  1. I'm quite sure its the transplanted hair! Thats why I'm quite alarmed!! I truly hope the hairs would grow back.. this really sucks!!!!!!!
  2. Well, I was present in the middle of a food fight so you can imagine how my hair would be afterwards. I had to wash my hair 4-5 times with a high quality shampoo to get all the grease out!! But I guess if this HT was done properly, this wouldn't be a no-no!
  3. :confused: I had a HT with Dr path 6 months ago and have went through all the early stages of recovery including shedding until recently i started seeing very good results that made me extremely excited, but a week ago, after I washed my hair several times with shampoo, I noticed my hair got thinner in the front and is still is thinning. I immediately emailed Dr Path and one of the nurses replied back saying that this can happen and that then lost hair will grow back 3-4 months later... What do think guys? Did any of you experienced this before? I'm starting to get really depressed!!!
  4. Hello, I had my HT with Dr. Path in Bangkok on the 29th of September 2011, and boy was I glad I did!! I received 3956 grafts and everything went very smoothly. Dr.Path is a very professional doctor and knew exactly what I wanted. I just couldn't thank him enough for making this a very pleasant experience, unlike my first HT with another Dr. This was my 2nd transplant, as my first, performed by some doctor called Dr. Tahsin Al Wahab in Bahrain 2 yrs ago, was a complete waste of time, money, and 2200 grafts! I have asked him lots of questions prior to the surgery only to find out that he lied to me. I asked him if he would be transplanting the grafts himself and he said he would only to find out that the nurses did most of the work, and the only thing he did was butcher me!! He "literally" butchered my head while removing the grafts.. He actually was ripping off the skin with his fingers that I could hear my skin being ripped off like a piece of cloth which led to a severe cut in the blood vessels. I was in total shock seeing how brutal he was performing the surgery on me and blood was pouring from my head down to my shoulders that I actually felt so nauscious and light headed. He didn't even bother to at least stitch it, but rather stitched the outer skin in hopes that the vessels would heal their own. All of this which I didn't know was happening until later. I suffered from horrible pain for 3 weeks post op as my donor area was VERY swollen because of the blood accumulating under the stitched skin.I just couldn't bare the pressure it caused! I went to 4 doctors hoping that someone would help relieve the pain but no one did. they all asked me to go the doctor who performed the surgery to remove the stitches and fix the problem. When I went back to Dr. Tahsin for the 2nd time, begging him that there is something wrong and this didn't seem right, he was very rude and actually told me to "toughen up" and get over it and that this is all part of the healing process, which I knew was not true and that I didn't have to go through all this pain. 3 weeks post op, while I was working on my laptop trying to forget about the pain, all of a sudden the stitches split open because of the pressure of the accumulated blood and I was bleeding from head to toe, like a F*****G pig!! I don't know how, but I managed to call my parents who happen to live near by to come and rush me to the ER. I reached the ER completed RED from head to toe! The doctor was shocked and immediately rushed me to the operations room to perform surgery under full anesthesia, which I had to pay over a $1300 for!! Not to mention the money I paid for the HT surgery as well which I didn't see any good results except for a very wide donor area scar. I decided to share my story with everyone to help other people make right decisions!! DO YOUR HOMEWORK!! research well and never let the price of an HT dictate your choice of a doctor!! An unprofessional doctor can actually kill you!! Its not worth it !! anyway, here's my pics before and one week post op with Dr. Path... Its now one month post op and the transplanted hair is shedding.. which is making me worry a bit! But I do hope they will start to grow back in a couple of months .. I know that Dr. Path is a great doctor and I can't wait to see the results. Let me know what you think
  5. Hello, This is my first post in this forum. I have been loosing my hair since I was 17 years old. Fortunately, I was well educated enough on hair loss to start using Rogaine 5% (On and off) over the past years and I can see results. Atleast I'm not loosing more hair, or maybe it has slowed down the process, as some of my friends who started loosing their hair after I did are now completely bald, and I'm not thanks to Minoxidil. I have also used Propecia for like a year with no success whatsoever. Side effects where unbearable (Pain in Testicles), and hair loss has increased. So I decided to switch to Dutastride (0.5 mg) daily and it work for me. I did see hair growth and side effects were surprisingly less and more tolerable. But I recently have stopped using it in fear of long term effects since this drug is not FDA approved for hair loss. Does any of you think I did the right thing or not? Is there anybody using Dutastride here? I have been really happy with the results and do not want my loose my hair. I had a HT 3 weeks ago with Dr. D.Pathomvanich in Bangkok (3900 grafts) and I am EXTREMELY happy I did. Can't wait for my hair to grow. I will posting pics soon. I would of course want to have optimal results with my HT and the only way to achieve that is to continue using Dutastride, Rogain, and the laser comb.
