3rd HT w/ Dr. Jones DONE - 1488 Grafts

[bayareaht]

Hi,

 

Just yesterday I had my third, and hopefully last, HT with Dr Roy Jones.

 

(1) In my first HT in July 2003 I received about 1640 grafts. I wrote about it here -

(2) 2nd one was in just before Thanksgiving 2004.

This time I wanted to fill up the corners in the front hair line and fill up the crown - now that the crown loss is fairly stabilized on 1mg Finasteride every other day.

 

I got 1488 grafts - originally planned 1600 - and the Doctor placed about 1000 on the crown and rest in front temples.

 

I was originally NW4. With 3 HTs I totally got about 5000 grafts. No one should point at my bald spots anymore in the places you least expect.

I am yet to receive the pre-op photos. Will post it as soon as I receive it.

 

Experience is pretty much like before, except it was over soon and I was fairly stable to drive back home. Last night was not too uncomfortable on Vicodine and neither was today.

 

Applying ice-packs on the donor site right now, and showering with Graftcyte shampoo. Will start Mederma in a couple of weeks.

 

Any suggestion on how to reduce scarring?

 

Thanks,

 

BH

Just curious where does Dr. Jones work. I believe he use to be at NHI. Where did you get your procedure done?

[bayareaht]

He left NHI sometime in 2004. I got my first HT with him when he was still with NHI in 2003. Then I found him to be with Hairclub - doing his own practice alongside. However, this time he said he may relocate to Phoenix pretty soon, visiting Bay Area occasionally.

Did you have your 3rd procedure with him at the Hair Club in San Francisco?

[bayareaht]

I got the 2nd and the 3rd done at his San Jose office. San Jose office moved a couple of blocks along 1st st since my 2nd surgery.
