chantal

I'm a 45 year old female and had my FUT procedure done in December 2008 with Dr. Rahal in Ottawa. Dr Rahal and his staff are very professional. The procedure lasted for more than 8 hours...1925 grafts- 3,675 hairs total. The first 2 weeks were very uncomfortable...(til the stitches came out). My original hair started growing immediately after the procedure but I did experience some shockloss in the donor area. I am now at 3 months and my "new" hairs are definitely starting to grow. The scar in the donor area is almost invisible and my hair has grown over it. I do have lots of pimples and have been using witch hazel. I still have numb spots on my head, mostly at the back. My scalp is still quite red and I decided to stop using rogaine for a few weeks to see if the redness disappears. The most difficult aspect of the whole procedure (except for the first 2 weeks) is having my hair cut short on top of my head. with the rest of my hair being shoulder length, I look pretty funny...Wearing hats and scarves takes some getting used to but I'm actually starting to like this new look! Looking forward to the next few months. And yes , I would do it all over again
