Well it’s time for another update. This one is a bit more exciting than my previous posts, as on Tuesday I went for a consultation at the Farjo Institute!
As background, I’ve been in contact with the clinic since January. I live within an hours walk of them which is extremely convenient and prior to embarking on this hair journey they were actually the only clinic I’d heard of, due to their well documented procedures on numerous celebrities. It only took me a few weeks of research and forum dwelling to make the decision that I was going to go with a very well established surgeon. My relatively advanced condition means I need to be as sure as I can of getting things right first time as I won’t have unlimited donor to fix things if all doesn’t go to plan. I have to be risk averse and stack the odds in my favour, if I were to have a bad outcome and feel I’d compromised on the cost say, the regret would burn away for years.
So as per above, I’d previously had numerous telephone conversations with Mick from Farjo and he‘d provided much encouraging, yet realistic advice. I’d received no hyperbole and went for the consultation knowing that full coverage wasn’t a likely option. I’m actually very comfortable with the thought of not tackling the crown. My 4 possible outcomes were full coverage, which I knew was unlikely, not being a viable candidate, which I very much hoped wouldn’t be the case, coverage of the front third only (including reinstating a mature hairline), or tackling the frontal two thirds. The final option was the one I’d realistically been hoping for, knowing that the crown might just be a step too far.
So on Tuesday, I arrived for my consultation and was given a warm greeting by the receptionist, then taken through to the consultation room to await Mick’s imminent arrival………(to be continued)……….
