Initially, the plan was to do both sides at the same time, but 1 of the expanders broke through my skin and had to be removed and replaced later when the remaining expander was removed. So I had 3 expanders in total over that time. So it sometimes happens and is just unfortunate. 

At times, I found it incredibly painful due to the tension on my scalp but I think it was absolutely worth the pain and discomfort of having them in. My hairline isn’t perfect, but I’m so much happier now I’ve had them done. Sometimes I do have the odd bald spot that shows but this is mostly due to the way my hair has parted when I tie it back. Overall, I think it was worth it. 

I recently had tissue expanders put in to help with my hair loss, however they got infected and I had to have them removed early. They managed to shrink the bald area by a bit, but I've noticed some more bald patches in places where there wasn't really before, and some of my hair is finding it hard to grow back. I have the possibility of being able to have more tissue expanders put in again in about 6 months, but can't decide if I want to yet. Has anyone else had them, and have any good/bad views on them?
