GreenLink Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 After years of debating if I would go through with having a hair transplant performed, tring other non surgical methods I have scheduled my first surgery with Dr. Michael Beehner for early August. I am having 1500 all FU grafts transplanted and 200 FUE . Very excited for it considering I have been losing my hair since I was 19 and was fully bald on top by 21 with a NW5a or NW6. Will keep you all posted how it goes, wish me luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member chrisdav Posted July 5, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 5, 2012 Congratulation Greenlink and keep us posted. 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK. Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenLink Posted July 5, 2012 Author Share Posted July 5, 2012 Thanks all . Dr. Beehner is advising in total 2 or 3 surgeries total to get a natural look. Not currently taking any meds. This decission took years of thought and I finally found a surgeon who I have great confidence in. I will keep you all posted and upload pics before and after my first surgery.

Senior Member Spanker Posted July 5, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 5, 2012 Good luck. Is there a reason to start so small as far a graft number?

GreenLink Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 I have now been through my first hair transplant surgery now =). Dr. Beehner raised the graft count to 2343 grafts and I am now using GraftCyte for healing. The surgical team was very friendly and did a terrific job. I'll post up pics soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
