Hello, it's already been day 2 since the hair transplant. Before the memory disappears, I'll quickly write a detailed review.
The reason I was thinking about hair transplantation was because of my wide forehead and deep M shape. My boyfriend had an incision in his hair about three years ago because of the same concern, and when I looked at the back of his hair, I noticed a white line. Above all, I was reluctant to make an incision because of my bad flesh on keloid skin (I've had multiple bursts of sutures after laparoscopic surgery before).
Although the incision is cheaper than the incision, in the long run, I thought I might regret it because of the scar, so I decided to do it in Apgujeong Mammoth Hair Restoration Center, which specializes in non-excision.
The reason why I chose Apgujeong Mammoth Hair Restoration Center is as follows.
1. 2. Specialized hospital that only has non-intercepts 3. Most expensive price 4. Doctor's expertise 5. Many long-term reviews without advertising comments were expensive, but after more than an hour of consultation, I decided to have surgery on the day of consultation because my Mammoth Hair Restoration Center to Nam Da-woo and Mammoth increased and I was confident that it would be worth paying this price.
I had a pre-surgery inquiry, so whenever I contacted you via Kakao Talk or phone, you answered me kindly and in detail, so I was able to stay comfortable until the surgery day.
In the review below, I wrote down the details of the day of surgery honestly and meticulously, which many people would be curious about (actually, these are the parts I was curious about while looking up the review). I wrote down my own tips, so it's a long article, but it'll be useful.
[The morning of the surgery] I went to the hospital after referring to the precautions you gave me on the day of the surgery. After paying the balance (such as washing my hair, wearing clothes that are easy to take off, not using hair products, etc.) the employee took me to the waiting room and relaxed me by telling me whether I was nervous or whether I brought an umbrella because it was raining later.
They prescribed painkillers and antihistamines for me as a postoperative medicine, but it was convenient for me to go to the pharmacy instead if I left my card.
You said you would provide drinks before the surgery and prepare lunch after collection, so I looked at the menu and chose drinks and menus.
When you change clothes in the waiting room, they set up drinks and cookies. My mouth was dry because I was nervous, but it got better after drinking water and charging sugar. After that, I took my blood pressure and went into the operating room.
* I recommend you to wear a hooded zip-up during surgery. It was nice to be able to change and cover your beanie when you go home.
[Design] I design with the director before surgery.
I didn't just hold the forehead line with a full-length mirror as tall as me, but I carefully checked the overall ratio, symmetrical, and if there was anything more to reinforce, and I took pictures after designing it.
After deciding to maintain the hair (v-shaped) and fine hair in the center, he drew the final design in purple, green, and red, and he said he would transplant hair follicles with 1 hair and 2/3 hair follicles according to the hairline and boundary.
Since the hairline should be natural, it should be denser as it goes deeper, so transplantation was carried out mainly on 2/3 hairline.
[Laughing anesthesia] Lie down on the operating table, cut your back hair, lie straight, cover your eyes with an eye patch, and put an anesthetic hose in your mouth.
The director said that if you slowly inhale and feel drunk, you will be anesthetized, but at first, I wondered if this was right for anesthesia, but soon my whole body tingled as if I had drunk a lot.
I didn't feel like throwing up because I was dizzy, but I felt like my tension was relieved and my senses were dull. If you raise your hand a little, the director gives you local anesthesia, and it stings a little. However, it was less painful than Botox, so it was okay because it hurt less, and I kept breathing laughing gas even during local anesthesia.
Since then, the surgery has been carried out with local anesthesia removed from the hose, and the laughing gas anesthesia has been broken quickly (in about a minute), so it was good because it didn't seem to strain the body.
[Slit] I was doing the slit, and there was really no pain. It felt like you were putting your hand on your head, there was no stabbing, and there was no pain at all. I wondered if I didn't have to be this sick.
I knew that it was state-of-the-art equipment because you explained it to me during the consultation, but I heard a machine sound that told me if there was a machine that counted the number of slits. It was so cool.
You adjusted the height and angle of the operating table and proceeded carefully, and the slit ended quickly. Seeing that he quickly and elaborated more than 1,000 slits, I thought he was a veteran as well.
Even after the slit, he checked once more whether the line was okay or not, but he looked at it from afar and looked closely.
* The area dyed blue in the picture is the maintenance boundary area of the baby hair, and the area dyed purple is the hairline area.
[Collection] After I went to the bathroom after the slit, I took a break in the waiting room and started collecting.
Even before collection, local anesthesia is performed after laughter gas anesthesia. Laughter gas anesthesia was easy because it was done once before the slit, and local anesthesia stung a little more at the collection site than at the transplant site.
When collecting, I had to lie on my stomach and my face was pressed, so it was more difficult than slits, but there was no pain at all. I can only hear the sound of the machine from time to time, and I don't feel like the device penetrating the scalp. It just feels like the instrument is touching and then falling.
At one point, I opened my eyes and found myself sleeping. I just woke up after a good night's sleep, but it was good that the collection was done.
* When local anesthesia stings too much, it is recommended to inhale laughter gas slowly and deeply. You can breathe deeply, anesthetize, and kill two birds with one stone.
[Lunch] After collecting it, I went into the waiting room and the menu I told you about this morning was set up.
After enjoying my lunch, I even brushed my teeth with the disposable toothpaste toothbrush set you put in the waiting room, and I was careful that I might run into someone else when I went to the bathroom, but I didn't run into anyone.
And when I went back and forth, the employee responded carefully, so I felt comfortable.
[Transplant] We don't do laughter gas anesthesia before transplantation. There was already enough local anesthesia, and the director checked my pain frequently and added local anesthesia, so I didn't need laughing gas.
The transplant was also pain-free at all. I'm not even in pain, but I really didn't feel any pain, and I just felt the director's hand touch me. It was amazing how you could proceed so quickly without getting sick.
Likewise, during transplantation, the height and angle of the operating table are adjusted several times and operated. I just have to lie still and it's over. I even think I can get another surgery like this.
And before you completely finish the transplant, please check it thoroughly once more.
[Wrapping up] After the surgery, they show me the mirror, and I felt good because I didn't have frog eggs and the transplant seemed to go well.
My face and forehead were a little swollen, but I thought I couldn't help it because it was right after the surgery.
Before moving to the waiting room, he applied ointment to the transplant and collection area, wrapped it in a bandage, and put a black beanie on it, and a staff member explained a neck pillow, shampoo, spray, and warranty card in a large shopping bag.
I felt a little dizzy after it was over. Maybe because of the anesthesia, I felt heavy in my head, but it wasn't too bad, so I got home safely by subway.
I was worried that I would feel pain when the anesthesia was lifted, but I was able to sleep without taking antihistamines because there was no pain and no itching.
I couldn't sleep completely well because Vinny was frustrated and woke up while sleeping.
Still, I didn't feel uncomfortable because of the pain or itching.
[Summary] 1. It doesn't hurt too much.
: There was no pain at all during surgery, and it stung during local anesthesia, but it was as painful as a Botox injection needle for me.
2. Surgery is generally comfortable, but it is the hardest to collect.
: This is because you have to stay for more than an hour with your face pressed.
3. The shampoo method, which should be done for two weeks after surgery, is not as difficult as you think.
: The day after the surgery, I learned how to shampoo and tried shampooing myself for the first time today, and it was easier than I was worried.
4. If you have bangs, you can't see the surgery.
: I brushed my bangs to the side because I was afraid I would touch the transplant area while combing my hair, but it still doesn't show. The collection area is also covered on the back of the head, so you can't tell.
I would like to conclude the review and sincerely thank Director Nam Da-woo and the staff for their hard work for a long time.
I just stayed still, but the director and the staff moved non-stop, and in the meantime, they took care of me carefully to see if I was uncomfortable or sick.
I could feel that all the employees, including the director, were paying great attention to me in detail. As it is the most expensive and the best place in Korea, I felt that I was glad to have surgery in Mammoth Hair Restoration Center.
