Default Your opinions needed/new user

Hi,
After reading forms like this I decided to not go ahead with my procedure in the UK. Im going to Washington in March and using Dr W. Lindsey. Yes I'm nervous I have a widows peek hairline and have hated it for years and the it's estimated 1200 to 1500 is the likely number to be used. I'm worried about the scar left at the back, but also excited as well. At this point in time I'm glad I researched further and looked at forums like this.

Hi Bucksred,

Totally normal feelings, I shat myself about 3 times before I got my first strip session done! Once its over its pure relief but you got to wait it out around month 3-4 you start sprouting at a quick rate.

Your in safe hands with Dr Lindsey he's a plastic surgeon as well and he will give you a great scar if you know what I mean.

Take confidence in the fact you did the right thing avoided the uk and chose a top surgeon.

look forward to yor results

Congrats with going with Dr lindsay, he's posts alot of his work on here and it's impressive. Like UKResponder said he is a plastic surgeon as well, i think you will be hard pushed to find another doc that could match the scar he will give you
Best of luck with your procedure

I'll look forward to meeting you. As I have posted and always say, I can't guarantee you a great scar, but I'll do my best. Attached to this are 2 scars that walked in today. The first is 1 year out from 3500, the second is 1 month out from 3900.

I'll see you in March.

After four procedures, I can tell you it is the BEST decision I ever made. Post op is a "pain in the butt", but then it is only a matter of time until your hairloss becomes a thing of the past.

It is a GREAT feeling!

Good luck!!
