Planning to take the Plunge


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. This is my first post, and I hope to learn from others and share my experiences with the forum.

 

I am 34, and I am planning to take the plunge on the HT. Very exciting times! I have a short list of doctors, and I will log my thoughts and pictures throughout the process.

 

Thanks to everyone who has already helped me via the old posts here! Tons of good information here.

Hey NickinTX,

Great that you have decided to undergo a hair transplant surgery! Choosing a good surgeon is the most important and probably the most difficult task for people like you, who are relatively new to this. After extensive research on Hair Transplant Surgeons, I had chosen Dr. B. Arocha. I have undergone two hair transplant surgeries by him in Houston and am very happy with the results. He is undoubtedly one of the best in this field today. His patient’s photos and videos in his website - Arocha Hair Restoration - Houston Hair Transplant Surgeon & Specialist for Hair Loss speak volumes about his artistic surgery skills.

Probably, you might want to have a look at my own hair restoration journey photos. So, here's the link - Hair Restoration Site for Sabby

Please let me know if you want more information on my experience of surgery with Dr. Arocha. All the Best..

Thanks, everyone. I am 99% excited, and 1% nervous! I'm sure everyone is a little nervous about the unknown, right? :-)

 

I just locked a date with Dr. Hasson, and I am confident in my final decision. The doc said I need about 4,000 grafts, so I will definitely keep everyone posted. I haven't taken any meds yet, so I will ask Dr. Hasson about that when I see him next month.

 

5 weeks and counting!!!

 

Nick
