thom25 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I was thinking about a HT for many years since I started losing hair at 23. After my extensive research and my wife's approval, I decided to go with Dr. Charles at Boca, Florida and transplanted 2500 grafts. In my opinion, Dr. Charles was great and very professional and I think he did a great job. The techs were very nice and professional. The surgery went very smooth and not painful at all except the first couple minutes when he injected the anesthetic (I actually fell asleep during the surgery). I am now two weeks post surgery, still some crust and minor pain at donor area. Unfortunately, I am experiencing some excessive shock loss, but Dr. Charles said these will be coming back in 2-3 months. Hope he is correct.

Regular Member sudhir8702 Posted September 24, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 24, 2013 shock loss is the worst after effect of HT. Though it seemed to have stopped for me , but i have already lost a large amount of hair and the remaining have become thin. I hope it grows back soon for me and you.
