6228 grafts with Dr. Rahal
Got my transplant done on Nov 8th 2010 by Dr. Rahal (in Ottawa).
Grafts details:
Total grafts: 6228
1’s – 835
2’s – 3508
3’s – 1792
4’s – 93
Total hairs: 13599
The entire procedure went from 6h45am until around 7pm which I understand is relatively fast for such a large number of grafts.
The procedure itself was long but relatively painless (thank you local anesthetic) although my neck got pretty sore after so much time laying back. But the staff was realy nice and accomodating so overall I had a very positive experience. I brought two DVDs to pass time but ended up being too dizzy to complete the second one.
The first night was not so good and I didn't manage to get any sleep. It was the dizziness and neausea which kept me awake more than the actual pain. (I ended up vomiting several times during the night.) The fact that you can't lay down to sleep didn't help either.
I felt much better the next day and went for a checkup. They removed the bandages and things look okay but now the face swelling started.
After 2 days the pain is almost gone and I don't need painkillers anymore. Went to see Dr Rahal for another follow up and it looks like the healing process is going fine so far.
Going back on Friday for another checkup. In the meantime, it's mainly a matter of resting (at a 45 degree angle), doing the proper hair washing steps and taking the medication.

After 10 days
Hi folks,
It's been 10 days and I got a checkup with Dr. Rahal today. He told me that things are looking very good and on track. Getting the sutures removed next Monday and I'm really looking forward to this milestone.
I will post updated pictures when I have some.

It's been a bit more than 3 weeks and here are some pictures taken earlier today. As you can see, as expected, lots of the hairs (and scabs) have fallen off by now.
Dr. Rahal said that everything looks good so now it's really just a matter of waiting. Really looking forward to see how things progress over the next months!
