Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 13, 2019 Administrators Share Posted March 13, 2019 This topic was recently brought up again. I had created a thread a few months back showing my hair in abysmal conditions. Had I told the forum that the result was a failure, the entire forum would have rallied behind me claiming that the doctors head should be on a platter. The truth is, while my result is an "illusion" it is a great result. In fact, my life has been completely changed because of this result. However, it is not perfect and no one undergoing surgical hair restoration should think that they can achieve perfection.

Senior Member HLPToronto Posted March 13, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Although it's not something we would like to accept but its is the harsh reality I guess. There is no way in this world discovered yet to give you back the same dense hair like a teenager I'm going with Dr. Bhatti next week, hoping he's a master in creating this "illusion" based on my condition.

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 HLPToronto, You’ll be in great hands and I’m sure he will definitely create an excellent illusion of density for you. But even though it may not be true and density from your teenage years, if you have realistic expectations, you can be very satisfied with a hair transplant. Most people think I never lost any hair or at least only have mild thinning in the crown whereas without my procedures, I would be fully bald. So it really does work when you pick an excellent surgeon. Best, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess realistically in most cases, crowns could never achieve a good density again. Not sure why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
