You are kidding me... (Hair Transplant)

posted by benji, 11.08.2007, 22:11

They gave me anasthesia. I recieved Head Shots in the donor area, but dont remember about the recip area. I think I was shot up in the arm also, but cant remember. I was pretty drugged up, and maybe they just gave me some pills or shots (or both) along with the head shots. This is a decade ago.

The laser excision was touted as "state of the art" back then. I could really feel the cutting though, and had an image in my mind of a big sawbladed pizza cutter going over the right back side of my scalp. It hurt.


The guys who have claimed to just recieved a pill or two are recent surgeries Ive read about online, all FUE-style of course.




Im pretty sure almost every practice is using blades for strip excisions these days, as lasers seem to generate worse scars and can, of course, burn.



When I have run into guys who had work done in the eighties, Ive talked to some who have had the big plugs done Orentriech style. Now those were rough trade, and look it.


Surgery has come a long way.
