Photos will not be returning

I have suffered from balding in the front and sides of my hairline better known in the African American community as "no edges" for several years now. It was caused by me and poor hairstyle choices when I was young. It has lowered my self esteem immensely!!!! This year I will no longer hide behind wigs. I am a Veteran of The United States Navy and one of the things I miss dearly is swimming! I want to be able to swim FREELY without a swim cap and put my hair up in a ponytail. The little things that seems like it wouldn't be a big deal would definitely be for me! My husband is the only person who has seen my hair. I have been telling him I wanted to find a surgeon to restore my hairline. He knows how much this effects me so he supports me all the way (which feels great)! It was important to me to find the right doctor. The right doctor would be someone who is well experienced with not only women's transplant surgery but dealing with ethnic hair as well. I saw a review of Dr. Frank's work and said to myself HE'S MY DOCTOR!! He is very polite and professional and knowledgeable. He told me that it was refreshing to have a patient who has done extensive research such as myself. And I sure have!!! When you are having elective surgery on your face, you MUST make sure the Doctor you select is right for you! I will upload photos and give a detailed account of my experience next week. God Bless you all :)

So when I first arrived at 8am, I filled out my consent forms and medical history. Then Dr. Frank gave me 2 pills for relaxation and discomfort. Once I was done my paperwork he took a lot of photos of my hair and head and together we agreed on hairline that would be best for the results I wanted to achieve. Then we went to another room where they had me lay down on my stomach so they could start the numbing process. I was so nervous but to my surprise is was not uncomfortable at all. The staff made me feel so at ease and we talked and laughed throughout that portion of the procedure. The most I felt was a little tugging and pressure. After that I was asked what I wanted for lunch. While waiting for the next phase in the process, I watched a movie on Netflix.. Now it's time to start on the front of my head. They numbed me all across my hairline and then began to make the incisions for placing. That part of the process was more bare able than I imagined. Placing the bulbs took the longest and it's because they wanted to place them as natural as possible and as full and possible. I am completely satisfied with the process so far. Now it time to take a nap and heal! have a great weekend everyone!
