Surgery went great and the pain hasn't been bad at all since. On Day 10 I had to get a haircut to look normal again for my job the next day. They barely touched the recipient area though. I know hair is should fall out around 2 weeks following a procedure. My scalp still had tons of crust on it though, so I put argan oil on it last night.
