Regular Member TrendSetter Posted May 10, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted May 10, 2003 Last week i got my first procedure done by Dr. Rose at Shapiro medical Centre. Went for 2000 grafts but Dr. Rose was able to extract 2294 grafts. A nice little bonus. The break up was: 1 hair = 571 grafts 2 hair = 1165 grafts 3 hair = 489 grafts 4 hair = 69 grafts From a procedural point, i should say that it was a fabulous experience. Felt no pain at all(that was my biggest concern after all!) Dr. Rose is a great doctor,very helpful, gentle and an down-to earth person. Matt is an great resource and the staff was very cooperative and helpful. All in All a very great experience.i am resting comfortably now and i have had slight swelling on the forehead. i have been diligently applying icepacks and thanks to all the previous helpful postings on this board, i was prepared for it.! I am enclosing my pre and post-op photos immediately after the procedure. All comments and suggestions are most welcome. Thanks, guys for all the encouragement and i know now comes the hardest part! Waiting for the hair to grow!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
