I am excited about Allergan's two new products = Bimatoprost and Setipiprant. Bimatoprost might be coming out soon -- Is it Time to buy Allergan (AGN) Stock? | The End of Hair Loss and Balding by 2020 Has anyone tried this drug? Do you guys think its worth waiting for an HT until these cures come out?

If only I was the only one who was seeing double posts Dr. Feller!! It seems to happen to half the people. Sometimes the system crashes after I post, then I refresh and it double posts. But why is it happening to so many people? I want to be alone in this.

Very much appreciated Dr. Feller! You do look great now and I better start walking 8 miles per day... as I cannot quit my once a week pizza and twice a week beer.

Very much appreciated Dr. Feller! You do look great now and I better start walking 8 miles per day... as I cannot quit my once a week pizza and twice a week beer. THIS FORUM IS MESSED UP. MOST OF MY FEW POSTS FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS HAVE COME THROUGH TWICE.

Dr. Feller, perhaps you missed my last post and I would appreciate your answers to the below: 1) How did you lose so much weight? 2) How many HTs have you had and how many total grafts? All Strip? 3) What do you think about ARTAS FUE? They must have sold at least 150 of those robots by now.

Hello Dr. Feller, maybe you missed my prior post. Please try to answer these questions: 1) How did you lose all that weight. 2) How many HTs have you had, and how many grafts total? I assume all strip? 3) What do you think about ARTAS. They have probably sold at least 150 of those by now. Do you think ARTAS FUE is worse than say Australia doctor's or Atlanta doctor's FUE in terms of yield and scarring? Thank you.

Dr. Feller, can you please tell us how you lost all the weight? And also how many hair transplants you have had and how many grafts each time (even if you can't tell the name of your surgeon)? Sorry to sidetrack this thread, but your transformation is amazing (I saw the old videos on your site and it looks like a totally different man) and I did not want to start a new thread with these questions in the off topic section here where Dr. Feller probably never goes!

That is a great story Blake. Best wishes, and hope you use ADSCs and PRP too!

This is a great story Blake and hope you get recommended here asap! I am curious how you got so into hair when you have a full head of it yourself?

Hey David! Great report and best of luck. I rarely come here, but might have to come by more frequently to follow your posts. I started reading some of your older posts, and it seems we have some similarities...I also get acne (and hyperpigmentation, since I have darker skin type 4) that is probably from Propecia. I also have some gyno, but not 100 percent if its from Propecia. Seems like you did not get that side effect? More importantly, I am 36 and not married and probably unlikely to have children till I turn 40 assuming I meet someone right. Was there a reason you delayed parenthood? How did you finally meet your wife if you don't mind personal questions? Did your child turn out okay even though you (and your wife?) were older? The medical establishment really scares people who are older and having children.

Didn't realize there were two threads created by Jotronic. Am reposting my message here too and would like to know if Jotronic did not see Rahal's results late last year when he made this post on his blog in November 2013. I am very surprised at this news as Jotronic seemed very adamant about strip a few months ago and I rarely saw his mentioning FUE as a good alternative. I for one find it hard to believe him hereon. From Jotronic's own website blog entry from November 2013 I quote: "There was a mix of results being shown at the conference. Many FUE results were shown, some of which were ARTAS results. There were some eyebrow results shown as well and even a hairline lowering procedure which looked really good. In my opinion however the FUE results did not match the strip results and Dr. Jerry Cooley was the only other attendee that was showing a result that I felt was worth showing and it was, unsurprisingly, a strip result; about 3100 grafts to the crown. This is unfortunate regarding the FUE results because I recognize the procedure as being a permanent and growing fixture in the field. The showing of FUE results clarified one thing for me however and that is that a lot of doctors in this industry just don’t get it. They have no problem sacrificing quality in order to cater to the perceived public opinion. Keep in mind that this patient viewing session to share results is supposed to be an opportunity to show off in front of your peers. It is an opportunity to say, “look what I can do”. If the results shown are supposed to be “showcase” type of results then the overall quality of results in general is heading backward. The two areas where the majority of the doctors were swarming was around Dr. Cooley’s result and those of Dr. Wong. These two had the most impressive cosmetic results by far and more than one doctor that was viewing the results told me that Dr. Won’gs presentation was by far the best of the bunch."

This forum has some problem as so many people are getting duplicate posts, and it seems like several of the posts from yesterday disappeared.

Duplicate.

I am certain that I read that his procedure was done in Dubai.

Its also wonderful that Pat and the Hasson crowd have made up now! Good for you.

The majority of balding men I see seem to also have thinning donor regions. Very few are completely bald in the donor area so you won't lose more than half the transplanted hair in all likelihood.

That video is sooooo funny! You got guts my friend. Do they have a version of American idol in India?

Sometimes, seemingly stupid questions are actually very thoughtful ones. I have read that hair takes a long long time to decompose. Probably even longer than does synthetic hair I would think?

I just read on DTrojanz excellent site where he recommends people paying for their surgery with a cashback credit card. Even better (for those who don't have such a card or who only get back 1%), perhaps HT surgeons can give each patient who pays in cash a 3% discount since I would think they pay that much or more to credit card companies in fees anyway. Is this possible?

It is true that when people like Chris Reeve or that disfigured girl who's in the ads for drunk driving can continue living, a bald person has no right to cotemplate forget commit suicide. However, many of us do. Why? Because in almost all cases we also have other issues. Personally, I have a nerve related disorder that causes my hand and feet to sweat and become really cold a lot of times such that I can barely use them with comfort, espeically when touching others. In addition, I have excess body hair and fast beard growth that is almost as bothersome TO ME as hair loss. These are just peronsal physical problems. I do not even want to talk about other personal issues. It is everything together that used to make me feel suicidal. Another thing is that in today's society, younger people are in many ways worse of than people in the times of the great depression or WWII. I used to live in a poor country where kids have to walk miles to get a bucket of water. Yet they were always happy. In America, Europe, and increasingly, other parts of the world, looks are so important that it is difficult for a young inexperienced person to understand the "joys of life". The worse thing is that family and religious values are almost nonexistent and make it hard for a teenager to get a good support system or experience spirituality. Remember, even Chris Reeve said that he was contempalting suicide, but it was his beautiful wife and kids who made im think again. The same goes for that girl in the drunk driving ads. she contemplated suicide, but her father and spirituality saved her.

Check out this link with a pic that Jotronic posted. http://www.hair-restoration-info.com/groupee/forums?a=tpc&s=5696015661&f=1466060861&m=2806047302 I have somewhat darker hair than that, but also somewhat darker skin. Anyway, it seems like the HT worked great for that guy. Also, can surgeons pack hair in one square inch as densely as it was orignially when you were in your teens? If so, I don't see how the color of skin and hair matters if you just need a small area done?! It would matter if you were a NW-6 and need a lot of coverage, but I am probably a NW-2/NW-2.5.

In another post, Dr. PRose said the following: " A good HT can be undetectable. This is especially true for individuals with light color hair and a fair complexion. Follicular unit transplantation allow us to achieve remarkably natural results. Individuals with dark hair and light complexions are more diffcult. " I am confused about this. Most of the great pics I have seen seem to be of those with dark hair. I have dark hair (pitch dark black) and light brownish skin. Am I not a suitable candidate?
