foSteve Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I had my second surgery in November for over 3,500 grafts. I think the total surgery time was 15 hours. Is this an average time or are most sessions shorter for this number of grafts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NEWHAIRPLEASE Posted December 3, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted December 3, 2011 I would say 8-12 for that number. 15 seems a little long but not necessarily incomprehensible.

Senior Member Cant decide Posted December 3, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted December 3, 2011 15 hours is long for 3500. I would say the average for that number is more like 8 hours.

foSteve Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Newhairplease, My surgeon was Dr. Panine. I am happy with the results thus far, it just seemed so long time wise when I was there so I wanted to see if anyone other people had surgeries run this long. I think Dr. Panine began setting some of the grafts and then two of his technicians took over and set the rest. I think maybe the two techniians were also helping seperate the grafts. There seem to be a long wait from the time the doner strip was removed until they began setting the grafts. Again, I am happy I went with Dr Panine. Other than the lengthy procedure everything else has been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NEWHAIRPLEASE Posted December 4, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted December 4, 2011 Fosteve Dr Panine is an excellent surgeon who has produced some excellent results, especially here as of late! So I'm sure he was just being very tedious with his work. I'm sure you will have excellent results. Good luck. I'll bet you slept good, hopefully anyway! Newhairplease!!
