Regular Member castlerock Posted August 9, 2011 Regular Member Share Posted August 9, 2011 I spent about a year researching various options and eventually decided that Dr Lindsey had the reputation and respect I was looking for. Spex organised a consultancy day in London in June, where I spent time with both Dr Lindsey and Spex receiving a consultaton, as well as some really useful practical advice. 4 weeks later I travelled to Washington and had the op. Throughout the whole process leading up to the day itself, Dr Lindsey was in constant communication with me, constantly advising me. The day itself started at 07:30 and I was finished by 13:30. Dr Lindsey and his team did everything to make me feel at ease, keeping things very infomal but very professional. I was totally relaxed throughout (and even nodded off a few times!). The final count came in at 2776 grafts, which I was thrilled about. The days after the surgery, I didn't really feel much pain, just discomfort mainly when I was in bed. Once again, Dr Lindsey kept up the communication, always instigated by him, asking how I was doing and offering advice and reassurance. Its now been 10 days since the op and I couldn't be happier. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr Lindsey with anyone considering a HT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member castlerock Posted September 6, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 6, 2011 Here are the latest photos I took. It's now been 5 weeks since my op and everything seems to be going well. The scar seems to be healing really well; I actually have trouble finding it with touch alone and have to use 2 mirrors. (photo's a bit blurry, hope you can make it out ok). The recipient area has lost most of it's new hair as predicted, so I'm settling down to the wait before I see some new growth begin, early next year hopefully.

Regular Member castlerock Posted September 9, 2011 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 9, 2011 Just had my first hair cut since the op. The hairdresser wouldn't stop gushing about how neat the scar is and how she would never have noticed it if I hadn't mentioned it first. Even after I told her she said she could barely see it. Its not even been 6 weeks yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member castlerock Posted January 3, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 3, 2012 Happy New Year everyone. I've now reached my 5 month milestone and things are looking good. Growth started around 2 months ago when I was at roughly 3 months and has been consistently continuing ever since, so I think I'm slightly ahead of schedule. I'm still covering the recipient area with my existing hair, but at this rate I think I'll be ready to reveal all by spring or early summer! Can't wait!

Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted January 4, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks for the update. Feel free to email me pics if you want too. I'd asked Spex when he was over a few weeks ago if he'd heard from you, so I'm particularly happy that you posted this update. I think you are on schedule and I bet that by the Olympics, you'll have a good deal of hair. Thanks Dr. Lindsey McLean VA William H.
