fixing-it

H&W and Shapiro are 5.00 for the 1st 2000 grafts and 2.50-3.00 dollars per graft over 2000.

Welcome NH2008,

like hairthere said the grafts have taken root.Sometimes it looks like its more than just the scab with a hair in it,but rest assured the grafts have taken hold.

If you lose a graft now there would be substantial bleeding.

Hey gizmo,

I am in the same boat as you,just had my HT 3 days ago and it feels a little tight, but youv'e got to let the skin stretch back slowly{and it will}just give it some more time.

Super8mm-If you want to consult with Hasson&Wong,Their U.S. consultant MIKE FERKO has an office in portland and an office in seattle and has had a HT himself.

his cell# is 206-799-2128

Yes indeed Nervous,It is a system,you can tell by looking at the sides and the low-slung {fake} hairline.

Hey Dewayne,

I find this weird that they say they rarely have patients that need more than 1300-1500 grafts,most of us need alot more.

They must not be set-up too handle more.Too most coalition doc's anything under 2000 grafts is considered a small to possibly medium session.

Since this Dr is in the coalition,He does not seem to be fitting some of the requirements.

maybe Bill will chime in.

Looks clean,I bet you can't wait for next 6 months to pass.congrats

Hey Balody,

Dont forget Bill recently turned 30,Now he's an old timer like a lot of us on here,thus old & forgetful.

Bill,

You stated you are contemplating a 3rd HT,Didn't you already have your 3rd one in 2006.I guess since you are now over the hill your'e memory is slipping.

P.S. only 2 more weeks until I see Hasson.

Hey jobi,

The same thing happened to me also,at about 8 1/2 months-10 months little ingrown hairs but they did go away all by themselves,but they weren't that painful for me.I think they were just slow growth like crowns are known for.

NG2GB where have you been ?

No wonder he had his head shaved.Thought it was just the new fad.

He looks like DAVE RAMSEY.

Aquarius what?

OK now i'm confused.

Hey Y&T,

Are you still going to post the pics,It may help another female know where she stands if she had similar as yours.

The first thing you should do, is an in-person consult with a reputable hair doc,so they can look at your hair under magnafication to see if and how much miniaturization is occurring.

This way the Dr will know the best plan for you.

Thats it,Thanks Bill.

While I agree with some things you have said,Why is there a price in this posting,Is this an advertisement?

Hello Y and T,

Seeing as you are young,Have you tried meds like rogaine or concealers like dermmatch or toppik?You might want to try these type of things and save a possible HT for last.Do lots of researching and welcome to this forum.

Hey Bill or anybody who knows,

I can't find the post where you explained what the phases the hair are in when somebody has started meds and they are experiencing shedding.What are these phases called ? And how long do they last ?

Thanks

Congrats,

Stay away from the mirror and spend time on hobbies if you have them,It helps kill the time,good growing.

Personally, if someone asked me (after I get a ht) how I have new hair; Im not sure what I would say.

I think you told me in PM you were a diffused thinner,thus the perfect person to say you were trying meds{propecia-avacor etc.}Everybody see's this stuff on T.V. and would readily believe it anyway.Remember like i told my sister when she asked,nobody would probably ask beyond that.

Hey petesman,

your loss pattern is just like mine,and after previous HT with about the same # of grafts as you mine was also thin and see-thru.You will see a little growth but more thickening of hair shaft which can make a vast improvement.Like me,you seem to be NW5A and now after researching I know now that i should have gotten in 4500-5000 range to begin with.

Only 3 more weeks until my last HT with Dr Hasson,can't wait.

Good luck

That would have ben Mr. JB's 10 commandments, which were spot on.hey Bill can you find the link?

Yes,you should see a thickening of the grafts,they wont be so wispy.When i was at 7 months the difference at 10-11 months was very apparent.I was a slow grower.Give it some time you are only 60% now.

For mine I did both HT's before thanksgiving and took some time off to go deer hunting so i was away from work for about 10-14 days and when i returned to work my recipient area was already healing well,That and the fact i can wear a hat at work provided no issues for me.

I have often wondered about the people who cant wear a hat,what they have actually done for some kind of concealment.

Sagaboy congradulations,

You picked a great Dr,So now all you have to do is relax for a couple of weeks and stay away from the mirror for a few months.
