Hi, I'm from Cork, Ireland and got a HT from Dr Feller in January 2009. Before that, I'd had one very bad HT with Conor Kiely based in Cork, Ireland. I just wanted to post my updated pics here. Dr Feller put 3200 grafts into the front area and through the middle towards the crown. I'm absolutely delighted with the results. The job Dr Feller and his excellent team did was fantastic. I'm 100% satisfied with the results -- great hairline and excellent density. I can't really say anymore -- all I can do is recommend Dr Feller 100%, and thank him for such an outstanding job. Also thanks to his terrific team. And finally thanks to Spex who helped me out when I was considering a HT at Dr Feller's. And last note -- the procedure and post-procedure experience was a dream. Hardly any discomfort at all - felt great the next morning, didn't feel like I'd had an operation at all. This was brilliant, as I was basically butchered in my first HT. I felt really sick for days after my botched HT from Conor Kiely, not to mention the fact that the anaesthetic wore off the donor area DURING the operation -- I was lying flat on the chair, resting on the recently stitched area, with basically no anaesthetic. Anyway, I must write a full update some day on Conor Kiely's terrible operation, but for now I just want to say that I had an extremely comfortable experience from Dr Feller and his team, and of course the results are top-notch. The first 10 photos are the pics I sent to Dr Feller before the op. You can see what a terrible job my first HT was (from Conor Kiely, Ireland). The next 5 are Dr Feller's pics from the day of the op. Again you can see the results of my terrible first HT from Conor Kiely, and where Dr Feller marked out my hairline. Then you can see a pic of just before the op, where my head is shaved and Dr Feller's marked out the area for the 3200 grafts. And then there are two post-op pics where you can see all the tiny grafts. Finally you can see 8 pics of the result 7 months on. Absolutely fantastic. These pictures are located in the following picture album: http://hair-restoration-info.c...66060861/m/347108493 I'm posting this message again because my post yesterday was a picture topic and people can't comment in a picture topic. Thanks

Don't think too negatively, Trebor. I was in the same boat with Conor Kiely, kicking myself that I'd gone to him. It's not so much the money - it's all the precious donor hair he clearly wasted in his operation. There's no way he knows what he's doing. Nobody should go to him. For my details, read the following link: http://hair-restoration-info.c...66060861/m/487103701 called "Great HT from Dr Feller on Jan 22nd 2009" posted by me, irish30. You will see my year-after results there. Don't be too down on yourself. There are a lot of hacks out there obviously, and they are still operating because there are guys getting stung every single day. If I were you, I would look to the future and make sure your 2nd transplant is done by a top doc. I just went to Dr Feller and I think the results in 9 -10 months time will be really good, just by looking at how much he got in compared to the Conor Kiely's miserable effort.

Hey Petchski, was offline for a few days. I got a friend to take out the staples. You can't do it on your own, but you don't need a medical person to remove the staples because you will have the staple remover from Dr Feller. If someone knows about your HT and you feel you can ask them, that's the easiest way. See picture of how to use the staple remover. My friend removed them for me and it was virtually painless, so it does not have to be a nurse. Otherwise, you could just make an appointment with the local hospital and just say you need some staples removed from a surgery abroad. No need to tell them why until you actually meet the nurse who'll take them out. Sorry for late reply. Let me know how you get on. Cheers

Hey everyone. I was staying in a friend's house for a while after surgery, whose Internet went on the blink, so couldn't get online. But I'm back now. Thanks for posting the pics on the websites, Spex. Look at the pre-op picture where my hair is shaved down and Dr Feller has marked out the hairline, etc. You can see how spaced out the grafts from my 1st transplant are, and how there are large patches where there are no grafts whatsoever. Also, notice how the 1st transplant didn't go anywhere near my natural hairline, leaving a big gap. My hairline has not receded since the time of my 1st transplant - Kiely just didn't get anywhere near it. You could land a plane in the gap between transplanted hair and natural hair. And then of course you can see Dr Feller's great work, at how much he was able to get in. And how he filled in some of that bridge that was developing between crown and front - really excellent. I'm really confident it will look good when it starts to come in down the line. I don't have any post-op pics of my 1st transplant, but I remember feeling dubious when looking at it immediately afterwards. With Dr Feller's, I can tell straight off it's going to be really good. I'll put the pics up on my blog and post the link here, and post up some pics one week on, two weeks on, etc. Ok, talk to you later.

Hi, just posting here regarding my HT experiences so far. I'm from Cork, Ireland, and when I originally decided to get a HT, I felt it was so daunting that my choice was to stay local. Within Ireland if I could. I had no idea results could differ so much from doctor to doctor. I wasn't aware of forums such as these - if I'd researched more and found them, it would have saved me a lot of trouble. So I got a HT from Dr Conor Kiely in Oct 2007 in Cork, Ireland. I was 28 then. The results were poor. He only managed to get 700-800 hairs growing in the front area. Hairs were very spaced out. No density at all. Plus there was a huge gap between the hairs he inserted at the front, and my natural hair. I was really disappointed with the outcome 12 months on. At the time of surgery, he was saying stuff like "that should give you enough coverage" . . . "depends on the light" . . . "you'll definitely need another one soon after". So I don't think he or his team were capable of inserting large numbers of grafts. I certainly didn't even get a thousand, more like 700-800. Ok, so when I decided to have a second HT to rectify the situation, I researched a lot more and came to the conclusion that my best bet was a US doctor. I took notice of Dr Feller's patients on various forums, and he certainly had proven results and a great reputation. So with the help of Spex I booked and just had the surgery on Jan 22nd 2009. (I've just turned 30 now, btw.) Travelling was not so much of a big deal after all. My advice to anyone from Ireland is to head to Dr Feller in New York. Stay in a hotel for a few days afterwards, then hop on the plane back home. It will be worth it and it's not as much hassle as you think, believe me. Dr Feller put in 3200 grafts. Gave me a more rounded, natural hairline than the 1st surgery in Cork. Went well back towards my natural hair so there wouldn't be any big gap between natural hair and new hair. Put some grafts into bridge that was developing between my front area and my crown. This should save me from having a bald strip between crown and front over the next while. All in all, the number of grafts look really nice and dense. I'm a few days after the surgery and I can see all the little hairs, how many there are, and how close they are together. I'm extremely happy with the results and I'm sure will be even happier in 10 months time. Ok, so Dr Feller has all the pics on his computer and is going to update them soon. I don't have any post-op pics of my first surgery in Ireland. The pics Dr Feller will post here are all from the day of the surgery, where you will see my hair before surgery (take note of the lack of density at the front from my 1st procedure), and then you will see some post-op pics, etc. So we'll get these up really soon - I just wanted to create this post as a placeholder for Dr Feller to upload the pics he took. Once the pics are up, etc, I can talk more about Dr Feller's procedure, etc. How there was a whole team of super professionals working on me. Two techs at all times, one working either side of my head to place the grafts. Techs were swapping out as well as it's very tiring work that goes on for a few hours. Dr Feller's clinic is a really professional, results-driven operation - you couldn't go wrong with Dr Feller. Ok, later. Irish30
