I can see why you're freaking out, but as I understand it, everyone responds differently. I think cases of hair not growing at all or very little are ver rare. Here's a thread where a guy was thinking about legal action. Take a look at the repsonses too. Who was your Doctor...

zak 84, I think anyone considering a hair transplant should research the subject for a minimum of 6 months before making a decision. There are a lot more bad doctors out there than there are good ones. I know, went to Bosley medical in the early 90's and I 've been trying to fix it ever since...

Since there was such an overwhelming response, I thought I'd let you guys know that I put a few new pics on the thread. 10 days post-op.

I just had a repair procedure with Dr. Hasson on Monday, August 25th. I don't know how to post pictures on this website so I'll just include a link to another forum that has the pics/info. http://www.hair-restoration-info.com/6/ ... 9976063014

Swelling is quite common. Some get it- some don't. I am surprised that you're getting you're stitched out on day 7. I thought it was always 10 to 14 days after surgery. Whatever the case, follow the docs orders. He knows his methods best. I bet you'l be relieved when you get them out. I just had...

Eddie, You mentioned Hair Club for Men. Is that the same organization from years ago that did hair pieces? Not that it matters, just curious. All that matters is that got a good surgeon doing state of the art techniques. One other thing, are you taking Propecia? It seems that most doctors...

I don't believe I've ever heard of someone's body rejecting the grafts. I have heard of one guy that had a transplant, and those grafts fell out a couple of years later. I guess maybe they took the grafts from an area that was genetically "programmed" to fall out. I don't know. Who was your...

Good luck on your surgery tommorrow! I hope you get some sleep tonight. Keep us posted.

There is an article at http://www.hassonandwong.com/ under "special topics" that talks about shock loss & post op redness. I was told that my staples will come out in 10 to 14 days. I think many people take one week off. You should be fine.

smeerdude, Good luck on your procedure! Who's your surgeon? I am also having a 3000 graft procedure on Monday with Dr. Hasson. I'm ready to roll.

kaya, I just responded to you on another thread. I have no expirience with NHI in Jersey. Is that Dr. Bernstein? Or is he in New York? I can tell you this, I had work done with NHI in LA in '95 & '96 to camoflauge some bad work from Bosley. They work was pretty good for the time, but they...

losing 21, Most of the good doctors will probably tell you that you're too young to get hair transplant's. The reason is that if you're losing hair at age 21, you're highly likey to lose more. There are plenty of doctors that will be willing to take your money, with no concern for you future. If you have...

Eddie, Congrats! I'm glad to hear that you had an all F.U. procedure. You'll be looking like a million bucks when it grows in! Kaya, Please take your time with this decision. Remember, this is permanent surgery. There are a lot of bad doctors out there. There are a lot of good ones too...

Hey Sal1, How ya' doin'? It's been a while since I've been around here. I bet your hair is looking great these days! Congrats! rhdd, In the hands of the right surgeon, your scar could be as small as 1mm, or even less. In the wrong hands, I've seen them as big as 1cm. I have an upcoming...

Chris23, The first thing that you need to do is take some digital pictures of your hair and email them to the top docs. Being 23, there's a good chance that they'll tell you to get on Propecia and not get a hair transplant at your age. I started getting transplants at your age and if I had to...
