I had my procedure recently done as well with Dr Ron... I had my staples removed day 9... I went in at a local cosmetic clinic for a consult so they could evaluate and they said the wound was healing fast and they did the removal at the consult... The local dr was amazed I had the procedure just 9 days prior... I wonder if the Spray (Lipo ATP) on the recipient runs down and accelerates healing of the donor... I could feel it running down my head... First 24 hours I sprayed every 30 minutes (on recip)....

For me I felt like I did as well but I very well may be as a result of not washing our hair as we normally do so it could be a collection of normal hair loss... I'm hoping it is the latter of the two....

Welcome everybody... Today is day 14... Has gone by really fast but also much harder than before... For some reason I am struggling with the ugly duckling phase... I can wear a hat to work so that's no big deal but the anxiety and paranoia is very high this time.... I feel I have done everything post op to perfection yet I still worry ... This was the first procedure they had to cut existing hair so I think 20 years of mastering a comb over it's hard not having that option... I am sure it was awful anyway... This forum lead me to Dr. Ron... This forum armed me with what to do at MSP when they asked me to remove my hat... I appreciate everybody being so open and candid with advice and your stories... You have no idea how many people view this, over and over and over.... I had just over 3200 grafts via strip on Feb-3 of 2015... The experience in the clinic was nothing like my previous 2 procedures... The honesty from the doctor (clipping my existing hairs), short term loss for a long term gain... The staff triple checking their work... The detail of Dr. Ron and his team was amazing... Does anybody have any tips to get through this phase? I guess as I age it seems all things are a little more challenging... Getting back in the gym will help... I am starting that tomorrow.... Does Toppix help with the short term illusion or maybe some Xanax ? I will see if Janna can remove my ugly face from pics and she is free to post what ever she likes from my trip to SMG....
