Senior Member Pma Posted October 28, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm not so sure about that number 47 I believe that meds only hold your native hair not regrow crowns like that I'm not denying meds help but tremendously as you stated I don't agree with that other wise is have a full crown by just been on the meds and mine not changed a bit after over a year on meds!!!!

Regular Member FueThatWasClose7 Posted October 28, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 28, 2014 Thanks guys for your positive comments, I'm thrilled with the results so far & I can't believe it hasn't even been a year since my first HT. Honestly for those considering, although costly, it does change your life and frames your face too. Ive never been happier. My dilemma now is now what style too have! What do you think? A - normal short back and side B - messy look C - comb over Haha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Pma Posted October 28, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted October 28, 2014 Fair play to you. What have friends and family said have people noticed and asked questions what have you said? I think messy by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member KO Posted October 28, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted October 28, 2014 I vote A. About meds, did you start them at the same time as surgery? Someone suggested that meds played a big role in the crown...but given that HT2 was aimed at the crown....I am skeptical that meds were the reason. 3382 FUE Lupanzula http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185463-3382-grafts-lupanzula.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member FueThatWasClose7 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 29, 2014 Fair play to you. What have friends and family said have people noticed and asked questions what have you said? I think messy by the way! It's been very difficult trying to say 'oh i decided to grow it long, rather than shaving it.' I have been open and honest with those closest to me, so they know. But i have had to delete tonnes of Facebook photos as there is no hiding place on there if people get a bit suspicious they can refer back to older pics!

Hi KO, I was on propecia for just over 2 years before I had procedure. So almost 3 years now. My hair had stabilised but no regrowth. I initially consulted with bisanga but he explained that I would not be a good candidate for HT at the time. He advised me to start on finasteride and see where I am up to in 2 years time. So I went away started on my 2 year meds but kept researching all the fue docs in the meantime. By the time my 2 years were up my decision had swung towards lorenzo out of them all. Long winded but my short answer is no. You can see my 'before' pics and the finasteride, whilst it stabilised things, the results are all lorenzo!

Senior Member Pma Posted October 29, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted October 29, 2014 Amazing nw 6 two fue procedures by lorenzo and the result speaks for itself I don't believe the meds do much to ever re grow hair, but do believe they hold native hair.

Pardon me if you have mentioned this in your other posts, but do you know what the hair caliber was in microns? In addition, do you know the average No. of hairs/graft? Lorenzo usually notes those in his videos so he may have relayed this info to you. 3382 FUE Lupanzula http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185463-3382-grafts-lupanzula.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Dave160 Posted November 19, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Always hate when active posters just stop posting. I try to stay positive and tell myself it's probably because they are so happy they don't even think about hairloss anymore. But it always makes me wonder. What you say is partly true. I'm not an active poster, but I do still browse the site. However, you are right with regards to thinking about hairloss. I can honestly say that at 10.5 months post op, I don't think about it anymore at all. I must say that there hasn't been much significant change from 8 months to now, so there hasn't really been a real reason to post any pics or updates. I will be posting my 12 month post op photos in January. Edited November 19, 2014 by Dave160 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member delancey Posted December 12, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted December 12, 2014 I can't believe that I missed this thread. It is an absolutely fantastic transformation. We have an identical hair loss pattern and the same hair color/skin tone. Would you describe your hair as medium-fine? Thanks for sharing. This gives me hope. You must be thrilled mate. BTW, I recommend style #2. I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice. All opinions and views shared are my own.

Senior Member wibbles180 Posted December 26, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted December 26, 2014 This thread has just made my decision for me , I was starting to sway towards erdogan but after reading and seeing these pictures it's lorenzo all the way !

Thank you To clarify, in Lorenzo's Madrid clinic, the protocol is totally different - technicians extract a significant amount of grafts while the doctor does do the implantations. 3382 FUE Lupanzula http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185463-3382-grafts-lupanzula.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member delancey Posted December 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted December 27, 2014 Is this pricing structure only valid during the first procedure? Or does it carry over to the second procedure? Also, KO, have you had a procedure with Dr. Lorenzo? I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice.

Senior Member FUE2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted December 27, 2014 It applies to all subsequent procedures, so a 2k procedure further down the road after your first procedure will only set you back 5k euros with the best FUE surgeon on the planet.

So in your research would it be erdogan for you ? I've had evaluations from both , lorenzo 2200 and erdogan 3000-4000 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
