Dutchie

The people that really piss me off are the ones who say: "just suck it up. Deal with it". Yeah, wait till it happens to you, fuckstick! :rolleyes:

You're not kidding! Trust me!!!

You're probably right. I just like to think maybe Dr. Umar can work his miracles and stuff

Don??? How did the Cottrell thing work out??? We need more information. Like, is this guy another con artist, or is he OK??

HUH????????? Spanker, are you drunk (not that there's anything wrong with that)???????

Right whenever the clinic advises you to. This can vary. But usually you're good to go after 4 to 6 weeks or so. Some clinics even say after 15 days its okay

Cheers Lorenzo, I brought a few blonde-haired Dutch girls ITT to hopefully make you feel a little bit better. Thought you might like them........LOL. Cheers Thats the best I can do right now in my inebriated state........LOL. Cheers!!!

Hard to say from those pics because I dont know what your hair density is (hairs per cm2). My guess is you're probably close, around 4,500 to 6,000 grafts. Somewhere in between. It depends if you wanna do your crown or leave it alone. It also depends how high up you wanna do your hairline. Some guys are perfectly happy leaving their crown alone, and looking from your pics you dont look to be a severe Norwood 6 (somewhere between a NW5 and a NW6, although its hard to tell from just a few images). You also have good lateral humps, which will decrease the amount of grafts you need midscalp. All in all I think you'll be a good HT candidate. So life is good, dont jump off a cliff and kill yourself just yet

Prince dead, Georgie dead. Part of my childhood is now also dead

Undetectable hairline. Great work

What I meant by wide, rounded scalp is something like this: The more curve, the more real estate a transplant has to cover. You dont have that though, so thats good

I'd have to say you're headed for a Norwood 6. Thats the bad news. The good news is from looking at the top of your head you seem to have a fairly narrow bald scalp. This is good, because that would require less grafts then someone has a very wide, rounded scalp. You also seem to have good colour contrast (darker scalp, dark hair). I'd say overall you're a good candidate for a HT, and I would go see a reputable doctor ASAP. You will for sure need 2 transplants though

I totally understand bro. If I had cancer I would be grumpy as hell too. I'd probably a lot more grumpier than you actually. How about Conte over at Chelsea, though?? Doing an amazing job with what I think isnt THAT great of a team. Yes they have some superstars but they also have some weak links, yet they're in 1st place. Pretty amazing

Jeezus Christ Lorenzo, no JUST NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never once questioned your integrity!! The reason why these forums exist is because people can post their different experiences. Mine isnt so good right now, but it probably pales in comparison to what you're going through at the moment. Cancer is a bitch!!! My mom went through it, and I wish you all the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look on the bright side, you didn't lose any grafts and the ones that are in the wrong position are all fixable. Its just gonna cost you a lot of money. That's all

I don't think anybody really knows the answer to that question. But I am convinced all the clinics know that some of their hair transplants are going to fail, and they don't really know what to do about it, or how to prevent it

When I saw you in person I think you're gonna do okay, Don. You werent very dense up front, but you werent very thin either. I think when you get everything to thicken up a bit on all sides of the scalp (front-scalp and mid-scalp), you're gonna be a winner. Thats just my $0.02 cents worth. Take it for whats its worth. I dont care

Wow, thats interesting. I had no idea the range of time could be that different for each individual patient

Holy crap, thats way too long. Somebody needs to invent a hair speeder-upper

Dr. Boxham, could you please tell us approximately how long it takes for a single hair to fully mature from the day it sprouts out of the skin, to the day it has fully matured. Are we talking 4 weeks or so, or many months?? (thanks in advance)

Do you want an honest opinion?? It looks a bit pluggy IMO. The good news however is that a good surgeon can easily fix that, and I dont think it would cost very much

This is just a guess on my part, but if dr. Gupta didnt own the clinic at the time of your surgery, there's no way he's gonna refund you any money. And just for reference, here we have yet another transplant that appears to be a partial failure. Gotta wonder how many more of these are out there

I'm happy for you, bro. My transplant so far sucks a bag of shit. Such is life :rolleyes:

Thats well over 6,000 hairs. Which is good. How was dr. Coterill after surgery?? Was he supportive?? Give us some more info

Credit to HTsoon. Great way to handle things. I did the same with dr. Hasson yesterday. Very cordially, never raised my temper or said anything mean, and yet I still got my point across that I wasnt happy with my transplant
