1morehair

Hi all, well 7 months on and i must admit i am happy with what i have to date. Clearly i would be lying if i said was hoping for a full head of hair, like the ones in my 20s but i do appreciate in reality this was never going to happen. My hair has started to thicken up and is very much better than 12 months ago! i have a hair line back and my crown is also looking much thicker. The key thing to point out is that no one can tell i have had a transplant and the hairline is very natural. The scar on the back of my head is hardly noticeable and i think i could have a number 2 blade without people even seeing it... All on all very happy to date with my procedure and would recommend both transform and Dr Bhatty. With 4+ months of more hair growth and what i have thickening i am extremely pleased with the results! Regimen: 1. Rogaine 5% Foam (1 application per day) 2. Proscar 0.5mg once (3) per week 3. Tony Maledy Shampoo (three times per week)

oh one more thing whilst i think of it, Arnica seems to have helped with reducing the bruising and swelling...

Hi Badbeat - thanks for your reply and agree. I guess its always a gamble and the more experienced the better! i must admit all of the comments on here are making me nervous but then i assume as there is no real bad feedback found on the internet that something really bad may not happen. I will keep everything crossed and hope for great results.

Newchapter, cost is around ?6k, there is a small deposit and remainder is monthly over 12 months.

Hi, Sorry for the late reply, already done i'm afraid. So far i must admit i seem to be pleased but clearly early days. I am unsure on how i tell at this stage if its a success or not! the day went quick and the team were very friendly. The Dr Bhatti took the strip and stiched me up, this seems to be holding but clearly i cant tell yet whether this will be a large or small scar. I had i believe around 3800 implants but again i cant tell if this is the case or not, these were done between front (mainly) middle and back. The doctor made the slits and a group of experienced nurses put them in. I assumed this was normal practice. The whole treatment took around 8 hours. The care i received during the day was fantastic so if this is anything to go by then 10 out of 10, but clearly there is more to this treatment than good customer care. I have no swelling, other than a little buldge around the donor area. This again i assume is down to whats happened. The hairline created looks ok, but again hard to tell at this stage. I did have an incident where i moved one of my existing hairs which was clearly stuck to an implant and as such two implants fell out on day one! after small bleeding this stopped, as you can imagine this was not the greated feeling i had!! Today my head is itchy, i have washed it for the first time and holding off from itching!!! I ready you reviews with interest and clearly i hope that they are not right. I have seen Dr in Florida in the past and must admit all were ok but felt more confident with Dr Bhatti. Also worth noting that i approached Dr Fargo but clearly he has too much work on as getting an appointment was nearly impossible, it is also worth noting that he asked me to send pictures via email to assess whether i was a case or not for a hair transplant. He responded with 'no' however both US and UK Dr said i was....... so unsure why he would say that without even seeing me, not a great experience. I will keep you all posted on my future experience as i believe its important that if this is successful or not that others get a fair and balanced view.

Hi thanks, yes I know about the guy from the tv. He was upset as te tv refused for transform to pay for his session and as a result he was extremely negative about the whole experience. He later, 6 months plus was interviewed and reported to be happy with the treatment. I guess that's TV for you! Any thoughts or suggestions on my other questions?

Hi It is great to see so many great and succesul cases and here and it has really helped me make the decision to look at surgery. In short i am about to embark on strip surgery this week. I have been considering it for many years but decided that if i did not do it this year then i would likely never to do so. Within a few weeks to go i am, as you can imagine starting to get nervous! and wanted to seek advice and guidance from yourselves.... Firstly my surgery is with Dr Bhatty from Transform in the UK however on looking on the internet i see little or no evidence of bad stories, has anyone come across him on here and is the news generally positive? I am getting strip surgery with around 3700 grafts split between the front and rear of my head. I am concerned about my ability to cover this up after 2 weeks, more so with the front inplants than the rear scar. Thoughts on this or is this just normal? my hair is of an ok length and could be combed forward to cover some of the redness. my final question is around how people manage the growth in coming months i.e. how do you ensure the shorter hair looks normal with longer hair around it? is this just something you have to live with until its all of the same lenght? Thanks in advance for you guidance and support.
