  1. 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 .
  2. @ 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 .
  3. 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)
  4. 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)
  5. Should definatly contact HIS , they could do an amazing job on Gary .
  6. 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 .
  7. 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 .
  8. Sorry but you need to shave your head and I suspect you need more density
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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 !!!!!!
  13. Good luck mate -your 1 year pics look great - im jelous -will be thinking of you today .
  14. 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
  15. 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

  18. Speaking as someone who was a NW7 by 29 I think you have a great hair of hair just maybe try a shorter style and save your money - even buzz it and bet it looks great. Dont think you need worry for a few years yet and by then who knows what will be on the market. If you have the money burning a hole in your pocket open a savings account with it and if your hair starts to go baddly the money is there -if not you have a nice little nest egg!! take care David
  19. I e-mailed twice but heard nothing then did not bother ,I suppose I dont want to admit 3 have failed or ive only had 10% growth becouce that is so final and im trying to kid myself it will suddenly grow (sad I know) .I think you meant Lorriane Lambert not Norman and I have seen her but I think she is mainly in Ireland now I saw a guy called Piet who seemed a really top guy in fact I liked all I met just a pity ive nothing much to show David
  20. Hi Chucky, Yes only the first session was body hair approx 800 grafts on a nw7 ,I know thats not a lot but my chest hair looks thicker and far darker than scalp hair and it did look very inpresive on the front half of my head(none placed further back than crown) ,about half fell out over the next six weeks but some grew very well I was cutting them every few days to keep buzz cut look . My look at 4 months was far better than at 8 months . Ive since been back twice for scalp hair as I thought this may work better (when ur desparate you just want that hope)now im 9 months after last op and again looking worse than 4 months -not really got what you would call any cosmeticaly usefull hair any ive got is fine and vellus - in fairness I just been to me parents and used there magnifing mirror to look at the crown and back and I can see quite a few hairs there that dhi placed as I asked for a couple of hundred there so that even if not really show it breaks it up a bit. Im trying to keep myself going by kidding myself that after 9 months I may still have lots of hair to grow. Im realistic on what I wanted and thats a covering of stubble all over rather than just an expance of baldness , I call it designer baldness! thanks again guys David
  21. Thanks for all your support guys- yes I am under the doctor and on sleeping pills and anti-depression pills + am on waiting list for counciling but its a 18 mth- 2yr waiting list ,im going to ask the company I work for if they will sort me out privatly they have done for other staff. I think why it has hit me hard is becouse even as a child I was obsessed with my hair -it was plentyfull but awfull and never looked good (should have just buzzed it)I started to loose my hair at 18/19 yrs and as you guys know this is not nice, at about 22yrs of age I buzzed my hair I was then sacked from my job as my hairstyle did not fit the company image!! -I was very upset as can image and did not work for a couple of months so had to sell my house and move back with my parents ,I ended up staying 20 years I now live in a pokey studio apt (rented)Ive tried everything before my transplants - minoxodil ,finesteride ,fish extract pills ,a machine for tipping you upside down (bet some remember that?) When I first had my transplant I was so impressed I felt on top of the world it was so impressive I only had 800 or so body hairs on a n/w7 but my chest hair is much darker and better quality than my scalp hair and so looked great as a buzz cut look is all I want and as I shave the back and sides like my face the diff coloured hairs do not matter -as I shave it all from the back and sides in theory I can use it all as doner hair if it worked. My hair grew for the first few months after all 3 transplants but not much there now and I keep them buzzed on 0. thanks again guys it mean a lot right now David
  22. Thanks to you all -this is about the 5th time in 20 years ive got to the suicidal stage I like to go to the gym and that has saved me in the past but just now cant sleep,eat etc so gym out of question also just had a hernia op gone wrong! Its far worse this time becouse ive no hope left ive tried lotions ,potions and transplants and feel like the elephant man , now ive even trown away the love of my life cos I just so down -im ashamed that I cannot find the inner strenght that others like me must have along with guys with deformities etc or missing limbs thanks David
  23. Morning Guys, Thanks for the messages they do help, I just cant control my body ,cant sleep, eat my head is just full of thoughts of how to end it ,im very distressed- I probaly do have a little donner hair left as I shave the back and sides completly and only want a buzz cut appearance anyway . I dont trust the hair industry anymore and it has taken away my hope. yesterday I said goodbye to my parents and my girlfriend becouce I believed that id end it all during the night-my body is beating itself up, I hate what this has done to me but even worse is what its doing to those who love me but just feel so helpless-thanks guys -just needed to get off my chest David
  24. I wish id done some more research before I got in the mess im in now im 44 years of age and have not had much of a life in the last 20yrs and when I got a computer and went on the web 4 years ago I saw the DHI website and was impressed altough the warning signs are there -photo s of guys on day of op 18 months ago but no update etc . After my first op it took 24 hours to look at my head (800 chest hairs)as I dont have much doner hair and it looked stunning I started to believe I could finaly have a life - lots of these grew for 1st 6 months then I lost them ive since had 2 more ops at DHI so altogether approx 3500 hairs -on a good day I can see about 300 ! Now im under the doctor becouce im suicidal I cannot look in the mirror without feeling sick my hope is all gone and now im so distressed ill be lucky to see out the week -I have no faith in hair transplant sergery anymore or hope for any advances in the near future. If hair transplant docs are honest perhaps they could start charging us the same way you can buy furniture ! ie free for 12 months then charge for the growing hairs!! that would weed a few out
