I thought Rooneys hair looked great but he was obviously using a tonne of concealer. tHESE PICS SHOW 2 HT'S WERE A FAILURE...UNFORTUNATELY FOR HIM.

Thanks for your reply. My crown isn't ok really...my hair was long enough there but in sunlight or if its wet, its not ok. I can disguise my hair loss somewhat at the moment but its getting tougher.

I am going to shave my head down in a couple of weeks to see what it looks like. And yes I could live with a short term (maybe 5 years) of a result before shaving/buzzing down with a cut with more hair(because of the ht).

But I haven't completely ruled out a second ht. I just don't want it to be endless....3,4 etc.

If I got 2500 grafts now and a further 2500 grafts in 5,6 years, given the worst case scenario of my hair loss, would that give me a good result?

But ya the idea would be to shore up the mid front, a good hairline and then an even number across the rest of the scalp and then when the time comes that it no longer looks good...decision time again....another HT or shave down/buzz cut

Nah not on finasteride only lipogaine and nizoral 2% I got about 4,000 total two surgeries.

Ya me neither.Im lloking at people who have had HTs without finasteride...you seem to have got a good look with 4000 grafts.congrats

Ive been looking at your pictures. They are impressive. Are you on finasteride??What was your total grafts...4000??

Here is a frontal pic....

If I was to get a good look for 6-7 years that would do me just fine.

After that I would probably just shave my head...I don't want to keep going back again and again...that's why I want FUE as it gives me the option of shaving my head after.

Here are pictures?

Opinions please.

I cant take finasteride due to sides. I do use Minoxydil and Nizorol Shampoo and the Lasercomb.

Hi,

I am a 31 year old male. Diffuse thinning on top, NW4. Still have a reasonable amount of hair. I have been thinking about a one- off 2500 graft HT FUE. I cant take propecia/finasteride due to side effects. I can only afford one transplant as in the next few years I have a lot planned house, family etc and will not have the money for future. So my thought is a 2500 HT which will be plenty for me at the moment, if I keep most of my hair greta...it works, if I lose all the native hair because of the Fue I can buzz shave my head still and still have an amount of hair. Either way I will surely get 4,5 maybe 10 years of it looking good?

Thoughts on my plan??

Jimmy, I'd love to talk to u about Dr Saifi.my messages don't work on this but if you emailed me on jharte12@yahoo.ie I'd love to chat

Hi all,

I first started using this site in January 2015 and found it to be very beneficial in acquiring information in regards to hair restoration. I always said I would return the favour to the forum when I had my HT so here I am. I will try keep this post short but the journey up to my HT was anything but. I decided in January I was going to do something about my hairloss and done as much research as possible. I am 30 years old and noticed thinning when I was 27 years old. In January i went on minoxidil and bought a lasercomb which has seemd to halt my loss and even regrow a small few hairs. I have steered clear from propecia due to sides fear and am aware i have put myself at a disadvantage. Anyway I consulted with numerous hair restoration clinics seeking diagnosis, help, information and ultimately seeking a cure.

 

In July after speaking with a number of clinics, many, which are recommend here, I decided to opt for Dr Saifi in Poland, strangely the surgeon who recommended the least amount of grafts for my restoration procedure. I say strangely because when i started out looking into hair restoration I wanted 5000 or 6000 grafts without question. Take me back to teenage years i thought and I wanted the opposite of conservative. Thankfully I became educated on hairloss and Dr Saifis approach seemed somewhat conservative but not limited and for someone with my level of hairloss it seemed to be realistic and honest. A lot of other surgeons were happy to recommend I get 5000+ grafts.

 

I booked with Dr Saifi in July and paid my deposit of €500 euro to secure surgery date which is non-refundable . I feel it's important to mention I contacted Dr Saifi 5 weeks ago as I was a bit nervous and panicked and he offered to refund my non-refundable deposit if I wanted to pull out of the procedure or if I want to postpone it for a future date he would hold it for me. I think this is testiment to the kind of guy Dr Saifi is.

 

Fast forward to the present and I had my surgery 4 days ago. I flew to Wroclaw and stayed at a recommended hotel by Marwan Saifi,The Art Hotel. I went for surgery on the 2nd October at 08:45. Dr Saifi had originally estimated I needed 2500 grafts but in the consultation in person he estimated I need only proceed with 2000 grafts. We agreed a hairline which was higher than my original hairline and agreed to leave the crown alone. I had decided prior to consultation that I would go with what Dr Saifi thought was best, as much as I would have loved an 18 yr olds hairline again haha.

 

The procedure took about 6-7 hours. Apart from the anesthetic injections it was painless. Dr Saifi done all the extractions himself and made all the incisions himself. They only carry out one operation a day in this surgery. It's hard to fit it all in without boring people so I won't delay. All I can say is that I was very happy with the whole experience. Felt like I was in great hands throughout the experience and am very satisfied with the experience. I will leave you with my pics and anyone with any questions please fire away. The purpose of this post is just to give back to this network which has helped me so much in recent months. And also I promised one or two members I would make a forum post and felt I couldn't back out lol

I cant seem to send anyone a message or read my messages on this. Romperstomper I'd love to ask you a few questions as Im the same age as you and Irish and thinking of goin to Dr. Saifi. If you see this you could email me at jharte12@yahoo.ie. Thanks

If anyone knows how I can view my messages please let me know!

Congrats it looks great.

When getting an FUT (2500 GRAFTS IN AUGUST) does the doctor always shave the part where he will be transplanting the hair??
