Cheers for your post Acrobaz. I have to date generally followed the suggestions that you have made. I think in my head I've decided that I'm not one of those people who will be able to 'buzz-it' as I'm just one of those people who that look doesn't suit! I have been using minoxidil for about a year and finasteride for about 6 months and not really noticed any difference (although it's not easy to tell!). I'm not desperate to restore my hairline I just don't want to lose any more but I think over the next year I'll keep researching and maybe get a few consultations and just see what happens and how much more hair I lose!

Cheers for the suggestion, just checked out Dr Bisanga (Sounds like a bond villain!)'s site and it looks very good and professional. I'll probably do the online consultation and see what they say.

Hi folks, I'm new to this site but wanted to ask some advice. I'm 26 and receding quite badly and in a bit of a panic I paid a deposit with the Hospital Group for a HT, but recently decided to cancel the appointment and lose my ??500 deposit because: 1) I was never given the opportunity to meet with the surgeon and only spoke to a sales man 2) They offered me a discount if I agreed to the procedure within a couple of days of meeting with the sales man (which seemed a bit unethical) 3) I read a lot of bad reviews about them on this site 4) Having second thoughts about the procedure I've started looking again now at having a consultation with another, more reputable, clinic, and I wondered if anybody had any recommendations, especially people from the UK who may have advice on how easy it is to travel abroad? I was also interested to hear whether people chose to tell people they knew that they were having the procedure and how easy it is to 'cover it up'? I would be happy to tell my friends but would rather keep it quiet from my work colleagues. I'd appreciate any help I can get and sorry for the long post...
