Regular Member ISO_GoodHairDay Posted October 27, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted October 27, 2003 Hello all! I have been a silent reader of this community, until today. Thanks to everyone for posting some good info. After reading enough; about the process, the doctors and individual experiences; I took the first step and got HT procedure done. Here are the details: Doctor: Dr. Robert Jones, Oakville HT method: Strip # of grafts: 3850 in one session Medication: regular pain medication and antibiotics Swelling: Little swelling in the donor area, none in the transplanted area. I am very excited and looking forward to speedy recovery and hair growth. I will post some snaps as I go thru the process of getting hairy, again! Cheers!

Regular Member ISO_GoodHairDay Posted January 28, 2004 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 28, 2004 Storage, Mr T, Whoops, bverotti, Thanks for your kind words. In fact, I was inspired to read bverotti's story before I decided to go for HT. Now, I am excited to see a new hairline emerging day by day. I am not on rogain, propecia or any other medication. I know many people prefer to use rogain for crown, but I was not sure how it is going to react with my new hair and existing hair. Plus, I know that I can't keep up with twice a day schedule. So, I am still contemplating about it. I don't like chemicals. (I hope I dont start another debate here!) I just kicked up protein in my diet a few knotches and I massage the scalp with herbal hair oil to increase the blood circulation.

Senior Member arfy Posted January 29, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted January 29, 2004 Hi ISO It looks like you will have a nice result, good for you. You still have "high sides" and that can be a big help with your appearance. If you can keep the existing hair high around the fringe, that would be a very good thing. You may want to rethink your stance on Propecia, but I know that is a personal issue and some guys do not want to use it. But I think you will be happier if you can prevent yourself from progressing to a Norwood 7. You may be able to do that with Propecia. That extra fringe you have does make a difference! Good luck no matter what you decide though. I should probably mind my own business on this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
