Hi

You dont need that Buddy lol, keep everything safe clean and tidy till you get them stitches out, the grafts should be fine its well over a week but protect them all like gold ,I just seen the last picture you put up and I reckon with nearly 4000 grafts your going to see a nice transformation are you using any meds at all

Cheers

would be interested to hear your thoughts on them as I haven't a clue with them

Thanks s daz

Hi Buddy

Well to be honest I have been using the minoxidil from day 15 after my surgery as thats what i was advised by the clinic , I also took advice concerning Finisteride
It has certainly helped the crown and hair is actually growing back their also my own hair seems to be a lot better , you check with your Dr and also more experienced people than me on this forum , you will get the answers its a personnl choice at the end of the day have a great day take care

Cheers

Hi Kwhelan,

Your hair transplant looks really good. I had my surgery in April with Mr Ball and was very impressed with how I was treated from start to finish by the Ziering team.

My hair is growing really well now and you feel so much confident when you see the growth after six months. I will post so more photos next month after I am due to re-visit Mr Ball and show him the diffrence.

Look forward to your future photos.

Captain

Hello Kwhelan,

Thank you for posting your story, I`m sure you`re in for a lovely transformation. May I ask why you opted for strip as opposed to fue? I looked on their website and it seems fue is only offered in California, too far away as I want to stay in London.

Thank you.

Hi Kevin. Congrats on your HT. Am sure you will have a great result in a few months time.

What are you doing now as the shedding kicks in. Are you shaving your head or just letting it go as is?

I had a procedure around the same time as you . i think im gonna buzz down whilst the growth comes in.

All the best with the growth.
Bob

Hi winters, was offered both fue and strip by zering

,decided on strip because we felt in my case with the large area that needed covering it would have been unlikely to get the high graft number3900 in my case with fue,
also would have taken between 2to3 days which was to much for me! Also as i never have my hair short the scar was not a problem (saying that have a grade 4 at mo and cant even find the scar!)
and the price was cheaper for me, hopethis is of some help to you and its worth having a consoltation with zering as they offer both, and i found tbere service first class
good luck in your quest kevin

 

[kwhelan]

Hi bob hope your well have buzzed to a grade4 at mo ,but spend a lot of time under the old enemy the hat at mo! ! Happy growing mate will be watching your grow as it devolops

All the best kevin

hey kwhelan, your hair growth looks brilliant.

i met with Tarquin today and Dr Ball is pencilled in to do my op in a months time. i am having 2500 grafts across my crown and front. I have hair at the moment, but thinning a lot on the top. A quick question - how visible was the swelling/marks?

I plan to take 5 days off work and I feel a little embarrased to tell people immediately so I am hoping by the time I go back to work (after 5 days) it will not be clearly visible that I have had the op. What were your experiences? Would really appreciate hearing.

Thanks

Hi Buddy



hope all going well and you have started your fitness plan , it surely helps nothing better than feeling great after a work out especially when your waiting for the new hair to come through , its going to be great am realy looking forward to when you start growing out take care i care



cheers

Hi urzaiz in answer to your question about swelling i never really had much at all certainaly within 3 days my face and forehead looked fine
,but i think its different for everyone!

As with whether any one will notice its difficult to say with out seeing what your hairs like before the op ,

wish you well for the big day your in good hands with mr ball i found thewhole day painless even fellasleep 3or4 times !!!!! By the way the team love the film the hangover so make sure youchose it! ! Say hi to tarquin for me and best of luck with it all
