  1. Thanks everyone for your advice. I've discovered that the recent excessive hair loss is due to a rheumatoid arthritis medication I'm on. I'm hoping the loss will reverse now I've come off the medication. I'm still planning on another HT tho, as it always desired more density and less hassle. Hasson and Wong sound like a good option for a mega session
  2. Hi community, I've trawled through the forum posts since 2012, when I had my last FUT HT. I'm back again, as I'm at a point where I seem to have lost more hair, with other hair becoming very short and thin. I'm no longer happy or able to 'fake' my hairstyle, and dating is a nightmare; not being able let anyone run their fingers through my hair, making lame excuses, avoiding being in water. Being aware of people trying not to be obvious that they're looking at my hair. Even some cruel people at work slipping out the odd "lego head" "wig" joke. Anyway, I now aim to have another FUT, and would like some honest, experienced, patient reviews and advice on the following, shortlisted surgeons: Dorin & True, Hasson & Wong, Dr Feller. My details to date are as follows, with current pics taken today attached: 1st FUT 2005, age 29. London, UK, around 1000 grafts - results where pretty poor, with simple hairline requiring further FUTs, which I accepted. 2nd FUT 2009, age 33. London, UK (different dr), around 1500 grafts - again poor results, with slightly increased hairline and depth, but not much. 3rd FUT 2012, age 36. Ottawa, Canada, Dr Rahal. 2800 grafts. Pretty good results, stronger hairline, frontal area more dense. Some tempal density, satisfactory on the right side only. I've been on finestaride since 2005, I did have some labido issues at first which eventual diminished. I started on Rogain foam 2 months ago, I'm waiting a few more months before I judge results of that. Note, my recent thinning was before I started on the Rogain, as I know it can cause initial shedding. So I'm now considering my 4th FUT, to hopefully complete the job of a decent head of hair I can let people touch, and cut short. Any recommendations on suregeons, in addition to all my research would be very welcome before I take the plunge. I'm aiming for early next year. Thanks
