    Congrats on your latest HT. That's a fantastic gesture from the doc also.

     

    Your hair looks amazing now. And certainly no one can accuse you of taking misleading photos! - don't think I've ever seen clearer ones.

     

    You come across as a really top bloke and I'm really happy for you mate.

     

    All the best

     

    Thanks longpig, Thats really cool to hear from you. I know you have been through some tricky times yourself. We must have clocked up some serious 'waiting time' between us over the years! But things are looking a whole lot better for both of us these days.. great to hear from you icon_smile.gif

     

    All the best mate.

    I guarantee if BadhairUK would have known he'd have those impeccable results in the end, the waiting period wouldn't have been so bad for him.

     

    It's the unknown that scares us HT patients the most. Will we have good yield? Will we have density? Will we be happy with the results? Is this slow growth or is it poor yield? So I entirely sympathize with John Malloy or BadhairUK with their anxious moments. But as Badhair showed us, 7 months post-op is NOT the final results. Those are some great pics.

     

    Thanks aaron, I agree, that would have been easy.. it's the hardest thing not knowing the due date.

    bad hair Uk,

    Thank you, wholeheartedly. how long are the after pics? when did you feel comfortable without a hat?

     

     

    John, no problem.

     

    I have now added a comment above the pics I added to inform of the waiting time it took to start feeling happier with my results.

     

    Looking at your loss, only my opinion but your a great candidate for a HT.. plenty of healthy strong donor and not a great amount of loss to worry about.

     

    The worst that can happen is you require a filling in later on down the line which would take half as much the next time (if needed)if you still would like it thickened, you have it all available to work with, but I feel you will be happy by the 14 month mark.

     

    Repair work is always slower.. I knew that but it still didnt make me feel any better about how long I had to wait icon_wink.gif I know the feeling.

     

    If you start getting worried with it, chat to Spex he has helped me through.. or even your Dr is right there for you.. who is the best guy around icon_smile.gif

     

    You'll get there..grow well icon_wink.gif

    As a matter of fact, you said you had pics of people in a very similiar situation. If you could post them, It would probably help alot. I just really can't see ever looking normal at this point. Maybe if I see those pics your talking about it will hold me over.

     

    Hey John, there's no need to be sorry! You are going through the same emotions I did icon_smile.gif and so do 1000's of other guys. It's cool.. you just need to stay cool as these are hard times not to be underestimated (but always are!).

     

    These experienced guys are all helping to explain to you its too soon to even start thinking about the results AND they know what they are talking about. (I think I am one of them as I have been there too myself).

     

    The problem is (I was the same) you think you know better! I dont mean that to sound like I am having a dig as I'm not, its just that I know I thought I knew better too when I was in the same situ as you. I did listen to the experienced guys and it GOT ME THROUGH icon_smile.gif without there support I would have gone crazy waiting so long. This is a good post as anyone prior to there HT will have a better idea of how hard 'just waiting' can be for some of us.

     

    I know how your feeling so I put this together for you as I think its the ONLY way you will really stop worrying so much.. you asked for pics.. you will notice (I was also a repair patient BUT FAR WORSE!! I wore a wig at 23 as I was so ashamed of my plugs and bald front half of my head, but I was even more ashamed of wearing a wig so I threw it away and just hid myself away for years and years!) at 7 months I looked no better than you at all.. let these pics explain..

     

    Before and After.. and showing me at 7 months!

     

    AFTER7MONTHSPOST1STHT.jpg

     

    The after pics are from the 14 month mark onwards.. I started taking wet pics around 18 months post, right up to the current latest pics.. I was feeling much better around the 14 month marker..

    You are just at the start lots more to come, I hope this helps to make you feel less worried.. take care and grow well icon_smile.gif

    The first thing I thought when I saw Spex's pics was that you seemed almost identical to hairthere, even in the charachteristics of your hair, though you seem to be in an even better position if memory serves me. Good guy to compare yourself to, for sure.

     

    Re: maturation..it's a looong process; I'm 2years post-op and in the recent months I have still experienced a further softening, and my hair has become much straighter.

     

     

    I am so pleased someone has said this about even at 2 years seeing further improvement to the naturalness, fullness and straightening of the hair.. I was exactly the same. Very well said as its so important for guys to understand this isn't just 'words' it really is the case for many guys.. it can take years to really see the true reality of the results shine through!

     

    Being a repair patient myself and can sympathise with John completely as I was in exactly the same situation. I had scar tissue that slowed down the growth rate, that other guys experienced.

     

    I clearly remember calling/emailing Spex at around 7 months as I already felt like I had been waiting 7 years!! (I thought I had been patient...but it was very hard to wait this long as I am very impatient person which made it even worse) I thought my results should already have shown themselves (yes 7 months thinking it had all gone wrong)...and it was like a cry for help!! Thank god for Spex to calm my worries I think he saved me from a nervous break down a few times! (cheers Spex! lol). The pain of waiting you will only understand if you have already been through it! You forget that your only ay 7 months!! This is no way any indication of how the final result will look....TRUST ME ON THIS ONE! icon_wink.gif

     

    I completely know how John feels... I felt like I couldn't wait any longer!! Its a bloody nightmare when you can see other guys showing massive growth rates at just 5 months!!? This isnt the norm.. its just a case of everyone having there own growth rates and some (like me) are most definitely slower than others and IT IS HORRIBLE.. to feel you are now ALL DONE and all the 'blame' thoughts start rushing through your head.

     

    Blame is a way of letting off much needed steam!! I can really understand this feeling... but at 7 months its really the best time to now start looking FORWARD to the results to come along and taking off!.. most definitely thicker fuller and more natural growth is going to occur for many (MANY) months ahead.. look again at 14 months! (yes its another 7 months specially if your a repair guy...sorry that sounds a long time..its really the hardest part of a HT is the waiting game!)

     

    An important thing I found is to grow the hair out longer (although again...at the same time as you are now..I also thought I would just shave it all off!) I wouldn't shave it off like you mentioned, the hair needs to go through its growth cycle to mature straighten..it will also give a more fuller and better coverage.

     

    I am trying to recall how I felt at 7 months post my 1st HT.. and I wasn't happy either.. but now my life has been transformed! I am re-living my 20's! (now I'm 37) never thought I would ever be able to even style my hair again...as I didn't have any dam hair full enough and I didn't think it would keep improving after 8 months (its a mind game). I felt like I wanted to blame people to start letting off steam.. but now I am over the moon these days.. I had read many times prior to my 1st HT about being patient but I still wasn't prepared for just how much you need to hang on.. ITS VERY VERY HARD at times to keep your patience.. and not scrutinise it soon as you wake up till you go to bed.

     

    Please use my experience and the other guys on here that have been in the same situation to feel a little better to know that 7 months is absolutely no way to judge your final results.

     

    To answer your question on the header ... NO!! without a doubt I wasn't happy at 7 months.. I had waited for what seemed like an eternity! I wanted my hair now by 6-7 months!! I had waited long enough icon_wink.gif I realise how daft I was now to worry so much but it is just absolutely natural to go through these emotions.. you just have to hang on! (we all feel like this mate)

     

    This HT world is a Roller coaster of emotions!! You will come away feeling extremely exited... you will then hit an all time low! then you will start feeling better again.. you are at the LOW! don't panic just yet, your only half way there! icon_wink.gif

     

    I am also back in the waiting game, I'm only 4 weeks post HT!! and I am feeling impatient myself..lol.. its just all part of the way it screws your head up after a HT.. but al said and done.. it is most definitely worth all the pain of waiting when you do reach the final stages. I am seeing my HT from the fist HT even looking better now ...more healthy... fuller and straighter than ever before.. 3 years on!

     

    Also, just to add....it is quite rare for someone to not require a 2nd HT, this should always be given consideration before you embark on a HT... some guys will only need one.. but more often a 2nd will give the real finishing touch.. its just something to not rule this out.

     

    Be cool.. you will be fine icon_wink.gif but I agree its really a tuff ride.. and your not alone, hang in there bud I know how your feeling at this stage its not easy but worth the wait in the end u hhave a lot to come yet icon_smile.gif

  6. Hi James... fist of all.. you have made your best move so far. You have found this forum! There are other forums that you may want to look into also that will help with making your next decision.

     

    From here things will change now for you.. you will get some great advice on here from guys that have beeen through the same thing!! I am just one of these guys.

     

    I was in your situation and had to wear a hat for over 10 years as I was so ashamed and depressed about having hair plugs sticking out of my balding head! (horrendous!) I wont go into too much detail about me as I want to just tell you that you are not alone!

     

    You can now start to feel you have plenty of support form the guys on here and also the clinics / Dr's themselves (speaking to the Dr's is really a good idea forst of all send them your pics and ask what they can do to help resolve your unhappy situation...they will have seen 100's of guys in exactly the same situ so dont worry you have come to the right plave to get fixed up).

     

    I saw Spex myself (who is also a UK repair patient and now a consultant for Feller Medical) he is a legend in my opinion.. super caring and a great guy and he will tell you about all the leading clinics and tell you to make your own decision on the advice he has given you.

     

    Travelling is essentail (in my honest opinion) I know this may not be everyones opionion as many just dont want to take the time to travel ouside the uk.. but it is certainly the majority of sucessfull and extremely satisfied HT patients like me.

     

    Remember these results are for life, so travelling a few extra hours to go to the best possible Dr's around doesnt take much thought if you want to have peace of mind and not go through all that worry again.

     

    Its too late to turn the clock back now.. you have been caught in the NET! The Hosp.Group are well known for there appauling treatments! Its such a shame you didnt find these forums sooner.. but you can get your hair fixed! Some guys have had 3 or 4 HT's from the same nightmare clinic!! You have been lucky you found this site when you did.. before its too late.

     

     

     

    I hope this helps give you some comfort in letting you know many of us have suffured the same situation...but my life was transformed along with my hair after my repair with Dr Feller. Check out HT clinics based in North America/Canada as a very wise move to start your research these are the best of the best to fix you up.

     

    Good luck and all the best... you can get this sorted out so try not to worry.

     

    bhuk.

    Thanks Balboa, Thats a real compliment.. styling my hair in a crazy style.. is just a celebration to me in having it back! I wanted to just go for a crazy style in a way... it was kind of letting out the emotion of finally having it back! awesome to hear from you thanks.

     

    All the best to everyone.

    BadhairUk, good to see ya about, works looks excellent, and well covered up. I'd say you'll be the finished article for sure when that grows in. You could be a Feller model even before the latest work....And congrats on the woman, we could all do with one in our lives, if only to give the tricep a rest. icon_biggrin.gif

     

    haha! Yes the last few months I have really started seeing my confidence improve a great deal.. It took some courage to actually push myself to do some of these things to start believing in myself again and going out.. but I am now finding out who I am now.. and liking myself which is the oppersite to how I felt before my repair with Dr Feller.

     

    I am back in the post HT waiting game again now..and really looking forward to a few months down the line when I can really get started with a new beggining properly.

     

    It will mean I can do many of the things I didnt do throughout my entire 20's! So its like getting a 2nd chance. Really appreciate this happening.

     

    I really like your wording 'I'd say you'll be the finished article for sure when that grows in.' that was great to read really appareciate that...many thanks! icon_wink.gif

    im signed up for a ht in the uk this year

    but by doing my research in forums like this im sure dr farjo is a class above most uk surgeons and this is the view shared by others on here

     

    so im relaxed about it although had some negative consultations with 3 others

     

    reading your horror story and others how come these cowboys can operate on people and potentially scar them physically and mentally for life

     

    top marks again for yr story and good luck!!!!!

     

    Thanks Glasgow, All the best with your approaching HT its a very exiting time to think you will be growing hair.. instead of losing hair afterwards! and thats great you have done your research icon_smile.gif

     

    I would like to know the same thing about how they get away with it. The good thing is, these forums help 100's of people by making them aware before they make a big mistake.

     

    Wish you all the best and thanks very much.

  10. I know its easy to hear me saying thanks a lot...but I really mean it! I read your replies and it reminds me of when I 1st found these forums and started believing I could get some hair back that looked natural again!! I still didnt even dream I would have enough to 'style my hair again' like I used to when I was 20! I was just praying to 'fit in' and 'feel like everyone else' and not a loser! That what I dreamed of!! So to be hearing all you guys saying things like... 'wow' 'great' 'incredible' 'inpirational' !! all these things are just amazing to hear!!! truely amazing.. I really am grateful.

     

    Thanks greatly!

     

    p.s I like the idea of goodhairUK! lol. thanks.

    Having gone through the mill, I'm really happy that you were able to achieve the results you rightfully deserved.

     

    In order to fully appreciate the results however, I encourage you to post some photos of your hairline with the hair combed back.

     

    Congrats!

     

    Best wishes,

     

    Bill

     

     

    Thanks Bill, I do owe a lot to Dr Feller i'm not entirely sure when the realisation of all this will sink in fully... but I feel like its a bit of a dream at the moment! Thanks for each persons replies to my post.. big thanks.

     

    I can post a very recent pic of my hair pulled back which was only taken a few weeks ago..

     

    hairpulledbackOct2009.jpg hope this helps.

     

    Thanks Spex for posting the others icon_smile.gif

    Im utterly envious. This also shows Dr. Fellers skill and unrivalled ethics.

     

    Thank u 'wanthairs' I used to see guys that reached really nice results and didnt think I had any hope of seeing a similar kind of result.. hope this lifts peoples spirits for there own future. I really think I was a bad case to work on.. if I can get a top result with all the old crap that was left there and thick scar tissue to try and break through, this really does show that most people will see even better results who start off in better shape than I did! Take care.. wish everyone the best.

    All the best mate.. from a fellow Nobel victim... what were we thinking ah! :/ yes... this recovery time should be quite speedy, each session gets easier with the recovery time as u have more existing hair that grows back to conseal the new work. Good luck with everything.

    I'd like to say that Spex has played a big part in my journey.. and definitely deserves a lot of credit for all his kind help.. I went through some times of uncertainty 'the recovery rollercoaster ride'... and he would be the guy I would speak to and lift my spirits and put me right back on track again. So big cheers goes his way! icon_wink.gif

    just wanted to say congratulations on what has obviously been a "rollarcoaster" journey emotionally.

     

    The results are FANTASTIC, it is so good to hear a horror story turn good, and what a demonstration of Dr fellers abilities.

     

    I am genuiniely pleased for you, its amazing to know that such a difference has been made to your life, and obvious turmoil and heartache has changed into such positive emotions.

     

    Congratulations icon_smile.gif

     

    Cheers Danny for kind words mate.

    I'm in a similar situ to you but it sounds like mine isnt as bad as yours was because I didnt have to hide under a hat. Going my my first of 2 repairs next Friday and really looking forward to getting this under way.

     

    I had my first HT done by the infamous Tom Norton, when I was about a NW1.5 ffs! Didnt need anything doing but slick salesman managed to convince a naive 22 year old that it was worth doing!

     

    I'm really glad that you are getting your life back on track.

     

    Hey Sparky, just want to wish you the best for next Fri! Your next work will be a world apart from the last one icon_smile.gif

  18. UPDATE:

     

     

    Okay, I have had some food and a bath.... and given my hair its first wash.. and rinsed the recipient area and soaped up the donor area to clean it up.. here are some pics.. less of my talking more visual stuff for you to see here...

     

    Some pics where I started... before Dr F helped repair the situ...

     

    Nobel Clinic Hair Transplant pics.. I lived with it like this for over 10 years..

    I think pics speak a million words... so I have tried to use them to speak for me.. I think its clear to see why I am so surprised at my own transformation when you look at how bad I was at the start.. just awesome.. just to repeat myself again.. thanks for all the support everyone... I really needed it to get me here icon_wink.gif

  19. Hi to everyone that already knows my story so far with my HT transformation journey (4 in total)....and those of you that dont know my story. Its been quite a journey of rocky times... icon_frown.gif but the road is now a brighter and much happier one icon_smile.gif

     

    I have been posting my progress ever since the very 1st meeting with Dr Feller around 3 years ago when he made a remarkable change in my life by repairing an appalling UK hair transplant (performed by NOBEL HAIR CLINIC UK) this was back when I was 23 years old (I'm now 37) and totally destroyed my self confidence through the whole of my 20's and part of my 30's. I completely stopped seeing my mates and just hid under a hat when ever I left the house. I also hate wearing caps/hats as they are not the image I want to portray (chav image) but I had no choice after the Noble Clinic completely butchered me, leaving me with terrible donor scarring/ recipient scar tissue and totally unnatural groups of 5 and 6 plugs in the front hairline spaced way to far apart! :angry:

     

    I have been quiet for a few months as I felt I needed to get my life together... I was starting to do things and go out a lot more than before... so I havent posted for a while.. and just been 'finding myself again'.

     

    Well... from the time I had a terrible UK HT 10+ years ago, I lost all contact with friends and stopped wanting to go out and socialise as I felt a freak show and very depressed!! (It really is an emotional thing for me to even think about this as I write this right now as I dont say depressed lightly!!! I was at an all time low taking anti-depressents).

     

    Since then Dr Feller and his super techs! had filled and packed in around 5000 grafts into my front 3rd to give me a result better than I could ever have dreamed of having ever again in my life!!! (I truly can not say this enough!! This has truly changed my life to the extent that I have even been dating a lovely girl which wouldn't have even of been ANY HOPE of doing this without my new found confidence with knowing that I look 'normal!!' and no longer like a freak show!! :huh:

     

    So... here is something I can not even believe has occurred to me over the last few days!!!

     

    I havent been to NYC for longer than few days at a time before just enough to have HT's with Feller Medical (and always on my own). I wanted to go back and see the sights and even more with someone to share the experience of the awesome sights in NYC!!

     

    I had already told my girlfriend that I have had my HT's there and visted Manhatten (she said from the very start it has never bothered her one bit as she thinks it looks really good and would never know unless I had told her) and I wanted to visit Dr Feller to show him how far I have come along since he last saw me (exactly 2 years ago). As I know how pleased I am....and wanted him to see it for himself.

     

    A few days before I was due to leave NYC I dropped in to see Dr Feller and one of the 1st things he told me was 'I already knew you would look this good!' and 'a world apart from before' he had already expected to see me looking a world apart from the damaged guy that walked in that very 1st time with unnatural thick black twisty whirly plugs (by Noble Clinic UK!!!!) This was so nice to hear that he was just as pleased as I was!!

     

    I think it was knowing how sad I was before in my life to transform me to how I am today is quite something special (I was truly rock bottom it was just pure luck from searching the Internet and meeting SPEX that my life changed completely!!!! icon_wink.gif ). I had worn a cap on my head for well over 10 years since the Noble UK work... and I was reaching breaking point if I am being honest!

     

    Some months ago I just briefly mentioned about feeling some hair greed and would like a slightly fuller hairline as the Noble work was still very slightly evident in the direct hairline. This was most likely hard to detect by onlookers unless you are aware of them and it being my head....I was still aware a few of them were still just making the difference from being a natural hairline for me that I can no longer have an concerns about... like I said....in all honesty.... it was hair greed!! and I didn't like having ANY reminder of them as it was a really bad time for me to live with those for a very long time.

     

    I mentioned to Dr Feller how he has transformed not only my hairline but my life!! which is pretty amazing to me to even be writing this now.....and believing that I have been given another chance to really GO FOR the things I want in LIFE NOW!! I am so much more positive about my future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry for all those !!!! but they were needed and truly meant).

     

    After a chat and Dr Feller wanting to take some pics... he said he wasn't entirely happy that the hairline as there was still some NOBEL micro grafts evident at the very front. He showed me there was still a few groups/plugs that had re-shown themselves and he really wanted to FIX them up once and for all!! I am not a rich guy so had no chance of paying for a final session to finish off the hairline to the ultimate result....so I was thinking 'OK, I will have to save up for a few years and come back again'. The trip to NYC was a gift from my girlfriend... as I kept telling her how awesome it was and wanted her to see it with me, we both had time off so seemed the perfect opportunity to go back.

     

    Sorry this is becoming a long write up! I am trying to say everything I am thinking of and its been a while :unsure: ....without stretching this out too long!! as the next thing that happened whilst visiting Dr Feller was something that I totally unexpected! icon_redface.gif

     

    He knew my financial situation was not one that I could afford to pay for a further final session to finish off my hairline by 'filling in between the Noble work' to completely leave them undetectable. He then asked when I was going to be flying back home. I had 2 days left of my trip so he asked if I would be able to come in the following morning and he would be willing to do a FUE session FREE OF CHARGE!!! on my hairline to resolve any of those issues remaining!!!! icon_redface.gif I couldn't even believe I was being offered this kind of generosity/support/help/kindness from the very best HT doc in the field!! Dr Feller must be the most caring guy I have ever met! I have to say I was shocked to have such an offer of this kind and was not expecting this what so ever! I was/am just so grateful I can not even start to tell you how grateful I am. I would never have been able to afford this in all truthfulness.

     

    So, to bring my fellow hair loss guys up to date, I have only just got back home a few hours ago... I had a few hours sleep as I was just so tired after the flight. It went so well... I was out by 2.30pm yesterday and just seemed to fly past... I am now back in the waiting game again.. I am kind of getting used to this by now! lol.

     

    Dr Feller and all his super team of techs by using FUE have placed some new finer/softer hairs between the thicker grafts in my hairline to leave a softer natural result. I am not sure of the graft count, but the fronts were all singles as you would expect and 2's going further back (approx 1" back into the front triangles) I would hazard a guess of approx 800? FUE grafts. The left side needed more than the right and Dr F removed some remaining Nobel nasties! to improve things further still. This is my 1st FUE so the experience was quite different from the strip procedures before hand... I felt very comfortable the whole time... at times I thought I was laying back on my hotel bed and started to fall asleep! all the sight seeing the previous days had really worn me out too!

     

    I am still really quite tired and this hasnt fully sunken in yet! havent eaten anything yet so I will post up more soon as things progress... and some pics in due time.. I know these are what people want to see... in total this is my 3rd Dr Feller HT and each time my life just improves beyond words.

     

    Thank you to everyone that has supported me along my very long journey and tuff road... this is really quite an amazing situation and I know this is a unique situation I am in and have been offered.... and I just once again want to say how incredibly grateful I am!! MANY THANKS DR FELLER ALL YOUR SUPER STAFF AND SPEX that have changed my life beyond words.

     

    Cheers everyone for all your support I hope this helps to show that anyone in a similar situation can be helped!! you can get your life back on track... I just want you to know... by finding these forums... you have possibly made the best discovery of your life just by finding these forums just like I did... it was just pure luck for me as a last grasp for some kind of hope!! but it was the luckiest thing I ever did for sure.

     

    PLEASE TAKE NOTE: NEVER HAVE A HT IN THE UK!!!!!! Travel!! Stop thinking UK Clinic are anywhere near the Level of USA/Canada HT procedures. This is my own opinion from my own experience.

     

    Take care guys....I'll post some updates regularly...to show how things are going... hang in there everyone... I know this is a unique situation.. and will complete a very long Roller Coaster journey for me now B)

     

     

     

    BHUK.

    If you can travel then Feller is good with hairlines as proven many times. He has already done what appears a very good job so far on you also looking at your blog. He has many happy patients online who have documented their hairline surgery with him like Rahal has but Rahal is far too aggressive in my opinion, it depends what you want... Aggressive, age appropriate, conservative etc.

     

    I am seeingMwamba for FUE as don't want strip.

     

    Hi 1973kop, I'd have to agree with JamesH... Dr Feller has worked wonders on me.. I was in need of repair and was saved by these guys!

     

    All the best with ur next session icon_smile.gif

    Hey mgem icon_smile.gif dont worry mate! I was in the same sitiation as you... I remember thinking exactly the same things.. 'I cant believe I am going to NYC' .. waiting for the taxi to turn up at home to take me to the airport was one of my most nervious moments.. I was really nervious walking out the front door to get into the taxi even! But when I eventually got to the airport... for some reason... the airport gives you that 'i'm going on holiday feeling!' lol.. I felt like everything was a bit of a dream and everything just fell into place perfectly..the airports are easy to navagate.. and I havent been to an airport for about 15 years! so it really was something for me to be worried about... but for me...the nerves turned into more like 'excitement!' when you get into you hotel room you can finally get your shoes off and lay on the bed and chill out! Your there! Your in great hands! a million guys have already been there and done it so you know your in safe hands icon_wink.gif you made a great choice of drs.. Dr Feller is really a nice guy as well as the very best guy to give you the best result possible! You'll feel a whole lot better on the day than you will the days leading upto it... I am terible at waiting for things.. and the night before I felt my most restless... and prob my most nervious moment. But once I woke up that morning I was more than ready and just wanted to get to see Dr Feller finally and give me some hair on top of my head I have been wishing for fo so long! icon_wink.gif

     

    I know how your feeling, but going to NYC was the most exiting time of my life! Thats how good it is! wish I was you it will be great.. icon_wink.gif enjoy it...its awesome!
