    I'm sorry I hav'nt been on here for a while. Got the sort of job that when a contract starts I have no time for anything else. I am only two months post op and have to say I am happy so far. Or course there is no new growth yet but the shockloss has been very small and the scar is very neat looking and fading fast. I have some before pictures and once the hair starts growing I will post pre and post so people can make up their own minds. This Doctor does not tout for business as he does'nt need to. He does'nt push anything on anyone and has some very high profile asian clients. He charges 100 baht per graft which is way lower than anywhere else but the work appears to be of a very high standard.

    Glad to hear you had a positive experience. Do you have any pics you can post of the procedure?

     

    At the moment my laptop is in the repair shop and I'm having to use internet cafes so hopefully I can post a pic or two in a week or so.

    Were you able to view before and after pics of his work? Did you talk with or meet anyone who has had a procedure with him in the past? For me, this would be the key to considering him for an HT.

     

    Have you consulted with any other Doc's? There are several listed here (click on the Coalition Surgeons top left of this forum) who you could consult with via pic's sent by email and on the phone. I would highly recommend it before you have your HT.

     

    Thanks very much for your advice. I did extensive research on thisguy and numerous others. Also I went into more consultation with him fully armed with my bank of questions. I met with a previous patient and followed the progress of this guys career thriu the internet. The proceedure was excellent and his staff were great. The whole thing was actually enjoyable and I'm now two days post op and feeling very positive about it all.

    Is HT hair subject to Shock Loss?

    My doctor explained the situation thus. Hair that has been programmed for loss ie. non transplanted hair is prone to shockloss. the transplanted hair is permanent and will not go. If it does it will grow back but hair that would have been part of your balding process, is different. If it goes it will stay gone.

    If Wong says he's good then I would believe it.

     

    I can only concur and say I have been extremely impressed with this guy and his staff. They are so professional and knowledgable. The follow ups ahve been great and he has called me at home twice to see if I am ok and chat more about ht. Top Man.

    i have been emailing dr Damkerng at the Stough clinic in view to visiting in the near future for hair transplant.All i can say is that cost wise its very good,half the UK price.He seems to be upto date with the strip method.Donor closure is by trico suture to hopefully allow for a more discrete linear scar.This depends on the individuals skin and how it reacts to the surgery i guess?I know the cheapest may not always be the best but some UK clinics may not be either.Cost wise?Most things in thailand are nearly half the UK price,so i guess surgery should be too?I would like to think that surgery/plastic surgery is of a very high standard due to the vast amount of gender re-assignement surgery performed.Myself will be having 500 grafts to the crown and hopefully the previous scar revised by trico closure?I trust Dr Damkerng has the artistry and skill to do this.I know he is a plastic surgeon also so i would expect he has good knowledge of how skin reacts to surgery,what is aestheticaly pleasing etc.Anyway, i hope this gives you some reassurance,please let me know how you get on.Good luck.

     

    Hey there,

     

    well had the ht yesterday. Had to say it was all good. The doctor and his staff are very professional and really put me at my ease. They explained everything every step of the way. They ensured I was comfortable and were very honest and knowledgeable to any questions I asked. I was very impressed. I will let you know as the days go on. Some pain yesterday and this morning but very easy to cope with. Hav;nt taken any painkillers yet and I guess I'm probably over the worst of it. Also apparently I have excellent donor hair. Plenty to cover the areas and he took 17cm from the donor site. This resulted in 1720 grats as opposed to the 1500 I paid for so the rest were inserted free. Going back today for my wash so will keep you updated.

    Sorry mate I probably did'nt give them a fair description. I've now done a lot of checks on this guy. He's been in hair replacment since the 70s. He covers a lot of asia and has delivered several published papers on ht in America. He's trained in america and has extensivve experience in plastic surgery. My consultation with him was very impressive and I've been to quite a few. my enquiry on here was only to see if there was info out there that I hav'nt come across as a final check on him. I hav'nt turned up anything negative. His testimonials and documented cases are impressive. He operates under a website called Thaimed.

    thanks guys. Yeah I agree. Have been checking up on it and I cant get any clear evidence. The advanced hair website has several sports stars swearing by it but without describing the process. To be honest its probably ht under a different name. Certainly their pictures look like that. ANyway I've been using rogaine 5% for two years now and recently started propecia. so I reckon the ht with these two should leave me with something on top. either that or my head will fall off

    thanks for the response mate. I have met with him and he was quite convincing. For instance he did'nt try to flog me anything I did'nt need. He was very knowledgeable about the whole thing and did a thorough consultation. He also estimated high after examining me closely and for a long time(1500)where others said 800 to 1000 after a couple of seconds. The clinic is not great looking but the results seem genuine and I have spoken with a westerner who assures me this guy did a great job for him so I'll let you know. Six days to go!!!!!!!
