    I thought I cleared this up in my follow up message. Only the sites were prepared the day before late in the afternoon. Spidey got what I was saying The 2nd day, first thing in the morning was when the grafts were removed and implanted. It's been 8 months and have not seen any growth. I was just wondering if anyone heard of this practice or had it done this way and what were their results. My previous sessions were with another surgeon and everything was done the same day. Sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean to Stir the Pot!!

    Sorry if I didn't explain this right. You are correct, the surgeon made the recipient holes the day before and then removed the grafts from the back of the scalp and inserted them the next day. Again, it's been 8 months and I don't see any growth where in my previous transplants I did see growth after 5 to 6 months. My other procedures everything was done the same day. I don't know if doing it over two days would make any difference. But very discouraged about this.

    I have had a total of 5 strip method hair transplants over the last 15 years, with 3 different surgeons. The first four the incision and grafts were placed the same day with an hour or so. The last one which was done about 8 months ago, the surgeon I used did the incision the day before he inserted the grafts. I'm not seeing any new growth like I did the previous times after 8 months and wondering if it's because he did the incision the day before. Is this practice common? I have not been back to the surgeon because he is several hours away. Any one familiar with is practice and should I be worried?
