Senior Member irish homer Posted May 12, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted May 12, 2006 just finished with Dr Epstein and 2300 graphs. first off what a nice guy, what a great bunch of people he has working for him. arrived there at 8am this morning and was straight into it. haveing only had a photo consultation he had a look and outlined his plan to place around 2200 graphs ( had paid for 2500 and he cut a cheque for the differance, could have said nothing as i didn't count them.-)) the procedure was as painless as you could expect an the time went by quickly. Dr E genuinely puts everything into the procedure and wants the best possible result for the patient. he chats throughout the day and is a very intresting and open guy. his staff are fantastic and look after you as if you were a family member. they are kind and work tirtlessly to keep up with Dr E. last night i sleept ok, was a little sore at the donor site but only a 5 out of 10 on a pain scale. the graphs are fine and i have very little bleeding. am due back to the office for a shampoo this am and Dr wants to see me for a check-up on tuesday before i fly home.i will write a fuller account for my web log when i get home. thanks to all on this site for their help in making this choice.

Senior Member JacobS Posted May 15, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted May 15, 2006 You are in good hands with Dr Epstein. Enjoy a hairless summer and look forward to those Christmas family pictures. Where did you ask for the maj. of hair, front third right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member irish homer Posted May 17, 2006 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 17, 2006 mostly in the front and mid scalp with the plan being to return and get some more at a later stage. all seems well at the moment, the hairs don't seem to be falling out yet so have that to look forward to-) Do they always fall out? the only discomfort now is a terrible itch but i can live with it!

Senior Member hairbank Posted May 17, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted May 17, 2006 Congrats on your HT. Unfortunately, yes- you will lose the majority of the grafts by the 2 week mark.....probably around 80% or more. Don't worry though, it's just a sign of good things to come in the future. Keep us posted on your progress.
