  1. So…. Here is a pic of my receding hairline prior to any surgeries. Pic is not that great! My thick hair is covering quite a bit of the receding hairline. Second pic is current.
  2. lol..Absolutely!! I can already tell a difference 😀
  3. Here’s a current pic with hair combed they way my wife wants it
  4. With my last FUT , the doctor revised the existing scars. He did an amazing job, you can hardly tell there is a scar . Also, from what I’ve read, FUT provides more yield of grafts per cm from the strip as opposed to FUE.
  5. Let’s do a before and after This is life changing!!! Psychologically, I’m so healthy and happy! Yes… I still need to address the crown but at least my face is now framed and I have 4 months to go! Couldn’t be happier
  6. Okay… I’m exactly 8 months post op. Finally have a strong hairline:) I don’t style my hair back like this but wanted to reveal the hairline Thank you Dr Scott Alexander!!
  7. Currently been on oral finasteride for over a year and seems to be working. Decided to give Rogaine foam a try on my balding crown. Within 30 minutes I became extremely light headed and my heart started racing a little. It took a few hrs to wear off. So….. I tried but not for me The packaging does list this as possible side effects and urges to discontinue use.
  8. With my 3 surgeries…. I was just shocked at the unprofessionalism of the techs. Here I am spending many thousands of dollars only to listen to small talk and complaining!! Again… I must emphasize that my last surgery was perfect with both the physician and his techs. I will definitely be returning to him. Way too many variables play into this formula. Not to mention the dissection and storage of the grafts which require an experienced tech with a skillful hand. Anyway, very good responses here so far !!
  9. This is precisely the point I’m trying to make. Everything is relative, hence all the expertise displayed by the doc , is jeopardized with the techs do not follow the physician explicit instructions. Again, I’ve experienced this but….. not my last procedure which was unique in the sense that fresh techs rotated each hour in conjunction with the Doctor checking in frequently on their work.
  10. For me it’s just common sense. The handling, separating and implanting of the ever so delicate grafts is in most cases, the pure responsibility of the techs. Physicians have all these letters behind their names and the techs do not…. Just some training for the techs and call it good. One hears horror stories all the time regarding the techs and their unprofessionalism. I’ve experienced this but…. Not with my last FUT. The techs were exceptional. I’m so happy I have my hair back Thoughts??
  11. So… you have a thinning crown and started using Rogaine foam religiously. If this is you, could you respond to its efficacy ? Did it work for you or not?
  12. I’ve had 3 FUT . I was lied to about the graft count on the first surgery, which is basically stealing. My second surgery was good but not great and my 3rd was great leaning on excellent!! Be careful who you choose as there are many crooks out there that don’t know what the hell they are doing and neither do their technicians. On the positive side my last surgery experience again was really good and the staff was incredibly professional and now my results reveal that! The surgery is definitely worth it if you choose the right clinic. Be careful out there!!
