Senior Member DDD03 Posted May 22, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted May 22, 2009 Just wanted to share my pleasant experience at Dr. Fellers Office. Flew to NY Yesterday to see Dr. Feller for a consultation and ended up getting a PRP done as well. Dr. Feller recommended 800-1000 grafts dense packed in between the 2s and 3s that currently make up my hairline (very sparsely). I was very happy with his conservative approach with grafts because I am only 25 and realize that I will have more HT's down the road. I am going to try to schedule the appointment as soon as possible. I've been doing research on this site for over a year and am confident the Dr. Feller is the man for the job. Also I had a PRP treatment which was about as simple and painless as possible. It literally took less than 30 minutes and there is virtually no evidence that anything was done. I considered buying a hat on the way back to the airport but after looking in the mirror realized there was nothing to cover. He made a couple dozen injections of the platelets all around my dome and then did 250 small pokes to activate them (correct me if I am wrong doc!). The needle is so tiny that you cant see anything. It was an overall very positive experience. Well worth the day of Travel and am excited to schedule a procedure and correct my hairline My Hair Loss WebLog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 DDD03, Hair transplant surgery and PRP treatment - sounds like a hairy day :-). Where was the PRP treatment administered? Was it administered in areas of the scalp that weren't transplanted? We'd love to see some before and postoperative photos when you get a chance. And if Dr. Feller took any photos while administering the PRP treatment, I expect everyone would find it both educational and interesting. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member DDD03 Posted May 23, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 23, 2009 The PRP was pretty much done just behind where the transplanted hairs were. The front has decent density after my HT but my hairline is very stalky. I've posted pics previously with my situation but will try to post some others soon. Dr. Feller took some pics and I would be fine if he shared them with the community. PRP is an exciting development and I hope it treats me well!

Senior Member DDD03 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 25, 2009 lost - just really trying to keep what I have. I assume growth is possible but I would be elated if it just allowed me to keep whats already there. Sorry for the bad pics. Hopefully it gives you an idea of what I am trying to acheive though. I realize my hairloss isnt horrible and I just want to use this small number of grafts to fill in the gaps a bit so it looks natural My Hair Loss WebLog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member DDD03 Posted May 30, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 30, 2009 Scheduled to have 800-1000 grafts with Feller on Tuesday. Will try to get Dr. Feller to take some better pics. Aparently the 8 Megapixel camera I bought doesn't know how to focus. The pics don't show the extent of stalkiness. My Hair Loss WebLog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Lastchance Posted May 30, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted May 30, 2009 Best of luck with the procedure DDD03, I might get to wish you well in person as I'm dropping by the clinic that day. Had my procedure done 3 days ago but I'm staying in Great Neck a bit longer and going to get a PRP as well My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Feller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member DDD03 Posted May 30, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 30, 2009 I'd say lets grab a drink the night before but I don't think that would fly with Dr. F! Haha. This whole no alcohol thing sucks! Well worth it in the end though... My Hair Loss WebLog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Lastchance Posted May 30, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted May 30, 2009 It sure does, but you're right, is a small sacrifice at this stage My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Feller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ccexxp1 Posted June 3, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted June 3, 2009 Forgive my ignorance, but what is a PRP treatment? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member DDD03 Posted June 3, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 3, 2009 PRP is Platelet Rich Plasma that is injected in the scalp and could possibly induce some sort of growth or atleast sustain it. Please see the following thread for some more information. http://hair-restoration-info.c...=121102672#121102672 My Hair Loss WebLog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
