[trinder]

Hi Sl,

 

Thanks for the reply, i totally agree with BHRs policy when assessing new ideas, Thanks.

[ej]

I have just returned from BHR after having 950 beard grafts placed into my mid scalp. I have attached a picture of the donor today 24 hours later, and will update with placement when I get the pictures from the clinic.

 

Many Thanks

I hope you had a good trip. Looking forward to the pics

[tacolinowest]

this is something i will be looking into when i run out or head hair, its a decent alternative

[tacolinowest]

may i ask why you didnt goto dr umar? why you chose to goto europe? i had umar in mind for when i use beard hair

[Shyguy]

I have been looking into this. I have been researching Dr. Bhatti in India for the same. I would love to go to Dr. Umar but finances are a concern right now.

Looking forward to seeing the results.

[Mickey85]

Extractions look immaculate.

Cheers Levrais, yes it was a good trip may do the euro star next time and save hanging around at the airports.

 

Hi Taco, I have not seen any of doctor Umars patients in the flesh and at my consultation, I met the BHR rep, who himself has had over 1400 extractions from the beard and has no visible marks. As a repair patient this was important to me, along with some other well documented repair cases I also saw online. Location was a factor as well, as it is only an hours flight away.

 

Below are before and after photographs. Grafts this time 950 beard. In total approximately 3800 over four procedures.

 

Many thanks for all the kind comments, thanks Mickey, I hope my thread is helpful to others.

When you run your fingers threw your hair, do you feel the difference between beard hair and scalp hair?

[ej]

Hi Taco

 

At the initial consultation it is important to assess beard donor characteristics, and if beard grafts are suitable as an alternative source of donor.

 

For some beard donor is not suitable for various reasons, I was lucky, not only to have the density I have, but also that my beard hair blends in well with my scalp hair. I am very fortunate.

 

I can not feel the difference between scalp or beard hair.

 

Regards

Good luck ej! Man what a long strange trip its been for you, look forward to updates.

Interesting , so not everyone can use beard hair, did you have to grow out ur beard to see if it was good? I never grew out mine I'm curious how it looks

[trinder]

Hi ej,

 

I'm finding it really encouraging you posting all this as, as you may remember i'm also a UK potential repair patient. ( had some removal and replacement of large punch grafts)my worst area is my donor area.

 

I've seen stephens (BHR rep ) and its exactly like i'm hoping to achieve eventually.

 

You'rs is looking great and the donor area is completely undetecable. I think we're very lucky to have dr Bissanga on our doorstep.

 

I would definitely get the train over a lot less hassle i think.

 

Do you have any pics i can see before all the beard grafts. Sorry if you've already sent them to me, i'm not too good at filing stuff......wrong generation LOL.

Hello Trinder

 

I have attached some pictures below of the scarred area. The after pictures show the area at about 16 months post op . I still have some hairs breaking the surface at 2 years post procedure.

 

The work BHR have done for me has made a huge difference in my life, I no longer avoid social events weddings, any outdoor events etc, I can stand at a bar without fear of people staring at the back of my head.

 

It is good to know something can be done.

 

All the best

You have come a very long way champ.

[Slickers]

Congrats Ej. You've been through a lot, and the improvement is incredible. Very happy for you.

[HARIRI]

Dr. Bisanga is the Number One choice for anyone considering Beard Hair FUE. EJ, You look now like a normal person who had little strip surgery. Is this the latest photo?

[Gary1911A1]

You defiantly are looking better.

[glajo]

I have had scalp hair and beard hair transplanted into my strip scar area. I even had a scar revision before that. Personally I prefer the beard hair for filling in the scar tissue area. It may take longer to grow but it is an overall thicker quality of hair and that is what I would want covering up a strip scar area. You should wait at least 2 years to see max results. Your work looks really good. Good luck and I am glad you were able to get hair and most importantly a piece of mind!!

[trinder]

Thanks for the pics ej, i know exactly what you mean about standing at a bar or in a queue situation.

 

I have to cut my hair down to a no2 grade at the back because my hair is so fine. I would say my donor scars (large punches and linear scars) have a little bit more hair in between and my hair is quite light lucky enough so that does help, but its obvious somethings been done as its so patchy.

 

As i said i'm not too good with pcs, so when i get shown how, i'll post some pics.

 

Would you be able to give me some idea of what it cost you? Maybe you could try Pm me again. I don't know what went wrong the other day with receiving mails, but i'm getting them now.

 

Thanks for the help ej.

Below are some photographs taken before any repair, then an attempted repair, then at initial consultation with BHR before any repair with them, then three years after 1000 beard grafts into the left hand side scarring.

 

I thought I would include a couple of pictures showing the effects of side weighting the grafts, from left to right in my case, and the effects this has when styling your hair to your advantage.

 

 

I had a cut last week and this is the shortest I have been able to go to in 20 years!

 

All the best and take care

What an amazing read. I'm ecstatic for you that you've come so far and are making the best of a difficult situation, but part of me can't help but be angry at the surgeon who disfigured your scalp. Wishing you the best in your recovery from this experience, both cosmetically and mentally. Must have been exhausting.

[Mickey85]

Am really happy for you ej, you have been through a hell of alot and I'm glad you have been treated well and repaired by a great surgeon and human being that is Dr Bisanga!

[ej]

Thanks for the support since and mickey.

 

It has certainly been a very draining experience. I do feel a lot better about my scarring, no more strangers walking up to me in a bar asking `what has happened to my head`.

 

Below are a couple of pictures of my beard donor, as you can see I can probably tap into a few thousand more!

 

Thanks for the support it is much appreciated.

Thanks ejj for updating. After 3,800 FU out of the beard it still looks good and more to come. Some would be fortunate to get this out the their scalp let alone the beard so has been a good source for you for sure and as said we will tap into it again.
