Senior Member chrisdav Posted September 9, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted September 9, 2012 Very impressive for 4 months. 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...

Senior Member Postdoc Posted September 10, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 10, 2012 Many thanks for all your nice comments - much appreciated. Having the HT really has been one of the best things I've ever done and I can see why so many talk about it being life-changing. In my case, throwing away the hairpiece (in fact, tearing it up into little pieces and then ceremoniously burning it...) after so many years of 're-grooms' is positively liberating.

Regular Member redman Posted September 11, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 That's unbelievable for 4 months. Congratulations. I had a near identical number of grafts with Dr Hasson only a couple of weeks after you and my hair is still thinner than it was pre op. Looks like your donor hair is pretty coarse so I'm guessing that's really helped with the growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Postdoc Posted September 11, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thanks, Redman. I was taking dutasteride pre-op and have continued post-op, which may have helped. I also started using minoxidil from day 5. Another possible factor is that I developed quite marked erythema when Dr Hasson was making the incisions for the grafts. Although he seemed a bit spooked by this, it may have actually helped with the vascularisation of the grafts.

Regular Member redman Posted September 11, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 Well looks like you're in for a fantastic result! Am I right in thinking you are UK based also? How are you finding dut? Any side effects - did you take finasteride prior to that? I also see you have been using nizoral post op..have you not had any irritation using it so soon after your op?

Senior Member Postdoc Posted September 11, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 Well looks like you're in for a fantastic result! Am I right in thinking you are UK based also? How are you finding dut? Any side effects - did you take finasteride prior to that? I also see you have been using nizoral post op..have you not had any irritation using it so soon after your op? Yes, I'm in London. Dutasteride has been OK apart from the usual problem of reduced ejaculatory volume; libido unaffected, though. I've been on it for just over 2 years and I guess the difficulty is knowing when to stop it or reduce to 0.5 mg every other day. I did try finasteride briefly a few years ago but was put off it by the same side effect as with dutasteride. I didn't get any irritation with the Nizoral but it tends to dry out the hair; I'm just using it once a week now.

Senior Member Postdoc Posted September 11, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 Results are really awesome ... How was your shock loss Shock loss wasn't too bad despite a 35 cm strip being excised. Healing was pretty straightforward and the scar is very fine.
