Hi everyone
My name is Kris Aaron. I had surgery done 2 weeks ago at the Colorado Institute of Hair in Denver CO. The results look good, so far as I can tell, but some of the side effects of the surgery are driving me bonkers. I had about 2500 grafts put in, and the loss of sensation in the area is bothering me. I don't mind pain so much, but was unprepared for how much the numb feeling bothers me. I also sustained some nerve damage right above the donor area, in the back of the head, and that area is also completely numb. I went ahead with the surgery at this place which advertises $2 a graft, because a number of people including folks on this site said they had sound techniques, and the doctors do good work, and the testimonials for them are all good. A+ rating from BBB, checked all this out. The downside is, the doctor who did the work is not the person I interact with after the surgery. It is the "director", Chris M, who is not a doctor, and has the manner of a car salesman, and I just don't know what I think of him. He says everything is fine, great, and the sensation will come back eventually. So please don't say, ask the doc! I think the lack of a doctor always on the premises is why it is cheaper, which is great. Only way I could afford to get this done. But, would appreciate hearing your stories on this, and whether the lack of sensation could be permanent. Thanks.
