Regular Member Fullness Posted December 16, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted December 16, 2013 My story so far:- Started losing hair at around 24 years of age. Had my first procedure in the UK with Dr Peter William for 1000grafts to address receding hair line, but my hair loss continued, didn't want to use medication due to side effect horrors i heard. I then discovered Nanogen fibres which worked a miracle. Started to use Dermamatch and nanogen fibres to get the best results. I am now 34 years old and feel prisoner to these cosmetic products. I will never leave home without them on. My hair loss progressed to Norwood 5a, which only my supporting wife has seen. Everyone else see Nanogen and are un-aware of the extent of my baldness. I have in recent months been asked at work and by close friend if I have dyed my scalp (Derma match)......I know....I just want to run away. Present day:- I have now had a second procedure done with Dr Hasson at Hasson & Wong to my delight for 5396 grafts! I wanted to go to the best surgeon so have been researching for last 2 years. Dr Hasson does definetly live up to his reputation. I had my original consultation with David (fantastic guy) in the UK who shared his story and experience with H&W and gave me confidence to start using propecia (no side effects so far). After consultation David recommended me to Dr Hasson who estimated 4000+ grafts (which I would have been very happy with). My pre-surgery consultation Dr Hasson saw my donor area and was impressed with density, coarseness and laxity (which I worked religiously on) and suggested to go for the mother load of 6000grafts! Very close indeed! Not only did he take out majority of my old scar but also gave me a full coverage. I am now day 3 and happy with results so far. Can't wait for these babies to start growing.

Senior Member gobble Posted December 16, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted December 16, 2013 Wow, looks great. Big numbers. You really think only your wife could tell you were using the nanogen? I'm skeptical that people would be whispering about me having stuff in my hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Fullness Posted December 16, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 16, 2013 It's more obvious near the hair line, did get the stares when in conversation. Looking forward for these grafts to grow in. Will keep the forum posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Fullness Posted January 11, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 11, 2014 Slowest month of my life. Right, the staples are out...leaving an amazing scar line, though have had shock loss on both side of the donor area. At the back the scar is more or less covered up just exposing a bit of the remaining old scar. In the recipient area, I thought I was one of the lucky ones to keep my transplanted hair, but it turn out I was a late shedder. Recipient hairs are shedding every shower about 50+ or so. They have the typical L J shape at the ends.....(goodbye my friends see you in couple of months ?). Good thing they are shedding in waves rather than all at once, give time for some of my native hair to grow back. The recipient scalp is healing well, but have had a breakout of pimples (hopefully a good sign?). Otherwise happy so far as I walk deeper into to ugly duckling stage. Meds that I am taking daily are:- finistride, multi-vitamins, MSM & Biotin. Pics below.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
