Regular Member BorderlineHairline Posted August 24, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted August 24, 2004 Thanks for sharing that, disappointing as it may be. It should serve as a good warning to those who are considering HT, and what CAN happen given the right 'butcher'. I can safely say that that is the worst surgery I have ever seen. Good luck, and best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hairworthy Posted August 25, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted August 25, 2004 I can only concur with solid: 1. There is far worse around. A lot of us here (including myself) have been butchered by sad individuals who certainly don't deserve the term "surgeon" that you mention on your website. 2. There is hope. I strongly recommend that you have a look at Jotronic's website (jotowen.com). I think you will be able to relate to him as he pretty much looked like you and now he's become one of the ultimate HT sex symbols! 3045 FUs with Dr Victor Hasson on 8 June 2004 1836 FUs with Dr Jeffrey Epstein on 2 March 2006 Regimen: 1.25mg Proscar every other day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted August 25, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted August 25, 2004 Dear Andy, My word you have certainly been through alot! What courage and vision you have. When you have time, read up on FUE/FIT technology because it may be very possible to have those plugs "thinned out" by extracting some of the F/Us within the plugs and then having the extracted hair placed back into the recipient area. This way they may not have to be "cut" out or excised by scalpel. There is far less visible scarring in most cases especially when treating the hairline area. It is also possible to have your hairline raised with this type of technology. It is very possible that thinning or removal of the plugs will in itself not be enough to achieve your appearance goals as you probably will want more density (coverage) in the frontal area and top of your scalp. Be sure to consider this investment as well, the fact you will probably want more coverage. But I do not want to speak for you without knowing your secondary goals so I will respectfully not impose anything on you. This is your personal decision after you have done more research. When you are ready, definitely have the evaluations done in person with surgeons who specializes in repair and also proven FUE/FIT experience. Make contact with more than one doctor. In other words get more than one opinion. You appear to be a Norwood class 5a however your crown is still bearing some natural hair which may be saved through a medication called Propecia (finasteride). Look up the benefits of finasteride as well as any potential side effects on the internet. You have probably heard of minoxidil which has been available in generic form (cheaper cost). Both products are approved by the FDA for treating MPB. Possibly your hairloss in the crown are not as much of a concern to you. But if the crown loss is important to you, there are ways as I have mentioned to address that area as well. I wish you the very best in seeking solutions and thank you for being an inspiration to all of us. Take care Andy!
