advice needed.

[james1984]

hey...
just to start i have to say a massive thank you for this forum, talk about free counselling lessons

A little bit about myself, started losing my hair around 20, im now 28. i have been using proscar for the last 3 years and would say my hair loss has not progressed much if at all.

I have been reading/researching forums for the last 5 to 6 years and have probably researced/ put more effort into this than my degree! not good but probably true.

I currently live near Machester and have been in touch with a few Doctors who have recommended from 1500-2500 grafts to improve my frontal 3rd and hairline. All have assured me this will be no problem and donor area is fine. Now the hard part believe me im sure i have read every post, argument, pics and topics on most forums they is to know and maybe reread! so i guess i could say i have a decent enough knowledge to prepare myself

I really only want FUE...i know what we want and what we need should be taken into account but i cant bring myself round to strip even though the yield is probably always better (please no FUE/FUT arguments) read enough to last me a life time!

I want to improve my hairline/frontal density within the next year as this has affected me for to long and you only live once so why not try to be as happy as you can be i plan on traveling this summer as im a student so see this as a perfect chance to have a procedure done. budget is an issue but can be achieved with what i want hopefully.

sorry about the long email......now for the questions and hopefully some advice back from you nice chaps in the forum

Density in the front? Im being told different scales from different doctors, from 35-40 to 50-60? i like my hair short on top, about an inch long with a current hairstyle. Surely this wouldnt be achievable with density of 35-40?

BUDGET???? i know this is a no no in the hairtransplant industry but is it possible to get a Doctor like the fellers and Rahals on a budget? commitments in my life really mean i can only budget a certain amount each year

Also.. why do hair transplants not really have many styles with a fringe? i cant seem to find many styles, they all seem to be brused back

once again sorry for the long email but it is my first in a few years!

hope for some feedback guys.

Hi James,
This board, and other hair loss boards will provide you lots of information on hair transplantation and FUE hair transplantation in particular.

Frontal hairline density is in most top clinics around 50 grafts per cm2. Just remember that a non receding hairline on a person without hair loss is often about 70-90 grafts cm2.

But it is not just the amount that you should concentrate one. It is also the technical skills used to create a soft hairline and of course the artitistic skills used for hairline design. At our clinic Sabine has been doing hairline design since 2004 and she is a true expert in this field.

A good hair transplant will leave you with many hair styling options. It will be virtually unlimited to what you can do. Some styles will look more dense than others, you need to experiment a bit.

I would suggest going for more consults at our clinic and or other Belgian clinics. Most of the Belgian clinics have a great track record and provide consistantly good results.

If you want to contact us you can PM me.

Don't blame you for not wanting to do strip.

People who have HT's normally brush their hair back because they finally can without being worried about showing off a thinning hairline, a fringe would be no problem to have either.

Hi James,

I hear your story and I was like you, I stopped going out, losing my friends, but my life is great again. I have had three transplants now and I feel great.

If you like to skype I can tell you my story, show you my results and give you good advice. I have had 3 transplants, and the best thing I have ever done, but you need to go to the best.

Hope you are keeping well.

Joseph
