Patients After Hair Transplantation (with Photos)

What will I look like within a week or two after a Hair Transplant?

Here’s a collection of recent patients. Please note that the amount of redness is different for each person, and all of these patients had these photos taken pretty soon after surgery (between 3-10 days, as noted below). Click the photos to enlarge.

This first patient is 10 days since he had 2150 grafts. He has white skin and dark hair and wants to keep his hair pulled back. He would do better to hide the transplants by combing it forward, but this is his choice, of course. What you are looking at is a new beard from the transplanted hair which is about 1/8th inches long, just below the hair that he had prior to the transplant. The transplanted hairs were placed between his longer hair.

The second patient has 1661 grafts and had no cover at all. This is his bare skin on the 7th post operative day. Good washing and small surgical wounds are the key to fast recovery of hair transplants almost immediately after surgery. Most people who are bald worry about detection of the transplant. By about two seeks, the faint pink glow will not show. If his skin color was anything but ‘very light’ not even the pink appearance would show.

The third patient had 1794 grafts and is 3 days after his hair transplant procedure. He had short hair in the front and the transplanted hairs was placed between his short hairs. He did form very small crust that did not immediately wash off in the first day, as is often the case.
