When I had my procedure I was sitting upright, and was not allowed to wear my glasses (and thus could not watch TV, which wasn't available anyway). I was told to sleep upright in a chair for at least three (3) nights. I did this but still swelled so bad I couldn't see out of my left eye. I was also told to use plenty of ice on my face. I did this and felt like a freezing victim of the Titanic. I must have had 2 dozen needles in the back of my head, and well over 100 needles in the front and top. Is this many needles normal? Overall it was a horrible experience. I will have to have a third procedure done soon. Hopefully it will be done by a more competent doctor and the pain an swelling will be less. Of course, I will hope that more than a mere 40% of the grafts work this time.

The HT that I had a few years back was performed in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Yes, the swelling was very bad. I was in alot of pain for over a week. The back of my head took almost a year before that tingling on the back and top of my head went back to normal. There are noticable blank spots where transplanted hairs were supposed to grow, but never did. Overall I was very disappointed with my experience. Some of the hair grew, but not nearly as much as was promised. I was in lots of pain and discomfort with tons of swelling for over a week. It wasn't supposed to be this painful, but it was.

Ii had a transplant a few years ago. It was considerably more painful than I had hoped. Perhaps 40% of the grafts grew. I followed all the instructions, including sleeping upright for four days. Within three days after the surgery my face was so swelled my left eye closed and I could see dozens of grafts popping out of my head. It was horrible. Whenever I see an ad on TV about how some people go back to work the next day after the procedure I literally scream. I had to hibernate for over a week before I looked well enough to go out of the house. I was a mess. Does anyone know what on earth this doctor (or I) did wrong?
