主题:first FUE, you can only hope you made the right choice in time
第一次植发,你只能期待在对的时间做了对的事情
well its done.
我做完手术了。
7K
7000.
What started a bit over 1000 grafts quickly multiplied.
这让超过1000个移植的毛囊开始快速地复制生长。
Its a funny thing listening to all these surgeons talk about grafts and hair counts. Some say a hair is a graft other say a full follicle is a graft even if it has 3 hairs, but then some will still slice that up into 3 separate hairs. I got all sorts of funny explanations.
听那些手术医生聊到移植啊发量之类还挺好笑的。有的说一根头发算是一单位移植,有的说一个毛囊算是一单位移植,哪怕里面有3根头发,不过之后有些医生还是会把毛囊分解成3根分开的头发。所有好笑的解释我都听过了。
To me this is such a weird medical field where the rules are only subject by the surgeons imagination.
对我来说,这就是一个奇怪的医学领域,这里的规则都是按照医生的想象来制定的。
As some may have read my write ups on the consults I finally did it.
有些人可能读过我之前写的关于植发咨询的文章,我最后还是去植发了。
I went on about half a dozen consults and kept going back to these guys
http://www.nehair.com/
我大概做过半打咨询,最后我一直回去找这些专家:http://www.nehair.com/
Im glad I did BUT STILL the night before was torture.
做了手术挺开心的,不过手术前一天晚上还是很煎熬。
Am I making the right decision?
Will I be happy?
Am I spending the money right?
Will this even help?
Will I end up WORSE off?
我做了正确决定吗?我会不会开心?这钱花得值不值?到底有没有用?会不会最后结果更糟糕?
I mean we were even expecting a blizzard up here the day after my procedure (I dont like calling it surgery, getting a heart changed is surgery, this is a "procedure", no more than getting teeth veneers but on your head). Is that a sign?
I woke up at 4am, not that nerves actually let me sleep, to get ready and drive to MA for this by 7am. My GF opted to stay behind since she is terrified of driving in the snow and getting caught in a blizzard on the way home the next day. I dont blame her she would have just stressed me driving, her words.
我的意思是说,做完这个过程之后那天这边甚至马上要来一场暴风雪了。(我不喜欢把它叫做手术。换心脏可以叫做手术,这个应该叫做“过程”,并不比牙齿矫正更严重,只不过是在头上做而已)这算是一个预示吗?
我早上4点就醒了(后面一句没懂),做好准备然后7点开车去MA那里。我女朋友选择了呆在家里,因为她特别害怕在雪里开车然后被暴风雪困住,第二天早上才能回家。我不怪她,我开车的时候她说的话还会让我更紧张。
I drove all the way there and still had doubts, still sat there holding the pen for signatures like I was signing away my kidney from a lost bet. I sat there for 45 minutes talking with Tan and texting my GF. There was this hesitation but also the knowledge I would always be pissed I didnt TRY to do something (FIN was awful for me, check out the sides forum for something Im going to post there I think I have recently figured out). I signed, got changed and was off.
我开了一路,到了那里仍然有疑惑,坐在那里拿着笔迟迟没签字,就好像我是打赌输了要签字取肾似的。我在那里坐了45分钟,跟Tan说话,给女朋友发短信。我很犹豫,但也知道如果我没有试着做点什么的话我一定会非常沮丧(FIN对我来说非常糟糕,可以去论坛看看我马上要发的帖子,我觉得我最近想明白了)我签了字,做出了改变,然后结束了。
It started with Dr Tan and the medical assistant shaving my donor area conservatively so my overgrown hair would flap over the shaved spot hiding it.
He made two thinner lines across the back of my head. One above the other.
sorry image is to big to embed.

开始的时候,Tan医生和医学助手把我要提供毛囊的部分剃掉了一点,这样我长长的头发可以盖住剃掉的部分。他在我后枕处剃出两条细细的线,一条在上一条在下。抱歉图太大了传不上来。
this pic shows one of the two lines while the flap cover the other one.
这个图能看到其中一条线,另外一条被头发挡住了。
after the removal they had me roll over and started insertion of the hairs in my temples.
剃掉之后他们让我转过来,开始把头发移植到我的头顶部。

At this point it was mostly Dr Tan and his tech, who was very good herself. Then Doctor Welter comes walking in to assist (he periodically popped in between previous steps) and says "you know i like the way your flaps cover but if you let me block out the area (meaning shave a big block) I can get a TON more donor hairs for you"
到这个时候几乎都是Tan医生和他的助手在弄,助手也非常好。然后Welter医生进来协助(他有时候会在一些步骤之间进来帮忙),说道:“你知道我挺喜欢你的头发把剃掉的部分盖住了,不过你能让我封锁这个区域(意思是说剃得更多)的话,我能得到特别多用于移植的毛囊。”
In the moment I said "HELL SURE lets do it......" Granted this is WHILE Tan is injecting the grafts in my forehead, so in for a penny in for a pound i guess. They said my donor area was great for FUE (all of my consults were really). I have uber thick hair.
那个时候我说“行吧,你剃吧……”这时候Tan正在我的前额植入头发,所以我猜大概一不做二不休吧。他们说我提供毛囊的头皮部分非常适合做植发(我所有的咨询师都这么说)。我的头发特别多。
I now ended up with this lol
现在我的情况就是这样的,哈哈哈。
Me and my GF (who went with me on the final consult) laugh our asses off because for some reason we found Dr Tan, who did my 2 personal consults, very convincing. I mean he does a GOOD consult, we joked at the thought of him at home during our phone conversations with a smoking pipe and jacket running his hands through his own naturally lush hair (and welter has a head of hair like a 12 year old, just insane thick).
我和我的女朋友(最后一次咨询是她陪我去的)对我们愚蠢的离开感到好笑,因为由于某些原因,我们发现,已经为我私人咨询过两次的Tan博士,非常令人信服。我的意思是,他给我做的咨询非常棒。一想到他在家穿着夹克吸着烟斗和我们通话,并用自己的手指很自然地来回穿过自己茂密的头发,我们就会那这件事情开玩笑(并且他满头杂乱的头发像一个十二岁孩子的,只是特别的浓密)。
Hes super informative, honest, oddly charming and extremely laxed. Well Welter is the same way so OF COURSE getting more donor seemed awesome coming from him. HA HA I dont regret it but I may be calling out of work a day or two next week to let this grow in a bit to have my hair dresser fade it out, make a design in it or SOMETHING.
他是一个见识广博的,诚实的,迷人的和极为放松的。把头发弄得非常杂乱也是同样地方式,当然这使头发会掉的更多对他也是非常的可怕。哈哈,我不后悔,但是我可能会请一天假,或者两周不去工作来让头发长长一点,使梳妆台淡出视野。
I mellowed out quite a bit throughout but let me tell you novocain does **** for me. If you are planning to do this and have a resilience to novacaine like myslef PLEASE start dermarolling first, and rolling HARD. This will give you an idea of what this feels like. Now dont get me wrong this is MY FAULT, not theirs. I know novocain does nothing for me and they advised they could only put so much by law in you so I kept my trap shut, grinned and beared it. Honestly Im a bit of a sadist so che sera.
在整个过程中我相当的放松,但是奴佛卡因(局部麻醉剂)不适合我。如果你们也打算这么做,并且和我一样局部麻醉效果不是很好,会是很疼的。手术会告诉你那是一种怎样的疼痛。这不是我的错也不是他们的错。我知道奴佛卡因(局部麻醉剂)对我不起任何作用,他们只能对我用法律允许的麻醉剂量,因此我咬牙坚持着。老实说,我有点像被施虐狂折磨。
Anyway as they removed the rest of the hairs in the back they kept bringing them in stocked for insertion .They use a micrografting syringe style inserter and TINY coring device for removal for a basically zero scar effect. Time will tell of course but really it leaves marks no wider than rolling and you dont get scars from that right? This isnt the exact one but pretty much. They are one of the few who use them over just cutting you with a itty bitty blade and dropping the graft in with tweezers.
无论如何,为了之后的种植,他们把头部后面剩余的头发移走并储存好。他们用一个小嫁接注射器和小的取心装置取发,基本是无痕的。当然时间会告诉你会不会有疤痕。他们是为数不多的用很小孔径的刀打孔并且用镊子进行移植。
We stopped for lunch, they were nice enough to treat but its pretty hard to enjoy a nice fat roast beef with blood and scabs all over your head lol.
我们停下来吃午饭,他们非常好,午饭是不错的脂肪烤牛肉,但是我很难在满头都是血和血痂的情况下享受这顿午餐。
We went back in and they were back to work. I will say it was the two doctors and one tech inserting these guys, THREE at once. They were really getting in there and saying they wanted density. They filled in my temples, the bridging I had from front to back and even into still populated areas so there will be hair there when even the old stuff starts thinning more. They were being proactive and I really liked that.
我们回到手术室,医生们继续给我手术。有两个医生在我旁边,其中一个进行头发种植,一次种三根 他们真的在那里,并说着他们想要达到的密度。他们种植在头上光秃的地方、头顶从前到后秃的桥状的地方并且也给我有头发的地方进行加密,因为这些地方的头发将来可能会变得越来越稀。医生的积极主动,让我很是喜欢。
We were in there until 7:30 pm by the time they ran out of grafts, we started removing around 8:30 am, inserting was about 9:15-9:30. This was a long day and by the end of it my head was so raw on top even wind hitting it hurt but I kept telling them to keep going. Novocain was lasting me NO time at all by this point. As soon as they injected it if it lasted 10-15 minutes it was a lot. They were doing a technique called nerve blocking with it that helped a lot but really my body just rejects it way to fast. Even getting my wisdom teeth out in highschool they couldnt keep me under because the IV and gas couldnt keep me out.
直到下午七点半整个植发过程才结束,我们开始取发大约是早上八点半,植入大约是9:15-9:30。这是非常漫长的一天,手术结束后,我的头顶是非常生硬的,甚至风都会打疼它,但我一直告诉他们继续前行。麻醉剂对我没有一点持续的作用。从注射开始算起最多麻醉也就持续10到15分钟。麻药通过一种阻断神经的技术来帮助减小疼痛但是麻药对于我的身体药效减弱的很快。高中时,麻药甚至是不能保证在我拔智齿的过程中持续作用,因为the IV and gas在起作用。
I kept a small plastic tropicana bottle in my hand and was crushing it like a stress ball at the end due to the pain. Again I can NOT stress this, NOT THEIR FAULT. I probably had enough sedative in me to drop a horses legs. Dermarolling REALLY built me tolerance to head pain.
痛的时候,我用力捏塑料瓶子。要不是头发问题我还有必要经受这些摧残么。我觉得在面前砍一只马腿,我都心不惊肉不跳了。在头皮用微针来回扎,痛得要命,我算是练出来了。
On a side note I mentioned the rolling to Dr Welter and he was super intrigued by it. He uses them for PRP procedures and really thought the theory behind doing it is very sound. He said he would reccomend it to people as a test if there werent so many possible chances for infections. He could not say enough be sure you disinfect everything because your head carries a LOT of bacteria even mrsa.
有一回,我把在头皮用微针来回扎的事告诉Welter博士,他觉得有意思。他用这种方法来得到高浓度血小板血浆(抗衰老用的),而且理论上也行得通。这种方法要是不会导致感染的话,他会推荐别人用的。但他不确定我有没有感染,因为我头上有很多细菌。
well in the end they went through their work with tiny forceps and checked everything, bandaged me up, gave me a goody bag, some info and sent me to my hotel. I say hotel because I HAD to stay the night. They have you come back the next day to go over all the grafts and see if any need fixing, which a few of mine did. They even gave me a small bottle of solution in case any fell out, to bring back to them the next morning to re insert. The morning of one did actually pop out and I placed it in the bottle and Dr Tan tweezed it right back in.
他们还是按照他们方法做事。他们拿一个小镊子给我做了检查,用绷带给我头包好,给我一个很好的背包,给我讲了一些我的状况,最后把我送回宾馆。我回宾馆过了一夜。第二天,我还得回去检查植发效果,确保是不是要修整,我的确实有做了小修整。他们甚至给我一个装有溶液的瓶子,如果被植的头发掉的话,装进瓶子,第二天早上带过来。第二天早上,确实有一组掉了,我装进瓶子,Tan博士用镊子拿出来重新植到我的头上。
These two guys take a LOT of pride in their work, I can't stress this. Welter had a personal story behind starting it, not super crazy or tear jerking but he wanted to get into the business to help make it easier, better and more cost effective for the patient/consumer. They worried way more about making this first job perfect than charging me for every little graft. They made sure your expectations were realistic but still tried to go above and beyond. Im not trying to sell their service. But every time I come to a forum people say the same 6 names and are to afraid to step out of that comfort zone. Well I met with a few of those big names and honestly did not like them, I stepped out of the comfort zone and feel better right now for it.
我不能不说的是,这两个家伙对他们的工作感到很骄傲。Welter在从事这个行业后的想法是,不要什么惊天动地创举,让病人觉得到治疗的过程简单、效果好、划算。他们更关注的是有没有将我的头发植好,并不太在乎从我身上赚多少钱。他们让你的期望得以实现,但依旧努力做得更好。我不是在给他们做广告。我每次看一个论坛时,大家讨论的还是那6个人,但不敢面对这些植发医生。我也听过这其中几个人的大名,说实话我也觉得很难面对。不过,我现在已经勇敢面对了,目前感觉还不错。
Who knows maybe in 6 months Ill be throwing spaghetti at a wall mother f'ing them up and down, I highly doubt it but as stated in the beginning only time will tell. I say though if you are in the area and looking for this option give them a shot, they have NO shortage on business but I would like to see them get a shot next to names like Cohen in CT.
问题在于大家还是不相信这些医生。我刚开始的时候也怀疑他们(植发医生),但只有时间能证明。我认为既然你在这方面有问题,就应该找机会见见他们(植发的医生),虽然他们是很忙的,但是我觉得见他们非常有必要。
We even talked about piliofocus. He met that guy at the conference and said he knows him (dont know how well) and could honestly not say ENOUGH GOOD things about him. He said the guy is a genius in the field and would love to see the tech progress. I hope Im not saying to much to get anyone in trouble with anything but I just like to give a lot of details so people can see the genuineness I pretty much felt dealing with this facility and ALL its staff.
我跟医生闲聊过植发界大牛,Piliofocus。他说在开会的时候见过这个牛人,还跟这个牛人说认识他(不知道他怎么知道Piliofocus),还聊了英语不好之类烂话题。他说Piliofocus是个天才,这个家伙还喜欢一些高科技的东西。我希望我所说的话没得罪别人,我就是想让大家对天才了解得更细一点,我真的喜欢了解这些细节问题。
They said stay low stress to keep your blood pressure from popping the little guys out but try to drive home in a blizzard (check the snow the northeast got today) and see how your blood pressure holds up.
回归正题,说说我头发状况的事。医生说保持放松的状态可以是让你的血压稳定,这样被植的头发就不会“挤掉”。他们在暴风雪的时候开车到我家(今天东北区域下雪),看我的血压是不是升起来了。
Wish my healing luck. I shed a tear earlier because I did lose one graft a couple hours ago which they said WILL happen but as long as I take it easy for the next few days I should be fine and if there are any issues call them and they will make it right. I honestly believe them and personally I will say that is a big compliment because I dont really "like" or trust anybody lol.
真希望功夫不负有心人,能治好。我早些时候都心痛得流泪了,因为我一组被植的头发几个小时之后掉了。他们说没事,让我放松点,过几天就会好的。如果还有问题的话,给他们打电话,他们会处理好的。我说相信他们,这是给他们拍马屁,因为我不相信任何人,哈哈。
Heres some after pics. Its hard to see through the areas that actually have some hair left but they went all in.
这里有一些术后的照片。由于原有头发的遮挡,想看到整个植发的区域还是有点困难的,但是我都拍进去了。
Im going to post this on my ****ty angry blog to as well in case any information gets removed by mods, which I hope it doesn't. Thats the reason I left bald truth, which NO surgeon I spoke with said anything highly about.... NONE.
我正打算将这些传到我的博客上面,为了避免被别人删除,我很不希望这样的情况发生。我留下这些照片以及文章的原因是因为与我谈过的每一个外科医生都没有很高的评价我的头发,一个都没有。
I will also update as time goes by but Im sure Im not leaving the forum and will continue to dermaroll my crown as if there are positive results with that they really wanted me to let them know.
我也将持续更新,我确信我不会离开这个论坛, 我也会积极更新我头顶的情况就好像他们真的很想让我告诉他们一些好的结果。
Thanks everyone.
谢谢每一个人
Again as I started though
我又开始思考,
Am I making the right decision?
Will I be happy?
Am I spending the money right?
Will this even help?
Will I end up WORSE off?
我是否做了正确的决定?我会快乐吗?我花的钱值得吗?我会摆脱我糟糕的困境吗?
as good as my experience was... you just will never know, life is always that way though......
