Holy Sh-- you must be one happy dude. Those pics look really great. Dr Feller did an outstanding job.

wow, looks awesome! your one lucky dude. Great job by Dr. Feller, Hes the man

Hey Indi, I know what your saying. People love to make comments about our hairloss and most of the time its only a joke but yet it still hurts. The only thing to do is grin and bear it. As for the propecia and Rogaine- have you started to use it? I think it will help you keep the hair you have all over your head not just the crown and it may help you grow some new hair. I think the it will not grow hair in the front if you are already bald or shiny. I believe they claim it will only regrow hair in a bald crown. I hope this helps. Good luck.

How long has this Xandrox been on the market? I have never heard of it. Is the side effect of thinning of the skin bad for someone considering a transplant?

Hey scarred, you should either stop crying and get your scar fixed or just stop crying ... yeah. Get a life dude. Your act is so old already.

Hairbank- Just wanted to show you this post. I sent this guy a private message to ask him about his scar. Steve Posts: 71 | Registered: October 29, 2005

I have seen pics of fue shaved down and there does not appear to be any scarring. Obviously you cant really judge by a pic on the internet. It probably depends on the doctor and how the person heals.

Franklin, How is the scar when the hair is wet? I imagine it has to be visible.

J- I have been researching for about a year now. I do know the downside of using Fue but at this time I do not wish to have the scar. I think to get it done takes alot of balls and most of the pics I see look great but my thinking is if it comes out bad I can never wear my hair short. At least if I dont achieve the look I want with fue can I then opt for strip if I really get desperate? I know this is thinking backwards. But if I give up I can just wear it short.

Bill, Thanks, your post on strip vs Fue did give me a better idea of the difference between the two. As you know I am not crazy about the idea of having the scar but regarding fue I may not get the greatest results yet will still have some scarring. I really dont know what to do. For some people it is a simple decision but for me it is not. I feel with Fue if I am not happy with the results I can always just cut my hair very short. With Fut If I am not happy with the results I will never be able to wear my hair short again. And I dont mean shave down to sking but down to a one or two. Its a gamble.

I appreciate any and all feedback and did not feel your tone was insulting at all. I do intend to do more research and will visit with fue patients. I have to see the results in person. Pics always look better. I almost made the plunge without seeing any patients and good thing I visited with some of Bernsteins patients because that is ultimately why I canceled. I did see some very good patients of his but Do not feel that I am the greatest candidate. Like I said before I am not looking for a full head of hair just a bit thicker than what I have now and most importantly a permanent solution.

I would say a 5a. Its hard to say because I think we all seem to want to believe that we have more than what appears. I thought a five but I was told a five by True and a six by Bernstein. Perhaps it has gotten a but thicker due to the propecia. How long does propecia work for? Will it still stop the dht in say five years from now? Is there anything else on the horizon that may be even better?

Bill, Bernstein informed me that I am a six. It freaked me out as well. Maybe my hair appeared a but thicker due to bad lighting. I am still undecided. Just worried about the scar since I shave to a 2 and sometimes one and a half. I am also worried about swimming and sweating with the scar showing thru.

B-spot and Bill, Thanks for the advice.

Bill, left out that I am using propecia for one year,5% rogaine around 12 years.

another pic

Bill, I am 38. History of sevens in my family. I dont think I am looking for a full head of hair. Im gonna try to post some pics

I have read that some people wish they can shave down but cant because of the scar. My biggest fear is going swimming or sweating and the scar is visible to everyone. I have seen people and recognized right away that they had a procedure even noticed a scar even with their head dry and long in the back! One was a guy that was obviously butchered and the other guy looked good in the front but I swear I could see the scar thru his dry hair. I shave down to a one and a half to 2 right now. I dont want to shave down bald but to have the option to go down to a one is what I want.

I am considering a ht. I had one booked w/bernstein and backed out. I definitly do not want the scar. I am a nw6 with some thin hair on top. Is it possible to get some good results with fue? I know I wont look like fabio, just would like to have a thicker hairline than what i have now and possibly go into the crown later. I heard feller does fue mega sessions. Besides the price why arent more people opting for this to avoid the scar?

Matt, 1 1/2 weeks I think is way too early to experience side effects. I was taking propecia 7 years ago and did the same thing. I went online and read horror stories about E.D. and guys ruining their lives. I thought I was experiencing side effects after three months and stopped taking it. I think it was working too. Anyway, I forgot about propecia until a year ago when I started researching HT's and the Doc said it was probably in my head and to give it another try. He insisted that it is safe. Ive been taking it for a year now without any problems at all.

NN- I dont know you and I am new to this forum but I am going through the same thing. Ive been researching the HT for over a year now and cant pull the trigger. I booked it a few times and canceled it. The whole strip scar thing is freaking me out. Most guys seem to really regret it. I wish I had the balls to do it but right now I cant.

Do any doctors recommend nizoral or tricomin? does this stuff really work? which Nizoral works best? Thanks
