One month post-op and feeling increasingly like a baby bird. The good news is, swelling and pain has decreased significantly. I now no longer need pain meds to sleep through the night. As you can see, I've lost about 75% of the hairs from the new grafts, as expected at this stage. Redness is almost entirely gone now. Using Vitamin E oil on both the recipient area and the donor scar, every day, while also faithfully taking my propecia. Feel quite self-conscious going anywhere without a baseball cap these days, but I'm used to this from the embarassment over my old hairline, so it's nothing new. Looking forward to the day when I can burn the cap forever. Meantime, it's hurry up and wait...
