HAIR TRANSPLANT FORUM

Sure Andy. I shaved my head on Day 8 but went back to work on Day 13 and no one noticed anything. Currently, I wear a 2-5 day stubble. I haven’t received any comments from anyone with respect to changes in my appearance. The only people who know are those who I have told (which is very few close f...

There were a few issues and I am waiting for feedback from Dr. Coles office. But Dr. Cole provided me with exactly what I had asked for.

Wazzup...I really appreciate your kind words. I've seen your photos and things really worked out for you. My case is strange (perhaps its just me). I embrased my baldness years ago. Eight years ago, I had hair on a Friday and shaved it all off on Sunday night. A few thought I was crazy. I accepted i...

Day 7: All Scabs are gone The scabs all disappeared last night. That was pretty amazing how they washed right off. Freaky. However, there is less excitement in this post. This is a roller coaster ride. In the photo there are a few marks but they are the skin that was under the scabs. The donor site ...

Forhair...if Dr. Cole wants to use my photos then he is welcome to them. Just no TV commercials...lol. But seriously, if I can assist him in any capacity, just say so. I have more photos (by-the-way) in folders designated for each day. I only posted certain ones. If Dr. Cole wants me to send him a C...

Day 6: Crusts and scabs are coming off at an insane pace This is a long post but so much has happened. Its Day 6 Post Op (12/26/06) and our Christmas gathering was a challenge yesterday. It was a very rainy Christmas day in Baltimore so the weather justified a jacket and a baseball cap. My sister-in...

I carefully washed my hair yesterday (several times actually) and the scabs are coming off now but the skin surface is a bumpy, crusty mess. Since I frequently have a cleanly shaven head, it was freaking me out last night. Also, my head was itching like crazy. I had to take one of those sleeping pil...

As I was Christmas shopping last night, my head started itching. Reminded me of when you get too much sun and your skin itches before it peels. I scratched it lightly and lost a graft that was attached to a blood clot that was coming loose. I understand this is common but it didn’t make me happy. ...

The donor region is healing really well…this morning I shaved the back of my head (only) because my hair was hiding the marks. In the photos, you’ll see why…its just a little pink. Before I go back to work, I have to see that the marks are gone before shaving it again. Shaving it didn’t both...

Attached are photos of my scalp with (and without) the sketch that I provided during the consultation. The area inside the sketch (for the most part) has hair but it is either falling out or it is miniaturized (or both). Since my hair is blonde (and thinning) it is difficult to even see hair in cert...

I am a Norwood 5 and I received 1050 grafts. I've been shaving my head for 7-8 years now. Before I started shaving it, I had a strip of hair down the center with deep recession on both sides. The hair in the center has thinned significantly since I started shaving it. Trust me when I say that I revi...

Dr. Cole...its the Baltimore shuffle here. I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their assistance during my procedure (12/19 and 12/20) and I wanted to say that I am thrilled to have met everyone. My donor area is looking really nice on Day 1 Post Op and I am confident that it will be clea...
