Hi Guys, I guess I must have had too many questions to answer I know it probably seemed like an endless flow, its just that as this is my fist time of looking at HT I'm filled with questions about the whole process. I hope some of you might share your experience and knowledge with a newbie I guess my main questions are 1.How many grafts do you think I will need judging from my pics (ATTACHED AT BOTTOM) to fill my widows peaks and a bit on top around the top/crown?(is it advisable to fill the top/crown if im younger?) 2. Judging from pics what would be the most effective technique for me? and what would be the rough cost? 3.I've had widows peaks since I was a kid and have never really had hair there. Would implanting hair into those areas grow and last bearing in mind that hair has never grown there and how sucessful are fue treatments in terms of how long they last? Is it for life or will you have to keep going back every 10 years or so? Again hope there arnt too many questions, Im trying to keep them down to a minimum so they are easier to digest and respond to. Is someone has the time and wants to respond to any of my other questions in my first post feel free it'd be most appreciated! Cheers Z

Hi there, This is my first posting on this forum so Its great to see that there are others out there in the know who might be able to point me in the right direction. There seem to be alot of surgeons/practices claiming to be able to restore hair for the long term and Ive been doing my research and It seems that the ones to go for are the coalition lot and maybe a handful of those are best. So I have a few questions relating to the procedure etc and I'm hoping that you guys might have some feedback for me : ) 1. My hair loss isn't so bad but I'd ideally like to fill in a bit round the widows peaks and around the crown(although crowns not as important). How many grafts do you think I will need judging from my pics to fill my widows peaks and a bit on top around the crown? What would be the most effective technique for me? and what would be the rough cost? 2. WHO IS THE BEST SURGEON FOR HAIR RESTORATION? I live in the UK and it would be great if there was someone here but I dont mind getting on a plane for someone who is going to do the most effective job for the future of my hair. Ive been looking at DR FELLER as quite a few people say they have had good long term results from his work. I think he might be out of my price range though. 3. How sucessful are fue treatments in terms of how long they last? Is it for life or will you have to keep going back every 10 years or so? 4. I've had widows peaks since I was a kid and have never really had hair there. Would implanting hair into those areas grow and last bearing in mind that hair has never grown there? 5. Is there anyone on the forum thats had positive or negative results with Dr Feller? If so could you send me details and pics if possible? (before and afters maybe) 6. Are there some transplant techniques that are better than others? Ive been looking at Megasessions,dense pack,lateral slit,strip. Ive heard that megasessions can decrease the survival of the hair follicles because they are trying to cram in so much into the time given. Is this true? 7. Do you have to shave your head when getting work done? Is it more effective or does it not make a difference? 8. Is it painful? 9. How long does the new hair take to grow back? Ive heard that it has to fall out first before it regrows is that true? 10. Im currently a student and If I were to get treatment I'd have to take out loans to be able to pay for it. Do any of the best offer discounts/plans to those who are financially restricted? Thanks to all of you ahead of time. I know there are quite a few questions here its just that I want to make sure its done right. Cheers Koozie...
