Regular Member Jay00 Posted July 18, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted July 18, 2022 Sorry I couldn’t post yesterday, as some of you may know, I had a bad transplant and was looking for a doctor to repair it. I decided to go with dr Mwamba after consultation. the surgery took all day. Got there at 8:30 am and finished around 10 pm in new jersey. Got to go back there in 2-3 days to remove the stitches. Head was swollen yesterday and I’m currently waiting for the pictures (will post pictures and more details as soon as I get them, by Tomorrow Tuesday). Will post the pictures pre HT and after. Overall, I had a very good experience, Dr Mwamba worked on my surgery and his assistant lady was helping him. Seem to be very knowledgeable about HT. I am very happy with my choice, I hope this yield great growth (prayers). also we didn’t “repair” my donor area. This area is growing hair now so I guess it wasn’t overharvested. In comparison to my first HT experience, there no comparison! Dr Mwamba is a professional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HairRun Posted July 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2022 This is of great interest to me as someone seeking a repair. A lot of detail must have went it because 12 hours sounds like a long time for 600. Was it because they were relocating grafts from the hairline?

Yes they had to removed old grafts and place them correctly. We took a few breaks. They take their time when it comes to implanting the graft, they are very careful with the angles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw in another review they used stitches. Btw, was this in the NJ, AT, or Europe location? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted July 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2022 Is there a reason you are only booked for a day? I am a Mwamba patient too and definitely know its so time-consuming for him to do the extraction/redistribution of bad grafts. But curious why he didn't book you for 2 days or even 3? I don't have time to re-read your previous posts but I feel like you had more stuff to be worked on than those 600 grafts. Regardless, this is a fantastic step forward and great progress in your recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member BaldReaper Posted July 21, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 21, 2022 Hey Jay just a couple of questions 1. How many grafts did you eventually remove? 600? 2. Did you get any kind of postoperative care like silicon gel or steroid cream for the area? Also I see that you are black and I am thinking that SMP would be a very good solution for you, do you consider it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ITA Posted July 21, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Damn, the pics with the stitches are impressive, so your procedure consisted of extracting the 600 grafts in harline and repositioning them in the middle scalp? Will you have to return in 10/12 months to rebuild the hairline? Good recovery anyway, you have relied on an excellent surgeon in the repairs.

He removed 150 grafts from the hairline and reconstructed it, also fixed the angles of the previous HT. 400 grafts were taken from my donor area to add density. 2. Yes he gave me Recedo Topical Gel, I start using this tomorrow. and last, I don’t think SMP is an option right now, I have curly hair which can get long depends how I style it. The problem was my hairline my hairline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol maybe Because I didn’t wash my head in the past days it looks weird. No work was done there - we basically pushed the hairline back closer to my real hair. He also fixed the angles of previous HT thank you bro for the well wishes. Hopefully this goes well 🙏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted July 22, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted July 22, 2022 @Jay00 did the surgeon excise out the graft bearing skin along the hairline (like a minor FUT)?

Senior Member SimpleLife Posted July 26, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 26, 2022 Thanks for your sharing your case man Do you notice any scarring after the removal of stitches so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jay00 Posted July 26, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 26, 2022 One week post removal. I’m having mix feelings. I should have just filled the gap instead of removing. lol I don’t like the look you guys think the hairline scars will somehow disappear in the fiture? since I have more donor hair, it’s possible to still fix hairline later when it heals ?

Senior Member RTC Posted July 26, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 26, 2022 you can defo fill in the gaps later, isn't that the plan anyway? Use the gel, I'm sure it will look good. and if you implant hairs on it than in itself will camouflage any skin issues Hattingen September 2023 - Punchouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
