It has been 11 weeks since my corrective surgery with Dr. Woods in Australia. The skin grafting in the area where the former pencil eraser sized plugs, that had formed my hairline, has healed and blended in nicely. The area you see in the picture on the upper hairline with my hair wet, was severely damaged with a raised wall of scar tissue and thick plugs. The plugs had been placed at the wrong angle on the hairline and grew outwardly in an unnatural direction and amplified the unsightly condition.

Another benefit of the corrective surgery, besides the cosmetic improvement, was the cobblestoning and raised plugs would constantly get irritated and even more so in the hot summer months. I can report that I feel better as there is no longer any irritation via the removal of the raised plugs and scar tissue. The majority of the follicular units that were transplanted are just starting to break through the surface and I am looking forward to the future when they have grown to length and blend in.

I will return to Dr. Woods next year for corrective donor scar revision from prior hair transplant surgeries. Dr. Woods is able to utilize your chest hair and transplant the follicles into the prior donor scars to diminish the appearance and save any valuable donor hair for the top of your head. I also have enough donor hair for another 500 grafts and will utilize this for a touch up.

Once again, I am greatly encouraged with the results. It also takes getting use to looking at yourself, especially when I look at a "before" picture of myself.
