  1. Dr. Lindsey, I've been away from this forum for a while...I just read your news about your daughter; that's great! I hope that she continues healing with great speed. Benjamin
  2. Thana, For what it's worth, your hair looks great and very full...the style you've chosen definitely works to your advantage. The color is cool...looks like flames shooting from y=tour forehead...! Benjamin
  3. I've had two procedures with Dr. Feller; I'm highly pleased with both of them. \ Benjamin
  4. I'd agree that "pinch" is a euphemism...those needles make their presence known! One pain-management technique that many find helpful is a form of meditation, or mantra. Mine, for example, was "MOTHER@#$%$ #$#ING #$#$!!!!!!" Benjamin
  5. notsosure, I believe so...but Propecia, as far as I know, works on the crown only. Bottom line, of course, is whatever your (or any) physician tells you... Good luck! Benjamin
  6. notsosure, Based on both conversations with Dr. Feller and what I've researched on this forum, my understanding is that transplanted hair doesn't require medication for the same reasons that allow transplantation in the first place -- the transplanted hair is inherently non-balding. Benjamin
  7. notsosure, I can't speak about medications, never having taken them. Regarding scalp tightness: having had two somewhat large procedures (4200 and 3100 grafts, respectively), I've found that in each case, the feeling of tightness all but vanished within a couple of months after staple removal. I think it's safe to say that a skilled surgeon will be as focused on donor area healing as on the overall appearance of the transplant. Benjamin
  8. That's an unfortunate story. I generally think that those working for TSA are professionals who care about doing their jobs...but once in a while there's the occasional power-tripping asshat with more authority than brains. My marginally related story involves, not me, but a colleague of my wife's who was flying back to the States after a somewhat serious injury sustained in a bombing in Iraq. The asshat in question demanded that said colleague remove the bandage she had been wearing on her head, which as you can imagine was extremely painful. Insult to injury of the lowest order, considering that she was on the plane in the first place because she had been injured while working for her country. All turned out well, and as far as I know the matter was taken care of...which I personally hope included the TSA officer spending the rest of his career cleaning up after the bomb sniffing dogs. Benjamin
  9. I would definitely wait until the techs have finished placing the grafts...
  10. JoelH, Congratulations; you and your scalp will be in highly skilled hands. I've had two procedures with Dr. Feller, and am highly pleased with the results. Have a safe journey across the pond... Benjamin
  11. Dr. Lindsey, That's a thoughtful show of support for your daughter...I wish her the fastest of complete recoveries. Benjamin
  12. Janis -- your hair looks fantastic. Props to you for sharing your photos on this site. Dr. Feller -- once again, a home run. Benjamin
  13. Regarding "weighted" transplants, this was also the approach that Dr. Feller took with my second procedure second procedure -- which, granted, was different from the case of the patient who is the focus of this thread. Given that I part my hair on the left and will always do so, and therefore would benefit from maximum density on the left, Dr. Feller planted 2-hair grafts in the left "temple triangle" area, and single-hair grafts in the right (Dr. Feller, please confirm my facts here). This photo, taken the evening after my procedure, seems to be an example of two aspects of how "weighting" worked for me. * In the temple-triangle areas (top of the head, extending back from the left and right temples respectively), the greater density is not particularly evident when looking at the newly transplanted hair, nor in later photos of the top of the head, but in total work subtly to give the hair more bulk, based on the way I generally wear it. The result is a strategic "construction" of hair matched to my unique style and characteristics, but that looks natural. * There is a small rectangular-looking area near the crown , into which Dr. Feller had opted not to transplant hair, given the particular hair loss pattern in that area. In the photo, the line between that area and the recipient area is highly pronounced, because my light hair was shaved down to my similarly light scalp, causing it to stand out vividly against the just-planted grafts near it. Again, in later photos, once the redness of the recipient area had subsided, there is no visible difference between the above two areas. Benjamin
