Days 3-6	Scabbing/crusting becomes visible. Possible swelling may move across the nose and around the eyes.	Continue applying anti-biotic ointment to the suture line.
Day 7	Swelling usually has subsided. Redness has mostly resolved.	Most numbness will normally resolve. Continue applying anti-biotic ointment to the suture line.

“You are the first doctor that I've met who is more concerned about the patient's well being in the long term. And for that, I am thankful”
~ Michael T.

Dr. Armani is great. My hair transplant went just as he said it would and a year later at age 62 I now have a new hairline and no one has ever suspected that I had a transplant. He is an artist and a perfectionist. Before going to him, I had met with 3 other doctors, but only Dr. Armani created the comfort level that allowed me to go through with the procedure. Truly one of the best self help decisions I've ever made. I used to look in the mirror and dread my ever increasing scalp. Now I look in the mirror and can't believe my perfectly age appropriate hairline. Thanks Dr. Armani!

“My experience was outstanding! From the moment I met Dr. Armani, I was comfortable. He explained the procedure, answered questions and made his recommendations. During the procedure he was informative, gentle, professional, and demonstrated his concern for me and my well-being. He called me several times after the procedure to make sure all was well AND he provided me with his personal telephone number if I needed to call him. The result of my procedure was/is quite remarkable. My hair salon professional has remarked at how natural the result is and commented that he would not even know I had this procedure done had I not told him. My experience with Dr. Armani was probably one of the best doctor/patient experiences I have yet to have. Thank you Dr. Armani!”
~ Dr. Alfred P.

Dr. Armani and his team performed hair restoration for me in February 2015. I am very pleased with the results. Additionally, Dr. Armani is very easy to talk to and extremely patient and careful. I would recommend him to anyone considering hair restoration. Thanks.
