Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 You are right, . Just about all of those pictures are the longer cut. I wish I had taken a picture of mine with the short cut. Any chance you could take yours and send it to the site? Alice Good Greif !I just looked at some of the posted photos of implant surgery and think some of you may of had older style surgery done ?

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 thanks , for sharing your photos. it's a great help to me because my husband, Cherry, is having his surgery next Monday (yea!) and i will be the one to shave the area around his ear for him the day before surgery, as he has very long hair, and we wanna keep as much as we can! his surgeon outlined the area for us previously and it is very similar in size to yours, only his incision will be more around the ear, so i wont be going straight up, as in yours, but more curved around his ear. but it was a great help to get an idea of what his will look like! thanks again, and take care. m > Good Greif !I just looked at some of the posted photos of implant > surgery and think some of you may of had older style surgery done ? > My head was only shaved 1 1/2 inch wide by 4 in long strip ,with a > 4 in incision.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Well I agree with you. When I saw those pictures it frightened me. But the surgeon only shaved a small area above my ear and behind it. My hairdresser has a niece that has a CI and she said her hair was completely shaved on one side. She thought they did a great job when they cut my hair. susan & hobbes michigan At 01:04 AM 5/11/2004 +0000, you wrote: >Good Greif !I just looked at some of the posted photos of implant >surgery and think some of you may of had older style surgery done ? >My head was only shaved 1 1/2 inch wide by 4 in long strip ,with a >4 in incision.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 No offense taken .. I had my surgery 2 and a half years ago.. when they did primarily the long incision, and while I agree.. my surgery pix looked like somehting out of a enstein movie, the scar is unnoticeable today and at the time of my surgery my hair covered the whole thing. My incision is right in the crease of my ear so the scar has never been a problem.. as I said before.. small price topay for being able to hear again.<smiles> Cheers, Silly MI > At 01:04 AM 5/11/2004 +0000, you wrote: > >Good Greif !I just looked at some of the posted photos of implant > >surgery and think some of you may of had older style surgery done ? > >My head was only shaved 1 1/2 inch wide by 4 in long strip ,with a > >4 in incision.
