Athena - I have taken good care after the surgery & I did even meet the doctor after 6months & 1 year. I havent missed any of the appointments that were scheduled till the first year of the surgery. I started losing hair gradually & I stopped propecia last dec 2014 as I didnt see any growth. I have to apologize for the late response but I am not saying anything negative or I ever said anything negative about the whole surgery that was done. I said this didn't work out for me & you offered second HT after 1yr follow up which I wasnt ready to pay again. I have a couple of friends who were waiting for the results so I updated my profile with my pictures. Thank you

Thanks for the suggestion & yes i am on the same thing about getting my second HT after all this. I'll check out Dermmatch...i kinda used toppik initially it was ok but let me checkout Dermmatch too....Thanks

I tried the buzz cut but if I go 4 or below the scar is visible well sometimes couple of them thought its a new hairstyle which was funny but ya. Now i go by 5 which is ok but something is better. thanks for the suggestion of blending the scar...let me try it this time...Cheers man

GLad to hear that...be positive & hope it turns out really good No i didnt contact the doctor.

Once again I really want to apologize to everyone in this post as I had some personal issues. I will be active from today & will be responding to every question you guys have. Thank you so much for all your support.

Hello Bill Thanks for your message. Yes Sept 2, 2011 was my surgery date. I gave myself one more year to see how my transplant will be but it went worse I lost pretty much all the hair & since I had a couple of friends on this website I wanted to check how their status was & saw so many responses on my post so thought of updating with my pictures & like user @ hadenough2014 said yes that was my feeling "I gave a shot & it didn't work out for me well" I didnt have much options. So sorry for the late reply but I really appreciate you messaging me. Thank you

I am really really sorry to respond this late. I have been out of the country for personal reasons & didnt get a chance to login to the website. First of all I did go through all follow up visits with Dr. Meshkin & then I met him once after 6months after the surgery which he said he'll be evaluating me after 1year & he suggested I needed a second HT to be done which I was not convinced as I didn't wanted to pay again for the poor result (at least in my opinion). Yes I have been on medications (FIN & Propecia) till last year i.e till Dec 2014, but stopped Propecia & I am still continuing Rogaine. I will be active now & please feel free to answer any of the questions & I would be glad to answer all of those. Anything that will help you guys I am glad to answer. Thank you & really sorry for posting this late but will be active now. Just had some personal reasons and had to be out of the country for past 6 months.

Hey guys i do apologize for the late reply but it just that i thought i should be sharing some pictures of mine. I really had a very terrible experience with the surgery & this is where I am right now. It is kinda discouraging sometimes but may be i have learned it the bad way after spending all the money, i just feel so bad that atleast i should have not done the surgery so that i would have shaved my head off but with the scar now...even thats not a possibility. Anyways hope many other users have a good experience with their surgery.

Hey Guys...i'm sorry this is quite late a reply. Was moving places because of my job schedule. So its been 2 years me getting my surgery done & my personal opinion no i wasn't satisfied with the result. 3000 grafts they did say that it will make quite a good change on my head but nothing much has changed. I paid a visit to Meshkin's office after an year of my surgery and he said the scar healed well and the hair will grow eventually and offered me if I want to go ahead with 2nd surgery. Well the hair didn't grew it was pretty same...In a way I am disappointed but may be my case was different. Not discouraging any of you guys but ya i have given my best but it didnt work for me. I'll be posting you the new pictures & comments are appreciated.

Hey Sean How are you...i'm doing great...its healing well and now i dont have any pain around the donor area...i've been to Dr. Meshkin and they removed my stiches and he did inspect me and said i was healing well so jst have to wait and see how it grows..!! yea even i have been through some shedding...jst waiting for it to grow. how about you...?

thanks so much Athena...Almost all the scabs are gone now...and i'm washing my head normally now.! i have set up an appointment coming sat(24th)..so u can have a look at it.! I have posted few pictures below. 2nd week update.!!!

Almost all the scabs have fallen off..yea the scar pain is fine now..!! how are u doing...healed completely?

I have cut my hair myself so that i can clean my scar neatly...i havent touched the grafts though.! Looks like the scar is getting healed...it hurts a bit while i'm sleeping and probably once i get my stitches removed it would be less painful.! These are few closeup photos.

thanks so much David..yea will keep you posted...plzz put an eye even on my website.! Cheers.!

Yea they are falling off...it pains a bit at the scar area while i'm sleeping..I think probably once the stitches are removed i'll feel much comfort.!! how bout you?
