Sure. The topics of conversation ranged from how they will be able to smuggle alcohol into a concert they will be attending tomorrow, to discussing Harry Potter fan fiction. One of the techs was giggling about how she "dropped some hairs" during implantation. It seemed to be a majority of younger, less experienced techs with some older, more serious and experienced techs toward the end of the surgery. I can't attest to how they did with the implantation itself, but the lack of focus and flippant attitude did not fill me with confidence about the result

Sounds like a solid plan. Agree that the midscalp to frontal area turned out alright but for the prices they are charging you have to compare it with the best doctors in the world. It's hard to understand that until you have a procedure with a top doctor to compare it to. I ended up going to Dr. Laorwong after doing extensive research. Even with the travel, it cost me less than half the price of the NY surgery despite being FUE instead of FUT, and more hair was extracted overall. The result ended up being excellent just 4 months after the surgery (including crown) instead of having to wait 2 yrs for poor growth.

I'll be honest with you brother, for over 7k grafts I would be generous to call it an average result. I am also a past patient of Dr. Bloxham. I had a bad experience with a crown transplant that left me with poor coverage and a nice wide scar on the back of my head for my troubles. The techs shocked me with how unprofessional they were during the procedure. I played the waiting game as the doctor kept promising further growth in the crown that never came. I ended up going overseas, paid less than 1/2 the price and was much happier with how the procedure went and the results were phenomenal compared to the initial surgery in NY. Maybe others have a different experience, but I thank god that I didn't go back to Bloxham for the second HT. I don't want to be totally negative but I have to be honest. I was so hopeful going into the surgery, it's unfortunate it ended that way. I hope you have better luck than me with the growth from here. You must be tired of transplants by now but if you still have donor area to spare you could get a final small procedure to the crown as a finishing touch.
