Hi guys
Unbelievable forum - so nice to see what seems on the face of it to be unbiased information -very hard to come by on this particular topic!
I had an HT 5 years with The Hair Clinic only on the front of the head - did very little research, didnt know about this place - i was pretty happy with the results - though I'm not expert enough to actually judge that. Anyway, the midline and crown have lost further during that time (I stopped taking Fin for 2 years in the middle) - and I am considering a second procedure with The Hair Dr; Dr Arshad. Bit of a cheat really - I would just like a few knowledgeable people to reply saying - "no brainer, do it!!" - take the stress out of the final decision 🤣
Have already spoken with them and they have recommended 2500 grafts @ £3 each and say i have good donor and should get decent coverage over the midline, they would put more in the front and maybe a little on the crown. Idea being to have reasonable density midline to front and then whatever can be spared on the crown (I had said I was comfortable with this plan - not really expecting a "perfect" result - just some good options through the front and "not completely bald" in terms of the crown.
Have put some images below to give an idea - i take 1mg Finasteride every 1 or 2 days for the past one year and going forward will stick with this.
The alternative option is to say - not likely to get a good enough result - bail out now before going for a second procedure - please do say that if you think that.
There are some "fuller" pictures at the end - that is with me using Toppik. Happy to continue doing that but would like to be using less to be honest - at the moment it feels like more concealer than hair! And of course i am stuck with ALWAYS needing concealer - a second HT would give some coverage without concealer - which would make life a lot easier (maybe resume swimming, wear a cap without the concealer disappearing in the middle of the day etc)
So, looking for that advice guys - Stick or Twist? read some good reviews of Dr Arshad and keen to get some decent coverage - but not if those in the know look at the images and would honestly say i might be wasting my time and money chasing this.
Thanks in advance
