Wow, what a difference. Lookin' great buddy!

Has anybody ever used Mederma? I read many comments on another forum about how great it worked by many people, but after going through a whole tube, I don't really see a difference. I think the only effective way is through lasers.

Cool, thanks! Next time I do a HT, I'll just buy two bottles of Folligen then.

Here's what I did. Pick several notable doctors who are recommended. Then do a search on the doctors last name in this forum to see how many posts each doctor returns. Then pick the top three which have the most posts about them. Then out of those three look through each of the posts about them and see how many patients rant about how happy they are.

My method gave led me to Dr. Siporin who is genuinely concerned about his patients.

Thanks for the advice guys! I went to see the doctor and he reassured me that those hairs will not make a difference. They've stopped falling out today when I used the shampoo. I'm happy with my results from Dr. Siporin. Hopefully I'll get 95% regrowth after the hairs fall out within a couple weeks.

Amazon has both GraphCyte Spray and Folligen Solution. I paid $300 for the GraphCyte kit, but I think all I need next time I do a HT is just a spray. Is there any difference between the two sprays?

You can resize in Photoshop or maybe something free like FastStone Photo Resizer.

Guys, I took a nap and when I woke up, I found two more double-hairs had fallen out by itself! (Today is day 3 as my surgery was last Saturday) I know it's not much, but I'm still pretty sad about it.

Why are only doubles falling out? (Singles would make me feel a bit better)

Thanks for the answers guys. The doctor just called and answered my questions. He even said that they could be put back in if less than 24 hours. Too bad I rinsed those precious 4-8 hairs (maybe more) or so down the drain.

I went by the sheer number of happy customers I saw on this forum and decided to go with Dr. Siporin. Here's my questions for those of you who have gone through a hair transplant.

1. I washed my hair on the second day and noticed some scabs in places where I think there were no transplants done. I couldn't help but pick them. Did I do this wrong?

2. Third day sleeping, and my scalp started itching like crazy when I was sleeping. I accidentally picked a couple scabs w/o being fully awake and it started bleeding like crazy. I went to the bathroom, kept pressure on it, and stopped it. I noticed a couple hairs with the bulb and maybe even the follicle in the sink. Should I be worried?

3. Both of my temples are swollen for some reason. Looks kind of funny. What's going on?

4. How do they count the number of graphs while doing the transplant? (I had 1500, but I've seen people with this same amount cover much more area than was done with me)
