MARINE'S Personal Journal

I will do my best next time I take the photos to replicate conditions in Dr. Umar's office. I'm not good at taking pictures so I could use any tips, I guess using a flash is not good? Anyway, I will be buzzing my donor down to a #1 next thursday and I plan on photographing and posting these pics. It is worth mentioning with regards to the immediate post-op donor photos that day 1 of surgery involved 900 extractions from the left half of the donor and day 2 600 extractions from the right. So if you look at the left side of the donor from the photos you can see that the day one left side extractions are almost invisable after only 1 day. I am very happy with hairline placement as it is not too low and in my opinion perfect for my case. Today is 2 weeks post op and some transplanted hairs are shedding while others seem to be standing fast. I've seen post op photos where recipient sites are pink for a while but mine is practically un-noticable. I am very happy SO FAR and it doesn't appear that donor scarring is going to be an issue and the recipient area looks good too. so as of right now, my expectations up to this point post op have been met and greatly surpassed.


Some recipient photos are hereby presented.
