I did the procedure to improve looks, I did not like the way I appeared before the surgery. On the positive side my frontal view is much better and people have noticed and complimented me on that. The down side is being careful after surgery.

I recently had my 3rd hair transplant, as of Dec.4 I am 6 wks post-operative. I had no discomfort for 3 wks and took only 2 pills given for pain and that was within 48 hrs of the procedure. Recently I started feeling some low grade head pain that changes location and its on and off. Not really a classic headache, more like a throb or head pressure. Could this be due to the transpant surgery, and if a nerve was damaged would I be in constant pain? I had the follicular unit transplant and had staples used at the donor site. thank you for your help

I would say I am 60% satisfied with the 3 hair transplants. The crown area is still bare though and may require a 4th procedure but I am indecided about that presently. It appears the head pain was not associated with the transplant procedure.
Everyone should realize when you are at least a level 6 on the baldness scale as I was you have lost at least 50,000 individual hairs and it will take more than one transplant to make a difference.

Great review?
