I had serious reservations about having a hair transplant. I struggled with the idea for nearly a year. I still had a significant amount of hair and I was nervous that if I picked the wrong surgeon my results would look unnatural which would further erode my confidence and self-esteem. I either wanted natural looking results or I wasn?t going to do it.
After meeting with several of the larger hair transplant chains I was fortunate to find Dr. Arocha. His sterling reputation as a leader in the field of hair transplantation is well deserved. It?s not just that he?s as much artist as surgeon, it?s his commitment to his craft that enables him to achieve high density natural looking results. I picked Dr. Arocha because after speaking to him and meeting his staff I felt like he could deliver. I can't pinpoint the exact reason why I trusted him all I knew is that I didn't feel that way when I met the other doctors.
I flew in on the day of the surgery and arrived at his office around 9am. The staff was very warm and friendly. Although I was nervous, I felt like I had made a good decision. Dr. Arocha and his assistant Craig explained the process prior to getting started. The surgery went very well. Although I was awake and received 3,400 grafs, I didn?t feel any pain and only have a vague recollection of the procedure itself. I spent the night in Houston and flew back home the following morning. The first couple of days I had minor discomfort in the donor area but was fine with over the counter pain medication. After a long weekend I went back to work. I am currently 11 months out. I look and feel 10 years younger. I?m ecstatic with the results.
My only regret is I wish I would have done it several years ago. I would have saved myself a lot of grief. If you are thinking about having a hair transplant, I strongly encourage you to at least meet Dr. Arocha before making a decision.
Good Luck
