Hi Alex - glad you’re healing well! How’s the scar healing for you?
Hi! I can't even tell that there's a scar when looking up close. I'd say it's pretty much finished healing at this point.
Wow, once you hit the ten month mark, it all settled and blended so nicely, you can’t even see the scar. Wow, congrats!
This looks amazing!!!
Oh wow looks pretty good! How many inches are you closer? Any chance we can see a face pic? And maybe hide eyes for privacy. Thanks!!!
Have you had hair transplants in the past or did he just lower your natural hairline? I have had hair transplants to lower mine so I'm sure this would work for me. You look amazing!!!
No, I haven't had any hair transplants.

There's still some slight numbness towards the front of the scalp, but I'm still extremely happy with this procedure.

Four month update

I still wear my hair down, but not as much, just to cover some spots along the hairline that are dark. They look like my black roots clumped together and trying to grow through the skin. There is still numbness at the top of the scalp, but it's still slowly coming back and getting better.

wow, and I see you have hair color on the new hair! How long after the procedure can we color our hair? How is your hairline and scalp feeling these days?
The instructions say three weeks but I waited closer to six before colouring. Scalp is slowly regaining feeling, but it's a slow process. I would expect at least another couple months before it's back to normal
Very cool. I am debating between this doc and Dr. Jason Champagne. May I ask why you decided to choose this doc? Thx
He is well known for doing this work and had hundreds of before/after pics to show me in his office. I hadn't heard of Dr. Champagne though. If you're local, I'd recommend just going to both for a consultation.
I'm in Bay area but I think I'm leaning toward this doc because of his FROST technique. Thanks for all of your replies to my questions!
What tablets did you took after surgery? Did you had hair tablets?
There are several vitamins you start taking about a month before surgery. I continue to take those now.
I also got a prescription for finasteride because about 3-4 months after surgery, I was getting quite a bit hair loss. It was most likely due to shock loss, but I got the prescription anyways and it's stopped now. I don't know whether it was the medication or not that stopped it though.
I had the surgery done one week ago. however, I the doctor didn't prescribe me vitamins. And I am worried about hair loss after surgery. Do you still take finasteride? If not, how long did you took finasteride tablets?
Are you male? If not, finasteride would have no effect. In any case, I would just wait and see how it goes before taking any measures.
You can also take biotin to help promote hair growth.
Thank you, I am a woman! I have listen vitamin c and b are also good
