Hi I am late 40s and had a HT in 2012 with really good results. My crown has gradually thinned since then and I would like to try something to help that. I was considering FUE but then read that maybe SMP would be a better alternative, what is the recommended advice on this please? Thanks for any help Barry

Thanks for the nice replies....I am delighted with the results and hopefully more growth to come too. If anyone is considering a HT with Dr Path I couldn't recommend him and his team highly enough.

Really happy...He is a great surgeon. I never imagined it would look so good to be honest.

Hi, Sorry its been 3 months since I have updated but I have been so busy with work I haven't had a chance. Hair Restoration Journal for Barry1108 - 9 months plus

Thanks very much for the reply, thats put my mind at rest.

Hi, I had a HT 6 and a half months ago and the progress since has been great. I am really happy with how things are going but I have one concern. I still use regaine foam every night and whenever I use it there are always around 7 or 8 hairs on my hand afterwards. Is this normal or should I be worried? I am just getting used to having hair growing and feeling more confident and I dont want it to end before I even really enjoy it. Is there something I can do or is it just a temporary thing. I re-started using the foam about 2 months ago and its been happening since then.

Absolutely delighted mate....Cant believe how good it looks at 6 months. 1 question though, do you still have some shedding daily? I use rogaine foam once a day and when I put it on I always have a few hairs on my hand afterwards. Is that normal?

Hi Aramis, I had 3000 grafts which resulted in approximately 7000 hairs.

Thanks for the reply JF. Your hair is looking great now, congrats! I have updated my blog with my 5 month photos now, got to say I am absolutely delighted with how it is going. Getting my HT with Dr Path is one of the best decisions of my life. Hair Restoration Site for Barry1108

I seem to remember seeing something on here about the amount of growth per month following HT, maybe posted by one of the surgeons. Could anyone let me know what it is? for example it was like a table month 3 - 20% month 4 - 25% etc...for 12 months. I am just curious that 4.5 months post op how much more growth I can look forward to as I am really happy with how it is now. Thanks!

Hi Riloal, thanks for the comment. Prices with Dr Path are very reasonable - I had around 3000 grafts and the cost was around ?4750. The accommodation and living costs for Bangkok are also really cheap. Are you considering Dr Path?

Hi, just over 4 months since my HT with Dr Path and the last 4 weeks I have seen some great growth, the temples and hairline are really starting to come through - this is the first time that I can honestly say that I am happy to have had my HT. I am happy with how it looks now at 4 months, so really excited to see what the coming months bring. Hair Restoration Site for Barry1108

Hi Johnnie, I had 3000 grafts with Dr Path in May, just as the 3.5 month stage now and seeing some really good growth. I had a haircut yesterday so will update my blog with some photos tonight if you want to have a look. I am sure you will look great when the growth kicks in. Good luck! Barry

I have been on finasteride since September 2011 and have experiences side effects bad enough for me to stop taking it 3 weeks ago. In May this year I had a HT and I am just about seeing some new growth which is exciting. I obviously want to try to retain what I already have too so what is the safest most effective way to do this without going back on finasteride? Should I use rogaine foam and/or something else in tablet form? Some advice would be really appreciated Thanks.
