His credentials look good and I was impressed with what I've seen (he posts his work on a foreign forum and I had come across the examples when researching). I wanted some more information (first hand from patients) so posted here. All fairly straight forward. I've actually booked with Dr Dermisoy now though. Lucky6, thanks for taking the time to rely. Very impressive results, hope everything continues to go well for you.

Hi thanks for the replies guys, appreciated. Voipman, hoping to do as you say. Get my hair cut short in the lead up - both so people see me with short hair (less shock when I see them post op!?) and then just prior to op itself. The trimming of hairs was more me thinking that it would be less obvious upon my return to work if I had trimmed them down slightly. As they usually shed I didn't think it would matter but I'm probably being daft!? Again, once the ugly duckling phase starts I would look to keep it short to hopefully restrict how it looks. Although again Im not sure if that will actually work in practice.

Hi, looking for a little bit of help. I've pretty much made my mind up to go for a transplant op in August (although I've been thinking about it since the end of last year as I've got lots on and this is really the only time I'm free). I'm a little bit worried about the post op period and would appreciate some views. Just how red will my head be post op!? And how long will it be before it settles down? I'm hoping my operation will not be overly noticeable however I do understand that there will be redness especially directly after the op (I'd hope to take 2 or 3 weeks off week immediately after but I know it will last longer - just wondered how intense it will be!). In the "ugly duckling" phase, is there anything that can be done to help with this? I wear my hair short at the back and sides now in any case - I would hope to keep doing this. Can you trim the transplanted hairs? And how many days after the op could this be done? I don't have much hair at the front now anyway and whats their is probably on the way out (I am now on Propecia however). By keeping it short I thought it might not be as noticeable? Thoughts appreciated anyway. Thanks.
