Best of luck on the 19th, you know your in safe hands with Rahal

Can't argue with the above comment

No worries, glad to help. Yeah if you have been on the meds as long as you have, i would say it's not the meds and maybe just a seasonal shed

Hi there, sometimes lighting can be quite harsh and make our hair look thinner than it really is, however if you are considering using propecia in the uk, alot of us use this site uk finasteride - Legitimate UK finasteride for hair loss

It a legit site and the prices are very reasonnable

Best of luck

Hi, i know everyone who wants to get an HT always want to have it as close to home as possible, but the truth is we almost all have to travel to achieve our HT. I had my first Ht conducted by a not so great company in the uk and ended up having to travel to the states to rectify my hair loss problem. It may seem like alot more expenses upfront with travelling but it will save you a small fortune in the long run.

There is a list of Drs listed on this forum, i would recommend you look at the list and get a feel for who you think could help you achieve your results. Dr Farjo is in Manchester and is recommended on this forum.

Best of luck

Chrisdav,

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I did well for the first couple of months, but i think i need to get a hobby and take my mind of things now as i seem to be checking the mirror more hoping i may be one of the lucky view and be an early grower

Hi, i'm not sure if your shed is due to rogain foam if you have been on it for 9 months. People worry about shedding and believe it's always due to taking meds. The fact is we continually goes through sheds at different periods, some we notice more than others. Normally the hair grows back normally after its resting phase. I know no one enjoys shedding but i really would try not to worry too much about it. Are you on propecia?

Regards:)

Definately agree with the comments above, if your losing your hair and you want to slow the process, you have to at least try propecia and see if it works for you

Nothing less than expected from rahal Did he go conservative because af his age?

Hi, i'm using the same as yourself. I considered using rogaine, but felt propecia and nizoral was enough for me. I suppose it comes down to personal preference.

Regards

Spex,

I know yr right mate, i promised myself i wouldnt try and look at my hair too much til i got to the 4th month point, however i seem to have fallen into that 2 month trap where we all seem to start hoping we may be an early grower. All good though, after i got my staples out i had full sensation back in my donar area, and had full sensation back in my recipient area within a month. Dr Feller certainly has magic hands

Happy days, you must be well pleased with the outcome so far, and you still have months ahead:)

Dr Rahal certainly is the man:)

Most people who need that many grafts would normally go down the strip methed. More and more people now a days want FUE but it's normally in small cases due to the amount of grafts you need i would suggest you look at strip method.

Regards

Abbie,

Many thanks for taking the time to explain

Kind Regards

RC West,

Thanks for the reply, that was the main reason i asked the question. I seen a couple of Ht's were people had a high density of hair and was curious if all you needed was work to your hairline. Because you only use single hairs to the hairline i was curious to how they would conduct it if your strip yielded alot of multiple hair grafts.

Thanks again

Hi, i started on the meds 18 months before i had my Ht. I'm starting to see the full effects of being on the meds now and have had some regrowth as well as retaining what hair i already have. For me it was an easy decision to make, all my family are Norwood 6/7.I didnt see the point in having a HT if it didnt retain what i had because i would of carried on through to a Norwood 6/7 and would of continually had to chase my hair loss with more HT's.

I think alot of it is down to how much hair you have and what yr family history is like for hair loss. If you have a family history of severe hair loss and you definatley want a HT then i strongly believe you have to at least try the meds to see if it helps in yr fight against stopping or reversing your hair loss.

Just my humble opinion.

What an amazing transformation, no wonder he has got such a huge smile on his face, so would i with that head of hair:)

He must be over the moon with his results, and he's only at 9months

Great job Doc

Thanks for the replys guys. I dont think i would like to take the gamble myself, was just curious to to what the opinions were of tthe forum

Hi, just checked the site again, unfortunately they dont ship to ireland, just mainland UK. Im over in england at the mo with work so been using them whilst im over here.

If you have to go elsewhere just be careful where you buy from on the internet.

I would poss try your local GP and see if they will prescribe you for propecia. I know boots have a hair loss program however that works out at 30 pounds sterling per month

Sorry i couldnt help more

Hi, i've never heard of them so cant comment. However i know a few of us get ours from uk finasteride - Just another WordPress site. It's a legit site and the prices are very reasonable.

Hope this helps

Hi, i have noticed more and more cases recently of surgeons like Dr Umar showing some impressive cases of HT having used nape hair as well as what is classed as the safe zone. Was just curious to what people on the forums views where on using nape hair?

Regards

Hi there, and welcome to the forum. Nice write up:)

The emotions and worry you are going through are normal, even i was nervous when i had my second op, most of the guys on here will confess that no matter how many ht's they have, there still is an element of worry and concern.

The doc you have chosen to go with has proven results, me personally i have been impressed by alot of the results i have seen from his clinic.

Your hair doesnt look to bad fella, you seem to have quits dense hair and the front looks to be holding up well. Now your on propecia that should held as it seems to work best in the crown area. Alot of the outcome of an HT is down to what you bring to the table, with density, hair characteristics and donar supply. I think you will be pleased with the outcome as you seem to be bringing alot to the table

Best of luck with your HT, hope it goes well for you

Regards:)

No worries. Best of luck with your up coming op. hope all goes as planned for you

Hi, i think it just depends how honest you want to be about your transplant mate. When i went to New York i just said i was going for a holiday break and no further questions were asked. I stayed there for 3 days then just came home as planned

Regards

N-6,

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Was just unsure, i know alot of people say it,s the hair count that matters not the graft count.

Thanks again
