Thanks @Follicle. So did you have two ops with Dr. Bisanga then. Did you bother visiting any London clinics?
@Ben True!
Hi,
Yes ive had 2 with dr B now and wouldnt go anywhere else.Im not sure what standard any of the uk clinics are up to these days but back when i was doing my research the info i came across wasnt so good.Having said that some of the celebs seem to have had decent results in the uk such as wayne rooney,but im not sure which clinics they attended.
If someone is happy with their results theres no reason to shop around for a different clinic,so its all based on personal opinion,thats why i big up BHR.This is an internet forum after all and i take peoples personal opinions from personal experience over hearsay and speculation any day.
pablo- shockloss is quite common from what ive read but is not usually extreme.i cant actually tell if ive suffered any this time yet or not but i probably have.As far as time off work,i booked 2 weeks off but went back after 1.5 weeks as my donour area was no longer visible as my hair grows fast.The recipient area is still a little pink but ive told people i burnt it in the sun.obviously everyone has different healing times.last time when i had double the amount of grafts i took 2.5 weeks off and was still red after that for a couple of weeks.
You have to be prepared for some down time if looking into a HT.from my experience your head/hair will look worse for a good while before it starts looking better.You have to look at it as a long term thing really rather than a quick fix.The best thing to do (even thought its the hardest) is to try and forget about it after the surgery.let your existing hair grow back to the point it more or less covers what youve had done (in my case it takes 5 weeks to grow back to the point i can style my hair again from having being shaved) and then get on with your life.Like i said its easier said than done sometimes.
