Can someone inform me about the "ugly duckling stage"
nychairdo replied to azakdan2682's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
It seems as though the "ugly duckling phase" refers to different things for different people. The majority of surgeons I have seen seem to support that a proper hair transplant should be undetectable after the first 2-3 weeks. My concern is that the 3 weeks I have off to heal will not be enough time to conceal that I had a procedure done. So what I am asking is- are most people referring to the "ugly duckling phase" as a period of no improvement from pre-op or do they actually feel as though it is a period where it is obvious to others that they had a procedure done. -
I am by no means criticizing this practice, they have every right to perform procedures how they see fit. As a patient paying considerable money to have a cosmetic elective procedure performed, all I ask is for is information on the way the procedure is performed. A sample response of "Dr Bloxham is now making all incisions while Dr Feller is in the room supervising" would be very simple and adequate. It is strange to me that some variation of that statement has not been made on this thread.

Agreed, Dr. Bloxham appears to be an excellent young surgeon. However, his small sample size cannot be compared to 20+ years of Dr. Feller's work and some transparency as to the details of the procedure would be much appreciated by a prospective patient.

Im a prospective patient wondering if any light has been shed on this issue. Perhaps patients of Feller/Bloxham over the past year could share details of who is performing which aspects of surgery and what is the current role and involvement of Dr. Feller
