    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.

    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?

    Default 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.

    Default 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.
