Dr Bhatti : 2500 FUE Grafts : 14th Feb 2019

Have a doubt of which couldnt find answer anywhere. It is just advised to sleep with your head elevated above your heart for first 3 days.

After how many days can I sleep normally i.e since my temple triangles are transplanted while tossing and turning they will surely touch the pillow. This can be prevented by using a neck pillow only.
Hence after how many days can I sleep normally without any fear of recipient area rubbing against the pillow.

Dr Bhatti : 2500 FUE Grafts : 14th Feb 2019

So the off days from office are coming to an end on Day 11 i.e 25th Feb 2019 but the evidence of Hair transplant is still very much present. Will have to extend the offs by 3 days and return office on day 14 instead.

Maybe the condition improves . Anyways will be wearing a cap for some days till the condition is better.( Although I work in hotel industry , cap above formals will sure look funny but have to do what I have to do )

Rest Post op blues and staying free at home has caught up with me since past 3 days . The agonizing wait for the next 6 months and the dreaded ugly duckling phase worries me.

I still take comfort in the fact that I have already faced depressing times since past 5 years due to hair loss alone so just 6 months shouldn't be an issue to me.



Rest everything is OK . Following the cleaning procedure to the T which will last till day 15. .

Have restarted Finasteride 1 mg , Biotin 10 mg with other vitamins and minerals ( (Folli Hair ) . Was taking them pre op too so that is not a big thing for me.



Rest waiting to look a little normal again which I think should be till Day 14. Otherwise will use caps till whenever possible.

Slight pain in donor area on touching. Little loss of sensation in recipient area.
Lot of hair come out with scabs/ clots from recipient area on shampoo . But Dr Bhatti has mentioned in post op booklet that this is completely normal.

Some questions that I want answers to-
1 Is it OK to use some hair fibres like toppic if required on recipient area .This is to hide balding region in shedding phase.
2 As you can see in the attached photos, some scabs are still stuck to hair in the recipient area .I am very gentle while shampooing. Is there any issue or I should let them come out in their own course ?

Week 6 Update-

So update after 6 weeks /1.5 month

Most of the transplanted hair have shed as you can see in the pics.

I am in the shedding phase now or the dreaded ugly duckling phase. But I am holding through

Quite a lot of hair came out with the clots only between day 15 - day 25 on shampooing only.Whatever were left had shed between day 25 and 1 month . Now cannot see any shedding



Followed the post op to the T.



But the transplant did not go undetected . Returned office after 2 weeks with a bandana . Removed the bandana after 5 more days . But even after 20 days co-workers were able to notice the straight hairline and tiny scabs . Many commented whether I had got a Hair transplant . Had to deny and blame it on an allergy.



So my next update will be at 3 month I think

are the results any good after 6months?
