Hair Transplant Dr Glenn Charles

[DSDoc]

Hey everyone,

New to this forum but wanted to share my experience with others. I researched this like my life depended on it, for 1 whole year before deciding to have the procedure done. I am two days post op, after having 2611 Grafts tranplanted to my frontal area. I chose Dr.Charles after consulting with a bunch of other docs. I chose one of the recommended docs, simply because I felt that the results were proven. The one thing I liked was the fact that before my procedure, I called the clinic multiple times with a billion questions, but never was I treated as a nuisance, they were always happy to answer my questions. Dr.Charles called me personally from his cell phone while I was still on the fence about who to go with.

Heres a rundown of everything that happened, so others who are in the same position can have some advice.

I booked the surgery, and flew in the night before. Dr Charles called to make sure I had gotten in ok, and gave me a few directions and told me to rest properly

The morning of, I arrived, dressed like a scrub (comfortably). I signed in, and then met with Dr Charles. He explained all the meds he wanted me to take (Valium and an antibiotic). He went over some paperwork and the hairline before he told me to take the meds. We went back and forth a little and came up with a hairline that we could both agree upon.

We then proceeded to the operating area. I was presented with a list of movies, while chatting it up with the technicians. This is where the most pain came in: ANESTHESIA. This was the worst part, but it luckily only lasted a few minutes. Afterwards, I didnt even know what was happening back there since I wasnt feeling anything. Things were moving a lot faster than I imagined. I even got to check out the strip before they started disecting it. It seemed like we were all enjoying the movie and having a good time.

While the grafts were being disected, Dr charles was making his incisions on the hairline. This was weird because I could feel the incisions being made, but I couldnt feel any pain whatsoever because the anesthesia was working. Every time I did feel ANYTHING, the whole crew paused and the area in question was immediately attended to.

Next, came lunch. Enjoyed a great lunch while catching up on sportscenter.

After lunch, the technicians began placing the grafts. Dr Charles had made all the incisions, so the grafts could only go in one way and there was no room for error. Even then, Dr Charles came in multiple times to check to make sure everything was going according to plan. At this point, we were on movie number 2.

That was basically the end of the procedure, and I was impressed with the total result at the end of the day. The hairline was EXACTLY what we had drawn, and I booked an appointment to come in the next day for a hair wash.

Ill keep updating for the first couple of days as far as my progress is concerned. Hope this helped some people.
