  1. Also if I may be little curious, how has your beard area progressed?. The thickness of beard area which was harvested is it back to normal pre-transplanted thickness?. Thank you.
  2. I agree, the minoxidil use caused my scalp to itch and flake, I have tried different brands both here in US and in England, did give me decent growth but once I stopped it the scalp looked much more bare than I started now I don't know if that was due to natural progression of hair loss or combination of progression and loss of the newly grown hair, either way the daily itching, redness and flaking was not worth it, thus considering hair transplant. Now others may have had different experience, this has been my experience with Minoxidil.
  3. if you do not mind, how many scalp hair and how many beard hairs were used for transplant?
  4. Looks pretty good my friend, I have a same pattern hair loss as yours (look at my album), I think Dr. Bhatti did a pretty good job, I am pretty sure the growth pattern will become more diffuse and actually from both right and left side the hairline looks pretty natural. Good luck with further growth my friend, fabulous progress so far.
  5. Thanks hairweare and Blake, would you guys have a link for Peperoni's case?. Thanks. Blake I just sent you the e-mail, thanks, please let me know if you would need more views.
  6. Thanks Blake, Let me know if I can e-mail the pics to you directly if need be. I will check out Dr. Umar, looks like he has gotten some really good results, I truly appreciate your input, sorry that ur unable to see the pics . I think initially one of the docs looking at some of initial pictures said I was having reverse alopecia as well. But I guess that assessment was made difficult because I had a hair cut a week before these pictures were taken and I usually wear my hair short (whatever remains of it) which kind of mislead him. I do personally believe that I have more than 2000 harvestable grafts t the back of m head after leaving a decent amount of hair at the back of head. Choice has to be made as to if jus head hair or combination for filler as you said would be better, so the search continues. I might sound like a broken record but I cannot emphasize how much I appreciate all your help and support.
  7. Also do you guys think that more hairs are extracted and survive the grafting process with strip technique than FUE?. What have your experiences been and are there any differences between the two with regards to graft survival and viability?
  8. thanks @gillenator, above is the link to my album, I will try and insert images here, I am unsure if it will work.
  9. Dear Blake_bloxam and 1966kph. Here is the link to my album again. Hair Restoration Social Network ? Community for and by Hair Loss Patients I have plenty of chest and upper back hair as well as nape of the neck, I have been researching BHT surgeons. I do agree Dr. Umar has done a pretty good =job with BHT. I do think that I have more than 2000 FUE grafts available. I think I have to do some more research before jumping in with BHT and I promise to keep updating the forum. How come I have not been part of this wonderful forum and support group thus far?, hats off to you all for being so wonderful brothers!. A big thank you. Meanwhile only handful surgeons perform BHT here in USA, any ideas as to which ones have been successful?. Thank you all.
  10. Thanks Garageland, would FUE scars be easily visible, i mean i understan that previously used plug HT would make the transplanted area look ugly and pluggy?.
  11. @hairweare and gillenator, thanks for your encouraging words and response. As far as the current hairline goes I think I have reached the peak of shedding and the pattern has been stable for 4-5 years. Similar to what my father has. I don't necessarily want a full head thick hair, slightly less diffuse pattern if made to look like naturally thinning hair would definitely be acceptable. WITH REGARDS TO FUE and finesse in techniques would you guys have any recommendations with your personal experiences?.
  12. Oh 1978matt, that's very disappointing, but I guess ur right.
  13. Thank you so much for aloowing me to be amember of such an awesome forum, I truly appreciate all your help, kindnes and support.

  14. http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/user_album_update.php?album_id=3845 above is the link for the pictures, left, right and back, what do you guys think?. I consulted one of the HT doctors recommended here,, and he suggested 2000 grafts, I suspect that it might suffice to front and forelock but would leave the back uncovered. I also had a recent haircut so the growth in the pictured areas are not at full thickness yet. Thank you folke, I cannot tell you how much i appreciate all the support, it means a lot to me, and I hope to give back to theforum in future.
  15. Thank you all for your input, I truly appreciate it. @Rawkerboi which surgeons in India and Turkey would give you cosmetically acceptable results?. I have looked at Drs. Vogel a Baltimore, Dr. Shapiro so far. Also which one of the above would do better job at FUE?.
  16. No responses, I guess my questions are too generic?
  17. Good morning to all the folks here. I much appreciate you all taking time to share your stories and valuable experiences with other members. I am contemplating plunging in for FUE. 40 years of age, Norwood class 6 male patern baldness. I tgought I will ask you guys some questions in the hope of finding answers. I have been trying to find a good FUE surgeon but there are too many threads and it is confusing to me. I had initial consultation with a surgeon at Maryland who has suggested 2000 FUE grafts for front, lateral humps and forelock. My questions are. 1. Do you have any recommendations for FUE surgeons in south of USA?, prefrably, TX, FL or MS who has had good track records, easy to deal with and natural looking results? 2. I think 2000 grafts for Norwood class 6 is too less?, what are your opinions? 3. I am being quoted 10$ per FUE, is this the resonable price for a surgeon with good reputation? I apologize in advance if some of these questions have already been answered. I appreciate your kindness in responding to my queries. Thank you.
