Sorry - I posted this initially in the wrong forum. I just got my 2nd HT done with Dr. Shapiro the other day. Got about 2600 grafts - filled in mostly the crown area and some on the front. To place the grafts on the front, Dr Shapiro had cut my hair on the front very short. I was initially hoping to cover my native hair on these transplants on the front so the grafts would not be visible. But with the hair being cut so short. I don't have that option. Since i need to get back to work in a week's time, is it safe to use toppik over the grafted areas about 7 days after the transplant? can anyone offer any other suggestions? Thanks

I am going to have my second procedure with Dr. Ron Shapiro next week. How exciting! Looking to get around 3000-3500 grafts. Most of this will go into the crown area. Will post my experience after the procedure. 1st - Dr Rose 2300 grafts

Hi Guys, I had a hair transplant about a month back. I am now thinking of applying couvre hair masking formula. I would like to know if this would adversely effect the growth of the grafts. All inputs would be highly appreciated. Thanks

I had an HT surgery done at Shapiro Medical last week.It's now time to remove the sutures in the donor area. Can anyone recommend someone in the St.Louis area for suture removal? Thanks for your time!

East Coast, The strip is from the tip of one ear to another.

This one is immediately after the 2294 grafts. as you may notice, i have tried to fillin the frontal area more. Would go back to do more work on the crown sometime in the near future

sorry guys. I didn't know how to post more than one photos in post

Last week i got my first procedure done by Dr. Rose at Shapiro medical Centre. Went for 2000 grafts but Dr. Rose was able to extract 2294 grafts. A nice little bonus. The break up was: 1 hair = 571 grafts 2 hair = 1165 grafts 3 hair = 489 grafts 4 hair = 69 grafts From a procedural point, i should say that it was a fabulous experience. Felt no pain at all(that was my biggest concern after all!) Dr. Rose is a great doctor,very helpful, gentle and an down-to earth person. Matt is an great resource and the staff was very cooperative and helpful. All in All a very great experience.i am resting comfortably now and i have had slight swelling on the forehead. i have been diligently applying icepacks and thanks to all the previous helpful postings on this board, i was prepared for it.! I am enclosing my pre and post-op photos immediately after the procedure. All comments and suggestions are most welcome. Thanks, guys for all the encouragement and i know now comes the hardest part! Waiting for the hair to grow!!!

Thanks for the encouragement guys! i hope it is not a "hairy" experience! Just Kidding!! Vocor1 It's on Wednesday.

I have an hair transplant scheduled with the very well renowned Dr.Rose at the Shapiro Clinic in Minneapolis next week. This is my first HT and i am looking to get around 2000 FUT's mainly in the frontal area. I am excited and at the same time apprehensive. This is my first surgery and i am concerned with the pain associated when i am injected in the scalp area. Never been to a dentist so kinda worried. Will post my photos and my experiences for the benefit of all. This site has been of immense help. Keep up the good work guys!!
