  1. when i read your thread i realized that maybe for high NW 5-6 its really a bad idea to undergo surgery unless you implant at least 8000 grafts

     

    this thread totally blew my confidence in FUE for nw 5-6 with a supply of 4500-5000 grafts

     

    I think i should look back into hair systems or micro pigmentation as whats the use of having your own hair grow out but not achieving a good looking hair style

     

    i am not discouraging you but I feel that your honest share of results should be an awareness for many other that get unrealistic results from hair clinics or patients that were just a lucky few with good results.

     

    i hope you will have a great result in the end, but your thread is leading me into deep thinking what path shall i choose

  2. I can only speak for those who are doing FUE. If this is your first transplant the best thing to do before your procedure is to completely shave your entire head. Let your co-workers and family get used to your look.

    In fact, I'm getting my second FUE procedure at the end of this month. I've scheduled off work for 11 days (or 7 business days). My procedure is on Friday, so I have two weekends to recover my donor area. And if you can time it right during winter holiday, you can save your vacation time with Christmas and New Years holiday.

    There's no doubt you'll get some stares or remarks when you return to work. But after a couple weeks to a few months, it will all be forgotten.

     

    please don't misunderstand me I think I am at the same level of your baldness but I do a comb over with toppik. I was wondering how many grafts you had, as again please don't misunderstand me I think your result after one year is a little low density especially at the hairline.

     

    I am seriously not trying to critique your result but if the outcome of the HT in reality is like this for my same baldness level then I think I need to reconsider the whole HT thing, as I prefer to do SMP or wear a hair system.

    unfortunately shaving bald is not an option for me, i think i will try to design a wig with one of the internet online stores that look my comb over with toppik that I can use for only one hour in a month. If the hair system does not look like my comb over then i need to figure out another way.

     

    i just realised for my join date on this forum that I have been positioning my Ht for about 7 years just because I can't figure out how to hide a HT procedure.

  4. the idea is to get past the ugly duggling phase, and this can be good idea for people who hide their hairloss by making a comb over with toppik

     

    i for example hide my hairloss by doing a complicated comb over and then apply toppik and so far no one figured out i am bald

     

    so if i can create a hair system that kinda looks similar to my hair style and use it only once a month i will be so going forward with my HT

     

    in my line of work where I have annoying work colleagues if they figure it out they will keep looking and staring, and between them will ridicule me for it. Somehow I wish I never used toppik then things would have been much easier, as using toppik trapped me in fooling everyone I have hair

  5. for me I still find that the only good results I saw are for NW2-4 balding people, while NW5 -6 usually had results that esthetically look not impressive or good, although the NW 5-6 are the ones who usually beg for good results.

     

    i think we are still not having achieved our goals for bald men, and by bald men I mean NW 5-6 and we are light years away from getting there.

     

    i think just depending on the hair that you have on your back will never produce a good looking effect for high Norwoods

  6. I was wondering how come no one thought about a strategy how to handle the situation of not being able to wear a hat at work after the HT, especially for people who cant hide their operation due to the fact that hey don't have enough hair to hide the operational area especially in the front, or rely on comb overs and toppik.

     

    I was wondering why no clinic can look into this seriously and offer solutions, like for example the clinic will work with a hair system company in designing a hair system that looks like the person hair before the operation, or for those who do a comb over with toppik, might also benefit. They can design for them a unit that can be attached by clips and not glue that looks like the person's hair before the operation. I think clinics should look into the matter of how to hide operational signs especially that the ugly duggling phase in the most worrying phase a person can go through

     

    I myself am holding off for so many years from doing an operation because simply I cant wear a hat to work. I currently use a comb over and toppik to cover my baldness, so really some clinic should be more innovative in offering solutions to people like me or who are in similar situations.

     

    In my case I only need a system that looks like my hair, where I do a comb over and use toppik, and I only need it for 1 hours once a month. But no clinic helped me in offering a complete package that can help me in concealing my operation

     

    What are your thoughts???

  7. Q. Do you think with my baldness level I can achieve good results with FUE

    A. No, you won't have good result with FUE in your condition. Stick with FUT.

     

    Q. Do you think Scalp pigmentation would be better in my case if FUE can't give good results

    A. Hell no.

     

    Q. Or wearing a hair system might be a solution

    A. Nope!

     

    Q. What level of baldness am I

    A. Definitely Level 6.

     

    Q. How many grafts do I need

    A. 4000+. I would recommend you 4500.

     

    Q.- Which physician do you recommend ( please note I can not afford the high price in the US or in Belgium )

    A. Depend where you live.

     

    Bottom line is your hair transplant will cost probably around $15000 USD. It might seem like a lot but it's a life changing experience.

     

     

    Can I ask why you said scalp pigmentation is not a welcome choice, I saw some websites in the UK who i think would be good for andvanced hair loss sufferer like me than doing FUE.

  8. Judging to your hands, you have strong hair and surely strong body hair. If there's not enough hair on donor area, you will have plenty to take from the body. I agree that the best combination is to do SMP + FUE = short hair, that's a combination with best results. :)

     

    what confused me is that dr. bisnaga refused to operate saying i am not a good candidate that 2 years back. while all other doctors said they would. I sent those pics to many doctors, so now comes the time to chose, so I wanted besides taking the opinion of the doctors to take the opinion of people on this forum

     

    as for body hair actually is not strong a a lot is there

     

    I was given a tempting offer from doctor Hagan Dookani which I might ask them to re-offer

     

    Please don't misunderstand me, when I looked at Dr Tejinder Bhatti site, and saw the results, I don't see the same great results as I see from other doctors, maybe could that be to the realistic results that one might get while others only post their best results, the results on Dr Tejinder Bhatti with my level of baldness is not what I hope for or look for especially the hairlines, please no offence intended

  9. Hello guys

  10. Darkman,

     

    I did get your report however, I don't see anything blatantly insulting or in violation of our terms of service about Gobble's post. This community allows members to share their genuine opinions and you can't expect everyone to agree with you.

     

    That said, I do agree that people should do their best to be respectful when sharing their opinions.

     

    Best wishes,

     

    Bill

     

    Hello Bill cant you delete this thread for me, as really I regretted posting it in the first place, and I want you please to delete it completely. This thread is useless and not worth to be on the site.

  11. I would like to set the record straight. This is a situation I was involved in in 2011 that is just now being settled. I had a patient who was a Nutritionist and health counselor who ended up renting the available space directly next to my clinic. Shortly after he obtained a Naturopathic medical degree online which is not recognized in the state of Florida. He was seeing clients and providing advice regarding general nutrition (improving diet), supplements (vitamins, mineral, and protein), and exercise programs. He came to me and asked if I would be interested in seeing some of his clients who would become my patients that might need medical attention. For example to help treat Thyroid dysfunction, patients already on several medications, or may need hormone replacement therapy. At the time I was already doing some Anti-Aging medicine which included hormone replacement therapy. So I agreed to do this and allowed him to put my name on his door as Medical Director. This was my critical mistake because I did not know the implications of having myself listed as the medical director. From the very start I made it perfectly clear to him and his employees that he was not allowed to diagnose or treat and patients medically and certainly not prescribe any medications. For he has no license that gave him those capabilities. He told me he totally understood. Unfortunately, I trusted someone and got totally taken advantage of because it turns out he was trying to diagnose and treat some patients without my knowledge. In other words he used my name on his door to validate himself as something more than what he was. He eventually got caught. I got caught up in his whole scheme because I was listed as the medical director. I had to take responsibility and was fined and received a letter of concern (not reprimand). This was the hardest lesson I've ever had to learn. Thankfully there was never any patients harmed in any way. This had nothing to do with my Hair Restoration practice and I will no longer associate with non physicians.

     

     

    You seem to be one of the nicest around here, and I hear only good about your practice
