  1. stay the heck away, the hairs are rejected by your body, and you get infections.
  2. Hey, i was just wondering, I have had a few hair transplants with reputable doctors and i still have trouble growing hair in an area of the scalp that is about 2 inches in diamter. I t really affects the overall results. Have any of u guys heard about this conundrum. tHe hair grows everywhere except in that little area, the hair is there, but its weak and doesnt grow long. What gives?
  3. hi future ht. I posted pics circa 4 to s months. its in the thread for patient results. Now,u have to realize that i was a norwood 6 (advanced) so the area to fill is huge. Ive had about 3,500 grafts all together from my other procedures and i still need more. I m happy with dr. ochs, icant wait for my hair to grow a few inches to get the layer effect, HOPEFULLY the horrible contrast of white on black hair will not screw up results. tc.
  4. I had my surgery with dr. ochs about 6 months ago july 17. I thought he did a good job, i see more hair than there was before and he did not misrepresent himself. I think (tragically) for some, hair transplantation just doesnt work. I feel for danoush, but you cant condemn dr Ochs based on 1 person.Dr ochs is licenced and has the right credentials, which is why i chose him, i still have to see the end result of course, but what i see in the mirror is evidence of good workmanship.
  5. grow your hair long, it works for me,(and my hair is thin also) i gues the only time your reminded of the scar is when you shave down to a number 3,2,or 1, other than that, hasson and wong have good results on their strips, i wouldnt worry too much, you will have more hair on top,and that is worth it .\ tcare.
  6. give it a few more months. if it s still bad,you need to take action against armani. it is indeed perplexing to have less hair than what you started out with. GET YOUR MONEY BACK!!!!
  7. go for it, i only have 4000 grafts, and my scalp is really white and my hair is jet black, so its a horrible contrast. i can see you have black hair and a darker skin tone on your scalp, this will definitely be a gain for you. I think that 3k graft will help you with your hairs characteristics, and if you need more, you can always go to a cheaper doctor, just to add more hair. thats what i did. Youre lucky that you dont have a really white scalp though, it really screws things up.
  8. I opted to just fill in the front, thats the profile that everyone sees anyway. So a good strategy would be to start a conservative hair line in the front, and work your way back. Also your curly hair will be beneficial for "Creating the illusion" of density, if you place a density of about 40-45 hairsper sq cen.in the front you should get a great result and if u have high sides that should help even further.
  9. i started sleeping on recipient area about 10 days post op(after staple removal),and area is still a bit tender, use aloe vera, and try not too scratch the scar(aloe vera helps with itching). You had a surgery form the best surgeon in the business so you should follow his directions for staple removal, you should get great results, now comes the hard part, the WAITING period.
  10. hey pd. IT LOOKS like you have good donor hair, and i know that only a doc knows, but from my experience, i think you could do a good frontal transplant. I think though that you wuld need about 4000 in the front.see a good doc, again, your donor hair looks good, so there is good potential for good results.
  11. tw5 Hey man, i got to say that you dont have it bad. You have a wife and you dont have to worry about playing the game anymore, so dont jump too fast into the ht game. I also wnt bald around 24, and i can tell you (being a nowrwood six) i still look bald in some areas, so if u just have 3500 grafts available, you might regret doing it, hell man i have close to 4000 grafts and i still need more work!! at a norwood 7 and with limited supply, youre looking at a minimal cosmetic change. But its just my opinion, if your expectiations are realistic, you might be happy with a frontal transplant.
  12. Thanks Bill, I ve had enough transplants to "know better" but yu can never be too sure.
  13. hEY , I NOticed the topic on sun exposure, but it begs the question, how much will sun damage the grafts 2 mos out? Or better put, will spending 10 minutes in the sun without a hat destroy or inhibit graft growth. please help, i went out yesterday without a hat on, total dome exposure was about 10 to 15 minutes. Bill, maybe you can weigh in bro, thanks.
