  1. I had my HT in Feb 2014 with the well-regarded Farjo clinic (UK). After a few weeks research I decided to go ahead and a week after my consultation I was offerred a good price due to another patient cancelling. Immediately after it was over I was full of buyer's remorse! I had a long scar, metal staples in my head and looked odd, and I paid $$$$ for this! Four weeks later and looking very bald I kept visting these boards and reading posts to reassure myself that it's all normal. I also read expert opinions and the shedding period is normal - albeit hard to endure! My scar healed well and after three months the hair started growing. A few more months and the growth continued. It's now exactly six months to the day and I have good growth, I am happy with it. I no longer look bald and don't give my hair a second-thought, I feel much better in company. I hope there is still a little bit more growth to come but if not then I still consider it money well spent. I was 46 at the time of the op and still had some hair at the top and dense sides and I hope at this age I will not lose much more native hair. I have never taken medication for any condition, ever (except for surgery) so the idea of taking hair medications is a non-starter for me, I value my health too much. Every case is different so the only advice I will offer is that you should choose a good doctor. I haven't posted any photos from the outset because I don't have the nerves of steel to deal with all the inevitable unfavourable opinions. The only opinion that matters to me is mine and the surgeon's. Good Luck to all of you.
  2. Good result Readytodoit, hope you continue to improve. I had mine done by Dr. Farjo 11 weeks ago and having got past the shedding phase I'm now hoping for some decent growth.
  3. Very good growth, you are a lucky man and I hope that it continues to grow well over the next year!
  4. I had my HT 9 weeks ago with Farjo in the UK. I'm starting to get regular prickly sensations a few times daily and was wondering if this is the 'start' of growth, ie hairs breaking through the skin. Some of these sensations can be sharp and momentarily painful. Would like to hear from veterans! Thanks in advance.
  5. I'll second what Matt1978 said about Farjo and Mick. I had an op at Farjo in Manchester in Feb and despite being in the 'ugly duckling phase' (I'm ugly anyway!) I feel reassured that I chose Farjo because they are specialists and have an excellent track record. I have also found Mick to be most humble and helpful in this stressful business.
  6. I'd like to know the answer to this too. It is vital that this site retains its integrity and supports good surgeons and criticizes those who fall below the high standards which are expected.
  7. Congratulations Matt1978! Must feel like being born all over again!
  8. Phew, glad to see this. I had 3500FUT with Farjo in Feb 2014 and I'm going through that depressing phase where I start to question the whole thing. But seeing this lifts my spirits. Congratulations Mark and thanks for sharing the pics.
  9. Really glad to see this as I had op by Farjo too for 3500FUT and I hope to grow as well as you have Mark. Very happy for you mate!
  10. Thanks for letting me know that the grafts which Farjo inserted came to fruition. He has a good track record and I think it will work out in my case. I am much older than you and I have black hair and dark skin so it gives the illusion of more density (so I keep reading!). Once again, I am very happy for you because getting ones hair back is a great thing!
  11. Your hair looks great now. I had op with Farjo in Feb and I hope it turns out well.
  12. Good result so far. Like you, I had mine done at the Farjo clinic in Manchester (UK) and I hope we both get results with which we are happy.
