Last week i got my first procedure done by Dr. Rose at Shapiro medical Centre. Went for 2000 grafts but Dr. Rose was able to extract 2294 grafts. A nice little bonus.
The break up was:
1 hair = 571 grafts
2 hair = 1165 grafts
3 hair = 489 grafts
4 hair = 69 grafts

From a procedural point, i should say that it was a fabulous experience. Felt no pain at all(that was my biggest concern after all!) Dr. Rose is a great doctor,very helpful, gentle and an down-to earth person. Matt is an great resource and the staff was very cooperative and helpful. All in All a very great experience.i am resting comfortably now and i have had slight swelling on the forehead. i have been diligently applying icepacks and thanks to all the previous helpful postings on this board, i was prepared for it.!
I am enclosing my pre and post-op photos immediately after the procedure. All comments and suggestions are most welcome.
Thanks, guys for all the encouragement and i know now comes the hardest part! Waiting for the hair to grow!!!
