Default Hair Transplant

Hello everyone, I am having HT surgery on December 6th, 2011 with a very well known surgeon. I am having 1700 grafts placed into my crown (strip method). I am 29 and have had thinning of my crown since 18. I am very excited about this and I know this probably won't be the only HT I will have to have. Anyways, I provided some pics and will continue to update as my progress goes forward. Thank you.

Had my Transplant with Dr Edmond Griffin today. The schedule was set for 1700 grafts/3400 hairs using the strip method. Ending up getting around 2000 grafts/4100 hairs. It was one of the nicest places I have seen. Everyone involved in my care was 100% professional. I'm sitting in a hotel right now, about to eat and take a pain pill because I want to stay ahead of the pain. I'll post picks when I feel less groggy. Thanks all.

Here are my pictures 3 hours post op surgery. Not much pain, just some tightness around my donor area

Default 1 day post-op

Hello to everyone. I am now 1 day post op from my hair transplant with Dr. Griffin. I went by his office and got a shampoo today. I can honestly say I have had very little pain, except around the edges of my staples. I learned today my graft hair totals. I paid for a 1700 graft session, but was given 2700 grafts/4200 hairs. That's a little different from what I remembered yesterday. Dr Griffin and his staff are absolutely incredible. He called me last night to check on how I was doing. Here are a couple more pics taken today after my shampooing. I will continue the updates until the redness subsides. If anyone has any questions about the procedure or about Dr. Griffin, I will be glad to answer anything. Thanks for reading.

Default 6 days post op

Hello everyone, I am now 6 days post op and I have had barely any pain since day 2. I do feel some tightness in my scalp but nothing too terrible. I get my staples out tomorrow. Anyway, the main thing I am dealing with is the scabbing. It looks terrible, but hopefully it's a good sign on things to come in the coming months. Anyone have any idea from looking at this pic as to when the scabbing should subside?
