From the initial contact with ClassyGrafts until the present day(4 weeks post op), the communication always has been swift, clear and informative. I had my consultation on-line, sent my photos to the clinic, and the doctor made her pre-evaluation. Once I arrived at the clinic on the first morning, she did a new evaluation together with the "Team". All very professional and in a nice atmosphere.
Before I went to Bangalore I did all the blood work/check at my MD, and sent the results to ClassyGrafts.
We were met at the airport(I brought my wife) by an English speaking driver, who took us to a nice and quite new Hotel, only 12-15 min walking to the clinic. There is a nice burger restaurant just around the corner from the hotel, and a big shopping center 5 min walk away.
Back to the surgery and the preparations.After the signing of paperwork and payment, I was given some tablets(relaxing, antibiotics and "anti-bleeding"), and then taken photos of.(Before pictures.) Then the haircut, back to the doctor, and she draw up lines for the implant areas. Everything went swift and all comfortable. You have the clinic to yourself and the 4 people assisting with your surgery( 2 doctor, 2 assistents)
The surgery started, laying on my stomach, so the doctor could harvest hair from my back. The ONLY "pain" I felt during my 2 days of school, was the few first minutes when receiving the anesthetic injections. It felt something like being stung by a wosp, by it past within 2 minutes. The rest I could not feel at all, no pain at all! She harvested until lunch time(12-1230)(started around 0830 am), I had 30 min very nice lunch, and back to surgery. Now sitting, and the doctor started implanting on my forehead. Same procedure, I was given anesthetic, and felt nothing afterwards. Watching sports on TV(a lot of channels!), until the first days surgery ended around 17:00.
I was given some tablets to take, a bandage on the back of my head, and left together with my wife, who came to "pick me up". I had no pain or discomfort, walked back to the hotel, had a quick shower(NOT the head!), and went to that burger restaurant for a dinner.
I slept ok, ok because you have to sleep a little elevated and on your back., but apart from that NO pain or discomfort, I was pleasantly surprised!
I had a quick breakfast and walked to the clinic. The surgery started almost immediately, around 0800, and followed the same routine. All went well, no discomfort, the staff VERY nice, sweet, helpful and professional!
Left the clinic around 1730, after a conversation with the doctor about post op procedure, and again went for dinner with my wife.
The following morning we were picked up by a driver who took us to the airport.
The ONLY thing I have experienced after the surgery was a little swelling on my forehead and down to my nose/eyes. It came about 2-3 days after the surgery, and lasted about 2 days. Apart from that, no pain or discomfort, just a slight itch from time to time, but the spraying of sterile water every hour helps.
Now it’s been 6 month, and my life is back to normal, I see good hair growth and have been for more than 3 weeks(apart from the things that you can’t do the first 3 weeks, sports etc.)
I can highly recommend ClassyGrafts if you are considering a hair transplant! Don’t worry about pain, because it’s not painfully. They are very professional, and you will be surprised how fast after the surgery you feel "normal" again, and returning to your daily stuff.
