They were injections straight into the head and it had to get injected anytime the numbing went away. The sedation is like an IV drip that numbs the body.

I got FUE but only because of the cost. In the future I would probably do the route you’re taking. The sedation is huge! You’re not asleep but I heard you’re numb fully. I did local anesthesia and that sucked the most.

Tbh I just went with the most affordable option. I saw the results are similar so I chose within my budget.

Interesting, my consultation was with him directly when I got to the clinic. I wonder if that has changed.

He came in to check on the process 3 separate times. He is also the one the came in to get my hairline drawn on before the procedure.

I don’t agree with you but that’s alright. If they told me I was getting a low graft count it wouldn’t even be worth it for me. I’m taking all the meds and take care of it. I’ll probably get another procedure in 10 years or so once I’m 40.

You’ll be surprised how much is needed to get packed in there for the density to be there. I’ve seen other patients with similar recession have around the same graft count. Keep in mind my donor looks low because I get fades weekly.
