Senior Member LondonHTseeker Posted October 7, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Dr Youngblood mFUE scarring is FUE-like scarring! That's not to say it's the same as FUE scarring, just similar. I'm not being disingenuous, I wouldn't do that! I care passionately about ethics and the last thing I'm going to do is mislead anyone! I think this is a really exciting development which, together with our Strip-out philosophy, will have a synergistic effect on driving up our reputation and forum presence! Just um... don't cut your hair as short as you would expect to with FUE or the mFUE scars could show more easily.

Senior Member newbie33 Posted October 7, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 7, 2015 There's a theme emerging with yours, LondonHT! Serious question - what made you depart from Dr Feller for your fourth procedure? Presumably, you researched and didn't land on him by luck for the first three HTs, which begs my second question: how come for the fourth you ended up with a doctor whose name you didn't/don't even know?

Serious question - what made you depart from Dr Feller for your fourth procedure? Presumably, you researched and didn't land on him by luck for the first three HTs, which begs my second question: how come for the fourth you ended up with a doctor whose name you didn't/don't even know? I went to Dr Feller for the second HT because while the first had grown well I wanted it lower. The second didn't grow thickly, but I ignored the poor growth by brushing it down on the front. I didn't really think about it because my hair was thick otherwise. So it took years to get back to Dr Feller for an explanation. Then he screwed me around by being disingenuous on here, giving me phoney explanations for the result (which is why I felt entitled to a free procedure when the offer materialised). Anyway, I did go back to him for a small procedure because I was going over there for a trip. I had that small procedure - the third - and realised I should have got a bigger one. So I decided to get an FUE in Turkey at 6 months after the third op. Someone on here posted his result with Dr Eser ...something... and it looked great. Then someone else went over and I communicated with them, asking if Dr Eser operated on them and if it went well. They replied yes, although I later learnt they had misunderstood me and they got Eser's assistant. So, with it being a great price, I went for it. When I got there it turned out her assistant doctor was doing it instead. Growth was pretty good though, so it wasn't too bad an experience other than them over-thinning the donor area a bit. There you go. No comedy material there, sorry! Edited October 7, 2015 by LondonHTseeker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member newbie33 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 8, 2015 I could have a bash at turning it into a joke. But you probably wouldn't thank me. Thanks for the answer. Another cautionary tale in the rather murky world of hair transplants.

Senior Member LondonHTseeker Posted October 8, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) I'm impulsive and don't like agonising over decisions. I know there are a lot of anal retentives on here who plan their transplant to the Nth degree down to their colour of underwear on the big day but for better or worse that's not my style. At the time I was checking the forum for Turkish FUE names she was the cheapest one coming up with a good result: it was a risk I was prepared to take. I don't regret it, it worked out. I have my hair longer now I'm older and the donor thinning doesn't bother me much at all. In my opinion, it's not a cautionary tale so much as the reality of going for something on a tight budget at short notice. Essentially, it worked out. You can try with the satire if you want. I doubt you can do it convincingly. No doubt a few people here would queue up to proclaim your success and prove me wrong, your choice.

Senior Member newbie33 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 8, 2015 I'm not going to turn it into a joke. That's not why I asked. Besides, the 'jokes' were all rather affectionate leg-pulling. For me, planning a HT with one doctor but it being performed by another is definitely a cautionary tale. I would be pretty miffed if I was put into that situation. But then I'm probably higher up the anally-retentive scale when it comes to this :-) (Navy boxers from John Lewis, should you be wondering).

Senior Member LondonHTseeker Posted October 9, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted October 9, 2015 Yeah, you have a point about the assistant doctor thing being a cautionary tale. I never mentioned an assistant and neither did they. I asked for surgery with Dr Eser, they said sure. I saw Dr Eser on the day before surgery, no mention she wouldn't be doing it. Then, on the day the assistant turned up. I guess Dr Eser would have been more expensive. Why they did it like that, I don't know. No clear answers from them after the event. And during surgery they were chatting away like they were in a bar! I wasn't pleased. Must be some comedy material there I guess. Navy boxers from John Lewis eh? Very posh. My socks and boxers are from Tesco. Ha. So what other characters are there to lampoon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member newbie33 Posted October 11, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 11, 2015 There's always more because, you know, the human condition. But if I kept trying more I'd get specific and would start to target individuals, which I don't really want to do*, because we can all be stupid, impatient, greedy, mistaken, want to believe in wishful thinking, and think we know more than we do. The joke posts all basically boil down to some universal human vices. *(Except for YngDrReasonable, who was based on Blake, and done entirely out of admiration at his continued reasonableness) That said... ImPatient18 19:03:01s So Dr Unheard-Off suggested 1900 grafts, while Dr Mostly-Titjobs suggested 1950 grafts. Why the difference? ImPatient18 19:03:59s Really? No one?

Senior Member Stig Posted October 12, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted October 12, 2015 Yeah, ... House of Cards: Frank Underwood to Dr GoodFella - Dr, thank you so much for offering me a free MFUE procedure. You are a brilliant surgeon and an absolutely brilliant man. I am eternally grateful for you and think you are the absolute best surgeon in the world. You are not just my Dr, but consider yourself my best friend. Sidebar - Frank turns to the camera and says - "This man is dispicable. I absolutely can't stand him. He just makes me sick. The only reason I have to be nice to him is because he has something I need. Once I am done with the free MFUE, I will spit him out like the piece of garbage he is." Dr GoodFella to Frank - Thank you for your kind words Frank, unfortunately I am unable to perform a MFUE on you and will have to withdraw the offer. The reason is because you had a previous FUE procedure and it absolutely raped your donar supply. FUT is always better than FUE. One should always get FUT, but you never listened to me - you went and got FUE, now you are going to be eternally ruined. I can't help you anymore. FUT is king, and I am always right. Frank Underwood to Dr GoodFella - Who do you think you are. Do you know who I am? I have more power than you can ever imagine. I think you are nothing and I will destroy you. I am going to make you regret the day you ever told me that one only needs to wait 6 months after a HT procedure for a 2nd one, whilst you told Shampoo that one needs to wait 8 months.

Senior Member newbie33 Posted October 15, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) RelateCounsellor I've been going out with a girl for five years who says she likes my bald cue-ball head and really values our honest relationship. Yet I'm booked in to get 6,000 grafts with Dr Ressembler Toupe. Do you complete strangers think I should tell her I'm getting HT? Or, my preference, should I lie and tell her an entirely unbelievable story after the op about being beaten up and the trauma causing my hair to slowly regrow, thus ruining the trust and intimacy we've build up and marking the steady demise of my one chance at true love?

Thus, I started losing my hair after the tragic, sudden and massively traumatic loss of my favourite 'Touch Me Elmo' rucksack / evil capitalist multi-nationals putting some special chemical in hair gel which means those men with great hair go bald / due to a rare illness affecting only black women in sub-Saharan Africa that has somehow crossed genotypes, continents and prognosis...

Senior Member newbie33 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 19, 2015 Ad I'm going to make point A, probably in a weird, round about sort of way and then leave it there - hanging like a malodorous fart - waiting for someone to walk right into it, before hitting them with various personal attacks. And yo Mama, she so fat, she's at serious risk of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes and a range of other life-limiting illnesses... Infinitum Well, I totally refute point A. And we'll be going back and forth like this for the rest of time, getting ever more personal and away from whatever point A was in the first place, if indeed it ever had a point. Well yo Mama, she is so fat that your father doesn't find her physically attractive anymore and it's putting a serious strain on both their physical and emotional relationship...
