Not to use minoxdil? well i have been, not heard that one before..

Me too, luckily i've ran out...just told to stay away from whey protein, vitamins sups, alcohol, and aspirin a week prior to surgery

Still could do with some better photographs also!

Doesn't look like that many of the grafts grew in the front if you had 2000 odd there. I echo Thana sentiments.

"Before this is resolved to your satisfaction I would not let this guy work on you regardless of price, and I would not feel comfortable recommending a friend to go see him either."

Can't believe he cut a strip for 250 grafts, that does not sound like a top surgeon under my interpretation.

It was clear to me reading Hair_boy's original thread that he called Dr Rassman out pretty well, he came off as more a salesman looking to close the deal, ABC Dr Rassman. Nevertheless, he is a good surgeon and you could do much worse than end up in his chair.

When someone comes along and cuts through the BS and rattles some cages, there's always going to be resistance, but for me, it was the most refreshing thing to read for a good while.

You can go down to a #3 already, dang!

Trial and error i think...

I looked at the pics of two twins who went to Dr Feller, one had tricho closure, the other didn't and the tricho was much less noticeable.

Any pics?

Aye it does help, thanks Bill

Lookin awesome Thana.

What graft cm2 did you get at the front? I'm due to see Feller soon and don't yet know what's best.

Hey Bill,

Got a question for you if you don't mind. I'm concerned about how long i'll have to be careful in regards to the donor scar? I understand it's best that i stay away from weights for at least six months, but what about time with the girlfriend if you get my drift, at what point can i stop worrying about stretching the scar, or enjoy an alcoholic beverage again?

Will it be like being in a neck brace where you can't turn your head to quickly etc....

It makes sense to me, at a younger age you're more active and more likely to be engaged in strenuous activities. As you get older you're more sedentary in general that is...

Dr Feller is one of the most competitively priced out of the top Docs, no point in trying to choose a Dr by price, reputation and proven results should be the guide

Don't forget Duncan Bannitine (sp?) His work looks really good.

There are no prices on Farjo's website though, i don't like that.

I'm about 8 weeks post-op and I can confirm what Bill said that the transplanted hairs that didn't fall out have continued to grow so they are close to an inch long now.

Damn, i didn't know this could happen? so, some of your transplanted hair has just carried on growing 2 months after being transplanted? Is this quite rare?

Dr Basinga worked for HDC before stepping out on his own. I have seen a lot of good results posted by escar. Strip and FUE

For me that just hammers home the importance of a hair loss regimen to contain or massively slow down hair loss.

You was mate, but your not alone and the marketing and pictures were very enticing. Be great if you could post some pics, i know you may not want too, after all your hardly going to be super psyched about it, but too few Armani patients with poor yield are posting their pics...see it as a way to get back at the Doc

Definitely interesting, and i think it SHOULD make a difference, but when your post op you can't really exercise too much, aside from things like walking.

I've quit smoking in preparation for mine, 4 days now and my appetite is through the roof, no drinking, and have been exercising, so i hope it makes a difference!

I think it's really brave and strong of people to tell others and be totally open about it, and i guess those people are also doing a good thing for the transplant industry, well, if they go to a top doc and not bosely!

your 4 months pics are looking pretty good, never heard of your doc before, but looking forward to your 8 months pics!

That's what you call ungrateful

I hate non payers.

I thought it would be boring, but was pleasantly surprised. Very good film

Aye me too. I'm definitely a better, stronger and nicer person because of hairloss. It was character building for me

I concur with the above, and how ever can you explain not playing hockey....invent an injury! your mates aren't going to make you do a physical, and people are not that observant. What is the injury that most hockey players suffer from? shoulder?
