  1. Hey bspot , I replied to spex earlier but Its relevent to you to bud. you and other representatives of hair clinics like janna , jotronic and b-spot and Billorus do an awful lot on these and other forums to educate and help loads of guys decide the best way to go . That in it's self shows conviction in your chosen surgeon . You guys really do deserve more recognition than you often get , posting clear outside pics , close ups , answering questions with experience , it all helps guys , and some girls to make educated and imformed choices Keep posting the pics and supplying unbiased info ,it does help educate newbies . Keep fighting the good fight guys richie 2100 crown grafts Dr Feller nov 2007r

  12. hey ash when i came over to New York to have hair surgery with Dr Feller in november 2007 the exchange rate was only slightly better than now ,the UK?? was 0.475 to the US$ . That ment you could get US $2.1 to UK ??1 . Dr Feller did 2100 grafts and charged me $7850 ,that worked out to be ??3728 . My flights with british airways and my accomadation for four nights was approximatly a further ??800 That is $3.70 or ??1.77 per graft . As a direct comparison against UK prices ,in february 2007 i was quoted ??1750 for 500 grafts at a hair medical centre in the UK ,this was later reduced to ??1500 . at the time there was some confusion over whether this was for strip or fue , however since then I have been informed by the clinic that they do not offer fue . but even at ??1500 that would have cost me ??3 per graft ,that is $6.30 per graft . for me , as a uk patient it was lot cheaper to go to the states and see Dr Feller than to stay in the UK . so it total it cost me just over ??4500 for 2100 grafts in New York , i had a strip method although Dr Feller does do fue it is more expensive and you have to fit the criteria , as in hair density , laxity of the scalp and hair chariteristics , spex can explain it better bud richie 2100 crown grafts Dr Feller nov 2007

  19. David Going bald really sucks bud , every guy on this site ,whether they want to admit it or not has felt low , pissed off or depressed over they hairloss , it's not shallow it's how it effects us all as individuals . The biggest problem that effects us personally is the complete loss of control over losing our hair , our crowning glory , it makes us feel young , attractive and each morning we see it getting thinner and thinner , we become obsessed and it starts to take over your life , mirrors ,lighting , wind , rain all the fucking time thinking how will this effect me , my hair style , the product i use , will somebody comment today ................. fuck me the list is endless and every guy on this site has , sometime or other felt like you have . You have to start to take control again , you tried to regain your hair the only way you knew , you felt great when you saw that hair , not just because you had some stubble but because you did something about it , that makes us feel in control like we could take on the world , your proceedure hasn't worked and you quite rightly feel aggrieved . I can only pic up so much from your pms to chucky so i hope i understand things right for you , you say you have no more donor hair left and are heaverly in debt ,these things cannot be changed , you can't do anymore than you have done , you have to start to take control of this predicament that is not your fault . Please take a deep breath and think of that good looking girl who loves you , think how devastated she would feel if anyhting happend to you , think of your mum and dad , your family , if your feel paniced and have the tight feelings in your chest , sit down and take a deep breath , take a minute to calm yourself and slow your brain down , take control . After all the obsessing we do over hair or appearence just try to remember that other people don't see us as we see ourselves , most people don't even notice our baldness , that's one good thing about our human race , we're all so self obssesing that many of us don't even notice anyone elses issues , thats just human nature . You mentioned sleep deprivation in your pm , that really fucks with our minds and will cloud your thoughts , you will feel like you've lost control and have a million things wizzing through your mind , unable to make sence of any one thought ,if it helps you get through one day at a time make a list of thing you would like to get done that day , take as many time outs and deep breaths as you need my friend and think of that lovely girl waiting for you back home , smiling , you see the good thing about girls is all they ever want is a smile and a cuddle ....... David I hope you can take something away from what i've said , try to take back control of your life , see how comfortable you feel trying to accept your situation and that you won't let this curse rule your life anymore . Good luck my friend richie
  20. Hey John HDC are having some UK consultations between 1st-4th of April in London and 6th-7th April in Manchester , maybe worth trying to get to one of those . From what I've seen from other forum members photos and experiences , 2000 grafts will be enough to strenghten and lower your hairline about an inch . hope that helps bud richie 2100 crown grafts Dr Feller nov 2007
  21. Hey vik This is me 10 days post op , scabs , some brown , some white , just keep washing your scalp , recipient and donor gently with a small amount of shampoo , your doc should have given you some instruction . Even with regular washing some scabs may remain for weeks yet so try not to worry , maybe you could post some pics like Bill suggested to show us what you mean . hope that helps richie 2100 crown garfts Dr Feller nov 2007
  22. Hey balody Looking good for 4 months , swirl coming in nicely , I had loads of spots too , my girl loved squeezing them hahahaa SPLAT ! , I know your not really supposed to but i couldn't help it and my head was still numbish so it didn't even hurt hahahaha . I had some weird like blackheads too , washed my hair and scalp all the time but had one or two blackheads . You know you guys keep talking about the crown being slow well I'm almost 5 months and had a bit of an explosion ! The few transplanted hairs which have been growing for the last 2 months are getting darker and thicker and I've got loads of new stubble coming threw also , both these two things combined are just beginning to give a light covering of hair ,enough that people have notice , at last hahahahaa at first you don't want anyone to notice but as soon as you see an improvment you want somebody to say "you look well " or "whats different " hahahaha I do anyway , I can't wait to show my 5 month update pics , deffo an explosion of new growth ! maybe I'm just lucky . anyhow balody expect good things over the next few months , looking good guys . richie 2100 crown grafts Dr Feller nov 2007
  23. hey stevo Looking good brother , my pinkness stayed a little longer , but you and I are lucky with it being in the crown , nobody noticed mine and i'm sure you'll be the same . I see your fringe is just covering your new hairline hahaha good camoflarge ,my pinkness faded more in the 3rd month , your scar coverage is spot on . Hairthere , the explosion your taking about , well i think mine has just begun , I'm almost 5 months and the transplanted hairs which have been growing for the last 2 months are getting darker and thicker and I've got loads of new stubble coming threw also , both these things combined are just beginning to give a covering of hair .
