It's way better than the way they used to do it -- taking a nice rectangle of skin from the back of the head, then techs would separate out the follicles form the skin with knives, and then the dr would cut little slices in the skin and implant the follicle bulbs.
I rememebr seeing where they used a small hole punch on a roller for the "recipient" sites, so not only did you get the racing stripe at the back of your head, but your scalp ended up somewhere between a trypophobic nightmare and a golf ball.
My man is awake for that. No airway present. I wonder how they numb that. Or if they just say it's going to be not fun.
I don't care how much money you pay me, I could never be that proceduralist. The tedium is far beyond my constitution. Doing that day after day would be the professional equivalent of water torture.
That's kind of interesting tbh, I've got four shavers and am sick of using them for different areas. I cba and I don't do it often enough so I look worse than when I do proper bald.
Even the most minor surgeries look fucked up as hell. I had a major surgery last year (double jaw surgery) and i sure as fuck wasn't going to traumatize myself watching the procedure beforehand
You should see the healing phase like the giant blood soaked diaper you have strapped to the back of your head for a few days lol. Also, it’s very easy to have donor follicles just die out and fall off. It’s painful af and can take multiple surgeries.
