I have been eager to do a hair transplant surgery for many years, and approaching 30 I finally decided to do it. I had approximately 1630 grafts placed on my hair line done by Dr. Brandon Ross. It has been about 12 days and I am very happy with my results from day 1. I am one that is super nervous about any surgery or needles; however, after doing my research I knew I was in good hands. I did not experience any pain and felt great through the whole process. I had no down time after the surgery. The first night was a little uncomfortable sleeping but was not a big deal. I experienced very slight swelling around donor area which was gone after day 2. I experienced no other noticeable swelling after the second day. I have not experienced any shock loss yet, and the scabs have been falling out for the past few days. I have not lost any of my grafted hair and the hair is growing!!!! I know it is still early, but I have heard that the scabs may contain hairs—but not mine!! I got the stitches removed on day 8 and the scar is healing very nice and not noticeable with my hair covering it. Dr. Ross and his staff are all super nice, and they have a very clean cozy office in La Jolla. Without a doubt I would recommend Dr. Ross to anyone considering a hair transplant. Thanks Dr. Ross!!! I am so happy!
