5 days post op. During consultation I was told that the lower crown would be left as I am only 26, though what I imagined to be lower crown must not have been what he had in mind as the crown hasn't really been touched at all.
I'm feeling conflicted as on one hand it seems to be healing well & at no point have the grafts bulged as I have seen elsewhere. Unsure if this is due to the punch used, but I'm hoping that this is a good thing.
On the other hand, my crown was the thing that bothered me the most, & I'm feeling a bit daft for not going elsewhere to have closer to 4000 grafts so that the crown could have been at least somewhat addressed. I'm feeling like the crown has been left to fit the procedure within 8 hours rather than my best interests & would have rather paid extra for some coverage in this area.
Maybe I'm being irrational. Maybe two smaller sessions are more effective than a larger one, but I feel like an extra 800 grafts or so would have made such a huge difference for me.
I'll definetely be pursuing a second transplant as soon as I can. I was hoping I wouldn't have to wear fibres anymore & I could start playing sports without either a big balt spot or the fear of sweating all the fibres out. This was supposed to be a liberating experience for me & I'm feeling a bit naive.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
