Thank you for doing these! I had my surgery almost two weeks ago and it’s been helpful to hear that you’ve had similar experiences. Even when the doctor says this is how it will go it’s helpful to hear people who have been through it share their story. So thank you for making all these videos!

Hi thanks for this. Was worried. Week 3 today and my crown has totally shed including the bit of original hair I had. Puts mind at ease

[Andy-jqej]

Thanks for this video. Very helpful for those that have recently gone thru a similar procedure. I have a better understanding of what I can expect in week 2 and 3.

[HiGHnP]

Oh man I am in the exact same phase and shed....similar hair loss pattern and type.

Thanks I was worried about looking more bald and that the crown didnt work but it must be the shed...and I hear you about the side's being thicker snd making the balding looking worse!

Fingers crossed it grows in thicker in the weeks to come!

I'm not sure if you'll see this or not, but when did the redness eventually go away?

[louisstevens]

Thank you for sharing these. Incredibly thorough and therefore useful! Wow

Hi Jim,
Got mine done to, I'm in the three week mark same as u was !
I'm noticing I'm shedding to lol, it's kind of very much the same as yours on the three week mark !
It's looking a bit shit
But hopefully the process will begin soon,
Thanks Jim 👍

Mate one of the better videos this as there are so many people that make these videos where they dont be real !! Im 8 weeks in, i have a few growths of hair .. sporadic … but yea, hoping another two months it will be growing more so…

Hi i had my hair transplant on the 13 October 2023 its now day 4, 17th October and continued inching on scalp and whatever hair was their has gone, thanks alot dht ...3700 gtafts from sanumentun turkey all gone in 4 days

[Maxxiej]

Thank you for this video! I’m between week three and four and I’d been concerned I’d done something wrong with how it’s looking and was worried about the shedded hair not being able to grow back, but it looks very similar to this! Maybe mine is slightly more sore-looking 😂

But also was nice to know you were still feeling discomfort at this point. Was expecting to feel normal now but still getting some very strange sensations! Mainly when I get goosebumps haha

I’m day 8 still have scabs in the transplanted area. One hair came out today. I wonder if you shed now?

[DeanMorrissey-fuyf]

Did you scalp itch when the shedding phase started

[maximusmeridius]

Your 2 week mark looks the same as me at the moment at day 19. The hair is thin and whispy and growing in random directions at the moment. I'm starting to notice significant shedding over the past few days my crown is starting to look fully bald again. I haven't reached the week 3 stage just yet.

[SpellJake]

Please tell me I am not alone suffering from a very slow painful recovery in my donor area at week 3. I am having tightness feeling, lots of itching and soreness like my hair is being pulled aggressively. It’s so annoying! I am rubbing moisturizing cream is it ok? Also does all the hairs fall out during ugly duckling or some hairs remain and never fall out? And at 3 weeks how aggressive do you need to be when washing your hair? I am totally numb on the top of the head is it normal?

[navnavo]

Did you take finasteride or do anything different to pre transplant?

[brianmaiello]

Hello. I’m currently at week 2. How were you washing your hair? Massaging? Or just like you used to? I’m scared to scrub it

Thank you!

[richardneagle]

Hello Jim, all looking good, where did you have the procedure done, best regards
Richard

[mauricebelz]

Did you take any finisteride and or minoxidal?

[JR-vmtm]

Great video, about to get 3k grafts in two days. Did you continue using minoxidil after your transplant?

[davidmccourt]

Looks great 👍🏻 I’m on day 8 after surgery!
