2 months Post Op
Here are my two month pictures. I haven’t noticed a ton of changes- I’m watching the loss on the side incision as I have lost a bit more, but I hope that’s the end of it! My hair grows super slow so I’m just keeping an eye on it. All these pictures are of my scar without makeup covering it! Any ingrowns I’ve been getting I’m still treating with tend skin and it really helps!
4 weeks
I’m 4 weeks post op as of yesterday, and feeling pretty good so far! My scars in my hair where the staples were are still a bit tender to touch, but everything otherwise feels good. Have had a couple ingrown but using Tend Skin and it’s helping!
My hairline shedded and thinned just a little in spots behind my hairline, but nothing extreme or anything I’m concerned about as I can see new hairs growing! So I’m not worrying about it. The scar looks good and I see half inch hairs growing already! I did have a little loss in spots where the staples are (see pictures) but I’m hoping that will recover as well soon!
As far as shedding goes, this week I would say is when I finally have noticed it’s tapered off and almost back to normal!
Not a single person has noticed, and my two friends I told had no idea until I pointed it out! I’m really looking forward to seeing things continue to heal and my scar start to be less visible! Dr Aharonov is amazing and his subtle results this quick speaks for itself!
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me! :)

Day 14- 2 weeks since surgery!
So far so good! To start, my biggest goal was trying to find something to get the ointment out of my hair - I read dawn dish soap helped with Vaseline. My husband bought this super gentle, natural ivory dish soap and a dawn as I was worried about scents and sensitivity to it. We tried the ivory and if it did help, it was only minor. I had to work one day last week so I put a bunch of “hair laundry” by healthy sexy hair dry shampoo, which is like a powder, in my hair, threw on a headband, put my hair up and went to work. I didn’t wash my hair for two days after and when I did Sunday it was clean except for a few spots on the sides were still a bit greasy! I don’t know if it was the dry shampoo that actually worked to absorb it, or not over washing my hair everyday that helped too. Wish I could give you girls a more definite solution but that was the turning point for me!
Anyways, yesterday was the real test to style my hair for the first time. My natural hair is curly, and I always straighten it. I also have side swept bangs. I was actually really thankful for my bangs now to easily hide my scar except for like an inch where my hair parts! The weird thing was was having to trim more than an inch off my bangs from lowering my hairline! Something I never thought about prior. No one at work even noticed. I saw my mom and finally asked what she thought with my hair styled, and she told me she forgot all about it and didn’t even notice until I said something, so obviously not even noticeable! Yay! Should make hiding the scar while it heals easier :)
Healing- I have noticed more shedding in the shower and in general, nothing I’m freaking out about though... just trying to remind myself to not stress and it’s part of the process! I can see and feel the little hairs coming through my scar already, so I’m hopeful the next few weeks are ok I don’t experience shock loss! Just trying keep my stress down, drink lots of water, eat lots of protein and take my vitamins. I feel two little ingrowns, but because of my curly hair I expected it. I bought some tend skin at Dr Gal’s recommendation and will give that a try and see if it helps. I’m going to start using a gentle exfoliant on it to hopefully help that. The tightness in my head is gone- I’d say day 10-14 is when I felt it or go finally! Still weird not being able to feel the top of my head, but I’m feeling a touch more sensation all the time! A little piling/puckering, but really not that bad. So far, SO happy with the results and if I can get through these next couple weeks with no hair loss, it will be smooth sailing from there!
