david from stockport

Thanks David , did try uploading a couple of pics but it wouldnt do it - think was to big an image though I cant think how , will try again when I get an hour or so rather than a few mins .

@ taking the plunge - the only pic I have is my passport pic taken on Sat I did try to upload it but couldnt figure it out , I will follow your link and try to start an album , for 30 yrs ive not let people take my photo so apart from the ones taken by HIS non exist but I believe before/after pics are most important in this industry , ive also had 3 failed fue transplants in Greece .

They are on the His hair forum , I will post a link but HTN will probaly remove it . On the forum its in the diary section title - My 50th Birthday present from myself . (Link removed by moderator)

Just got his to update my story with the after pics from session 2 - they dont do it justice so ive also uploaded my new passport photo taken on sat ( 5 days after session 2)

Should definatly contact HIS , they could do an amazing job on Gary .

Thanks , im waiting for the pics from my 2nd session on Mon 15th to be loaded to the HIS hair forum , onlys pics from session 1 (mon 8th April) on there at moment . With His SMP 1st session is like a basecoat/ test session and dots are sparse 2nd session is the Magic session when density is added and hopefully 3rd session is just a touch up . I did post the link to my case in my first post but you seem to have removed it so anybody intrested will have to go onto the His hair website it is on there forum under SMP Diarys and titled My 50th Birthday present to myself . When ive got to the stage where I can wash/shave my head and it has settled in I will post pics direct onto this site to make it easier .

After years of heartache - n/w 7 since about age 22 and with 3 failed fue transplants I decided to go down the SMP route as this is the look ive always been after anyway - as Im 50 next month this is my gift to myself (via a bank loan) . I had my 2nd session 2 days ago and HIS have not yet posted the pics from that session but it went great , here is the story so far - Well my diary starts here guys , History - Now im 49 yrs 11 months , lost most of my hair by 22yrs of age and like a lot of guys ive hidden away putting off getting a life until I get my head sorted . Hoped could start living @ 40 yrs and had 3 Fue transplants at DHI In Greece ( 1 with chest hair , 2 with scalp hair) all failed . The look ive always wanted is the buzzed/shaved /his look which id choose even if I had thick natural hair . It has effected my life terribly and as well as depression ive been so close to suicide on a few occassions and ive been in hospital for my own safety !! - makes me a bit miffed when I read about fat folk getting the state to pay for gastric bypasses and girls getting boob jobs on the NHS to make them feel better, when I asked my Doc about getting the HIS treatment on NHS he said there was no way even though I first visited the docs at 19 ! - 31 yrs ago !! I was obsessed about my hair from the age of 12 when I had loads of it (was a mess though) and would spend hours in front of the mirror getting it to look ok - and then would not leave the house if there was any wind , used to use tins of Cossack hairspray on it !! Im not daft , before the transplants I tried lotions,potions, being suspended upside down , the lot - even if HIS do a great job on me Im aware I will have mental scars that never go away - but at least maybe I can have a little life . Im a n/w7 and have always for the last 30 yrs shaved my head without the guard on the top of my head ( about 100 hairs from transplants) and the back/sides I do with my electric shaver same as my chin , to the wood . Im lucky im not scared by my tranplants and as I ve always shaved my new his look will not be to much of a shock . Ive just booked my Travel Inn for Sunday night as im up at 9am Monday morning at the Birmingham clinic , weird feeling being this close after so long , bit worried as I bled a lot more than most during my transplants . Becouse of my look ive never allowed photo s to be taken of me ( pic on forum is work ID photo) there are no pics to post as yet , I can get sick if I see photo s of myself so there arnt any . I will ask that HIS mail the before /after pics to Damien so he can post them on this thread for you all to see , as we are all in the same boat im happy for the pics to show my full face and not be blocked out .

Sorry but you need to shave your head and I suspect you need more density

Hi Guys, Yes Im under the doc who is sending me to see both a pyciatrist and pycoligist at the same time as he unsure if im depressed or ive got a personality disorder probaly body morphic disorder! -yes I do have realistic expectations which is why im very upset that my 3 transplants failed . I just want a U S Marine style head -keeping the back and sides shaved completly and just light stubble covering the top , as I dont need any hair at the back and side I was happy to use all that hair (its shaved now and fue scars not noticable to naked eye) I originaly tried body hair becouse of its darker and thicker and like I said just 800 looked good so hair from my beard would be ideal and as I dont grow the hair on top longer than a no 1 and never grow the back and sides you d never see the different colours etc - what gets me down is 3 (dhi) sessions have failed and I now dont trust hair transplant docs I know some of you guys have been lucky but a lot dont seem to be . Im not after much id be happy with hair like a lot of the before photos you see about.

I had a body hair transplant 4 years ago using chest hair- im a n/w 7 and only had 800 grafts but becouse my chest hair is dark and thicker than my head hair was it looked great and for the first time in nearly 20 years I dreamt about having a life , unfortuantly although it grew ok for about 5/6 months by 9 months it had all gone . Ive since had 2 by fue transplants using head hair and these have both been largly unsuccesfull (only about 100 hairs left) im now so depressed and suicidal ive no hair and no money . If beard hair could be taken by fue that would give me hope for the future as mine is very dark and thick and Im only after a scattering of stubble on top and it stays shaved compleatly at the back and sides. Ive seen beard hair transplants using head hair to create a beard but never beard hair to go on the head. If this was possible it would be intresting mind you ive no money left and I dont reckon id ever trust a hair transplant doc again my life is ruined

Hi JUST A BIT OF INFO ON iNTERCYTEX -THEY ARE IN MY LOCAL PAPER TONIGHT ABOUT BEING ASKED TO HELP SET UP THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES INSTITUTE OF REGENERATIVE MEDICINE -WORKING TO HELP INJURED SOLDIERS BY DEVELOPING LIVING SKIN REPLACEMENTS

Its no fun loosing your hair at 19 I know mine went then as well ,im 45 next month and its ruined my life ,You are lucky you have age on your side even if cloning is 10 years away you will be still a young guy so try not to let it destroy you like it did me - buzz your hair get in the gym and build up the parts of your body you do have control over ,then when cloning gets here you will have great hair and a great body .Time is on your side !!!!!!

Good luck mate -your 1 year pics look great - im jelous -will be thinking of you today .

keep us updated im only 5 miles away from Manchester but am working till 9pm -doh What time you going onto or does it depend on the standaerd of beer? David

NO - PERMANENT MAKE UP LASTS FOR 1-2 YEARS AND IS USED MAINLY MY FEMALES WHO HAVE LOST THERE EYELASHES FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURES IT HAS ALSO BEEN USED TO HELP DISKISE AHAIR TRANSPLANT SCAR ON SOMEONE WHO WISHES TO KEEP THERE HEAD SHAVED, THEY PROBALY HAVE GUYS IN THE US THAT DO SUCH THINGS, DONT SUPPOSE IT COSTS AS MUCH AS A TRANSPLANT IF YOU ARE JUST BASSICALY HIDING THE SCAR. I WOULD NOT POST ANYTHING WHICH I THOUGHT MAYBE A SCAM AS IF YOU READ MY POSTS YOU WILL SEE THAT IM SUCIDAL AT THE MOMENT BECOUSE OF 3 FAILED TRANSPLANTS AND I CANNOT EVEN LOOK AT MYSELF IN THE MIRROR ,IM IN DEBT AND HAVE TO STAY NIGHTS AT MY PARENTS SO I DONT END IT!-I WOULD NOT PLAY AROUND KNOWING HOW HAIRLOSS AFFECTS US AND HAVE SEEN HOW TRANSPLANT DOCS JUST TAKE OUR MONEY AND RUN ,TRANSPLANTS MAY WORK FOR SOME BUT NOT THE 99% THEY CLAIM TAKE CARE DAVID
