i'm due to have my stitches removed tomorrow and am 4000 miles away from my Doc. they gave me a removel kit and even explained to my son who was with me about removing them, so he is taking them out for me. my GP is the other option for removing them, either way it's not a problem.

why would you let the length of a flight be a deciding factor when making such an important decision. do the research pick one of the best and book your flight. i 12 hours and two flights to get to the Doctor i felt would be best for me and would do it again in a heartbeat,the travel will be a distant memory while the hair remains!

simple answer, doner density wasn't great and when the doc started scalp elasticty was better then expected. the plan is to return for 2000-2300 to mid scalp and back. i am about 1 month into takind propecia and doc thinks it will work well for me. so with a combination of propecia and results of 1st HT a more exact plan will emerge.

a couple of pics today, day 7 any thoughts guys?

mostly in the front and mid scalp with the plan being to return and get some more at a later stage. all seems well at the moment, the hairs don't seem to be falling out yet so have that to look forward to-) Do they always fall out? the only discomfort now is a terrible itch but i can live with it!

just finished with Dr Epstein and 2300 graphs. first off what a nice guy, what a great bunch of people he has working for him. arrived there at 8am this morning and was straight into it. haveing only had a photo consultation he had a look and outlined his plan to place around 2200 graphs ( had paid for 2500 and he cut a cheque for the differance, could have said nothing as i didn't count them.-)) the procedure was as painless as you could expect an the time went by quickly. Dr E genuinely puts everything into the procedure and wants the best possible result for the patient. he chats throughout the day and is a very intresting and open guy. his staff are fantastic and look after you as if you were a family member. they are kind and work tirtlessly to keep up with Dr E. last night i sleept ok, was a little sore at the donor site but only a 5 out of 10 on a pain scale. the graphs are fine and i have very little bleeding. am due back to the office for a shampoo this am and Dr wants to see me for a check-up on tuesday before i fly home.i will write a fuller account for my web log when i get home. thanks to all on this site for their help in making this choice.
