Surgery was today.
1500 units
Dr. Allan Feller
Started at 8am. very thorough prep...drawings, photos, intro to the techs
Dr. Feller marked donor area, tech shaved, numbed and the strip was removed by the DR>
Moved to other room and received numerous needles with Lidocaine to numb donor area.
Dr. Feller made every incision in the donor area and began the insertion of the follicles. Tech's took over [ 2 working jointly installing ] two cutting strip into single hair and double hair units.
51/2 hrs later..job was done.
looks too good to be true. very little redness or swelling. Tech's, Anna & Geri, were top shelf, very professional and gentle during the procedure
Needless to say, the night before was filled with some anxious tossing and turning but the end result was worth every minute and dollar spent.
I don't even care what i look like post surgery, knowing that in just a few months the hairline that was lost will be back and the constant fussing over lost hairline will be a memory.
Thanks to all who have provided support and great pre and post experiences from this website
tiki

not a very large area but very dense packing. lot's of time spent at temple areas

Tiki, are you using graftcyte to encourage healing? After my last procedure, I used graftcyte only on the donor scar area. I used a salt water spray on my grafts. I heard that vitamin E oil is also good. Good luck and remember - keep your fingers away from those scabs!

I agree with Graftcyte use,

Use it at least until you run through a 1st spray bottle, for me it was 3-4 days. It really does help with the healing IMO.

Good luck !!
