Senior Member John M Posted September 27, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted September 27, 2007 This is a partial view of the donor scar and the recipient area after having about a 3200 graft transplant with Dr Feller. I'm not going to make a comment; i'm curious on what you guys have to say. Those larger scabs are from an infection that had pus under the skin that was drained with shampooing with GraftCyte. I was concerned about losing the grafts there, but I do see hairs poking through the scabs. Tomorrow I have to see Dr Feller to remove the staples. Did anyone have a sore scalp after their procedure where no grafts were placed? Right above my donor scar up to the crown area is sore, and some hair shed after the 2nd day. Still some sheds, but not as much, but the scalp in that area is still sore. Anyone experience this? By the way, I was not totally bald in that whole area. A lot was shaved, and grafts were placed in that area as well as reconstructing my hairline. Here are the pic links: View My Web Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 John, Congratulations for selecting a first-rate hair restoration physician for your hair transplant surgery. Without preoperative photos it will be impossible to predict the density of your surgery, but assuming you had no pre-existing hair, 3200 grafts in the frontal half should certainly give you a good cosmetic improvement. I hope you'll take some time to post some pre-operative photos and that you will keep us posted on your progress. Thank you also for creating a hair loss weblog. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member John M Posted September 28, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 28, 2007 You mean high on the sides? It doesnt matter; I won't lose the hair there anyway. It's just not in the genes. View My Web Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Arrie Posted September 28, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted September 28, 2007 That scar does seem a little high, but the doc knows what he doing. With 3200 and your pre existing hair its gonna look great. Do you have numbers to share? You only live once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member John M Posted September 28, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 28, 2007 Thanks for the pics, Doc. I went to www.fellermedicaldata.com and saw this quote, "If procedure is booked within 1 week of consultation with Dr. Feller the cost is $4,750 no matter how large the session is beyond 1000 grafts" Is this for real?

Dr. Alan Feller Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 John, That's my old website from 9 years ago. I only use if for data storage and web posting and NOT as the official feller medical website anymore. now it's just fellermedical.com. Grow well.

Bill - Seemiller Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Dr. Feller, The links weren't working because they weren't formatted correctly. The URL tags don't support spaces. Neither do web browsers actually, but they now convert a space to a "%20" which is the way around supporting spaces. I fixed the links to include this. The second link didn't work because of the spacing and the misprint of the word "images". Nonetheless, it is fixed Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member John M Posted September 29, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 29, 2007 I'm not sure about too many specifics on things like the length of the donor area. I asked Dr Feller, and said that I have about 10% more than the 3000 grafts I paid for. View My Web Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 John M, Everything is healing nicely bro! Keep us posted. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member John M Posted October 2, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 2, 2007 Thanks Bill, hopefully the growth will be as good as the healing! This is a last pic from today to show all the scabbing and redness gone. That one dot is a mole that I had all my life. Hopefully this will be the last few months that i'll see it! This will be the last pic in a few months as i'm sure nothing new will be happening at least until 3 months. A few more graft hairs fell today, maybe 10-15. Hopefully the minoxidil and propecia will help most to stay in (yea, right). View My Web Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
