Regular Member BetterDaysAHead Posted January 13, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted January 13, 2012 3 days ago I had a hair transplant of 2218 grafts FUT for my hairline. I had wanted to do something about my hair loss for around 10 years. It really started to thin in the front and I started wearing hats much more often as well as toppik. I have very straight and fine hair. More recently I have done a bunch of research on Hair transplants. I visited a Surgeon in San diego and one in Nashville and still thought maybe I would wait. So I did. I put it off for another year. Finally after realizing my hair loss would continue albeit slowly, I felt like I needed to go ahead with a transplant. I started spending more time on this site and called a couple Dr's that were recommended on here. I felt good about Dr. Glenn Charles and even though I live in Nashville, TN, I felt it was important enough to go with someone highly recommended. So I made the decision and made the appointment. I will try my best to update my pictures each month and answer any questions you may have regarding my procedure and progress. I have to say, the experience went better than expected. The worst part was getting the numbing injections, which lasted maybe 3-5 minutes and honestly wasn't as bad as getting dental fillings. The total procedure went from around 10:30 to about 3pm. We took a break for lunch and the kind staff brought me my sub sandwich that they ordered for me. I watched 2 movies which helped pass the time and for the most part couldn't feel a thing other than a little tightness in the back where the strip was taken out. Everyone was knowledgable and nice and I would definitely recommend Dr. Glenn Charles. I guess I'm not looking forward to waiting the 3-5 months for it to grow, but I know it will be well worth it once it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member chrisdav Posted January 13, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 13, 2012 Welcome Better Days Ahead. Do you have any pictures from your recent surgery? 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK. Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
