I did fue and went back to work after 3.5 weeks and no one batted an eye lid.

Generally surgeons recommend no more than 1500 in one session, I think once the follicles have been extracted the longer they are out of the scalp the survival rates diminishes, a bit like a tadpole can only survive so long out of water if you get my drift.

Mr/Mrs Cryingoutloud, whoever you are, I object to being called a shill, if you bothered to read my blog and my photo album, you would see I am a genuine person (who are you hiding behind the cartoon picture?) The original topic was Ziering yes or no, as I have used them and in particular the one in West London and the surgeon being Dr Ball, I thought it would be useful to give some honest feedback. Mr/Mrs Cryingoutloud, have you ever used Ziering or Dr Ball? probably not, so I don't really think your opinion counts for much does it? and is really not helpful to genuine people trying to make a fairly important decision and get some genuine advice. I thought using a forum such as this would be a helpful supportive environment for pre and post HT people. It's disappointing it attracts people who seem to be somewhat aggressive in there posts. I can only guess there is a underlying not wholly honest reason for your need to comment on something/someone you have not had any direct dealings with? I don't make the habit of posting on forums and my experience of the negativity of this forum means I will certainly not be posting or using them again. Signing off permanantly. Mr King

After extensive research of HT clinics I decided on Dr Ball at Zeiring Hammersmith for a FUE job. I personally was very impressed with Dr Ball and his assistants, the attention to detail and the pre-consultations was so much better than the consultations I had elsewhere, I am very pleased with my choice and the results are looking very good.

Day 6 and everything healing nicely, you cannit really see i have had a transplant now unless you look closely.

Not looking too red, I am hoping the redness has virtually gone by day 6, when I go on hols, I am using vaseline twice a day as directed to keep it moist.

Hello out there, I started gradually losing the density of my hair in my early thirties, I started on a course of propecia and minoxodil, and was on this for over 10 years. I can honestly say it was a good thing to do as my hairloss over the next 10 years was very limited. I wrongly or rightly came off the above as I did find that the propecia did give me some unwanted sexual side effects and was embarking on a new relationship which was a higher priority shall we say than my hair. I planned to let my hair fall out naturally and then have a transplant. Which I did, it took a good year for the propecia to wear off and when I had the transplant it was just the frontal area and to be honest there was not that much thinning although enough to have a couple of comments, I had about 1000 grafts (FUT) with the Wimpole clinic. It was ok and looking back I could see the difference but my hair was still thinning so I backed this up with hair fibes (toppik and nanogen). I am now 50 years old and after a couple of shocking looking photos I noticed my hair was really too thin for me and I was also getting a very minor bit of thinning at the crown. So for the last 9 months I have been back on the propecia and minoxidil and I do really think these products make a difference in stabilising hair loss.I do think I have got through the sexual side effects as my libido has comeback after 6 months, I just don't feel like sex as much as I use to (but then again I am 50 so does this play a part?) Yesterday 21st August 2014 I have had a 830 graft FUE under the guidance of Edward Ball ast Ziering in Hammersmith. I did a lot of reseach into choosing the right surgeon and company and I have to say I think I picked the best. I am very pleased with how the whole day went and from what I can see I think the results are going to be very good. A piece of advice try and meet the surgeon (not just the consultant) as this helped tremendously in making my decision to go FUE and not FUT (something the consultant tried to persuade me into). Each person has there own set of circumstances/hairloss and FUE maybe right for me but for others FUT. This is a blog to show progress so check back at 14 days, 1 month, 3 months, 5.... etc, fingers crossed! Apologies to those who think I already have a good amount of hair, but it is what your comfortable/confident with!
