Regular Member AndersUK Posted June 16, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted June 16, 2006 Hi Everyone I havent been to this forum for around 6 months now. Its just stops being a priority after you have hair again. I posted a series of pictures after the procedure and now I just want to tell you that I am amazed at the results I got out of all my research, travels and money. Original posting I dont have the dense head of hair that I had in my teens and early twenties, but its pretty good for a guys turning 34 this month, and whats better, its seems to be staying. Its probably quite normal for HT patients to go through some anxiety of one day realising that the ride is over and the hair only grew back once. But the density remains the same and nobody, not even hairdressers, knows what been going on. The picture isnt super clear, but its taken at a dinner and I'm telling you, thats how it looks in the mirror! So once again, I have to thank Dr Epstein, his superb crew and this forum for being there for me. /Anders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member SV_08 Posted June 16, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted June 16, 2006 anders, first let me say congrats-- ur hair looks awesome man... second, i read in ur original posting that if ur suture still hurts while the stitches are in, that means they arent ready to come out? I am 8 days post op, and my entire scar/suture is still very sore, did u experience the same scenario? HT2 - March, 2013. 2933 grafts. HT1 - June, 2006. 800 grafts.

Regular Member AndersUK Posted June 16, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 16, 2006 Thanks for the kind words. I definately feel its worth it I dont remember how much the procedure was, so I cant help you there. I dont feel that one should be asking other patients about price anyway, that only amounts to heresay - ask the clinic where you plan to go. Any clinic I've heard of are happy to quote you a price. Had I remembered the price I would have told you though! I had app 1850 FUT done if I recall correctly. I dont remember how many where ones, twos and threes. I do remember that Dr. Epstein told me that he probably would be able to make a good result in one procedure and I think he was right. Most doctors will tell you how many times you need to come back if any and I personally liked that Epstein kept trying to understand how my hair looked before, because in my opinion some guys have a "signature" which means they will go with the same pattern evey time and I wanted to make sure that didnt happen. I had given a lot of thought to how I wanted it placed, not just the hairline, and we had a really nice talk about the art of doing natural work. In terms of my scar it was really itchy for a long time (months) and only in the last 3 months have I started having any sense of touch above the scar in the neck. On the sides its been no nerve damage though. Scar pictures are hard to take and as far as I can tell my scar is a bit darker than I would like it to be, but its only one year old. Its a nice scar btw, very even and without any "nooks" for lack of a better expression. Good luck with your coming hair! PS: I've included one where its a bit shorter to give you an indication of how normal it looks from the top aswell. I apologise for the bad quality of my web-camera.

Later on I've actually read that leaving sutures in to long can provoke inflamation/infection which will ofcourse not improve you chances of have a nice scar. So my firm advise to you is to go to your doctor. It might be annoying, but he wont mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member marino450 Posted June 22, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted June 22, 2006 Looks great, I dont get how you got such great density with only 1800 and some of the other transplants with 2500 or 3000 dont achieve the same results even though the starting point are very similar to yours.. Thanks for sharing the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
