Senior Member notgoing2gobald Posted February 25, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 25, 2008 From what I can see it looks fantastic! how short is that hair clipped? Im gonna watch you on the big screen through my apple tv.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TomA Posted February 25, 2008 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 25, 2008 The hair is clipped at #5 two days prior. I wish I could get the higher res version up somewhere. You still can't see any scar line, but it's even more impressive because it's more clear and larger. Youtube shrunk it and seems to have compressed it some. -- 1st HT with Dr. Damkerng Pathomvanich, Bangkok, Thailand - 18 JUL 07 - 3300 grafts (FUT) - US$6,930 2st HT with Dr. Pathuri Madhu, Hyderabad, India - 31 JUL 10 - 2249 grafts (FUT) - US$2,200 3rd HT with Dr. Pathuri Madhu, Hyderabad, India - 26 JUL 11 - 320 grafts (FUE) touch up - US$0 My Hair Loss Weblog My opinions are my own.

Senior Member Dewayne Posted February 25, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted February 25, 2008 TomA: Do you live in that part of the world? If not, what made you go there if you don't mind me asking? I'm sure they are top notch, but for me if I lived in a certain place I would want my surgeon close enough that I could be to him in a day, in case I needed to strangle him or something! 100?

Senior Member TomA Posted February 26, 2008 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 26, 2008 LOL... No, but I work in Asia every summer and spend most of the summer there. I went there because he has a great reputation as perhaps the best doc in Asia (he does most of the TV personalities over there) and because he charges about $2.10 per graft.

Senior Member TomA Posted March 4, 2008 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 4, 2008 Thank you for all of the comments! Yes, several people have made comments on it, but they either think: 1. I lost weight or 2. I dyed my hair. (uh, Joe, I had no hair... remember?) It's obviously not a toupee, and people can't figure out that it is a transplant. I think they just don't have a mental schema for hair growing back once it's gone, so their mind picks up something familiar to account for the difference (like the above).

Senior Member TomA Posted March 6, 2008 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 6, 2008 Thanks Jason, No problem... I hadn't really thought of it as a "hard time" or anything. Just glad everyone prodded me to do a lot of research. I had considered a different, (and cheaper) doc in Thailand before I came here and learned that not all docs are the same. Now I want to go back next summer and have him do the crown... coz I've still got a "B spot" bothering me!
