Senior Member Buzz2 Posted May 20, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Hi All I thought I would give an update of where I am follwing surgery with Dr Saifi on 1st March. I am starting to see some tiny hairs along the hair line on one side which is very pleasing. Although nothing on the other side just yet. I hope this is normal ?????? It think its harder to monitor than a lot of cases as the majority of hair transplanted was in areas where I already hair hair. My scar is looking better and better each day, but I didnt expect it to be as noticeable as it was first off. I massively underestimated this!! Everyone at work knew I had a scar previously , so I was lucky enough to be able to use the excuse of having a scar reduction. Im not sure what I will say when I go to address the crown !!! Maybe I'll opt for fue. I have attached some photos for you all to view. The camera on my phone is not of good quality but I hope to invest in a new camera in the next month or so ( when I hit the 3.5 month mark) Also I appreciate that the lighting may be slightly different. The first photo will of eachwill show my pre-op state, the second post op. I Have added a second picture of my scar from the other side,which still has some shockloss. Hopefully this will return. However, I must state that I have been on Propecia for just over 9 months and I think this has really started to help in the last month or so. I think the pics show an improvement already , so Im hoping this will get a lot better over the coming months. My hair length I believe in both cases is about grade 3.5. Edited May 20, 2012 by Buzz2 Need to add comment on lighting HT No1 : Nobel clinic, Gatwick 500 grafts - Terrible result, left with bumpy skin HT No2 : Marwan Saifi 1680 grafts. Great result HT No3 - Marwan Saifi 1250 grafts. Another good result. HT No4 - Hakan Doganay 2134 grafts. Result TBA Total 5134 grafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member dingdong12 Posted May 20, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted May 20, 2012 buzz your hair is looking amazing , the difference is outstanding in before and after pics and you are only a fraction along the way in terms of things to come pleased for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Buzz2 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 20, 2012 Dingdong Thanks for your message. I think it does, but I believe Propecia and the lighting does assist a bit. To be honest when I saw the before pics from Dr Saifi I was amazed, in a bad way . I didnt realise my hair was as bad as it was. Either way , Im really pleased so far as at this grade (3.5) I can basically say that I do not have the look of having any hair loss. However, I want to be able to grow it a bot longer and have some sort of styling. Will post pictures with a lot more defintion , when I get a decent camera.

Senior Member dingdong12 Posted May 20, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted May 20, 2012 i was shocked to how my hair looked at oics taken by dr saifi, must be lighting. are you going to grow your hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Buzz2 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 21, 2012 Ideally I want it a bit shorter at the back and sides (grade 2 , if I can get away with the scar) then slighty longer on top. Just had a text from Hairtohelp2. He's at 8 months now and chuffed to bits !!!!!!!!!!!! Its just the worst thing and the most exciting thing. Waiting for things to happen !!!!!

Regular Member Sfmg Posted May 22, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted May 22, 2012 Buzz your hair looks great,iv been following ur progress and I'm very impressed with your results so far. I go for treatment with dr saifi this coming Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Buzz2 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 22, 2012 Dingdong Sorry I'm not too sure on your question. My density or Hairtohelps density?? With both I'm not sure too sure as the hair count is not mentioned. Thats the only negative I can say about Dr Saifi so far. It would be noce to know the actual number of hairs. Hairtohelp tis happy with the density. I'll ask him to update some pics for you to view. Most of the members on here have had surgery with the top docs, so its only natural that they will reply on cases performed by them. Myself, I always reply when I see something related to Dr Saifi etc. Im not saying this is the case with all memebers , and I do not mean any offence !! Also ,I would say my after pics are not of high definition , so it is hard to judge. The 2mega pixel camera will soon be a thing of the past !!! So far Im pleased, you seem pleased. Thats the main thing. HT No1 : Nobel clinic, Gatwick 500 grafts - Terrible result, left with bumpy skin HT No2 : Marwan Saifi 1680 grafts. Great result HT No3 - Marwan Saifi 1250 grafts.

Senior Member Buzz2 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 22, 2012 SFMG Good luck for Monday, Im sure you will not fault the service. Dr Saifi is a top bloke and appears to be a great surgeon. I presum you will be staying in the Art Hotel. If so the food is amazing. Keeep in touch and Id like to see the pics posted on here for all to view. Cheers HT No1 : Nobel clinic, Gatwick 500 grafts - Terrible result, left with bumpy skin HT No2 : Marwan Saifi 1680 grafts.

Senior Member Buzz2 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 23, 2012 Brilliant Thats a long stay. What are you planning on having FUE or FUT and how many grafts? I would say that the good part for me is still to come. I think a lot of mine so far is because of the meds. I have no doubt at all that it will turn out good. I am in contact with a few members on here namely Jonnyboy, Portchester Pirate , hairtohelp2 and dingdong. There are others but these are the ones I keep in touch with. All with the exception of dingdong are fully grown out and are extremly pleased with thier results. Jonnyboy had his 3rd and final treatment a month or so ago, and Porchester Pirate had his 2nd visit. Dingdong is please so far. Wroclaw is quite a nice place as well. Some cool little bars, although that will probably be the last think on your mind if you have FUT !!! Cant vouch on FUE , but I wouldnt think it to be as bad.

Senior Member Buzz2 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 28, 2012 Hi Sorry, I havent been able to get on here lately. I hope everything went well for you. I managed to have a fee beers after , but didnt feel great I must admit. Let me know how you got on as im really interested to hear on any Dr Saifi patients.

Regular Member Sfmg Posted May 31, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted May 31, 2012 Just returned from Poland from surgery with dr saifi. Went for FUT with 2000grafts and managed to get 2100 at no extra cost which is great. Dr saifi is a highly skilled and very knowledgable surgeon and I am very optimistic I will have great results. Will post some pics as soon as dr saifi forwards them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Buzz2 Posted June 2, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 2, 2012 SFMG Seems like everything went very well for you. I'm please for you. Probably a good idea to set up a new thread when you add your pics , rather than adding on to this thread. Otherwise a lot of people may not see if they are not reading this topic. Good luck with everythiing. HT No1 : Nobel clinic, Gatwick 500 grafts - Terrible result, left with bumpy skin HT No2 : Marwan Saifi 1680 grafts. Great result HT No3 - Marwan Saifi 1250 grafts.
