Second Procedure: 2 Month Update (61 days post-op)

Hello everyone,

Today is Monday, January 11, 2016 and I am now two months post-op from my second hair transplant procedure.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year.

At the two month mark, my natural hair and grafts from my first procedure are finally growing out and I have a few little spuds from my second procedure that are just starting to grow. My hair in the back is now long enough to cover my suture line and it healed really well due to my prolonged absence from lifting weights and working out.

I also resumed lifting weights today for the first time in 2 months and overall I felt really well moving around and lifting again. I still have some residual numbness on my left and left-middle parts of the back of my head so it’s only a matter of time before I regain feeling there. I lost about 12 pounds of muscle over the past two months and I am following Mark Rippetoe’s Starting Strength program to help me get back to my baseline strength and gain some of that weight back.

Looking ahead, this year I will turn 30 years old and like I said last year at this time, I don’t ever have to worry about going bald or losing any more hair for the rest of my life.

It’s a new year, a new me, and we’re off to a great start.

Check back next month at 3 months post-op.

All my best,

-Lance

Second Procedure: 1 Month Update (30 Days Post-Op)

Hello everyone,

Today is Friday, December 11, 2015 and I am now one month post-op from my second hair transplant procedure.

After one month, not a whole lot is happening. I have some initial growth in the frontal hairline but not much else is growing from my second procedure. My regular hair and grafts from my first procedure are still growing out since my buzzcut on November 23 and the suture line has healed beautifully. For the past three weeks, I’ve worn a baseball cap at work and ever so slowly the hair around my suture line is growing out to eventually cover it up.

As I’ve said before, you must refrain from any heavy lifting or rigorous exercise for at least a month after your procedure so that the suture line can properly heal. I’ve been more conservative in my recovery in that I will resume lifting weights a month after my suture removal, so in the meantime I walk about 20,000 steps a day (about 10 miles) to stay in some level of shape.

In my extended absence from the gym I’ve lost about 11 pounds of muscle from just not working out.

Check back next month at 2 months post-op after we ring in the new year.

Happy holidays and all my best,

-Lance

Update: Back for More Hair!

Hello everyone,

I have some excellent news to share with you all.

On Wednesday, November 11, 2015 I will have another hair transplant procedure.

The reason why I am having another procedure is to fill in some weak areas in my temples as well as fix the scar in the back of my head that didn’t properly heal.

For some reason, the right side of my head didn’t correctly heal as whenever I get a haircut, the right side of my head looks like it has a small crease like from a baseball cap. The lowest I can cut my hair around the scar is a 5-guard so I will have the old scar removed.

Concerning my temples and temporal peaks, I was told prior to my first surgery that one procedure can yield 30 to 40 percent density in areas that don’t have any hair so sometimes a second procedure is needed to create a finished product.

Just like last year I will post monthly updates for every month of progress for 12 months and I will also post an update for every day of my recovery for 12 days.

I look forward to taking this journey again and sharing my experience with you all.

If you have any questions by all means, feel free to email me .

All my best,

-Lance
