I'm writing a review like this after finishing the transplant that I've always been thinking about in winter. Each hospital requests a review and gives free gifts, but I will write it with as honest as possible so that it can help others choose. I live abroad, so I had to get surgery quickly while I went to Korea for a while. Of course, I couldn't go on a tour to visit hospitals and estimate and receive counseling. So, I summarized the famous hospitals on the bulletin board here and some of the sites, and I compared each of the features in the hospital's home blood, the surgical procedures, the strengths. I've read a lot of reviews of the surgery, and honestly, it seems that Hair Transplant surgery capabilities have been leveled at different hospitals to some extent, and although there are differences in detail, I haven't found a very big difference. I had to make a decision anyway, and I came to a conclusion with a focus on 'experience'. I thought the hospital that did a lot of surgery would have know-how, and the director's direct procedure came to me greatly, so I decided to proceed with the surgery through parent plastic surgery. (In fact, due to the nature of the transplant surgery, it is not possible to evaluate the level or skill of other hospitals because they have undergone surgery and cannot be compared.) The cost of surgery was the highest among several hospitals compared (but not a big difference), but it was considered reasonable to pay more because it was a concept of a special visit to the director of a recognized hospital. (However, I also thought that the total number of procedures was smaller than that of a large hospital with several doctors, so the accumulation of surgical data and improvement may be slow. Well, based on various data, doctors may lack the aspect of exchanging information and finding ways to improve it. In the end, there is chapter one, step one, and the choice will be up to the consumer.)The day of the surgery was so hectic. In my case, it was a mass transplant, so there was no patient other than me on the day of surgery, and it took about 5 hours starting from lunch. It's a partial haircut, but it was collected by pushing the side and the back of the hair short, and it was moved to the front while being hung up by anesthesia. I hardly felt any pain, but I couldn't bear the smell of blood because of the continuous bleeding from the collection;;After the surgery, I spent a day in the hospital room, and the next day, I got a simple measure from the nurse and even shampooed and discharged. In fact, it was very difficult to sleep on the first night, but in my case, it was a mass transplant, so I couldn't lie down properly on my head because the larynx was wide. Besides, it's constantly dripping and even a little blood lasts for two or three days, so I almost turn my head sideways and sleep.. (The hospital gave me several blue sheets for pillow cover when I was discharged, but it didn't help much because they were made of non-woven fabric that didn't absorb well. Later, I bought and used antibacterial gauze and disposable pure cotton towels. This is much more helpful. If the hospital checks this, it's something I want to improve.)Two days after discharge, it was my departure day, so I had to wear a beanie on my head and get on the plane, but since that day, my face has been swollen a lot. Even though I used a lot of cold compresses for two days with an ice pack, it swelled up for about four to five days, starting with my forehead, maybe because I was under anesthesia a lot. When I asked the hospital, they said it was a common symptom, and the notice I received when I was discharged also explained about face swelling. However, even though I used ice packs as much as possible, I couldn't avoid swelling.. (The amazing thing is that the swelling started with the forehead, followed by the eyes, nose, and mouth, and eventually came down to the lower jaw and then disappeared.). If you take a day off and decide to operate, you need to have at least five days after the surgery to manage the swelling comfortably. Washing my hair was also quite stressful, but I was told not to touch the transplant area for about two weeks. However, there was no way to remove it because there was a lump in the transplant site after surgery. In the end, I had no choice but to gently flush it with water for nearly a week, and after about 10 days, I had no choice but to drop it because it was called water as well as a scab sitting on the pores of the transplant. I think this period was the hardest. It's not a pain, but I have to spend almost two weeks in a squishy state.. Then, around the third week, the transplant mothers began to be eliminated one by one. The notice also said that in two to four weeks, the transplant hair falls off and new hair grows only three to four months later. It's the beginning of what we call the dark ages.. The transplant hair was about 1-2mm at the time of the transplant, but when I dropped out, it grew very slightly.. If you wash your hair lightly or wake up in the morning and wash your hair, you'll see your hands dropㅜ Now that time is the answer, I have to wait..The details of the progress and contents in the reviews here seem to be lacking, so I wrote down the situation immediately after the surgery in as much detail as possible. I had a hard time from the first night of surgery, and I was actually worried because there were many things I didn't know, such as swelling and difficulty washing my hair. Everyone else moves on without any problems, but I think my situation is a little bad, so I've got an old sense of frustration. By the way, they all occurred within the contents and symptoms of the hospital notice, and the time of removal of the transplant hair was exactly 3 to 4 weeks as the notice said. I'm sure each person has their own differences. (Some people seem to have seen the transplant hair end without being eliminated..) If you think about it objectively, it's a big surgery, but I also think it was too easy to judge. As a result, my mindset was a little bit unprepared, and I think that's why I was worried about small changes.. I think it is also a good way to inform you in detail about the situation you experience after surgery at the hospital. That way, I think patients will be able to take the situation much more naturally and insignificantly, and eventually, it will be easier for the hospital to manage patients afterwards..(In fact, I kept asking about my situation on Kakaotalk for two days after I was discharged, but I was rather relieved that the hospital said it was not a big deal and it was a normal situation.). I thought there might be some people like me who are worried about the progress of the surgery, so I tried to revive my memory as much as possible. Elaborate judgment can only be estimated after six months. Horoscopes are supposed to be given in the review, but I think this should also be lowered from 6 months later. I'm a non-smoker, and I've been sober since right after my surgery. I'm going to take care of my health at least until new hair comes up. Everything is precious, and new hair will come up strong only when your body is in good condition I'll post the progress in detail from time to time. If any of you who are reading have similar or other experiences, please add them in the comments. It was a long article. Thank you. (I'm also attaching a picture. However, please note that it may be disgusting because it is a surgical site.)
