Hello all, I've attached the pictures of my condition before, after & during the surgery....Can you give your opinions about these? 1st 2 pics are before surgery: Next pics are after the surgery & during the surgery: URL=http://imageshack.us] [/url] URL=http://imageshack.us] [/url] Thanks,

Hi Nelly, Yes, I've consulted "hair club" & "Bosley" in U.S they've quoted me around $10,000 to &11,000 for my HT session of 2000grafts. I, being a world traveller (my job makes me travel a lot around the world), always want to explore the new opportunities, so I focused on this growing up country China & found this good doc for my HT. I will post my pics in the next week.

Hello guys !, Today I got my stitches removed by the doctor. Sorry, there was a mistake in my understanding with the doc (communication problem), today I specifically asked him how many GRAFTS he placed (with the help of a translator), he said he placed more than 2000 grafts, that means around 4500 hair. So, in my initial postings on this form I wrongly posted it as 4500FUs, sorry it was 4500 hair. But anyway I am satisfied overall when I compare it to the price paid ($2100).

Hi Pat, I might have forgot to mention,...I am not an American, I am from India, but I live in U.S on work permit. I will post my pictures soon after I go to back to U.S I've spent $2100 for a 4500 FU session & a overnight stay in a luxury room at the hospital.

Hi, I had my 1st HT just 10days back, here in Shanghai China (around 4500 FUs). My stitches are going to be removed tomorrow. I wasn't given any kind of sedation before the start of my procedure. First I was given a local anesthesia at the donor area & my strip (about 23cms long & 1cm wide) was removed & stitched up. Then my doc gave multiple injections of local anesthesia over my receiving area & started punching the holes. As he didn't gave much anesthesia on my forehead, it started to pain when the holes are getting puched over my frontal area, then I asked him to give more injections and after that my surgery lasted for 7 hrs (no music or videos during the process) After 3 days post-op, my whole face was swollen like hell for 4 days(I looked like a Martian). Swelling went away completely just yesterday. Now I am almost normal, except the numbness on top of my head & little pain in my donar area. But overall , even though I suffered with pain, I beared it like a Rambo & now I am on my way of recovery...I am completely satisfied with my surgery when I compare it with my money I spent. I am going to travel back to U.S in couple of days !

Hello all, Thanks for your replies. I know you all are very curious to know about my doc. Actually I came here to Shanghai on a business trip followed by a 1 week vacation, so I just want to utilize this opportunity for my H.T, then I started searching in Google about HT here. I found the following link http://english.eastday.com/eastday/englishedition/speci...bject1ai1664359.html Yes, it is the same doc in the above link who performed mine ...Dr.Li Guhai He works in 2 hospitals. one of them is this http://www.sh-shuguang.com/english/. You can look at the HT department. I will post my before & after pics once after I go back to U.S. Thanks

Hi, After a long wait & research, I had my 1st H.T (around 4500FUs)last Wednesday in a government military hospital in Shanghai China, with the help of a good translator. As per my investigation, my doctor is very highly skilled & experienced in H.T surgeries. He did my whole surgery continuously (I mean without any break) for 7 hrs. I had some pain during the last couple of hrs of the surgery, but I am O.K now. Today is my 8th day post-op. I am going back to U.S in 3 days. If someone could answer, got 2 questions. 1. I still can't feel anything (numbness) on the top of my head in the transplanted area, Is this normal ? Usually till how many days this would last. I've read in a website that persistent numbness is one of the side effect of HT, is that true ? 2. My doc said, he is going to remove my stitches in another 2 days (I mean 11th day) and I am travelling the next day to U.S. Is it safe to travel right after the stitches are removed ? Also, is it going to pain during the stitch removal ? Thanks in advance !
