Hello all,
This is my first post. I recently received an HT. Unfortunately, I began reading this website after the HT and probably did not go into the HT as informed as I should have been. At this point I will withhold the Doctors names and any pictures but may post them in the future. I will just say that one of the doctors claimed to have 22 years experience and the other 12 years. I was just hoping I could have some questions answered.
A little about my procedure:
1. I am 26 and about a Norwood 4 and still losing hair. I suspect I will be a Norwood 5 in the next 3-5 years and a Norwood 7 before the next decade.
1. I had an MFU (Multi-Follicular Unit) HT done. Not the celebrated ultra refined FU I am reading about in this website
3. The MFUs were more densely packed in the front and more spread out until it reaches my crown area.
2. The doctor said I received 820 MFUs from two parallel 26cm x 0.5cm incisions.
3 He estimated I received about 4000 hairs from this.
4. The procedure cost $5800
5. I am about 12 days post surgery and the incision looks pretty clean. My scabs have fallen off and I can see hundreds of little tiny hairs in between my native hairs covering almost all of the balding area, although they are about 1/4cm to 1/2cm apart from each other. I know these will fall off soon but it gives me an idea of where the hairs will grow out from I suppose.
My question is. Other than the fact I did not have the best HT method (ultra refined FU) done. Does anything else seem unusual with my HT based on the info provided? Such as my Norwood #, my age, grafts, incision size, hair count and cost?
Sorry for not providing pictures at this time, hopefully you are able to give me some advice/comments based on the info I have supplied. Thank you!
