Scarred4Life

Hello Boys, Why do you say it's a tough call. It's a very straight thing, back to front or front to back. Although for those who get done over two or more sessions they have the choice to try back to front one time,wait and then try front to back the next time and see which one they enjoyed more. If anyone tries that please share your experience with us so that we know before getting it done. I do have a question though, Does Wong wear a Thong when he is doing it to you?

I am considering getting Biceps Implants,has anyone of you guys know anything about it? Is there anyone who have had it done? There is a Doctor here in LA who is doing them. He claims that it works just like breast implants except the implants are hard as rock not soft like breast implants. I would appreciate any help that you can offer. I am desperate to have a big, really big biceps and this might just be the answer to my prayers.

Oh no,no,no you understood just fine and thanks for sharing. So that clarifies how Wong likes to do it which is to put it in from front and slowly work his way back. Sounds like he is a very gentle type of a guy. I like that in my Drs. It makes the whole experince so much more tolerable. Anyone want to help us out here as to their experience with how Hasson does it? We already know that he puts it in from back to front, but is he Gentle too?

LOL, I can't resist commenting on this one. One of them does it Front to back and the other one Back to Front. Now my question is which one gave you more pleasure and please don't be shy we are all grown ups here. Give us the juicy details. We know which one Noglare enjoyed more.

Gentlemen: This is S4L coming to you live and in person on a mission to save humanity from HT. I found this post and thouhgt to copy and share it with those who might have missed it. No I don't believe it, it can't be, really, someone other than the bitter S4L who got the shaft!! Huh, hard to believe. Greetings all. I have read this site and others for some time now and have decided to share my experience and deductions. In my early thirtys I began to notice that my hairline was beginning to become somewhat transparent. I was into the music scene (metal) and had long hair and to me it just didn't look as good even though the recession was minimal. After doing some research, including this site, I decided to go with one of the featured doctors, Dr. Edwin Epstein. After a consutation with the doctor it was determined that I had about 2.5 cm of recession with about 20-25 thinner native hairs per sq. cm within this area. The doctor recommended a small procedure of just 300 fut.s to thicken things up. Other doctors I had consulted recommend much more, but doctor Edwin Epstein seemed much more sincere, and his personal website looked much more impressive. That with the fact he was featured with the many esteemed doctors here cinched the deal for me. So in May of 2003 I had my first procedure and received 383 fu.s into my hairline. The whole process took less than 2 hours, I didn't even have time to finish watching the movie the doctor was kind enough to put on for my comfort. The whole operation was painless, even the numbing, and I was impressed at how quickly that I had healed after the procedure. Unfortunately, this is where the accolades end. After nearly one year this minor procedure had not just minor, but negative results. Not only were the existing hairs shocked away to never return, but less than 50 new fu.s apparent. In another consultation with the doctor he had expressed his disappointment and offered another larger procedure at a discount. After consideration and consulting with another clinic familiar with Dr. Edwin Epstein, I had agreed to what I was told would be a final procedure. On June of 2004 I had a second session in which I received 1105 fu.s into the same area and even a little above. Nearly a year after this second procedure the results were quite bleak. I have coarse nearly black hair and a lighter complexion, the dreaded combo for hairline transplantation. With that said I now have about 10 fu.s per. sq. cm. of thick black hairs going across my entire hairline by 3 cm. high. No matter how I style my hair I cannot entirely hide this bizarre new look. I have since cut my hair short and wear hats, something I have never done before, to hide this. Also the fact that nearly 1000 of my donor fu.s were MIA, more that likely KIA, has added to the trauma. I had initially done about two months of research with multiple resources before my first procedure. In the three years since my last procedure I have learned you cannot do enough research. I will be posting photos soon and will be happy to field any futher questions. This message has been edited. Last edited by: Occam's Razor, April 27, 2007 07:22 PM

What photoshop? Wrong Guess . I am legit bro and would never stoop so lo as to using photoshop. Didn't you read that I said 100% sure way. That means in real life. I am providing a public service out of the goodness of my heart to help my fellow scarred brethren and you accuse me of using fraudulant methods. I am shocked, just shocked!! You heard the saying "it takes one to know one" Hmmmm, makes one wonder why you thought that I used Photoshop? Any other guesses? However I do appreciate your very astute comment on growing my hair another inch. Brilliant

Hi you guys. I have come up with a 100% sure way of getting rid of your donor scar. I have done lots and lots of research in order to develop this technique and it is copyrigthed © and a Registered Trademark. Anyone duplicating or copying this material will be subject to prosecution. I have posted a picture of my 100% sure way of getting rid of your scar here. Let me know what you think.

Abdi Jan, Chetori baradar aziz. Nakon,Nakon,Wa sad bar Nakon. Man HT gereftam va badtarin karieh keh dar omram kardam. Akseh mano nekah kon. Hey Bill can you guess what I told this guy? You win a big prize if you do.

DMG, let me add my sincere appreciation and welcome you to this community. I won't belabor the point and just have you take a peak at my super duper HT results. I know Bill is going to make a comment if I do. Although his snipes have toned down somewhat. What's up Bill? Just hanging out here helping, helping, good for you. You are a credit to humanity. All this work for no pay. How do You pay your bills man? DMG ,since you already like you hair really short and I bet it looks great on you as it does on me then what the hell are you doing here asking about FUEs vs. Strip and all this crap? Stay the hell away from any and I mean any type of HT. And let me tell you one more thing, all of us guys who think women prefer men with hair I have news for you. I had more women show interest in me with a shaved head than before or after I had transplants. It's the confidence that you project when you feel good about yourself that attracts women, hair or no hair. This media driven society is destroying the lives of countless men by portraying men with hair as somehow better looking or deserving that those without. Accept yourself the way God has meant you to be and be happy with the way you are. Best of luck to you DMG.

Cali84, You are one lucky guy. Here you are getting unbiased, truthful advice from complete strangers. The fact that you are asking for advice from these strangers who are completely objective is a blessing. I know how difficult it is at your age with your whole life still ahead of you to be experiencing the start of your journey into being Bald. I was just like you a few years back except that I was not smart enough to go online and ask for advice from complete strangers whose motives I wouldn't have a clue about. But Let me be the one to reassure you that some the ones that have already responed to your post are just fantastic people who as you can tell from the thousands of posts to their credit are here to help guys like you and I. I want you to know that if you ever decide to get a hair transplant check with these guys first for their recommendations. They have been throught it and are in no way going to stir you wrong. I hope that I was a little helpful although I know that I can't come close to Bill's advice who is a Celestial Follicle Club Member. I have posted a photo of my HT results which looks great, doesn't it?

Billy, Billy, Billy_the_bald, It's looking just as it should bro. Each person and case is different and no results can be guranteed or promised. Any surgical procedure especially of the cosmetic nature are totaly elective and voluntary therefore even with the Dr. doing his best (which they always do) the final result might not be what the patient expected. It is important to do lots and lots of research and then some more research and come to forums like this where you can get lots and lots of unbiased , wholesome, truthfull information, support , handholing and a shoulder to cry on before deciding to get a HT which is a major surgical procedure as I am sure you were informed since I was told all that and I still chose to go ahead and get it done anway. Buyer beware is my moto now. I would also get a 2nd, 3rd and to be on the safe side 4th opinion from the approved and vetted Drs. on this site. Think of a vetted Dr. as a neutered dog, they are harmless. Oh I almost forgot or maybe you know this already but it won't hurt if you hear it again, WAIT,WAIT, and WAIT some more. It takes time for the hair to grow and look fantastic which it will I promise you even if your Dr. doesn't. Now I am not a Dr. and have never played one on TV but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

Clavinmd, Thank you for your honest and unbiased statements in response to Harry jones. You have explained it the way that I didn't do in my posts since I am so upset with the scarring that I have as the result of getting HT. Let's hope that by having said what you have it will stop any more guys from going through with what I and countless others have suffered. I just wish that I had a similar warning.

Yeh Bro, that's what you are going to hear a lot from these guys. Wait, it's too early, give it more time, be patient, it'll get better. Guess what bro and I really feel for you since I have had as bad an experince as you, it ain't going to get better and it will get worse. At this time whatever you do,don't ever let one of these frauds touch you ever again. One of the reasons they tell you to wait is so that the statued of limitations for suing them will run out. At least I did'nt make that mistake and managed to get all my money refunded. If you need to know how I did that let me know and I'll be happy to help you. Again I am sorry for what has happened to you.

You are absolutely right that I am here to scare people into not having HT. That is the only thing so far that you have said that has any truth to it. Since I started posting on this site I have had just one simple request and that is to show me postop photos of the donor area that has no or minimal scarring as it is so many times claimed here is possible by supposed happy patients and the HT angels of mercy. I have not seen one yet. Now that begs the question, What is the reason? After all wouldn't you agree that with the thousands of supposed successful HT surgeries done by these recommended Dr.'s that just one such case can be produced. Now I'll be the first person who would be estatic to see such a photo because then I would know that I can get my disfiguring scar fixed. Show me and I will shut the hell up otherwise you and the rest of those who make such claims should shut the hell up. Deal?

Tarasilk,Vin Diesel look not for you hahaha,funny. I am not the only one who has had a Bad experince but I am one who is out here talking about it and trying to prevent others from ending up with my fate. Have you had a HT or are you getting one? If not then you have no right to give advice to those who have been disfigured by it like me or are going to get it. I would never give advice to someone who is going to get Botox or lip augmentation (it's not attractive & not the look for me) or nose job or liposution since I don't have any personal experience with them. So I suggest you stick to what you know and have personal experince with. I would recommand to potential victims of these hucksters to video tape their consultations in order to have a record of what they are promised verbally. Tarasilk you surely wouldn't have any objections to that idea, would you? I would think that the first HT angel of mercy who makes such an offer would give his potential victims more assurance that he is on the up and up and has nothing to hide, right? Think about it like the video cameras that they have on Police cars which is actualy more for the protection of the cops from wrongful accusations of police brutality than for the good of the offenders. This way the HT angel of mercy will be able to categoricaly prove that he never failed to tell his victims that they are going to have scaring,many many more procedures in order to get acceptable results(not likely)or that there will be little pain,no swelling of the head,face, nose, eyes for 2 weeks or more.

Finnari & Dazza UK Don't do it. I had HT 6 years ago and have regreted every moment of it. It's not the doctor,it's not the instruments they use, it's not the harvesting method, it's not the wound closure, these are all smoke and mirrors trying to fool insecure usnsupecting suckers like us into getting HT done. If you decide to do it anyway then ask your HT Doctor (Huckster) to give you a written gurantee that you will have cosmeticaly acceptable results with which YOU are completely satisfied or your money back no questions asked. You'll see that he won't do it. They also won't tell you the first time that you are going to need more transplants done in the future but by then it's too late since you are now stuck with having more done in order to get more coverage. I have posted a photo of my scar here for you guys to see which will hopefuly convince you not to go ahead with HT. It is permanent and there is nothing that can be done to fix it. The tranplanted grafts upfront(which I have shaved off) gave me the "porcupine" look. I wish someone had warned me back then when I was stupid enough to do this. Also from reading the posts on this site I suspect that most of the supposed members on this site are paid agents of these hucksters pretending to be satisfied HT patients providing a public service from the goodness of their heart. Take a look at all the celeberties and athletes who have shaved their heads like Bruce Wilis, Andre Agassi,Vin Diseal, Shaque and others who look great. Try it and if that's not the look for you then you haven't lost anything you can just let it grow back. You don't have that option once you are literaly SCALPED, it is permanent. I hope this was helpful to you guys.

Behappy has explained it just right. I am not interested in adding hair to the front. I much prefer to shave my head after having it done and seeing that I look much better with my head shaved. As far as Hasson goes,if you remember in my earlier post I told you that my impression of him as a person was not a positive one. I have done a search on this site using "Scar Repair" and the name that came up was Rose in Florida. I sent him an e-mail with a picture of my scar. He replied and said to call him. I e-mailed him back and asked him to send me before and after photos of the repairs that he has done so that I can see what type of results to expect. I haven't heard back from him. Now flaceros since you seem to know so much about this stuff I would appreciate it if you can tell me where to find out the information that I am looking for. I have seen all sorts of claims on this site about putting FUEs or FITs or Tricophyte or Ledge Closure but no PHOTOS of results!!! What's the problem. If these are such great techniques as these hucksters claim it to be then show us the proof. But no they want you to pay them the money first which as you know is non refundable once you set up the appointment and get you to have the procedure done. If you are not happy then that's just too bad since you signed a consent form that no results are guranteed and each person and case is different. Bullshit.

I have consulted with two board certified head and neck plastic surgeons who have told me there is nothing that can be done to fix the scar. I would like to see photos of such repairs. So far I haven't been able to find any either on this site or anywhere else, have you seen any?

TomA, I had my HT done 6 years ago. I got it done in Seattle by Dr. Mangubat. 2650 grafts total over 2 sessions. First session 1350 and one year later 1300 grafts. He said that there will be some scarring but it won't be noticable. Maybe he meant to blinds it won't be noticable. This is the first time since I had it done that I cut my hair this short. I actualy shaved my head 3 weeks ago. I look much better with my head shaved than with the porcupine look of the transplants in front which I hate. I thought I won't care if people see the scar but after a couple of weeks I couldn't stand the stares no more and started to grow my hair back. I only wish that some one had warned me back then and saved me from this disfiguring procedure. Doctors take an oath that first "They will do no harm". This is exactly what these quacks do, harm people. The one silver lining from all this trauma is that I managed to get back every penny back that I paid this guy. He didn't give me a refund out of the goodness of his heart since he knew that if I took him to court and a jury saw the scaring and the crapy transplants on top that it would cost him a whole hell of lot more.

Noglare, I am sorry to know that you have gotten HT. it's too late now but I wish I could have prevented you from having it done. Here is a photo of my donor area scar. I can never ever wear my hair short for the rest of my life and not look like a freak. I shaved my head three weeks ago and thought that I wouldn't care if people noticed the scar but after a couple of weeks I just didn't want to deal with the stares and I am growing my hair back again to cover up the stupid scar. Getting HT has been the biggest mistake of my life. Good luck to you man.

Folica, don't do it man. Don't scar yourself for the rest of your life. I made the mistake and am scared 4 life. Go to www.baldrus.com and get educated. From what I have seen so far on this site it seems that most of the members here that promote HT are agents of the HT Docs. Take a look at my scar.

TomA for god's sake don't do it. Save your money for yourself and family. What these quacks don't show you is the scaring in the donor site which is permanent and there is nothing that can be done to fix it. Look at the photo of my scar which I have been told is not too BAD. Yeah, not too bad when it's not on their head. Again don't do it.

If you have ever met and talked to Hasson you'll know that he makes Used Car salesmen look like mother teresa! I ran out of his office as fast as I could. I went to him for a consult after having had HT at another clinic. I wanted to see if he can fix my scar on the donor site. He wanted to do more HT. I am shocked that these guys have the nerve to call themselves Doctors. Quacks is a more appropriate term and maybe even Frauds. I hope someday these Charlatans are all put out of business who prey on poor suckers like us insecurities. Those of you who read this and are thinking about getting HT, DON't. Save yourself from the disfigurement that I and many like me have gone through which we have to live with for the rest of our lives. I have posted a photo of the scar.
