macca260 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Hi All, Just wanted to start a bit of an updating thread as I have just finished 3000+ grafts at NHI in Melbourne with Dr Barry White and crew. I know the skepticism that exists within forums like this and I will provide all photos before and after to keep you all posted with their quality, service, professionalism and most importantly results. I did stumble across this website previously when looking for results and some feedback from people that have had transplants and being from Australia, it was difficult to find substantial details about any top notch Dr. So far, I have been pleasantly surprised with the support offered and care shown. Stay tuned for some early photo updates. Wish me luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca260 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hi All, It has been about 16 days since my op and today I went in for the removal of the staples. Majority of the scabs have fallen off from the graft implant area and it feels great to have the staples out - should be a much more comfortable nights sleep tonight! The staff again were very helpful today and I look forward to the coming months of new growth. I would say that maybe 2 grafts have fallen out in the first day or so but 1 graft per 1000 is normal and Im happy with that ratio. If you are keen for some photos of the staples and the grafts let me know, happy to keep you guys informed if you are after the info!! Cheers and good luck to you all on your journey!

Senior Member Denny Posted April 6, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hi Macca, it is good to have some info about Australia. I haven't heard so much. I am quite surprise you removed your staples 16 days after the surgery. Is that correct? I would like to see the pictures to follow your progress. I wish you all the best! An amazing experience (4002 grafts) with Dr. Koray Erdogan (ASMED Clinic). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca260 Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Yes, from all reports 2.5 to 3 weeks is the standard for the removal of staples and not a moment too soon! The scar is looking quite thin which is perfect but it is quite long. The other photos attached are the grafts areas after 16 days, still a bit red but majority of scabbing has gone away. Still some areas are sensitive but not tender to touch. Cheers thanks for your interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted April 6, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted April 6, 2013 Please keep us updated! Be good to hopefully hear good things about Australian clinics... 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week. Wrote a book for newbies called Beating Hair Loss, available on Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
