Regular Member Capello Posted June 30, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 30, 2009 hello everyone, it's 5;30 am. yesterday's procedure went very well. I got to the office at around 6:20 am and and finished at 9 pm. I actually slept very well considering and there has been no swelling. The total graft count was 5881 with a break down of 1281 singles, 3513 Doubles, 1087 triples (11568 total hairs). Heading back to the Dr.s office today for a wash and then will be flying back to the east coast. Everything that has been mentioned on this forum about Dr. Wong and his staff and facility is right on! The experience is exactly what I had anticipated. I would recommend Dr. Wong without hesitation. My Hair Loss Patient Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Wong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TC17 Posted July 1, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted July 1, 2009 Congrats Capello! I'm a really big fan of Dr. Wong's work, so I'm very confident that it will turn out amazing. I see that your density was slightly below the average of 2.2 hairs per follicular unit though, but with the number of grafts moved that should be a relative non issue. Do you by chance have any post op pics of the donor area as well as an idea about how many centimeters were covered? Also, if you don't mind disclosing, how old are you? If I read your profile page right correctly, you began losing your hair at age 22 but it stopped around 32? If that's accurate, it would appear as though you had very aggressive loss in only 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Capello Posted July 1, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 1, 2009 Hi TC17, I believe the donor strip was 2 centimeters by 32 centimeters. According to Dr. Wong it was a big strip. he said that my laxity was excellent. I'm 37. Yeah, I lost my hair pretty quickly. I'm not sure if they took pics of the donor area. Thanks!
