It's day 7 since my hair transplant. My 10" sutured incision is healing up well, but it still hurts a bit to lay the back of my head on a pillow so I have to sleep on my side or tummy at night. At least I'm sleeping in a bed now. The first three nights I slept in a recliner to ease swelling (I had none) and to protect the grafts.
I had to be very careful this past week not to dislodge the grafts. It's amazing how easy it is to accidentally bump or put pressure on the grafts and cause them to bleed. They had me spray the grafts every hour with a copper peptide micronutrient liquid for the first few days to help the grafts take hold. It's not good to let them dry out. It'll be months, though, before I know how successful the transplant has been when, at long last, the growth cycle begins.
Hair transplanting is expensive. About $4+ per graft. If you are losing your hair, my advice is to take steps to stop it NOW. 2.5 mg/day of finasteride (Propecia) should keep your DHT level repressed enough to stop MPB (male pattern balding). Of course, that may lower your sex drive, too, so like most things in life, it's a compromise. A full head of hair may help you find love on the one hand, but cause you to lose it on the other.
