  1. I know, I went through a short period of not being able to look at the before photos! So used to having hair again now 😄
  2. Hi Ciaus, I've been told that I have another 2000 - 3000 grafts in my donor which is good to know. My crown hair loss seems to be slowing down, I haven't lost much there in the last 2-3 years compared to how the front thinned, though I am expecting it to thin out more in the next 10 years! I'll play it by ear and see if I need a further session in years to come. The hair transplant team did say always plan to do 2 hair transplants eventually. Like you say I'm more concerned with the frontal half of my hair and would rather have more hair here than the crown if I had to choose between the two.
  3. Hello forum, my name is Harry and I had a hair transplant 3 years ago and thought I’d post my experience as I’ve been lurking the hair forums for a while now. I’m 49 years old and approaching the big 50 this November. I remember I started losing my hair around 25 years old. I never took any hair loss pills as I wasn't aware they existed until 10 years ago. After my 40th birthday I was at a stage where I'd pretty much lost the frontal half of my hair. My crown wasn't looking too clever either! I must of mulled over having a hair transplant for a good 6 years and consulted with a fair few clinics in the UK over the years. I certainly questioned is it all worth it and should I just leave it be. After much thought weighing up the pros and cons, I decided to go for a large hair transplant procedure with Westminster Medical Group in London. Doctor Sebastian & Doctor Rogers suggested a 2 day FUT and FUE combination session so I could tackle most of my scalp in a 2 day sitting. They talked me through the process and showed me some examples of FUT and FUE procedures. If I’m honest I wasn’t keen on the FUT procedure, though having looked at Doctor Roger's own FUT scar, I was quite impressed with how hard it was to find. I found traces of the scar, but it wasn’t as I feared. I keep my hair longer at the back anyway so this did give me faith. I was told combining FUT and FUE would help yield the most amount of grafts in a 2 day back to back sitting, whilst leaving a good reserve should I need to go back in again further down the road. I appreciated this pre-planning as a lot of other clinics were trying to sell me a procedure with no mention of any further hair loss or any subsequent procedures which may be needed. I decided to go ahead with the op and booked in for a date near Christmas where I could have a good 4 weeks off work to relax and recover. I’m an engineer by trade, and was advised not to do any strenuous activity or wear a hard hat for a good 4 weeks so all could heal up nicely. Both days went without a hitch. I had FUT on day one and then FUE on day two. 4692 grafts were achieved in total. Both days lasted about 6 hours all in all with a couple of breaks in-between which was helpful as I’m a big fidget. The team were very professional throughout and the girls certainly kept me entertained when planting the follicles in the afternoon as I watched a film. On day 2 I slept for most of the session. All in all I had a very pleasant experience and Doctor Sebastian, Doctor Rogers and the team are true professionals. Here’s my pre pictures Here's my pictures after the procedure Here’s my 1 month photos Here’s my 4 month photos Here’s my 10 month photos Here’s my 16 month photos The growth is brilliant and I can’t say how good it is to grow it long and comb it back again. Missed that for a long time now! It took a good year to grow out, though thickened up all the way to 1.5 years after the procedure. Bit of a long haul, but worth the wait!
