At this point, some 2+ months later, some of the hair transplanted fell out as expected (dormant stage)and much did not, which is interesting. Many follicles, contrary to expectation, actually did not go dormant and instead continued to grow. Although too early to know for certain the outcome, I did research for several years before actually committing to the procedure and trusting a physician to do it. I am therefore optimistic at this point as the hair continues to grow out, albeit slowly.

Going back to the day of the procedure, the staff did an excellent job of keeping me comfortable and entertained with a movie and the news. The first night was little rough but prescribed narcotics cut the edge off the pain. The next day it was simple tylenol and after that, no pain killers. Some swelling around the eyes and forehead which dissipated within a few days. Took a week off work and was back the next week with no one the wiser that I had the procedure done. The scar around the donor area is almost undetectable and all of the minor pain associated with any nerve damage cleared up over about a 5 week period. The "minor pain" I'm describing was really just slight, occasional twinges that gradually stopped over that period of time. As a matter of fact, I began exercising fully after about 9 days post-procedure.

Would I recommend the procedure with Dr. Alexander? Absolutely yes!

I will continue to post as hair growth continues.
