Black woman hair transplant Ft.Lauderdale with Dr.Siegel

Hello everyone. I have a hairline lowering a few years back because I felt my forehead was on the large side. Unfortunately the doctor didn’t make much of a difference and it left a scar on my forehead. I also did not get the result I wanted and felt my forehead was still on the wide side. I wanted baby hairs. I originally was planning to go overseas for my hair transplant procedure but after doing my research , I realized that it was too risky and I heard many horror stories about potential staph infections etc. I choose natural hair transplant because they work with my 4c texture hair , have good reviews and it’s close to home.

Due to the COVID pandemic , I was fearful of traveling from Texas to Florida , but luckily , I was able to change my flights so that I flew in less crowed planes. My flight to and from Miami we’re about 1/4 full, I had the row to myself on both flights. In the plane ride , I wore a surgical mask and kn95 ,gloves and googles, lol I was prepared, and had antibacterial wipes and hand sanitizer handy. The flight to and from was honestly way better of an experience than I expected.

(Surgical day)i arrived at the clinic, I was So nervous . They sat my down in a room and I filled out some paperwork. 30 mins later I saw dr .siegel. He was super nice . We had a consultation And he gave me post op instructions . And I showed him a picture of what I wanted. He expressed how he really wanted for me to be satisfied , which made me feel good.

Next I went Ito the surgical room, which was very clean . I was greeted by 3 techs, they were nice, funny and relatable. Super full of energy . Everyone had on masks. They laid me down in the chair, there was snacks, juices, water on a table just for me. Next was the worst part!they administered local anesthetia. It lasted for 10 minutes and it hurt a whole lot. They gave me breaks because I was on the verge of tears. It hurt a lot a lot, I hate needles omg. Yeah , not going to lie, it hurt like HELL lol . Then afterwards they checked to make sure I didn’t feel anything before they started the procedure. I was numbed up pretty good . They handed me a remote and allowed me to play music I like on their big tv lol . The whole time they joked with me, laughed and made time go by fast. During the procedure I didn’t have pain . Towards the end I started getting antsy. When the procedure was over, I grabbed the bag they gave me filled with pain meds, antibiotics, water spray, neck pillow etc and the doctors number for any questions . When I got back to casitas coral ridge, I started feeling the effects of the anesthesia going away. It hurt really bad , super painful, 1-10, about 10. I was on the verge of tears , I was told to ice the area, which I did , but didn’t help, it’s hard to get comfortable sleep the first night . I slept for2 hours the first night . The ibuprofen I was given , did not help lol the next day I woke up , ate breakfast, took my antibiotic and walked to target nearby and used the written prescription for the Norco the doctor prescribed ( you are free to use or not use ).usually I decline narcotics after procedures but this time I didn’t, it was much needed and helped with the pain a lot. That night I flew home. When I arrived at the airport, this sweet woman named star at the Miami airport who worked for American Airlines, helped me get wheelchair service , which was much needed! Someone checked on me hourly at the airport as well. It was lovely. When I flew home I felt much better with the prescribed med and fell asleep on the plane (which was pretty empty)

Day 3 pain is still here but 1-10 it’s. 6.5. I definitely love my hairline .im so excited to see how it looks when it fills in .i will update monthly.

The office staff has made the process smooth , and they provided great service

Make sure you bring a rolling suitcase, and bring everything you need . I found myself wishing I Brought more items . , I underpacked.
These are photos of day 2..but I am now on day 4. Pain is at a 6. The suture line hurts Still and it’s hard to get comfortable sleep, but I slept more than day 1-3. Yesterday I had Some puffiness under my eyes and swelling On my forehead ,it wasn’t too bad though. I will be so happy when the sutures come out lol

I am on day 5 and I feel okay. Pain level is still at a 6. The pain I feel is only located at the back of the head where the sutures were placed. During the day when I’m walking around , I don’t feel Too much pain if I’m on top of my pain regimen, I only take the strong stuff at night . I swapped out my neck pillow for one I have from TRAVELBLUE . Omg it is a life saver!!!!!!. So much more comfortable. . I feel some of my nerves waking up on my scalp . It’s a weird sensation lol but I’m glad they are returning. So far I’ve been following doctors order that were sent to me through my email. Everything is going very well
