trudappa Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) Big day for me...... I am going in for 9:30 this morning to Dr. Charles office in Boca Raton for 1500+ grafts in my crown area..... I dont have much time left to post before pics but i will try to post them tonight along with some after surgery pics. I am very excited and nervous so wish me luck........ edited from here: A little details..... I am currently 25 and I began losing hair in my crown region rapidly from around 21. I have always thought about doing the surgery but could never afford it so I started saving ever since. At the beginning of this year I was almost ready to start seriously looking for a doctor and finally getting business in order. I went for a consultation with Dr. Shapiro and thought it was rather informative and the price he offered was perfect. I decided to do a little more research before i spent my money and stumbled upon the hair restoration network and it proved to be my best decision. I learnt so much more in a few weeks than i did elsewhere all year long. I found out some not so positive things about Dr. Larry Shapiro of Delray Beach FL and decide to rule him out as an option. I looked to some of the website-reccomended surgeons and heard many positives about Dr Glenn Charles and a few others and decided to do a consultation with him even though I knew he was out of my price range. All i can say about that is he is such a GREAT guy and I decided without a doubt that i could not do such a life-changing procedure with another doctor.

trudappa Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Ok just got back home....... "1600+" grafts later....... A little bit of a head ache which i assume is normal but I am extremely happy with the procedure and feel quite confident that it was a job well done. I cannot wait to see what the results look like months down the line. Give me a few minutes while i figure out how to post pictures on here...... I will also try to post monthly progress.

Senior Member Tao Posted October 7, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted October 7, 2010 Trudappa, You have curly dark hair which usually produces great HT results. I'm betting you'll look great in a few months. Keep us posted. And congrats.
