Just got a hair transplant (in LA,) Im excited to see what my new hairline will look like in the coming months.
I received 1200 grafts @ $3000 even. Alot of the price is to call in the staff so if you can notify them that you have another friend/family member interested it is a good option coordinate it to lower costs. It would have to be a back-to-back procedure for both of you in smaller offices. We got a $1000 discount on both of ours ($3000/each.) Normally it would be around $4000-5000 in LA.
In the image my existing hair looks very thin but that is because of the swelling, my forehead is kinda bloated with fluid. I had a shit ton of lidocaine that wore off very quickly in that area, the doctor said that my metabolism was very fast so it hurt like a bitch getting the grafts implanted. I dont remember the duration but I think it was a bout 6 hours for mine to be complete.
If you're interested in hair transplantation but very high-inhib, you can opt for a Tentative Consultation, where the consultation precedes the procedure the same day. You make your decision in the office before you are sent to the get the procedure done. There they'll roughly draw in you hairline as an estimation prior to the doctor making his own finalized estimation. They'll make suggestions but its ultimately up to you what you want. I have a slightly lopsided frontal bone so I knew I cant be 100% symmetrical.
So far, seeing the scabbed area simulating what my hairline will be like, rounding the corner of my temples makes my forehead area looks SO MUCH MASCULINE. Its hairline like im 21 again (age 29.)
Fuck yeah!
MSE was less painful than this though ironically. I went in willy nilly which was a mistake since I thought the local anesthetic would stick around longer in the frontal implantation. Fast metabolizers beware!
You have to sleep upright for a few nights and cannot touch the implanted hairs, they are very fragile. Pain subsides after a day with meds. Now I just cant fuck up protecting my hair with upkeep of post-op stuff through theses weeks and I am including Saw Palmetto supplements. Staff didnt really believe in Finasteride which was a relief to me.
Hope this was useful information.
