Brando...I would totally recommend the dissolvable stiches. Mine seemed to stay in a little longer than 2 weeks...maybe 3 weeks or so. But when they started falling out, they came out fast. Like in one or two days. It looked like small pieces of fishing line falling out of my hair. As for my scar, I realy don't have a clue what it looks like. You can't see it at all. I guess the only way would be for me to shave my head. (I suppose if you ran your hand up the back of my head, you might can see it.) But I had no adverse affects from the dissovable ones. It's interesting that Social is making 2 follow up visits to Dr. Cooley. When I had my first surgery 2 years ago, I didn't go back at all. They told me to call if I have any problems...which I did not. I'll find out tomorrow if they want me to come back this time. I'll post tomorrow night about my experience. (unless I'm high on valium)

What made you not want the dissovable stiches? I know Charlotte is an easy drive, but when I had my first surgery 2 years ago, they dissolved in a few weeks, and I didn't have to make another trip. Just curious.

Hey Social...I also live in Columbia. I have my second surgery with Dr. Cooley tomorrow. I had a similar experience to what you had with Dr. Cooley and his staff. All are very friendly, and easy to talk to. My first surgery was 2 years ago. I decided to have one more to thicken the hair on the top of my head. No one can tell at ALL that I've had anything done. He really does a great job. I'll post how things go tomorrow.
