Hair Transplant

[HairLost]

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.

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.

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?

11 days post-op

Hello, things are going pretty well at this time. The scabs have fallen off and now it feels like I have a buzzcut over the balding areas of my scalp. It feels really cool to have hair in these areas. I know I'm coming up on the graft shedding phase, but I'm enjoying feeling hair now. Anyways, I have had no more pain or any problems since my surgery and am slowly looking forwards to the weeks and months to come. Thanks everyone.

Two weeks post-op

Hello, I am now 2 weeks post op. My hair feels much better now. The scabs are completely gone. I got my hair trimmed today because I felt pretty stupid walking around with long hair and a bald spot in my head, haha. Anyways, just an update for anyone who is on the fence about this procedure. The girl that cuts my hair was talking about the hairs that were placed in my crown that are still on my scalp. She said some were close to 1/2 inch long now. I told her that those hairs would fall out, then grow back strong. Anyways, it has been a smooth two weeks. Thanks everyone.

I thought getting a hair transplant was going to be a bigger deal than it is turning out to be.

Great results!!!
Did you evaluate Dr. Anderson or Dr. Cole, both in Atlanta before choosing Dr. Griffin? Also, I am looking at about the same amount of grafts and wanted to know if you would mind sharing the cost of your procedure.

One month post-op

Hello everyone, I am now one month post-op from my HT. All of my transplanted hairs have fallen out and I think I have experience some shedding as my hair feels and looks thinner (in my opinion). But things have gone well, I haven't had any problems with pain or anything like that. I truly wish I had a time machine because as much as I try to forget about it, I always keep hoping for that donor hair to start growing. I posted a few pics because I really want to look back and see the transformation when it finally happens. Thanks everyone.

The waiting is the hardest part. It totally stinks. The best thing you can do for yourself is focus on something else.

It would be a good idea to only take photos once a month, once every two months or once every three months. The more time between photos, the more difference you will see.

Thanks, I only plan to take pics at each month now. I just wanted to show the progression in the first month. I appreciate the advice and encouragement.

2 months post op

Hello everyone, I am now two months post op from my HT. I have been focusing on other things and have stopped looking in the mirror as much. There has been no growth nor any new changes in my opinion. I have had some itching around the donor area and have noticed several pimples on top of my scalp. I am posting some pics, straight out of the shower, with towel dried uncombed hair. Thanks to everyone who posts here, I am hoping that in the coming months I will see some growth.
