Dr. Jones' Hair Transplant Center BlogPaul
Thursday, June 14, 2007
 It has been over one year since my surgery and I'm glad I did it. I wasn't happy with the hair loss and I don't even want to think what it might have looked like had I not taken this step. The picture is from April. It hasn't changed all too much since then but I will post a picture from June. There is a definite difference from having it done. Most of the areas I wanted addressed were. The front could use more as it stills looks a little thin but that is only because I lost what& nbsp;I was going to anyway, so what is there is mostly transplanted. Not one person has even had the slightest idea that I had this done. I am going to have another session, time and finances permitting. Thanks again to Dr. Jones and his staff for their caring, and understanding. 0 comments - 1 Year

  Since my last update, which was quite some time ago, I have returned of course to doing everything. The first few weeks I returned to hockey weren't too bad. Wearing a helmet did not bother me all that much. I was able to wear a hat at work so nobody knew anything even when I would by chance have it off. There wasn't much shock loss to speak of. I cut my hair short in July and it was weird to see a hairline again. No problem as far as the scar is concerned, it has healed nicely. I did use minoxidil as recommended for the first few weeks and not since. I did not like it at all. I also have used Dr. Jones' treatment as well which is by far better and I'm not just saying that because it's his. It really is better. But as usual I do tend to get lazy with things of that sort and I haven't used it in a bit. Since I haven't updated for some time I had a chance to go back and see my progress in the pictures . I was surprised to see how far I've come along. I guess when you see it everyday you tend to not notice. There is a noticeable amount of thickness that I haven't had in such a long time. It may not look like it in some of the pictures but for what has come in thus far I can definitely tell. I still do have a bit of "numbness" or something along the lines of that in a small area. It still looks a little sparse in the front which bothers me because I was hoping that would fill in more than it has but I am in my 32nd week and can't wait to see how much more I progress because I have read that it can take up to a year for full results. I will try to be more timely with my updates. 0 comments - 8 1/2 months

   Days 1 - 24: 2982 grafts- strip method. The procedure itself was not bad at all. There were1500 grafts placed in the front and then the rest continued on to the crown.I just felt like my head was fat and I had a bit of a stiff neck from sitting there. No real pain. That night was a little hard to sleep. Still didn't feel any pain. Followed the post-op instructions. I had some swelling on my forehead and slight bruising as well. That lasted for about the first week. I returned to work five days later but only performed light duty. I scabbed up pretty good also. The stitches were out on the 12th day; It felt great to have them out. I experienced some shock loss right around the 15th day. I started losing my scabs around the 22nd day only because I wasn't using full pressure when I was showering. I was a little paranoid I guess of ripping anything out. I do recommend having short hair when having the procedure done. As you can see from my pictures I do not. This is a bit of a hassle when showering because of scabs getting caught up in it. It also looks worse because of the shock loss, but that should hopefully be backin a month or so from whatI understand. Now like Dr. Jones has said, I too am in the waiting period. My head is still a little numb but that gets better everyday and the scar itches. Other than that everything is fine up to this point. The only thing I haven't returned to is playing hockey which I am doing this week. I'm a little worried about wearing a helmet. 0 comments - Paul, Days 1-24
