I Just wanted to update you on my recent hair transplant. I just got back to my hotel after a 3500 graft crown session with Dr. Feller today. I first want to say that I am more than pleased with the outcome and the whole procedure. I would have to agree with the masses that Dr. Feller is very personable and makes you feel at ease the second you step into his office. He really came up with a detailed plan with the "magic purple marker". I didn't realize how complex my crown patterns were until he drew up the plan then we reviewed it together on his computer from the up close camera shots of the planned area of attack. He took into account how far left my "whorl" started from and how the general direction of the different parts of my crown went. He dense packed 3500 grafts strictly into my crown. I'm sure a lot of people would be against a 29 year old putting that much emphasis just on the crown. Dr. Feller pointed out before hand that my density in the donor area was very good and that I should have good reserves if need be for the future. Additionally he said I was a rare case because I had such a concentrated area of loss in the crown and I was pretty good everywhere else.

I got there at 7:45 am and walked out with 3500 grafts in my crown at 3:45 pm. I just wanted to say that I am so grateful for this forum and Dr. Feller and his staff. His techs are very friendly and very skilled. I enjoyed the whole procedure. I've added some pics in my weblog from today. Dr. Feller has the best pictures though, so hopefully Spex or Dr. Feller can post some up close shots soon to show you how detailed the transplanted grafts are and how skillfully they mimicked the complex pattern I have on my crown.
I will try to add updates over the next few days, but gonna crash now in my hotel cause I'm sleepy off the pain killers ?????*

Looking good mate! You must be elated having finally got it done. What hotel are you staying in - from the photo's it looks like the bathroom at the Royal Inn motel where I stayed last year?

Good luck with the post op healing over the next few days and safe journey home.

Cheers

Custard

Thanks Tubs,

I will be here at The Andrew until the 12th. Feel free to swing by room 402 anytime and I'll show you the results and hook you up with some tips.

It feels good to hear you say that I should get great coverage. Dr. Feller really covered alot of area with a dense pack. I can't wait to see what it looks like in 9 months or so! I am super excited

That would be great! I'll get the beers! - sh*t, just remembered no beers for me just OJ! (had to give up the cigs as well).

I would be excited to, that's gonna produce a great mop.

Crown,

Congratulations on your recent hair transplant with a first-rate surgeon. Your immediately postoperative photos look terrific in your blog.

Take the next few days, relax, and heal. Do some light walking to help force the fluid down to minimize swelling - though you may not have a problem in the front since you didn't have any work done in the front.

I hope you'll keep us posted on your progress.

Best wishes,

Bill
