Mark's Bosley Progress

November 5, 2009

With each week that passes my head is feeling more normal. Virtually all of the scabs are gone. There’s still a tinge of sensitivity along the donor suture line, but it’s not painful. After the procedure I did notice my scalp looked fuller. Why? Because of the small graphs that had been transplanted and perhaps the dark scabs. As my surgeon advised, these micrographs would slowly but surely fall out, then followed months later by new hair shafts 6-8 months later.  And that’s exactly what has happened. I felt my hair looked fuller for a little while. Now it looks similar to where it was BEFORE I had my procedure. Going through this procedure it’s very important to listen to the surgeon. That way you truly understand what to expect and there’s no disappointment.

The only thing I’ve noticed have been some small bumps on the top of my head. My Doctor had told me there could be some in-grown hairs which could present themselves in the form of a bump. I was told not to do anything except warm compresses and that they’d eventually go away. This has been my experience.

I suppose the hard part now is waiting for the new growth.  I recognize there may be nothing to see for another 3-4 months at least. But it will be a thrill to see the return on my investment in 2010.
