I live out of town. How many days should I stay in Portland?
I highly recommend patients stay in town for at least two days, if not longer, until they are comfortable taking care of the grafted area and donor area. The staff will be cleaning and check over the surgical sites to make sure all the grafts are in the proper position when patients visit in the postoperative period. We provide detailed instructions when patients are in the office on how to care for the surgical areas. Once the patients are comfortable taking care of the surgical areas, and there are no signs of any problems, it is OK for patients to return to their hometown. If patients have sutures or staples to be removed, patients need to plan ahead and have those removed between postoperative days 9 - 12.
Consultation FAQs
Who will I be meeting with for the consultation?
Dr. Gabel performs all patient consultations. You may first meet one of the staff who will help with the initial intake, and this will be followed by Dr. Gabel, who will obtain a detailed hair loss and medical history, followed by a comprehensive examination of your scalp. He will then formulate an individualized treatment plan.
How long does a consultation usually take?
Patients can expect their consultations to last for about an hour.
What occurs during the consultation?
When patients arrive, they are greeted by our friendly staff who will collect the paperwork which is delivered to Dr. Gabel. Patients are then directed into the consultation room where they are able to view materials on hair loss, medical treatment for hair restoration, and information on surgical hair transplantation. Dr. Gabel will then introduce himself to the patient. He will obtain a detailed hair loss and medical history, followed by a comprehensive examination of the patient’s scalp. He will then formulate an individualized treatment plan and discuss these treatment options with the patient.
