  1. City water is as good as any designer water, if you follow the studies. You can get hit by a bus on your way to work, so a little tap water is a minor consideration. b
  2. Elliott is an old "plug-and-pay" doctor, so I'd stay away. That's from personal experience, incidentally.
  3. I had about 12, the first 10 of which were totally unsatisfactory (Straub and Bosley). However, the last two were with the follicular unit method, while the others were with the dreaded "punch-plug" method. I was particularly fortunate, since I have good scalp laxity and just enough donor hair to mask the old plugs. The last surgery was with Dr. Siporin, who made my hairline look completely natural. It's been a long journey, filled with expecatations and false promises of the first two doctors. Fortunately, the latest surgical methods saved my...scalp!
  4. I bought the foam on e-Bay, but the seller said that the dates marked on the bottles are 4/08 and 6/08. Is the medication still active, or should I get a refund? Thanks! bb

  6. Stay away from Straub! He was one of the advocates of the plug graft method, and made promise he couldn't keep. He came out of the Bosley school, followed the same "get them in the chair" philosophy, and never delivered. Take it from my personal experience. HK500 and I had very good results with Dr. Siporin. He is ethical, honest, and an excellent surgeon. What the hell; the consultation is free! bb
  7. I had Dr. Siporin do my transplant, and I was very pleased, beginning to end. bb
  8. After you do your research, then feel comfortable you made the correct choice of doctors, you should ignore the negative comments that some of the posters make here. It's your head and your hair...eventually. Hang in there! bb
  9. Maybe a "coping with self image: kind of psychological help and coping with self perception issues. I think we should do some internal transplantation, first; since there seem to be a lot more issues that precede and accompany the surgery, recovery, and self esteem issues. Anyone for aromatherapy? (That's a joke).
  10. Massage can actually loosen the scar and increase its eventual visibility. "Don't pick it, it will never heal!"
