    Nice to see someone older in my age range checking out transplant. Most of these forum posts seem to be people in their late 20's to 30's. I assume our older age drawback is the slower growth and healing time. Our advantage is the hair loss pattern is more set and wondering what other advantages and disadvantages we have at older age for hair transplant?

    It looks like you have fair skin which usually takes longer to get rid of the redness in the transplant area. How red does it look now?

    I am also considering him or Dr Vogel in Maryland and also would like additional feedback. Dr Lindsey posts alot of his positive results in another forum: https://www.baldtruthtalk.com/forums/16-Hair-Transplant-Results-By-IAHRS-Recommended-Surgeons

    How long can they be without blood supply?
  5. kensington
    Interesting because your pictures (Hair Restoration Social Network - Hair Loss and Transplant Photos) look great. Do you have fair skin? I heard that takes longer but never heard it to be years. I have fair skin and your post gives me good feedback on the post op challenges if I decide to do my first HT.

    Is this normal where someone can do more than one FUE assuming they are under 3000 grafts? Also another positive to FUE is less pain & numbness compared to FUT?

    It sounds like the questions I need to ask are: 1 -who does the anesthesia 2 -harvesting from donor 3 - slit making in recipient 4 - implants of grafts in recipient 5 - is HT the Doctor's full time work or do they do other plastic surgery Please let me know of other questions to ask because I am going to schedule appointments with 2 Doctors very soon. Thanks

    I am thinking of visiting Dr Vogel. Can you provide latest pictures?

    Does anyone have experience with DC Maryland Virginia HT Doctors that they can recommend?
  10. kensington
    Is it normal for the Doctor's assistant/support to put in alot of the FUE hairs if getting over a 1,000 transplant? I would assume that is a lot of manual labor and the Doctor doesn't do all the 1,000 or more transplants. Does the Doctor stay in the area and provide guidance and oversee the entire manual labor?

    I have only used Toppik. What are some scalp concealers you recommend?
  12. kensington
    I am in same situation between Dr Lindsey and Dr Vogel. Can you tell me more about each from your research?
  13. kensington
    I am considering HT and one drawback is the post op appearance and reactions. Please advise if Toppik or any concealer will damage transplant after the first 10 days or even up to 60 days?
  14. kensington
    Can you advise your age? I was wondering because not many posts on this site from people over 50.

    I have been doing alot of research to see if at my age of 52 with very fair skin should consider HT for Norwood 3V moving to 4V scale. I prefer to not cut my hair before so I can "hide" the right after surgery looks that includes post op redness that will probably last 6 months or more for pale fair skin. Please advise if that is a common practice or does it effect the end result?

    I am 52, with dark hair and very light skin caucasion. My Norwood 4V hair loss started to show when i was around 39. Will I be candidate for slow growth if doing HT?

    I also dont see alot in this forum about DC or Maryland doctors. Can we get feedback about Dr Lindsey and Dr Vogel or others in the DC/Maryland area? It would be great to get feedback from HT patients of DC/Maryland doctors. I been researching for almost a year and would prefer to stay local for my HT but also want the best doctor. Thanks
  19. kensington
    Can you advise who you did use in the DC/Maryland/VA area?
  20. kensington
    I see alot of great hair transplant results for younger people in 20's and 30's but not many from people in my early 50's age range. I have a Norwood 4V pattern that really started to show when I was 39 years old. I am hesitant to do this kind of surgery in my early 50's that will probably be longer healing, scab time and older (weaker?) scalp. Please advise if transplant results depend on age where younger people have better resluts??

    I also wondered why not alot of Dr Lindsey posting on this site. Just assumed many people in DC area dont do transplants or travel somewhere else. I am considering going to him since he is very close and havent heard any bad results about his work. What is the clinic in MD that is not recommended? Also does Dr Lindsey do FUE or it depends on the patient hair pattern?
  22. kensington
    Please advise why you didnt have a good experience with Dr Lindsey? I am 52 and have never seen a Doctor about Hair Transplantation. My next step was going to schedule an appointment with Dr Lindsey.
  23. kensington
    I also asked same question in another forum and never got answer. From what I read we should stay away from the high volume "shops" such as Bosley. I might check with Dr Lindsey just to see what he says about my hair. Have you heard any feedback about the Virginia Surgical Center in McLean?

    I am 51 years old and have jet black course hair with very white skin. Does that mean most likely a future transplant will produce that awful pluggy appearance in the my front area? I assume there must be some doctors who have experience with black hair white skin contrast and I am looking for someone in the Washington DC area. Please advise
  25. kensington
    I am 51 years old with fair white skin with dark jet black hair that is curly and thick. Unfortunately I dont have gray hair yet to get better contrast with my pale skin. I have thinning loss of hair in the front that I would like to get transplant with around 2500 hair graphs. From my research online, it looks like dark hair and light skin is not a good candidate and might look like hair plugs. Please advise.
