Guest Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hello forum readers and posters, Been reading the forums a long time and thought it about time I join to share my story with my fast approaching my repair with Dr Feller. I had a very poor surgery done in the UK about 2 years ago and it has left me in a very unfortunate situation. I now live under a hat and have lost the majority of my friends because I never go out or dare let anyone into my situation as have been so embarrassed to do so. I had a transplant naively with the Hospital Group here in England and was basically left with the infamous transplant that this so called clinic offers, a disaster! You can see from my pictures the poor attempted made and the situation I have been left with now thanks to these con men. I do not want to dwell on the past but look to the future which is why I am posting now as my repair with Dr Feller is in November and I hope it is the start of a new life for me. I have spent 2 years researching and have had chance to meet a number of people who have helped me along the way, most of all Spex. Spex help has been amazing and I can only thank him for such generosity and patience with me over the past year. I am having surgery on the 7th November and now can't wait as for me its been a tough couple of years and I am now very much looking forward to getting my life back. I will keep you informed after the surgery and more than happy to have my pictures shown here to help. I really hope everyone considering a transplant gets the opportunity to research first and not be tricked as I was. Thanks for reading and happy to receive any help and guidance from here on in.

Brooklyn Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Man, Dr. Feller is going to fix that head up 1, 2, 3. No problem at all. Your crown is fine. That hairline area is going to be spectacular in 12 months. I wish I was in your position (hair-wise) going in to a Feller HT. I can already imagine the results on you.

Senior Member HairDew Posted September 11, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2008 I agree, Dr. Feller will fix you up and in the next year it will feel like a bad dream. You have plenty of hair so I'm sure you will be pretty much hairlossLESS (if there is such word lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Thanks for the feedback. I have done a great deal of research and I feel confident in Dr Feller and his abilities. I can cut my hair on a grade 8 without the scar showing. The scar is not really my main concern. My main anxiety is the growth in the temples. I hope it can be hidden or removed. Looking at it makes me feel sick to the stomach so i tend to keep my hat on pretty much all the time. PhilUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member uncjim Posted September 12, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2008 Phil, From one repair patient to another... Welcome Home. This terrible 2 year period will fade into memory for you, I'm sure. Don't stray too far from the support group. Patience (especially the first 2 months) is hard to muster for most.

Regular Member DeDom Posted September 13, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hi PhilUK, Congrats! From what I have seen Feller is a really great surgeon. One of the Top5 in the world. In 12-14 months you will throw away your hat. :-) Good luck to you and keep us updated! I'll have my procedure with Dr. Rahal on november 3rd. I can hardly wait... Spex, is Feller able to remove the old scar and do tricophytic closure? How wide is the scar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member richie48 Posted September 16, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted September 16, 2008 hey philuk I'm from the UK and had 2100 crown grafts with Dr Feller in nov 2007 . I hate reading about how young guys have been mis-led and had there vunrable insecurities abuse by these poor UK clinics . We see this time and time again on many forums , we must be vigilant and try to stop this practice happening . I helped a recent newbie in the UK , who had mini grafts in his crown only 18 months ago ! This guy is now booked with Dr Feller for a repair in January 2009 . Phil , you are in safe hands with one of the worlds best doctors , you have nothing to worry about and will inevitably get you life back on track . TOP RESEARCH = TOP DOC = TOP RESULTS , it's that simple Good luck richie 2100 crown grafts Dr Feller nov 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I hope to burn the hat as quick as possible. Thanks for the much needed support. Many forum memebers here are really helpful. Your crown looks really good richie, do you think you have more to come ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member FenderPlayer Posted September 17, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted September 17, 2008 PhilUK, You've chosen a great doc. Judging from his other repair results posted, youll end up with a great result as well. If you're interested exactly how your day will go with Dr. Feller, myself as well as many others have posted reviews of him with a rundown of how the day went. I know reading those helped put my mind at ease at least. Good luck with your upcoming surgery.

Guest Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Thanks FenderPlayer.

Senior Member richie48 Posted September 23, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hey phil uk sorry for the late reply to your question , been away racing at cadwell park , Doc Feller did say it would take up to 18 months to mature and see the full benifits , mathmatically he densly packed my crown with over 60 grafts per cm squared , this was done with the express intension of mathing my exsisting hair density as best we could . I do like to wear my hair longer , out of bed style , so density matters alot , i have very good donor which was checked by Dr Feller with concerns over future loss , I even had pics of my fathers situ to help gauge as accuratly as poss .
