pma: ive got to say that day one post op i was completely ok then day two to day 5 the swelling was bad in my face! the anesthetic moved down into my eyes and cheekbones and i looked like sloth from the goonies for a few days so id say either have it done and then fly home the next day or wait it out for a week!

he said last week that he will be visiting the UK every couple of months and Mick at farjo has full details so maybe give mick a call, hes easy to talk to. It seems Dr. Lorenzo will be working back at his surgery in Madrid full time but Mick is taking his UK bookings? the best thing i did was to pick up the phone and make the call, i spent months and months deliberating and visited a couple of the more advertised and marketed UK clinics and got the feeling that they didnt know their ar*e from their elbow and as soon as i met Dr. Lorenzo i knew he was the guy for my hair op...that simple!

that you do but id recommend not rushing in and just shortlisting your options. Start with Dr. Jose Lorenzo then Dr Koray Erdogan then onto Dr. Basinga, Dr Bijan Feriduni etc etc and try to find out from here approx costs, any bad experiences and results from patients. I was ready to go with Dr Erdogan in Istanbul but luckily for me i didnt have to travel that far as Dr. Lorenzo was coming to the Farjo clinic in Manchester (im only 25 miles away!!!) so it fell at a great time for me. I was contemplating going to see him in Madrid at his surgery there but at the time he didnt take many foreign patients. Now i heard he's set up a couple more surgery rooms within his clinic there and is taking foreign patients through Mick at Farjo. maybe give mick a call and he will see you at the farjo clinic and talk you through things without any pressure or sales talk! he's a genuinely decent guy, i can vouch for that and Dr. Lorenzo is as Tina Turner sang...simply the best!!!

I would 'personally' stay well clear of transform or any other UK mass marketing campaign clinic as through personal research i found there to be no good FUE surgeons within the UK..apart from Dr. jose Lorenzo who was here for just one year and is now back in Madrid anyway. There are tons of other choices: Dr Basinga, Dr Koray Erdogan or even Dr. Lorenzo (my surgeon)...yes you may have to travel outside of the UK but if you want the best results then that shouldnt be a factor. There seems to be everyman and his dog getting onto the hair transplant bandwagon so i would be very weary of any pushy marketing campaigns in UK magazines/tv!!! just my opinion but i did do lots of research too for 2 years before choosing the right guy for me!

i would have gone with Dr Koray Erdogan in istanbul if i hadnt had the funds for Dr. Jose Lorenzo. I do know also that Dr. Lorenzo is friends with Dr. Erdogan and they share ideas etc and i 'think' i read that they both do manual extraction and transplanting...i know Lorenzo does as he did mine! Dr. Erdogan gets great reviews online and i would say he's about half price of what you would pay for Dr. Lorenzo but then you have to factor in a flight/accomodation etc to Turkey.

hi jhonny, no it wasnt mentioned to Dr Lorenzo about toppik but i wanted to give my head the best possible chance of healing and wait until all the scabs had fallen etc. I guess i was lucky in that i could wear a baseball cap or nothing hiding it in these first 2 months as i work from home so didnt have to venture out too much. saying that the transplanted hair didnt start to fall out until about 6 weeks so i was ok to go out to the gym etc without toppik up to this point.it was the 8 weeks to 6 months phase when i felt i needed it the most when it was falling and new hairs were coming through...the ugly duckling phase!!!!

no worries and hope you manage to get in with Dr. Lorenzo....im guessing this is the time when he wishes human cloning was possible, then he'd be a very rich man!!!!!

------ hey romaninio, all good thanks mate! and you? heres my update on 6.5 mnths, hope yours is going swell!!!!!????

------ from my check-up last week he was heading back to Madrid and in his email to me this morning with my photos on he said he was just settling back in so im guessing hes going to be back up and running soon. Maybe call Mick at Farjo as they still have links with his Madrid surgery and i heard them saying that they have 2 new operating studios in the Madrid practice....business must be good but then again he's a legend....well in my eyes...and hair anyway!

hers some before and after pictures as they are really good for comparisons, i even forget how little hair i had in that front area....until i saw these!!!!

p.s the skin still looks pink in some of the photos but in reality its not noticeable! using couvre painted on the skin by applying lightly onto a sponge applicator masked this in the lesser growing back months.tip....go easy on the couvre and have some make up wipes to hand to wipe any off of the forehead where its not meant to be! then lightly work into the frontal hair line with a wipe so you get rid of the defined line it creates to create a natural effect amongst the hairline
