Hi everyone, I have just joined the forum and wanted to share my recent HT journey with everyone. I guess like a lot of like minded people on here my hair started to bother me more and more than it really should have. People always telling me that it didn't matter losing a little hair, or that in the big scheme of things it was near the bottom of the list of things that could go wrong in life. But unless you have the feelings of how badly this actually affects anyone going through it , then I think it would be hard for some people to really understand it. I was quite comfortable for many years with the amount of hair I had lost and didn't really think about it much, then I seemed to be spending more and more time checking my hair every time I looked in a mirror or caught my reflection in a window, and from then on I started to obsess a little more about it. I think at this point a lot of people make the decision to accept it and live with it, or look for a way to try and sort it out. The more I learned about transplants the more I wanted to get things sorted, for me the scariest thing was choosing the right person to sort me out. It was the fact that I would be parting with a lot of my hard earned money and that I kept reading horror stories of what could go wrong. The last thing that anyone in this position needs is for things to go backwards.
I then trawled the internet and spent a lot of time getting as much information as possible. I found this forum and spent quite a bit of time just reading all the different posts put up and pictures of peoples results, It made me realise how little I knew about the whole process and how hard this could be. I saw lots of great results on the forum which made choosing a Dr even harder. I then came across Dr Lorenzo and videos of his results and all the great feedback he was getting from his patients. I had made my mind up to try and get to see him. I then learned that he was going to be over in England at the Farjo clinic. I then contacted Mick and he arranged a meeting for me with Dr Lorenzo, this was November last year. From the time I first walked into the clinic, met Mick and then Dr Lorenzo I knew this is where I was going to be having my problem sorted. I was told I would need 2400 grafts to sort things out. I was never pushed or rushed at all into making a decision, in fact Mick told me to go away , enjoy Christmas and have a good think about things. I then talked things over with my long suffering (very understanding) partner, who has always been there for me.
I then made the very scary decision to go ahead and book a date. Mick sorted this for me which was 13 days ago. The night before was then a mixture of feeling a little guilty for spending so much money on myself, excitement at the thought of having hair again and the fear of making such a big decision. Once I was in though and spoke to Mick again and then met Dr Lorenzo once more I felt that I really had done the best thing for me. The whole procedure went quickly and smoothly, the staff at the clinic are all very professional in what they do, as for Dr Lorenzo I don't think I have come across a nicer human being in a long time. He is totally focused on what he does, and you can tell he is very passionate about his work. I was also very impressed by the fact that he did everything himself, from cutting my hair to removing the grafts and then placing them in the recipient area. This just gave me more confidence that I was in good hands. I can't thank them all enough for what they have done for me. I will post some pictures up from the day off my HT to day 10 later on. I would like to thank everyone on this forum, it really did help with my decision to go ahead.

Hi Haircules,
Welcome to the forum, I'm pleased to hear you had a great experience with Farjo clinic and Dr Lorenzo. The grafts should make a nice difference for you, you also have plenty of donor left if you decide to do it again.
Thanks for sharing tour story here.
Cheers Bm.

Thank you, this was day after HT.

































I just try to keep it in my head how things are going to be 6 months plus, and not worry about what happens till then. I'm hoping a positive attitude will help things to move along.

Been looking over the site over the past few days, there are some great results on here and I the support that is available for all of us is great. We have taken 2 sets of pictures from 15 days post HT. The first ones are a little dark taken in natural light, so we then took another set with a overhead light on. Shedding will be the next stage I think, I know I will miss my new hairline (only for a while though I hope) What do you guys think, any feedback is very appreciated.

You had a hairloss pattern that's quite unusual, the placement with the quantity of grafts will make a significant improvement, great pictures.

I started to shed some of my transplanted hairs yesterday as expected, I can not see any shock loss in the donor area up to now, which is good. I am just looking forward to the months ahead.

Pictures from day 21 post HT, a few more hairs are shedding now when I shower, just making room for my new ones I think. Most are from the top centre and crown area.
