THEN tell me, what YOU can see.

I'm curious ...

My extractions seemed to be causing the original technician a problem and they seem to have taken extractions from quite high up in my donor, I thought they would just take them from the "safe zone".

You hairs are alot finer than mine, and generally pointing in the same direction

WOW, they'll look even cleaner once you've rinsed the back of your head, that's amazing!!

Did the technicians comment on how easy the extractions were and how little you were bleeding?

Really happy that it's going well for you mate, you and Gaz (gc83uk) raised so much awareness of HST and if it wasn't for your documenting his donor, I might not have got my HST.

So all the best mate.

Yea same for me. Hmmmm. They did pick areas where the hairs are strong though.

Oh, by the way ...

Guess what - I had since the procedure a 2nd problem; namely, until now, and due to these few test-grafts into the scar, I couldn't sleep so far neither on my back, nor on my stomach - in addition!

So I decided to sleep just a few hours on my butt ...
