Hey Guys, Just wanted to know what all kinds of bladness are there. Cause i think mine is pretty unique. I have lost hair from almost all the parts of the scalp. Some less and some more but from everywhere. Front/Sides/Top and even back. Now is this normal with MPB or this is something unuseual. I dont have a bald area til now but thinning from everywhere(Some major thinning on top and front still not MPB types). My hairline hasnt receded but is very thin and is intact. I have been loseing hair since a very early age. I must have been 12 or so by then(Sob sob). Just point me out to a link where i can read more about types of bladness. Also i dont think any sort of HT will give me a decent look apart from somethig like Cloning or HM whose arrival time only GOD knows. Although i have done a session with Dr. A in the front last year in April for 1500 grafts but it was a utter failure. And after 1.5 Years my hair looks attrocious. I guess it has to do with my case rather then Doc's skills. Also I ordered some dermmatch. Still in courier. Hope it works well as i have no bald area but thinning. Somebody kindly shed some light on it. Also i see no pics of derrmatch except of roberts on this site. Hell infact on any other place except for dermmatch site itself. Hell everybody is so gaga over the thing why not post some before and after pics to let others have an idea ...

You did nothing wrong in getting a hair transplant at the age of 21... You needed that at that age and thats it... People get there longsightedness fixed(Spectecicals removed) through lazer operations.... Girls get boob jobs done... You did absolutely nothing wrong... Just pray that it gives you excellent results... Just be worried about that and give a F*** to others...

Good luck to you mate... Though it might be a little slow second time around but seeing your one month post op pics i feel you will have awasome hairline and good density when it is there fully... Keep us posted with your results...

I had my Ht on 7th April 2005 so i am also sort of 4.5 Months post HT and i also havent yet seen remarkable results... I am also waiting for the six month mark... Some peopl are slow and some are fast... I beleive we both are in the former catagory rather then later...

I beleive by fine hair you mean thin... One Advise to you mate if you go in for HT go for large numbers cause the drawback with fine/thin hair is that you need greater numbers for fullness/denseness... Also fine hair IMPO are more suspectiable to shockfallout... So if you getting HT done in an area where exisiting hair are already present there dont ignore the factor of shock fallout...

BTW when did you had your HT any pics... And how many grafts...

Well i am 4 months post HT and i had 1500 done in the front and none in hairline... I have had quite a bit of depressing shockloss... And mine also looke very very thin as compared to before HT... As of 4 months i see 10% Ht growth and 60% original hair shockloss... If you say six months i have no other option but to buy it cause thats the best in my interest but i beleive shock loss should start coming in by 4 month mark... Lets just hope you are correct...

How many grafts did you go for BobbyN

I already got a HT. I just wanted to know weather 1500 is a good enough number for this or not. The dotted line is the area where the grafts have been put. None in hairline. One side of my hairline has gone due to shockloss. Just tell me its a good number. Dr. A performed my surgery in delhi. I am 3 1/2 months post HT now and waiting desperately for the results. Also DR. A shaved the frontal hair so i am having a tough time. I just hope the shockloss returns. Switch

Thanks Robert... i posted the same thread on hairsit and people there are telling me that i have gone for lesser number of grafts... I am just a little bit concerned on that... But i beleive time only has answer to this question... I just pray that time to be on my side... Thanks for the responses you all...

Thanks for the response guys... I noticed today that left side of hairline is intact while right side has given away... The doc didnt transplant anything in the hairline... I also contacted him about a week back and he told me that it really depends on person to person about the grafts coming out. Generally it takes six months on an avg to notice results and one year plus for complete results. Also nobody in my family has hairloss problem. My dad still has full head hair though everybody in my family have thin straight hair.

Well... I am almost 12 weeks post HT. I have noticed some of them have started growing in and have also noticed some shockloss. I had 1500 done by Dr A on 7th of April. When do the grafts start growing... I am living a very quiet life due to the HT. Also how good look will 1500 in the frontal region considering one already has 30 per sq cm. I have straight black thin hair and fair scalp. Will try to post a pic. Edit Pic Added

Well... I started to loose hair at about 13 or 14. I did nothing with them as at that time my parents thought that it will become allright and also i was in a hostel so wasnt in touch with them a lot. I am a diffused thinner and i have got thin straight black hair. Also i have fair skin scalp while my hair colour is dark black so it is easy to spot the bladness. I got my first HT done by DR. A in Delhi on 7th April 2005. Thats just about 2+ months back. I am scared as of now cause i look the worst and i think i am having dreadful shockloss(I was really worried about the shockloss before the transplant). But i think that getting an HT at this age(I am 25+ now) is correct(For me atleast). I could have waited a little longer but then again i will be getting married(Hopefully) in next year or so i think this is just about the right time. I tried using minioxdil on a doc's advise two years ago but i noticed after a month that i am shedding more. I immidiately stopped it. I think it doesnt suit me. As of now i am not on any medication(I prefer not to be). What i feel about medicines that everybody has different experiences with them. Also the harmone thing in your case could be spot on as posted by gillenator. Hang in there and try talking advise of another doctor. Hope it works out for you. And as everybody else said dont even think about an HT as of now.

Well I know its a bit early but i am scared. I had 1500 Strip performed on me by Dr. A in New delhi in my frontal area on 7th April 2005. I am a diffused thinner. Before the surgery i had more hair then what i have after 2 months. Actually i asked the doctor that how much of shockloss can i expect and he told me that he will cu the hair small so that he can insert new hair betwwen them in such an angle so the the roots of the existing hair dosent get damaged. After two months i clearly see that most of my old hair has gone. I mean they have strted growing but i feel totally naked on the front. i know the new hair wgrowth will kick in after three months but still will my old hair come back. I am really scared help me out here. I just pray this HT goes fine with me...
