On October 24th 2003 had the 2nd and final session of 707 grafts.
I have to say that I am absolutely thrilled with the results so far and cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Seager and his highly skilled professional staff, many of whom have worked under his supervision for several years. The last procedure that I had was the most comfortable and painless I have experienced and healing was rapid and without any problem. To my surprise I had almost no numbness at all around the donor region.
I have been following this forum for quite a long time and decided to post my story because I believe there are not many posts from people whose experience goes back to the sixties from Norwood 3 to 7.
I also believe that Dr. David Seager, who is highly regarded by his peers (recipient of the Golden Follicle Award), does really excellent work but does not appear to enjoy the credit he merits on this forum. I have noted that whenever a positive testimonial appears from an enthusiastic patient or when a prospective patient indicates he is considering surgery with Dr. Seager, it seems to me it is quickly followed by posts from the regular contributors who are quick to say " yes but you should also consider Dr. X, Y and Z" etc. This has often left me with the feeling that perhaps some vested interests were behind the motivation for these posts.
I do not intend to become a long-term contributor to this forum but I shall be posting some photos showing the progress of this my final hair transplant procedure.
If I were to offer any advice from my experience it would be, as others have often voiced, to think very seriously how any procedures will look not just in your 20s but over the rest of your life as the balding process continues to take its toll. There are some great doctors out there and clearly many others who are less skilled. For my money you should certainly include Dr. David Seager of the the Seager Hair Transplant Centre in your short list of recommended top hair-transplant surgeons.
