LonelyGraft Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Hey guys, i just had my fue ht completed and I’m nervous and excited at the same time.I just have one question that’s been bugging me tonight. I’m naturally a chatty person and during both days of extractions I was chatting away with the tech doing the extractions. I kept asking if I was distracting her or not and she said no. Now I’m worried all my chatting may have not been the best idea to let them concentrate on not transecting or damaging my grafts!What are your thoughts on this?

Regular Member SBSinNYC Posted September 25, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted September 25, 2018 If it was a problem, I expect they would have said so. At this point it doesn't matter. If you think you're nervous now, wait 10 weeks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HarryHonolulu Posted September 25, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted September 25, 2018 Well... it makes you “out of it”. I definitely was talking jibberish during my surgery... not to the point of being irritating but definitely in that classic altered state way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member pkipling Posted September 28, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted September 28, 2018 Haha! I didn't shut up either, and based on the replies here, it seems we're in good company. The drugs definitely make you loopy, which often presents itself as chatty. I believe Spex was inquiring about you saying that a technician did the extractions, which is something that only the surgeon should be doing. Assuming you went somewhere credible, I imagine the surgeon was actually doing the extractions but a technician was there to receive the grafts as he extracted them and then transported them to be cleaned and counted.

Senior Member gillenator Posted September 28, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted September 28, 2018 JJ, I agree that if the tech was distracted to the point that possible transections would occur, she would have said something. So I would not sweat it...if you went to a clinic that has a track record with proven FUE results, you should be fine... 1 Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Payam Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I don't get this, people in this thread frown upon techs doing the extractions yet there are several tech heavy clinics recommended on this site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with a clinic in Europe where the extractions are done by the techs. The implantation of the hair is handled by the doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
