Regular Member robertread Posted October 6, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 6, 2009 and is it ok to go to any surgeon who is recommend on this site becouse isnt getting a hairtransplant like just going to get braces (example) doesnt matter were you go you will get it done am i right ? please correct my understanding on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted October 6, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hmmm....difficult to say. You should expect the following in getting a HT: -- a long day of surgery where you sit still, laying in a chair watching movies, listening to music, etc. -- a few week period to a few month period (depends) where you may look different (i.e. worse) than you did pre-op -- several months of waiting till your result comes in, which takes ~1 year to fully develop -- once done, you will have the hair and look you've worked and waited so long and hard to achieve for life Just how dramatic a result you can achieve in one pass depends upon: -- your level of loss -- your physiology (how tight your scalp is, how dense your donor is) -- the doctor you choose ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos.

Regular Member robertread Posted October 6, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 6, 2009 thank you very much mate.i think i will just need 1,500 grafts to get a very good result any suregons in europe you recommend mate ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted October 6, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 6, 2009 Ok. Getting a HT is *not* like getting braces! It matters as much or more than any other surgical practice in who you go to, IMHO. Doctors reccomended by this site (particularly, Coalition docs) have been chosen because their standards and quality of work go above and beyond the general pool of clinics that exist. The clinics have been vetted by the site, and as such represent the most elite collection of clinics that exist. This doesn't mean that your research should just end here, however. There are many differences amongst the many doctors reccomended by this site, and it is in your best interest to do consultations (which are usually free) with a nice sample to then make a decision after comparing and contrasting. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos.

Senior Member thanatopsis_awry Posted October 6, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 6, 2009 Europe has some fine surgeons, indeed. Are you in England? In England, the Farjo practice is the absolute best, hands down. Dr. DevRoye is in Belgium and does excellent work and I find him to be personally most impressive. You often can get travel $/discounts, btw -- so, not in Europe, but: Feller and Shapiro in the U.S. are top notch. Hasson&Wong and Rahal in Canada I am continually impressed by. ----------- *A Follicles Dying Wish To Clinics* 1 top-down, 1 portrait, 1 side-shot, 1 hairline....4 photos. No flash.

Regular Member shanti Posted October 6, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted October 6, 2009 Oh, No offence intended mate. Better English than my German for sure. Seems like you need to spend a few months on this site and others and research. HT's are a huge commitment and there are many pitfalls. My family and friends don't know but it isn't easy hiding it. Longer hair can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member robertread Posted October 6, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 6, 2009 ok is it true the less balding you have the better results you can get ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shanti Posted October 6, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted October 6, 2009 Depends, Your hair when you are 'less bald' can help add density and support the hair transplant, but that existing hair isn't necessarily always going to be there so it could make situations worse if you don't plan for the future. A bald scalp can also receive a very good cosmetic improvement and some would say you are more likely to have a better long term result if your are more bald to begin with. Also no "shockloss".

Regular Member robertread Posted October 6, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 6, 2009 is it possible to add density to exsisting hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shanti Posted October 6, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted October 6, 2009 Yes but not necessarily a good idea. You can end up loosing more than you add. Do you have any pictures of your hairloss? We'd be able to help you better... and how old are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ej Posted October 6, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hi Robert How old are you ? I would wait if I were you and spend plenty of time and do consultations with some surgeons on this site . Are you taking propecia ? take your time and do not rush or be pushed in to anything , it is a life changing decision and you want to get it right from the start regards ej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Sparky Posted October 6, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 6, 2009 I'm going to Dr Bisanga in brussels, look him up on youtube, good results. Hes not a member on here, but he still does very good work. I've been burned in England so I wouldnt recommend anyone here, except Farjo, although they dont offer fue and I wouldnt do strip for 1500 grafts at your age if I were you. Prob better to try meds first imho. I would agree that Shapiro and Feller are tops, and I would be going there, but dont really like flying long distances. H&W are also tops but dont offer fue, unless you dont mind a faint strip scar, then I would def consider H&W.

Senior Member ej Posted October 7, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted October 7, 2009 robert , I think you need to do loads and loads and then loads more research ! get some consultations with docs from this site ask to see a patient either during or immiediatly after surgery .
