Hi Snell , At your age I was about same level 2a . I,m now 50 much more advanced than 2a soon too have first hair transplant . You still have lots of time on your side . Over the last 8 years have at times used a laser and put apple cider vinegar in my hair . I don't notice much change myself . But strange have people say too me are you growing your hair back . Apple cider is cheap too start with . Hope I helped .

Hi Carlos , Yes its a big decision have you already used search function for dr pong lots posts on this site . After research ive done hes right up there . Three aussies I know of going next month .

Hi - Im from Australia and living in Chiang Mai, need any advice on hotels etc let me know, PM and i will give you my Thai Number

Thanks Sethticles will contact closer to lift off .

I saw Dr Pong last year in July and have had fantastic results with the 2992 grafts he extracted. I'm going back on August 22nd to have the crown done. Like you and everybody else I went through the usual worries but you'll see as soon as you walk in at how professional and clean everything is and the staff and your worries will soon disappear.

The first 2-3 nights are quite uncomfortable (around the donor area) but after that it's not to bad. He give you all the necessary pain killers you need plus extra, depending on how much swelling you get (and how ugly you look lol ) you can go out and pretty much do normal things after the 2nd or 3rd day.

I remember when I had my stitches out (day 7) I booked tours like the white water rafting, quad biking and zip lining through the forest, it was fine and I had no problems at all. :cool:

There's a great little hotel/B&B literally about 50 meters from his surgery(great breakfast, clean, free wifi) which I stayed at and I'll be staying again. They said they get alot of Dr Pongs patients staying there. I'm also from Australia so if you're gonna be there around the same time as me maybe we can catchup for a beer and I can fill you in about my experience.

Either way all the best with yours and don't worry to much

Thanks Johnny , will be there from 17th onwards booked in for Transplant 21st August . Be great too meet up . That bb/ hotel sounds good I haven't booked yet

That's great news Hairvana. I,m booked for late August .

Wow you must be so happy great result .

Yes take your time research . I have for a few years now . I think India is about half price again of Thailand . Not sure of Europes prices as didn,t want to travel so far . Thailand just seemed better country to recover in .

Hi Sc . Im sure Dr Path is closest recommended surgeon in Bankok . There is some Surgeons seem as qualified in Thailand . There is two members going in August that I know of . Russell

Hi Matts , Possible you just have a natural high hairline . I have a cousin in late 50 s now still looks same hair wise .

Thanks guys . I will be starting holidays mid August . So Dental first week or so perhaps hair transplant in third week . Send me a pm if you like James .

Thanks for input guys .

As im going for three weeks is it best to get transplant in first week or last week . Im also going to get dental work . My local dentist told me I will need some crowns in future . Could these be done same week as HT . Thanks for advice .

btw ,i,m 50 years old nw 6 according to pictures sent to clinics . So require 5000 / 6000 graphs . First precedure perhaps 2500 /3000 graphs . As this will be front perhaps will be happy enough to stop then .
