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 !
