Regular Member dbk20032002 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi Folks Thanks for all of your comments on my recent post and appreciated for letting me know my mystake.I too knew that it takes around 12 months to see the outcome of the HT but some how i lost patience now i realzed that its my mistake. I contacted epstein after doing a lot of re search, he too understood that i am from india and taken less amount when compared to his normal charge. I will post my pics soon about my ht.Its the time 2 wait and see the result of the game...no one can say the result of the game in middle.Saying frankly...i felt that left side is having considerable growth and right side it is little bit slow when compared to right hand side.After looking at couple of posts, i realized that it is common...and nothing 2 worry. Once again thanks for epstein work and his team..all the above commets are from my heart. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me he looked to have a slight case of Downs Syndrome. I was heartbroken to find the young boy can't operate his legs either and when on the floor he has to sort of scoot around with his legs not really crossed, but sort of indian style nonetheless. I'm sure this boy will have struggles forever, but perhaps he might beat the odds and do some awesome things in his life. You can't let a bad hair job get you that down. Especially when there's probably a chance for correction. Here's your chance, man; time to rise up and be strong! 100?

Regular Member kevkristy Posted April 2, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hi DBK I feel for you... I'm in the exact same situation. What was your outcome with Epstein. I'd be curious as to what he said, what he's proposing. Check out my link below. I am at 6 months and have ZERO growth. http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/showthread.php?t=148177 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wanthairs Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 dbpk at 7 months after my operation with Epstein I had hardly any growth. I am 11 months out now and it looks very good. I will definately need another 2 procedures to wrap things up but want to wait about 18 months in between procedures. I also had irregular growth, one side growing faster than other and so on. I was very depressed at the 6 month mark. Just wait, be patient and hopefully you will be as pleased as i am now. My life has totally turned around, and I owe it to the hair transplant. Most likely I will go back to Epstien for the rest of my procedures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member M_D Posted April 3, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted April 3, 2008 Erm...... Bill can we leave out generic racial (and racist)stereotypes on this forum? I find the comments by transplant_dude highly offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member the B spot Posted April 3, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted April 3, 2008 M_D, I don't find the comments to be racist. The comments are generalizations that some may or may not agree with, but let's not start swinging the racism sword because someone makes a personal observation. There are plenty of other sites that are set up for those issues. Perhaps simply asking Tranplantdude to clarify his statements or inquire as to what he is basing his information on would be a good place to start?

Regular Member M_D Posted April 3, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted April 3, 2008 B Spot. Of course you wouldn`t find these comments derogatory - you are NOT indian. I am. I, along with others, am here to listen and to share my HT experience with others not to listen to generalizations about my race. When you make a generalization about a race - it is, by definition ``racism``. Whether one agrees or not is immaterial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member the B spot Posted April 3, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted April 3, 2008 Sorry you feel that way M_D-- I don't have to be part of any particular racial classification to comment on or identify racism---your exclusion of my view because I am not Indian seems to infer that. Anyway, I am sorry you feel slighted.... I didn't see anything racist, nor am I trying to tell you what to feel---just an opinion my friend.

Senior Member MORE_HAIR Posted April 3, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted April 3, 2008 If a belief or difference is pointed out among a different race it's not racism. If that difference is used to try to show a certain race is superior...then it is racism. Yes... the "race card" is thrown around today very easily....it's getting old and hurting people that really are victims. MH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 M_D, Firstly, I am sorry that you are offended by transplant_dude's comments. I do not believe however, that he meant any harm by it and there is nothing that I find deragatory about it. I agree with Jason that asking him for clarification would be a good starting point. Let me clarify... I think perhaps he is trying to say that a typical hair loss pattern in those from India and Pakistan are a bit different, and many patients keep their youthful hairline while balding from the back. Therefore, I would tend to agree that the expectations of different races vary and what is "natural" for one race may not be for another, hence, different goals and expectations. There is nothing deragatory about this in my opinion. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member M_D Posted April 4, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted April 4, 2008 Jason / Bill I can accept both your points of view. The original post by TD sounded derogatory. Perhaps I am just a little too sensitive to this kind of stuff. And wish i DID keep my youthful hairline Bill unfortunatley MPB hit me everywhere front, back and top!

Senior Member chucky Posted April 4, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hi dbk20032002 Glad your mind has been put to rest at present by your doctor and i hope you get a great result in the months to come Grow well mate. 2 x strip ht`s with Norton,very poor results 1 x fue ht with DHI,very poor result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 M_D, We are all a little sensitive about certain things in life bro and race, religion, physical appearance, etc. can certainly be some of them. So I understand. Don't sweat it And regarding hair loss and a youthful hairline, I understand how you feel. I decided to keep a relatively youthful hairline as I went in for my surgery. Of course, as a result, some added hair density was sacrificed, but overall, I am happy with my decision. Best wishes my friend, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HairDew Posted April 4, 2008 Senior Member Share Posted April 4, 2008 M_D I think (if I can read it correctly) he means that more in a cultural way. Not really a race in general. If you look at different countries, the hair styles may vary dramatically. Having said that, I've worked with many Indian people (computer programmers and really good ones) they do tend to have a lower hairline in general, most likely it's genetic. So when you start balding and your hairline start to come up, you tend to want a lower hairline like the rest of the guys/gals. So I too think tranplant_dude most likely had exactly that in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member kevkristy Posted April 8, 2008 Regular Member Share Posted April 8, 2008 DBK Two full months have passed since your posting. I know many suggested you wait it out, including Dr Epstein. So I'm wondering where you stand now -- 9 months post op? Have you had any further growth? Have you been in touch with Epstein? Your feedback would be appreciated. KK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
