Hello everyone,
I was looking for information on the Tulsa Transplant center and I stumbled upon this thread. I registered because I have had 2 procedures performed at the Tulsa center and I'm going to share my experiences.
On the good side, I can't say anything bad them personally. The staff was very courteous. The office manager was as helpful as he could be and I feel like they gave me honest answers to all of my questions.
On the bad side....in reading several threads, I am realizing that many of my concerns have merit. Because they are my only experience, I assumed that what I experienced was typical protocol for a hair transplant, when many of these issues could (and likely should) have been avoided.
Like nosferatu says, there was a large scar at the incision. I also questioned to myself why Dr. Frayser had such little involvement with the procedure. One of my procedures was done during the afternoon and I think he might have left for the day before the procedure was complete. I don't remember seeing him after the incision was made, but I was informed that he had called in some pain medication at the local wal greens when the procedure was complete. Also the numbing medication began to wear off as the procedure went on and it was very painful.
As for results, I don't think they did a terrible job, but I wouldn't say I'm satisfied with the results by any means. The difference in hair density is too apparent, especially in the hair line area. In some pictures, I don't look like I have a hair line. The density is so poor and the light hits it where you can see directly to my scalp.
But to be fair, I have had people tell me that they can't tell that some of my hair is implanted. But I should also mention that I make sure that my hair always has volume because if my hair is flat, the implanted hair sticks out like a sore thumb....or at least to me it does.
