Senior Member MusoInOz Posted July 11, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted July 11, 2012 Good evening Gents! (or afternoon/morning depending on your current location) I have not posted on the forum in over a year, I must admit I grew tired of certain negativity floating around on the forum etc however I purchased some tools and built a bridge. I kind of posted non stop up until my HT with Dr Rahal in June 2011 so do the math (carry the 7) it has been 13 months since surgery. I wont go into those details yet I have a year worth of photos to put up as evidence that a HT can be an amazing transformation. I have learnt so so much over the past two years regarding this subject, I believed I would never be a slave to hair greed...well, I am human and I am greedy. My transformation was basically the exact result I thought i would get not what I wished for, this attribute can be thanked by countless hours of research and understanding the limits of HT surgery. I thank this forum for almost everyhting I have come to learn. During my hiatus I also assisted many other Aussie men with their general questions (apologies if I have not resturned email, backed up over here) I believe i have saved many from failure such as heading to Ashley and Martin or the dreaded Advanced Hair. Helping others and paying it forward is the least I can do. I am back on the forum to further research and check out everyones progress from last year, I am extremely excited about this. I am still taking all of the same medication so I best updated the time frames. I have orderd name brand Dutasteride aka Avodart 0.5mg 30 pack. I have been on Fin for long enough to understand the risks of side effects etc, my crown has thinned slight over the past 12 months thus I have opted for this change in medication. I will provide photos and a proper write up as promised over a year ago, giove me until the weeke perhaps. I intend on returning to the chair mid 2013, my surgeon it TBA...Dr Rahal is a fantastic surgeon and my hair line is amazing, I believe each surgeon or clinic has strenghts and weakness though. I would like to get the best out of the right clinic for me each surgery I undertake. Initially my hairline bothered me so it boiled down to Shapiro or Rahal. I am concerned about the vertex/mid section and quite possibly those clinic would still do a great job yet I will further research. It may come to pass that I am back in Rahals chair again...who knows. Anyway, I thought saying "Hi" before jumping back into posts would be the nice thing to do! Enjoy! Mike. PS Excuse my grammar I have not slept in 36 hours. "The road to success is always under construction" :cool: I represent Dr Rahal and the associated clinic as a paid patient advisor. I am also here to assist fellow Australian/NZ Hair Loss sufferers both on and off the forum. Contact: mbhounslow@gmail.com - Mike.
