  1. This may be common knowledge, but does anyone know if Rooney's procedures have all been FUE? Does anyone have an estimate of how many grafts he's had to date?

     

    dont know, think it was fue though . wonder if he is on meds . or cant he as a footballer . ie is propecia a banned substance i wonder ?

  2. I did shed quite a bit, but for me i need a second transplant to make it more "natural" and dense. It really sucks, but it is what it is. Its better to have something to work on than nothing :) Im soon gonna take the plunge for the second and last time, i really hope it sorts out for you, it really sucks waiting 1 year and not getting the result i wanted. I dont wish that dissapointment on ANYONE. Im crossing my fingers for you. I had a different situation than you. I had high hopes early, but i realized i didn't get the result i wanted 2 years after my HT, because i was in denial for over a year untill i realized it.

     

    how many fues did you have ?

  3. I don't understand these foreign clinics not taking visa credit prior to say it saves the patient some extra few bucks.

    I get it if it was a back street garage but not for a so called medical clinic, sounds very shady if you ask me & shouldn't be endorsed by this forum, but guess its impossible to have such policies in place

     

    yes sounds a bit dodgy to me:o

  4. Very impressive! Looks like its taken years off you!

     

    I had mine done with Dr Lorenzo 2 months ago and I can only hope mine is half as good as yours.

     

    Did you have grafts placed in the crown area as there seems to be significant improvement there too.

    great arnt they do you know if dr lorenzo will be in manchester beyond this year ? did you get yours done there ?
  5. Right, well thought I better start the new thread in the FUE section now as that's where my next HT is heading.

     

    Ok as promised, I thought I would give a little feed back on my consultation today at farjo clinic with Dr Lorenzo.

     

    I set of in the early hrs this morning on what should of been a 2, to 3 hr drive, but due to the fact id never done the drive, I left early and got there way to early too. I parked out the back of the clinic and Mick, kindly knocked the window of my car and woke me up when he arrived with Dr Lorenzo.

     

    The consultation was @07:45 fri 6th December. Id never been to the clinic before but came away very impressed, it truly is state of the art up there

     

    Mick is truly one of the nice guys out there, in an industry that has been known to not care about patients in general. We had spoke on the phone a few times and it was nice to finally meet a fellow irishman in person.

     

    Dr Lorenzo, was lovely, put me at ease straight away and it was a very laid back consultation, with the doc asking my views on best design of temple points. My temple points actually had a little input from the doc, myself and mick :-)

     

    The doc asked about my concerns and I said about my calibre of hair and the coarsness of it, I was concerned for the work I was wanting done. Dr Lorenzo said he will probably have to go just above my nape hair, still in the safe zone, but that's where my hairs are at there finest. The doc said strip, would never of worked for temple points with my calibre of hair, as you would never go just above the nape hair with a strip.

     

    Overall the doc said I would have been a norwood 4 by now, so things have not got worse since my previous operation 2 yrs ago. The doc said looking at my before pics, I have certainly responded well to drugs and have defiantely had regrowth in the vertex area.

     

    Donar, after this operation of approx. 600 grafts I should still have 4500-5000 grafts in the bank if I want to continue fue only, however the doc reckons I wont need anymore after this op :-)

     

    Mick, not sure if you will be on anytime soon, but thank you for coming in on yr day off too see me for my consultation. That's way and above the call of duty.

     

    I will have my camera on 20th and will get some pics of the day out, but overall I came away very excited about my hopefully last HT procedure.

     

    let me know how it goes. as I am thinking about going to him
