Senior Member greatjob Posted July 19, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 19, 2013 TL;DR version: Crazy panicking guy gets HT and then complains frantically, then gets another HT and immediately claims it to be a complete failure and disaster - 17 days post-op. Apparently he's as clairvoyant as he is histrionic. Also, he refuses to ever post any new pictures or progress updates, so no one knows anything for sure, which is where most of the arguing and philosophical dissertation is coming from: Is the guy nuts and suffering from the dreaded Body Dysmorphic disorder? Or are his HT results really that bad? And is it politically correct to call him "crazy"? Beyond that there's just my crazed rant a few pages back, and a bunch of fervent and gratuitous ego-masturbation as several "scientists" and "artists" have a jolly ego-enhancing circle-jerk - and we're all glad there are no pictures of that. Hey I resent the fact that you put the word scientists in quotes, implying that I am somehow lying about my involvement in the scientific community, however your depiction of me being involved in some sort of ego-masterbation circle jerk is probably fairly accurate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member nathaniel Posted July 20, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 20, 2013 TL; DR - ok, thanks! 1) Othersyde, why did you go with strip rather than FUE? 2) Can you feel the first strip scar with your fingers? Your first HT outcome looked excellent btw, but I do see what you mean about the lack of density in the front. 3) Did you anticipate that the front would be lacking in density and would require you to return for a second procedure to thicken it up? If so, why not just do it all at once and be done with it? Thanks! Nathaniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, why not just do it all at once and be done with it? Thanks! Nathaniel 1. One word: Finances. Well, plus complications; I was advised that FUE generally has a slightly higher transection rate (follicles accidentally killed by being cut during the removal process), and also the fact that FUE just takes way longer than simply slicing out a big strip and handing it off to 3 or 4 assistants to dice up. If you're rich and patient, go for FUE. 2. Nope. Under my 10 Months Post-Op section, you can see that the scar is thin and light-colored, and has no bumpiness whatsoever. This may not happen for everyone though, even from the same doc; different peoples' skin has different levels of laxivity (sp?) and healing/scarring reactions. My new scar, at only 4 months, is already completely flush to my scalp, and all numbness and pain is long gone. I am a weird case though, so be forewarned: YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary). 3. Well honestly, I'd been trolling and lurking on these forums for a month or two and absorbing mass amounts of information very quickly (being an information sponge is a hobby/diversion for me - I get hooked on a Wiki like tvtropes.org or a random movie/game/fandom/whatever Wiki (Encyclopedia Dramatica and Conservapedia are always good for a laugh too) or forum and read the entire thing in a few weeks; in fact just tonight I unexpectedly spent 2 hours absorbed in a wiki I stumbled across devoted to the movie Sucker Punch - how does a movie like that even get a Wiki? Interesting, just the same). Regardless, I didn't have any real-world experience with the subject, and so I didn't really anticipate that my natural hairline would recede a few millimeters and leave only the transplanted grafts after a year or two, or that 1,775 grafts spread over my entire frontal third wouldn't really be enough to make a dense hairline. But honestly, I wouldn't have been able to afford more grafts at the time even if I had known these things, so for me it's a moot point. Also, I've heard many times on these forums that ultra-dense packing is often accomplished via two or more procedures, since the scalp skin can only have so many holes per square centimeter poked in it at a time, and you also may need to do a session and then wait to see how it pans out and what areas need more work, which could take a year or so. It's often a developmental process. Regardless, I'm happy with what I've done so far. In a few years, if my crown continues to slowly go, I'll go for a third round. If it's not too bad, I'll devote some more grafts to slightly advancing my hairline as well, or rounding out its shape. I do think my next procedure will be FUE, though, and I will definitely devote several hundred grafts to be placed in my scar to mask it further and allow me to shave down lower without issue (I have the back of my head shaved down to a 4-grade right now).

You mean so you can sit at home and play with your guitar and feel entitled, and then whine about crap like this? Don't badmouth the only thing that lets you have the freedom to get hair transplants and then whine about them, Paris Hilton. And you should have known about these kinds potential side effects, since you should have done all of this research months before going to get an HT.

Senior Member OtherSyde Posted September 9, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 9, 2013 OK, well if you hate it so much then move the hell away. And it really wouldn't be hard to use a foreign network that the US can't effectively monitor to set up a simple plan: Get some small-time weapons, smuggle them through the then-lax airline security on this certain date and time, and then start taking people hostage mid-flight. It really wouldn't have been a very hard plan to execute at that time, before everyone was all paranoid about foreign terrorist attacks. And they really didn't even need internet to do it. And FYI - whether you're somone who likes Obama or not (I'm middle-of-the-road, neither liberal nor conservative), he is trying to implement the whole health-care thing, but it's gonna take a major overhaul to get it done and it will probably be shaky and ugly for awhile until society adjusts and the bureaucrats work the bugs out of the new system. You should probably just go back to the lunatic fringe on 4chan or whatever to spew your crazy conspiracy theories. Even if one of them turned out to be true, there would never be any way to prove it, so just let it go instead of letting paranoia consume your life all the time. Otherwise you'll catch the Men In Black's attention and they'll send a silent black stealth helicoptor to kidnap you and spirit you away to Area 51 where you'll be experimentally cross-bred with alien genetics in accordance with the secret alien reptoid master race's plans for humanity.

Senior Member Britanium Posted September 10, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 10, 2013 To write off all FUE procedures because it did not live up to one persons expectations seems a massive over reaction. I believe having the choice to do either FUT or FUE is a good thing. I have had both procedures and there is no way i would have the coverage just by FUE alone. There are always going to be cases where people are not happy with either procedures. Following the posts on here it seems that people have not done enough research - or they go to some unknown surgeon whos not on the recommended list. Discovering this website is a good start ! reading up as much as possible before opting for surgery seems the best way to proceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member sudhir8702 Posted September 17, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted September 17, 2013 Hi , I am at 17th day too after HT for 800 grafts on 31st Aug 2013 I am not seeing any shock loss near the donor area but have lost quite large amount of hair native to recipient area. By any chance can i expect shock loss to stop in a week or so. Today I had my 4th hair wash and i can count 40-50 hair fall out near to recipient area. I can say that the shedding is very less compared to my previous hair wass loss and combing loss. Is that asign that soon my shock loss wil stop.Also my hairs have thinned out considerably. I am not worried about the transplanted hair( they are already sprouting and i can feel them touching) but only about existing hair. By any chance can I expect them to as before in 2 1/2 to 3 month??? Eagerly waiting for the replies. I will update on my progress on every wash.

Senior Member TheMirrorOfDreams Posted January 9, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 9, 2014 An interesting read. Say, where did the op run off to? I had my FUT hair transplant carried out on the 4th. of December 2013, at Yanhee International Hospital in Bangkok, by Dr. Prasert. I am at the moment experiencing itchiness, slight pinkess/redness, some shockloss in the surrouding area of the graft-site, as well shedding. Not a calming sight, at any rate, I take it. The incision-site is healing well, and by per today is actually quite unsightly. After what I've read, all this falls under the category "normal". Nota bene: I had 200 grafts, 3500 hairs. Presume I now find myself in the worst of all phases. Still, would like to hear from the op, before long. I use this model as a time/guidance-template (a sundry of most useful information is to be found on this very site): http://www.bernsteinmedical.com/hair-transplant/follicular-unit-extraction/procedure/after-surgery/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
