I got a transplant.

What happens here

Day 6 marked a significant improvement, with most of the swelling having subsided, allowing the patient to feel 'somewhat like myself' again. A tiny bit of swelling remained under the eyes and on the cheeks. The newly implanted grafts on the forehead were visible, along with the shaved donor area at the back. Despite the appearance of a 'chaos mess' on the front, there was no pain. The stinging in the donor area was still present but manageable with Tylenol. The patient looked forward to the remaining five days until all restrictions were lifted, allowing him to resume all activities and wear any type of hat. He also discussed cost considerations, mentioning that while procedures in Turkey can be much cheaper (starting around $2500 for 1500 grafts), they require factoring in travel expenses. In the US, the cost for 1500 grafts was approximately $7000 in Idaho, with higher prices in other states like Washington. He also noted the possibility of a second procedure after a year for a fraction of the initial cost to achieve up to 80% hair density, citing Elon Musk as someone who reportedly had multiple procedures.

Goal: By day 6, most of the swelling subsides, and the patient begins to feel normal, while looking forward to resuming all activities and full hat-wearing after the remaining recovery period.

Tools and materials

short end of the stick well today is day six and I'm finally clear so day six update I finally feel somewhat like myself all the swelling going down there's probably just a tiny bit but it's finally getting absorbed bruising right there from all the fluid so this ladies and gentlemen is six days post operation nothing hurts up front though it looks like a complete chaos mess and this is what the back looks like that's where all the stinging is coming from it's so annoying even right now I'd probably do for a little bit of Tylenol I should be back on track like I mentioned today is day six of no activity I have five more days until the doc says I could be clear for everything all activities all kinds of hat wearing that they can't come fast enough you can travel to places like turkey that's very well known for this kind of procedure and get it done for far cheaper than it is in the United States though you have to consider travel stay food and all the things that associate with over the seas traveling and of course you can get far more graphs or implants than you would here in the United States they kind of squeeze as much as they can at once and from my research it shows that some of these costs start at about 2 500 bucks now let's say getting it done here in the United States costs of course Very just like housing depends on which part of the country you're in I live in Idaho and my cost for 1500 grafts was roughly around seven thousand dollars though I have friends who are in Washington state and they paid a few grand more than that so that's kind of like the ballpark plus or minus and of course it depends how many crafts you get in my situation I have 1500 graphs taken out other people might need 3 000 and of course the graphs cost will go up he then said after about a year when everything was healed and growing back I can come in if I wanted to for a second procedure which only cost a small fraction of the cost and that'll get you close to 80 of your hairline I don't know if I'm gonna come back for that we'll see what this looks like now he did say Elon Musk got has done and he had like three procedures allegedly but who knows so I hope you guys enjoyed all this information and who maybe has been informative for you guys it's definitely something I'm excited about this is essentially like a boob job for a guy's head it definitely improves your confidence so now this week we'll see you guys on the next one see ya bye
