Can you talk about your recovery after the surgery. Any pain, lost grafts, swelling, etc
September 10, 2015
recovery was well. i actually did not sleep well for the following 4 days and one day was too exhausted. i did lose think about 2 grafts that i know about but the doctors said it would not be an issue. swelling : yeah a lot.. my whole face swelled up like three days after the surgery and did not want anybody to see me !!!my face gradually swelled up within three days. the third or fourth day it was at its peak and i stayed home from work but went down from there. i guess its true what they say: it gets worse before it gets better!! but now am growing the hairs even thou its this i can actually see hairs where i did not have any so that's a plus.

How is your sutureline looking? Can you post a picture of it? How soon did you return to work after the surgery? Could your co-workers tell you had a procedure?

Hi, you hair transplant procedure looks good, I am also planning to get hair transplant procedure done, I came across Dr. Bolton and read good reviews about him and saw lot of photos on his website it is very encouraging. I have a question though on your procedure did you get 10000 actual hairs or 10000 hair grafts? I am trying to analyze/guess my situation and approximate dollar value that will cost me. Your response is much appreciated. Thank you-VK

HI, vk2. It was 10,000 hairgrafts. Yes Dr. Bolton is pretty well recognized. While i was there there was a younger kid who flew out all the way from italy. i spoke to him before i went to do my procedure and he was pretty happy also that also encouraged me to continue with my procedure as that day i was actually there the day before my procedure to make up my mind to be sure before i went under the knife. His assistant josh was very helpful and has been in contact ever since the the procedure. Let me know if i can help you in anyway. I always available to help out as i needed someone when i was making my decision. Good luck

Hello, was the procedure painful and how long did it take? I too hate wearing hats all the time and it's beating me up emotionally. Tx.

I have been wearing a hat for over two years now...

I have been wearing a hat for over two years now and was just tired of having to wear a hat and just was not happy taking my hat off. I would not even want to go to parties because of me having no hair. So i decided to go go see Dr. Bolton after many months of researching online for the right doctor and speaking personally to a patient. I hope this will help people on their decision on getting a transplant after seeing my progress as i will be posting every week.

Do you have any before pics to post as well as pics of the suture line? I had a procedure done with Dr. Bolton back in January. Congrats, he does great work!
June 8, 2015
yes i will post the suture line pic today. How is your procedure working out? I did not see any pics of your operation. I did a lot of research on many doctors and I think Dr. Bolton was a good pick. i have seen many before and after pics and they came out great.
June 8, 2015
Just to add, his assistant Josh that i have been speaking to after the operation has been so attentive to my texts and even has replied to me at 11 at night. Now that i think is great service by this office.

Hello, I am looking for hair transplant procedure and read good reviews about Dr. Bolton. I have a question though is it 10000 hairs or 10000 hair grafts did you get? 10000 hair grafts seems a lot in one session. Your response is much appreciated. Thank you-VK

I had a consult at his office a year ago.
They don't charge by grafts they charge
by size of the strip. If you look on you tube
he says this over and over in his videos.
He doesn't count grafts but estimates
hairs by strip size and elasticity.

June 25, 2015
That's true and his estimate was 50CMx2 was approx 10,000... Did you do the procedure? after you saw him?
June 26, 2015
No he went insane at the time. I was going to book him but he went insane
due to mental issues. He started telling everyone he was Jesus. Google
it and you will see. He has gotten help seems to be doing better now
I wish him the best. ****Link Removed***

You know what i think is that you are just whats called a site jumper to make sure to let everyone know the bad times on professionals so no one goes to them. do you think i did not know about his problem,,jijiji... i knew about this problem before i even went to him but i went to him because of his experience and past results. The results i think speak for themselves and i am happy i did the operation and i am glad i did it with him despite his troubled past. i think everyone in life has a skeleton in the closet that they do not want anyone to know about. So whats your skeleton?? My mother thought me to keep my mouth shut if I knew something bad about a persons life. I guess your mom did not teach you the same. in any event the main point here was that i knew about it and i still went to him because of his professional results not his personal issues. I think tonight before you go to sleep you should pray and ask for forgiveness for just trying to put other people down. This is a site to show the results and how your procedure went not to throw dirty laundry around. The only reason i say you are probably a site jumper or maybe even a jealous competitor hair transplant doctor is because i do not see any of your posts to see any of any procedure you have done. Good day Doc!!!

Sorry you are wrong and you are the one giving dishonest information.
You did not get 10000 grafts he doesn't even count grafts. I was scheduled
with him when the before incident happened. Everything got cancelled
and this caused me a lot of problems. I am glad he seems to be doing better
but when it comes to medical procedures people need to know the truth
of what they are getting into and with who. I don't need to pray for forgiveness
for telling the truth. Bringing up your mother is childish. My concern is for
the patients not the doctor. The patient is the one in harms way. Unlike you
I am warning the potential patients what they are in for. His license was taken away
in Tennessee people have a right to know that, I will not comment on this topic
or in your thread again.

Hi ...I have done a massive amount of research..and it seems that $15000K for 10,000 grafts is VERY cheap...how come?
It seems to be between $3/4 to $12 per graft.

Agreed that is typically. I had 3k graphs done in New York City 3 yrs ago for a little over 11k. Most doctors seem to offer discounts when you get to 2-3k graph mega sessions. If its possible to get 10k graphs for $15k that is a deal.
Thanks for the update, I think your hair is filling in nicely, remember it can take as long at 18 months to see your final results. Hang in there :)
