Hoe gaat het jongen!? That HM/SIT thing is claimed to be available as soon as September 2004, as they say on haisite.com... PS : pleased to meet you. Maybe we could down a few beers together with Belgiumdude someday to celebrate our brand new full heads of hair! 27-NW2/3

Dr Bazan launched his HM protocol and is to introduce it in Septempber 2004. The guy, based in Mexico, is a star on HAIRSITE. Regarding the transplants he performs, the prices are very low. I have some doubts : 1/ No one never talks about him here and I know it is a serious forum, that's why I turn to you. Why is that? 2/ Has anyone here had a procedure with him? 3/ The guy is not mentioned in the international hair restoration board list. Or is it me? 4/ You have to pay per HAIR, not per graft (even for strip). What do you think? 5/ check the www.itzan.com and tell me... Thank you guys! 27-NW2/3

It's nice to see you again! Yes, I happened to know galeatomy was banned in North America and I must say it's kinda weird it's still available in Belgium, a rather serious country regarding surgery and medecine. I think we need more opinions about that. I don't know what doctors think about it... 27-NW2/3

I'd like to know if galeatomy is still advised nowadays? Has anyone undergone such a procedure? For those who wouldn't know what galeatomy is, it consists in performing fine cuts in a thin layer of muscle above the scalp - the galea - in order to unstress it. It is assumed that galea stressing is linked to male pattern hairloss. The cuts in the galea make it floppy again, releasing the tension exerted on the follicles and allowing blood flood enhancement. Therefore, hairloss is stabilized for a time (about ten years). I happen to know that galeatomy was very useful when performed before HT procedures just to keep and improve the density of the remaining hair. That's vague theory... I'd like to know more... What do surgeons think about it? Thank you 27-NW2/3

Thanks for your promt reply, guys! I think you're totally right! I could do with neckhair. I hadn't thought about it! Besides, I've got plenty of these. And It should look quite more natural as well. See you and keep a-rollin'! ps : Hey Arfy, is it you on the pic? 27-NW2/3

Hi there! I was just wondering whether it was advised to reconstruct the "temple points" (or "Elvis temples" don' know the exact name...) or not. I thought that way I could improve the resulting appearance of my hairline to better frame my face while preserving my donor site. The trouble is FUE are still so expensive! The rumour has it that bodyhair transplanted in the scalp tended to mimmick hair as time passes... What do you think? 27-NW2/3

in my previous post :"however I'm probably (surely) the best qualified one to advise you..." I meant : "...NOT the best qualified one..." Sorry! 27-NW2/3

Hi Veryvain! I'm a 27-year-old newbie abd I've been on this forum for almost a few weeks. Though I've never had any procedure so far, I started my "HT education" two months ago. I consulted various HT forums, hairloss abstracts, haircloning articles, countless before and after pics and doctor reviews, and tons of surgeon websites... I'm glad I found real, true, warm support here on Hairtransplantnetwork and however I'm probably (surely) the best qualified one to advise you, be sure you'll find a nice crew to rely on here! The only thing I can tell you is : "do your homework"! Here is what resulted from my search : -Good surgeons are often (not amways) low on prices (there is some logical explanation for this but too long to explain). -the golden rule : there are only a few ones to qualify out of the thousands of hairmills. -Good surgeons generally perform nothing else than HT. -Good surgeons ore OFTEN bases in Canada (NOT always) -Good surgeons are often discrete as they don't spend a fortune on infomercials, advertisement . They just don't need it that much : they achieve good reputation through outstanding results. -Good surgeons won't urge you, they have high sense of ethic, which doesn't match with aggressive marketing tricks (IMO). -Good surgeons use state-of-the art material... -Good surgeons should issue publications... that's just a personal statement but I should help you to find out what you need. Best of luck! 27-NW2/3

Want more? (don't care, you'll get it anyway!) (parental advice : the following post just sounds like shady oriental philosophy...) The bottom line... Good results and ethic lead to good reputation. Good results and ethic supplant marketing. Bosley need shitty infomercial crap to polish their image but they'd better spend a few bucks in microscopes. The wise man said... (uh... who laughed?) (I had warned you!) 27-NW2/3

IMO, good surgeons should not fall into infomercials. If you look close, the best are generally the cheapest too. And it seems they are not much fond of advertisement. Surgery and medecine is serious thing, it's no commerce! I do agree with Pat : experience relating, pic sharing and discussion on this forum constitute valid credentials. Infomercials are just marketing, marketing is the way to lie best to best sell crap just like Bosley, MHR, NHI and so on do. 27-NW2/3

Hey Lookingforhelp! My fellow baldie hereabove is damn right! I've been into that "HT investigation" for almost two months and the first piece of advice I was given was "DO YOUR HOMEWORK", i.e. learn, read, discuss, keep informed about hairloss before you do anything. "Hairmills" are everywhere and young desperate people are what they're looking for. Won't hesitate to ruin your life for bucks. Don't forget : 1/ The smarter, the happier with your final outcome! 2/ Solutions exist, feel confident in science, take your time! 27-NW2/3

Jupiter 23 : I'm glad you had a nice experience with your experience. Look cool, dude! To all : Thanks for sharing your experience and keep on posting your pics! Regarding the "JupitzHead" twin beast (see above) : The good point is that at least we know that the haircloning thing came to reality. 27-NW2/3
