  1. Thanks the Emperor. I had no idea how much of a mental process I would go through after getting this done. Part of me is really glad that I did. Happy in fact. Ecstatic even !! Its really forced me to face my demons. To find the courage to walk about with my head held high and to re=examine what's important in life. I have to remember how afraid and isolated I felt before. How low my self esteem and confidence was. The anxiety is reducing now. I have listened to what you have said and it has really helped. Thank you sir.
  2. Another photo. Sorry guys cant seem to upload more than one photo per message.
  3. Heres an after shot. Couldnt seem to upload two photos to last message
  4. This is going to sound weird to some of you but I almost didnt have my transplant done last year because I was worried what people would think about it. Well I did have it done and the results are amazing. I have soo much more hair but now I am paranoid that the people I work with are laughing at me behind my back. I work in different places each week and it seems that the people that have never really payed me much attention haven't noticed which helps me relax. But others that I see on a regular basis must have noticed.I am beginnin to think that eevrybody knows Ive had it done even complete strangers when walking down the street. I think I am being totally irrational due to anxiety. Anybody else felt like this? Perhaps if I attach some photos you guys would tell me what you think? Ironically i think it looks very natural, an excellent job just a big difference compared to before. Anxiety is awful. Here is some before and after. I think I just need to adjust to the change and be happy with the excellent results really. It does looks good. Love to hear your comments.
  5. Hey thanks for the reply !! I guess that the density achieved from strip work so far at least from the results I have seen on the internet is much better than the FUE procedure. The hair loss that I will suffer in the future is the hair that runs from the front of my hair line all the way to the back. Imagine Phil Collins. This native hair when it disappears will possibly need more grafts than fue can deliver. And also because this hair is in a very prominent position, I would need to get the best density possible there too. Its food for thought. I was thinking fue for the crown as this area is less visible and keep a strip procedure in the bag for later when the more prominent hair falls out. Thoughts?
  6. Hi guys I am on my third hair transplant. I had 1500 grafts in the UK and 4000 grafts in Canada. All of these grafts were placed at the hairline and a little further back. I am only two months in on my '4000' grafts procedure and still waiting for the results. Fingers crossed. My question relates to the crown area which has never received any grafts. Just years of minoxidil and finasteride but no growth has occurred. I hear that 8000 grafts is the average figure for the most number of grafts available from a human head. I have used up 5500 grafts which leaves me 2500. I was wondering if the best surgical plan would be to keep these 2500 grafts for further strip surgeries for future loss at the vertex of the head and harvest grafts using FUE for the crown. Is this possible? Can Fue give me more than 8000 grafts? I am confused. Any help much appreciated.
  7. Anyone recommend a botox alternative to wrinkles especially forehead wrinkles? Thanks

  9. Are you happy with your results? Glad you had it done?
  10. Thanks guys. I guess nobody knows where you can get minoxidil without pg. Thanks to Bill though re the suggestion of Rogaine foam. I have to tell you the Rogaine with the the glycol is soooooo unbearable. Itchy beyond anything. I have read bad reports about the foam somewhere but I will start my research again on it and clarify things. Cheers Bill and all who replied.
  11. From what I understand your grafts are not solidly in place to at least 4 days to 11 days post op. Each report varies on this but not the day after me thinks IMO
  12. Any one know where I can Minoxidil without Propylene Glycol apart from Dr Lee? I have ordered from him before but the order always gets lost in transit. HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. Check out Dr Rahal in Canada. I have yet to find a bad word about him. I went there. Great work. Forget the UK. Seriously.
  14. Looks excellent !! Ya must be buzzin. Is it possible to post clearer pre op photos as Dr Rahals hand blocks a clear view. Just to get a better before and after. Awesome
  15. Sorry but iam not planning on posting photos. Too private for that. Just wanted to report my experiences for anybody who may be feeling anxiety at the prospect of having work done.
  16. I live in Ireland. Check out Dr Rahal in Canada. I have been to uk doc before. Never again
  17. Hi there Just had a very good experience recently at Dr. Rahal's office where I had a recent hair transplant. I have had two previous surgeries done in the Uk about 6 years ago but did not achieve very good density. After reading only good reports about Rahal I thought I would travel to Canada and I am very glad I did. Now it is too early to talk about results as I am only on day 14 but I did want to reference the wound closure. Before Rahal worked on me I had two small scars from my uk surgery which harvested 750 grafts each. Since that time however I always felt a tightness in my scalp and sensitivity. However, since Dr Rahal removed both of these scars (I now have one scar) the laxity has returned and I have excellent movement and laxity. My scalp and neck now have no tightness whatsoever. It feels like my past wound closures have not only been corrected but it now feels like I never had anything done at all. As soon as I sat up in the chair after my procedure I noticed this and was amazed. I thought I would post this as there are so many references to how good/bad doctors are with regard to the recipient are and not so much about wound closure. If my circumstance change I will let you guys know but all good at this stage. If you are thinking of a doctor, seriously you would be hard pushed to find anyone in the world that matches Dr Rahal and his team right now. I am more than happy to answer any questions.
  18. Had amazing hair procedure done last week. Will need to apply minoxidil to recipient area in one week. Dont want to use standard Rogaine becasue of how how itchy it makes my scalp. Anybody know anything about the effectiveness of Dr Lee's Minoxidil 5% without Propylene Glycol?
