Thanks Bill. I never know where I should be at what point so any good news is great to hear.

I'm hoping I'm were I should be at 3 months. I'm also hoping for a lot of improvement in the next 3-9 months.

Most pics taken with no flash. 1 or 2 pics may have used flash but I cant remember which are which.

Like me you need the most amount of hairs moved in one go and few can do it like them.

Why do you recommend the Nizoral shampoo? What does it do?

Thanks for the replies.

Does it make your hair seem dry or stiff?

If in a case like this transplanted hairs in that scab break off does that mean the graft is gone also or will that hair grow back?

I'm not at a full 3 months yet but I understand. I'm at around 11 weeks so we are almost in the same boat. Hopefully we both get a pleasant surprise soon.

PS how can we "avoid mirrors"? Dont we use a mirror to put on our Rogaine?

i've just been 2 my second consultation for a ht (strip method)the first consult doc said that i could have 3000+ grafts done in a megasession as my donor area is fine my second consult doc said that my donor area is fine but the number of grafts i'd get is about 1500 -2200 and he calls this a megasession.he also said when i asked him about the diff that other docs say 3000 grafts but attain this by cutting the follicles up 2 make more grafts is he right? can the follicles which have 2 or 3 hairs b divided??is 2200 grafts the maximum that can b attained from the strip??i need some advice so i don't choose the wrong doc and i want 2 get the maximum grafts i can in 1 session so any advice would b much appreciated

How many grafts you can get depends on your donor area and laxity. This board has a lot of knowledge on it. You should consider naming the doctors you are considering so you can get the most advice. I dont believe most doctors split grafts to get to their total graft numbers. Please research as much as you can before going fwd. Can you tell us your age? Would you consider posting some pictures?

High density would be my biggest wishes come true so I'm 99.99999999% sure you will never hear me complain about good density.

Still in the ugly duckling period but starting to get a few pimples.

See my tips - Tips

Thanks Spex. I'm glad I can just leave them alone. They do not bother me at all. Hopefully as you said they are a good sign of things to come.

Are they a good sign?

Do you just leave them alone and hope they sprout?

I'm looking to read as much pimple wisdom as possible. Thanks in advance!

wantego,

 

Thanks also for your input on Dr. Rahal's written policies.

 

Best wishes,

You are welcome.

Thank you for running such a good board.

bullitnut,

 

I agree that patients should understand all aspects of what they are getting into before surgery. Doctors/clinics should be educating their patients not only about surgery and realistic expectations, but policies also.

 

It appears that there was a misunderstanding in this case.

 

Best wishes,

 

Bill

Bill,

To be fair to Dr Rahal as I said above I think I remember (I'm not 100% sure) Dr Rahals pre surgery paperwork did mention being charged for a portion of the extra grafts.

bullitunt i agree. Bill from now i think, all doctors should have a written policy for extra grafts which every patient must sign before the surgery(no verbal-it can be very confusing), so everseas patients can manage the extra $$ amount. This could be also big factor to short list a doctor. Bill, i am also not saying here what ever happened with me is wrong because extra graft policy was not cleard before the surgery. overall, i choose a top class surgeon and everything went fine. i would recommend dr. rahal.

I could be wrong but I think Dr Rahal's standard paperwork that is signed the day of surgery may have mentioned payment for the extra grafts.

It was a rerun. I had seen the last 30 minutes before but not the whole show. I certainly learned a few things from watching the actual cutting of the strip and how the grafts are inserted.

I honestly dont know the answer. Maybe it depends on how large an area. How many grafts are you looking for? Good luck with your HT!
