  1. i have already detailed my search for a uk surgeon to do some crown work earlier on this forum in sept 09( search my handle). here is my account albeit brief arrived at surgery to go through formalities before getting ushered into the surgery room which was immaculate.there was around half a dozen staff present. after brief pleasentaries i sat on the surgery chair and was given a choice of dvds to choose from as i was going to be in that seat for 6 hours!!!!! i then recieved some mild sedatives orally in form of tablets before given some freezing injections to donor area which i would describe as like being given a jag at the dentist before recieving treatment.thats how relatively painless it was!!!!!. dr bessam then extracted the donor area before stitching up a 9 inch extraction area.this strip is then given to assistants who extract the fues. whilst this is being done, dr fargo is carefully making the incisions for grafts to be planted(no discomfort felt at all during this) 1400 grafts planted later which toke 4 dvds via a lunch break and it was all completed to no discomfort other than the intial jag which again is no more than you will experience at the dentist. originally i was planning to wear a hat however as the grafts were difficult to notice and i ws on holiday straight after surgery i decided none was required. not one person in the week straight after gave me a second look. ten days after surgery i went to a nurse to get stitches removed,not only did she tell me they were dissolvable stitches so not req to come out she also complimented mr farjos needle skills!!!! im now at the 3 month stage and already i have what i would describe as many baby hairs coming through ,although mick and dr farjo keep stressing it takes 6 months to see the diffrence.im delighted with the progress of the grafts and equally how disguised the donor scar is now as i like short hair.virtally undetactable i will update the forum soon on pictures but thought this blog might be useful to someone as certainly this forum was invaluable to me making my decisions!!! only regret i have is that i should have got it done 2 years ago!! so far so good with the transplant so cant fault dr farjo(exept improve dvd collection) however as everyone stresses do your homework before choosing a surgeon. many thanks
  2. thats a great story........you prob feel as if you have your twenties back again.goood luck with the girl and others to come!!!! im signed up for a ht in the uk this year but by doing my research in forums like this im sure dr farjo is a class above most uk surgeons and this is the view shared by others on here so im relaxed about it although had some negative consultations with 3 others reading your horror story and others how come these cowboys can operate on people and potentially scar them physically and mentally for life top marks again for yr story and good luck!!!!!
  3. ritchie..........after meeting dr farjo and doing more research on websites and his patients i believe that dr farjo is as good as the rest therefor no need to jump to the states will certainly keep this forum posted on the results whatever they maybe! 1400 grafts req mainly to crown
  4. i have just made the decision to go with a ht and im sure i have made the correct decision when choosing which surgeon this forum has been invaluable for research due to the fact that its hardly a topic thats discussed amongst most men and is not one that many people like to chat about(baldness) my first consulation was with the norton clinic over 2 years ago and left feeling i had just met some ex double glazing salesmen who was only intersted in the cash as my confidence dominished i decided to go for another consulation this time in london at the wimploe clinic....dr mays internet website looked impressive and he was a member of various institutes but i did not get a good feeling from the consulation nor of the surgery i came away disappointed and decided to do more research....websites such as this(mainly) led me to believe uk finest was the farjos in manchester. in fact its the only uk surgery recommended in this website!!!!!! after a consulation which toke me months to get i eventually met with dr farjo and after the consultation and then meeting some of his patients im confident in few months time i have decided correctly he also has a competent backroom staff that has handled the ongoing queries i have had once again thanks again to your forum...........cheers!!!!!!
  5. high spirit..did you eventually choose a uk surgeon?????????
  6. guys i had a consultation with dr may in summer 09 and was not impressed one bit.......he aint a member of the institutes he says he is ( contact them)..i had consultation with farjo.very professsional met with one of his patients and is booked for november
  7. after a few days research can it be confirmed folks that dr feller in us seems to be the worlds finest although travelling costs greater???
  8. i ws also looking at farjo soleman to be fair he comes most recommended in uk from my research how are comments your gettting about him???
  9. lads.first time on please help. went to wimpole clinic(dr may) who did not impress at all so he aint an option.im told the chap farjo is the uks best. plenty of recs on your website......does anyone have bad experiences of this practice before i travel south again
  10. folks.new to this forum.....looking for recommendations who is best for around 1000 grafts to scalp.....went to wimpole clinic last month but was unsure of dr may and his answers to various questions...is the chap farjo meant to be the best in uk?????? help!!!!!!!
