Senior Member HARIRI Posted June 18, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted June 18, 2011 Dr. Pong of Thai Hair Clinic from Chiangmai is the biggest competitor to Dr. Path in hair restoration field in Thailand. I may say locally, he is the number one choice in Thailand, thats what I found out when I visited Thailand last year and started asking about HT doctors. Dr. Pong work and prices are excellent plus he has this clause in his website "GUARANTEED RESULTS We take great pride in our work and strive to ensure patients complete satisfactions with their hair transplant results. We assure all of our patients that each grafted hair will grow in otherwise it will be replaced FREE OF CHARGE on their next hair transplant sessions.

Regular Member jimmybald Posted June 22, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 22, 2011 I will post picks at the 6 month mark, a little over a month from now. As of now I am very happy with my right side but my left side is severely lacking behind. I am concerned that it can't possibly catch up. There are no new hairs sprouting and looks about the same as it did at 3 and 1/2 moths to be honest. See you at 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Rachmunas4life Posted August 3, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'd love to see updated photos! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member AnthonySC Posted December 17, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted December 17, 2011 From the pictures, which aren't the greatest quality, your hairline looks really good. Huge difference from before pictures. I cannot see the difference in density between both temple regions due to the quality of the photographs. About the crown: I personally never cared about the crown at all....I mean nobody looking at your face in person or pictures is ever going to see it. Just use the meds if you can tolerate them well. If you are experiencing no sides from the finasteride and you have tried it for 1-2 years and are still losing ground, then consider going back to your doctor and asking for dutasteride/Avodart. There are natural balding patterns that start from the crown and work toward the hairline so if you only were to transplant the frontal 1/2 to 2/3 it would still look natural.

Regular Member jimmybald Posted December 19, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 19, 2011 Over 100 views since the update and one reply. I would love some advice from the guys that have been here awhile and can tell me honestly what they think I should do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member lukeyb1687 Posted December 20, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted December 20, 2011 Personally I would attack the crown next...however that's just me personally. It really is down to you and how you feel about it. If you don't like it change it I think with the Fin and Minox it should be nice, stable and full within a year or so. I would try out the meds first and then assess your situation next year this time. 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted December 20, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted December 20, 2011 jimmy, This is a tough call. Do you feel that finasteride and minoxidil have effectively stabilized your hair loss? I'd be a lot more confident about addressing the crown if you were about 10 years older.

Regular Member jimmybald Posted December 21, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) Thanks for the few replies I did receive. I would really like to fix the crown but I am concerned about the future as will all know what could possibly happen. Sometimes I think I should just be satisfied with my front looking alright and try to forget about the back for now. Easier said than done. I'm not sure the hair has stabalized or not, and I'm not really sure how to tell. It hasn't gotten any worse from the inital loss I had before I started treatments. Actually it got better only to go back to baseline and then better again.. and now, once again ,worse, where it is now... confusing I know I still lose quite a bit of hair when washing and brushing so maybe it hasn't stabalized.. but I've heard time and again that you shouldn't count hairs.. it could be normal shedding and so on.. Anyways I'm rambling, I'm just really at a loss on what to do at this point.. Edited December 21, 2011 by jimmybald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
