TONY'S 4 DAYS AFTER SURGERY UPDATE

Day 4 Update

After morning shower

(attachment 1) One close up with light to see into the grafted area.  It looks, feels and gets better each day healing wise.  Never had a problem with bleeding, oozing or anything yet (fingers crossed).  Redness really isn't a big problem.  

(attachment 2)  Another pic more in shadows to get a glimpse of the lowered what the lowered hairline would look more like when filling in and slicked back.  

Can't wait for the finished result

During day 3... had a bit of swelling around the four-head and eyes, but just got more aggressive with ice... took some ibuprofen and it went away the same day.  I'll keep an eye on it for day four and five... but I'm still doing massages and icing as directed.  Nothing bad yet.

Graftcyte - trying to apply as directed.  Its never caused bleeding or even dry blood to drip down. 

Suture line feels better and better every day.  the first night was the only difficult night trying to find a comfort zone sleeping.  Night 2 and 3 was practically like always... but on my couch to achieve 45% angle as directed (its actually quite comfy that way... may be a permanent move? LOL).

Suture line looks clean... is undetectable b/c of my hair length even at only day 4.  When shampooing and conditioning, i like the feel of the fuzzy little hairs growing back in between

Shampooing and conditioning the grafted area has been great so far.  I think I am applying the right amount of pressure.  A little more each shower.  Haven't done anything to cause them to fall off or bleed yet doing so.

And the last thing I want to thank Doctor Bolton for, is generously agreeing to guarantee that I will look like this in 2-3 months:Grinning face with smiling eyes
