  1. But if you can go to that job with toppik on your head why can't you take a 10 day vacation and return with some redness? Just tell people what you had done and be confident about what the results will ultimately be.
  2. Sorry, but I don't think you'd be well served by the forum telling you it looks great and you're ready to start performing surgery on your own head, if only you had the tools. Of the two pictures I think the natural one looks best. You're probably not fooling anyone with the toppik so why not go have it done by a professional and live with the redness for a while? Who cares what people think. I'm sure people know I had something done but none of us should be embarassed that we took a step to improve on nature. And I believe my instructions said I could apply toppik after 2 weeks if I wanted so why not just do that?
  3. I had to check my phone to see if it was April 1. Is this a joke? The guy's hair in the "toppik" picture looks ridiculous. You can tell that's fake from a mile away.
  4. Dr. Cooley, do you find that the transplanted hairs tend not to shed as much and, if so, is that a problem when the growth begins? I'm over 6 weeks past my second procedure (with ATP this time) and still have the majority (I think) of the transplanted hairs. That wasn't the case last time.
  5. I had a spot along the scar the size of a fingertip that hurt really bad even with the slightest touch for the first two weeks. It eventually went away though.
  6. How many grafts do you "typically" need to burn to camo a thin strip scar?
  7. If you FUE into a "good" strip scar are you normally able to shave down without seeing the scar?
  8. A few more observations on my part. I'm now almost 6 weeks post-op. I used this stuff and still have a good number of hairs that haven't fallen out. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I remember last time around on one of my follow-ups the doctor plucked some of the transplanted hairs out to make room for the new ones to come through. Anyone have thoughts on this? Also, I'm starting to get pimples already. Last time I think that happened after several months.
  9. I don't buy that doctors in Turkey and India can do FUE better than the US. Look at the recent writeup of the conference these guys had. All the Americans were the presenters. Wesley is such a bright guy that he's invented a new technology for FUE. I've met with him and he came across as very knowledgeable and caring. Price might be better in the third world, but there's just no way a US or Canadian doctor can't get the same results. What you probably have is the foreign clinics more active in posting their results on this forum.
  10. I've posted this before. I had something like 2500 grafts FUT from a NYC doctor two years ago and my girlfriend of a year had no idea I had anything done. Even when I told her she had to really dig in my hair to find the scar. I don't think I could get nearly the number of grafts over my lifetime FUE as I'll be able to get FUT. Have anyone ever seen a Rahal patient, for example, say FUT was the worst decision they've ever made?
  11. Vitamin E goes on the scar or recipient area? Is there anything you can do on the scar after the stitches are out to make it heal better and faster?
  12. How in the world do you know exactly how many hair survived the first procedure?
  13. You mentioned that the scar wasn't that long. I was wondering why it would be shorter than the first one if both procedures were about the same size.
