hey man... thanks a lot for your post - your surgeries look great I had recipient area soley at front of the head around a receeding hairlne. yet i seem to have lost a great deal of hair .... in fact, tonnes of it... all over my head really - it's very very thin all over & the bath.. my clothes... the computer keypad... you name it are constantly caked in my hairs... 8(( pretty horrible experience I didnt shave my head for the surgery and am slightly worried that, having not done that, thier may have been irreperable damage to the existing hair... what d'you think? Anyway, it was my first HT ... i had 1700 grafts to the front and i'm now 5 weeks later. Looking pretty awful right now and holding out for some regeneration/ growth over the the coming months all the best - Chris

hey man ... yeah i take propecia and its worked for me well for the last year ... but i dont think it was gunna make a blind bit of difference to the shed that happened post HT to be honest.... sure, it has definitley helped slow/stop the hair loss from DHT damage ... but this shed/shock loss wasn't from DHT .. it's from all the damage done to the scalp during the operation... I'll keep taking the propecia and await the re-growth... thanks for your advice though man

Hey Richie... Yep.. ugly duckling is right .. thin as babies hair mine is right now 8( thanks a lot for your response... feels good to have a few people say it will grow back & i'll worry less about the sensitivity of the recipient site now too ... cheers! As far as it goes with the clinic - yeah, since having it done I have done a lot of research and seen there are some more renound surgeons/clinics out there that do specific and higly praised work ... but as far as I can tell from every aspect of the procedure, from the consultation to the surgery its self ... they were great. I definitely had Dr Shahmalack performing my surgery - He did my initial consultation, the consultation just before surgery & was there performing the op on me. You're right, I know the celeb thing isn't a good way to look for the right clinic - but Dr Shahmalak is a well reputed surgeon anyway, even outside of his hair clinic, working at leading UK hospitals, contributing to universitiy studies and pioneering some new haor treatments. I think, having had the surgery done, that he is a genuine, talented, friendly surgeon. Many thanks for the adive though - it's definintley a good shout to warm people of this stuff as I'm sure there are a tonne out there who dont do justice to something that is so important (and expensive) to the patient. Thanks Richie ~Plus, I'll post all pictures as time goes on - with comments - so I'll have good measure of wether the job was done well ! Chris

ok great - thanks man i had it done at a UK Clinic called 'Crown Cosma Clinic' under Dr Shahmalak. They have a few clinics around the UK. He's done some work on some well know celebs, a quite famous doctor from a TV show... and he is pioneering some treatments with eye lash transplant etc - so feel pretty confident in his ability. The team were great - fun, professional & seemed very competent. I was booked in to have 1500 done but they ended up transplanting 1700 .. 'piggybacking' the excess 200 grafts I'll post all the pics as time goes on & it grows through

Hey Mickey 85 ... many thanks for your reply great to hear that! ... I've lost so much hairf through the whole head to shock loss that it can be pretty disconcerting! Cheers for the good news (and breathe..)

Hi .. this is my first post on here having just this site a couple weeks ago .. it's great to have it here so many thanks to the founders - I've found it all pretty stressful post HT and seeing peoples experiences has helped no end I'm just over three weeks after my first ever HT now (1700 grafts - Strip) only placed at the front of the head for a receeding hairline ( was NW 3 ish..) and there's a couple things I'd love peoples experience with/comments on if poss Firstly (and most distressingly) I've had a MONUMENTAL shed going on since i started washing my hair properly (day 10ish) that has carried on now for about two weeks everyday !! 8( I've lost loads of thickness/density all over my head.. feels and looks really thin compared to before surgery.... IS THIS NORMAL?? WILL IT GROW BACK??!! Also, I've noticed that if i bend down... sneeze, blow my nose, etc etc then I feel an immediate tingling/itch all over the recipient area - as if the blood that goes to the scalp makes them tingle --- Is this ok and normal?? Any comments would be hugely appreciated! Many Thanks - Chris
