Senior Member balody Posted June 26 Senior Member Share Posted June 26 Hi all Just a quick check in. After 3 ht's over nearly 20 years(nw 6/7) I thought my ever expanding crown and lack of much donor was a lost cause. Met Dr Farjo a little while back and was told all is not lost and arranged surgery for 24th June. Well,as usual Dr's (Mr+Mrs) were stellar as were the tech girls,surgery started at 9 and I was on my way back to hotel by 6.30. A little sore but held off on the painkillers (constipation 😄)and drove 230 miles home next morning. I asked for the crown to be addressed but also since my last ht some 13 years ago my natural sides had lowered along with the crown leaving a gap between natural hair and transplant. We agreed that with the size of crown and donor,2000 approx should make an a nice improvement. Apologies I didnt get the finished numbers before I left with all the sedative etc. Anyway 2 days later,feel fine,everything looks in order and donors healing nicely. Cheers Paul. 2381 fut Dr Bessam Farjo 2201 fut Dr Bessam Farjo 2000+ fut Dr Bessam Farjo My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Bessam Farjo challenge the unchallenged.

Yeah,been out of the game for a while,thought I was done donor wise but here we are again 😆 Learning a lot in a few days being back on here,for example only realised yesterday I had DHI...Didnt even know what it was. I was sedated and couldnt remember him making the incisions obviously because he didnt 😁 Now the waiting game,I'm quite enjoying the bald look btw(reminds me of 90's me) so think I'm going to keep it shaved until stuff starts happening 🤘 2381 fut Dr Bessam Farjo 2201 fut Dr Bessam Farjo 2000+ fut Dr Bessam Farjo My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Bessam Farjo challenge the unchallenged.

Not posted on here in years but check in now and again. Our stories are very similar (same age, both had work done by Farjo). Congrats on the latest ht. Work looks clean as expected. Funny isn’t it - my first ht in 1998, I remember saying to Mick after he rightly recommended a conservative approach given my age and family history: “can’t you just fill it up? I want it as thick as you can get it!” Mick told me if they did, when I’m fifty I’ll look weird. I said I won’t care when I’m fifty! Yet here we are and we’re still bothered 😄 My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Farjo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is your situation now? My transplants did their job (with increasing help from concealers until about 2015 when for some reason I lost a shedload of hair. Struggled on for a few more years until I was basically just painting my head with Dermmatch etc. I was in a quite a bad place, and shaving wasn’t an option due to my pretty bad scarring. Enough was enough, and I reluctantly looked into hair systems. Not a route I wanted to go down really but it was that or pretty much become a hermit. Got to say it’s the best thing I could have done. I’m a completely new man. I know it’s not for everyone but it’s working for me. Never once thought I’d been detected by anyone in three years of wearing. (Pic below) Anyway, happy growing mate.

Nice one! Hair systems are so good these days,I was thinking about it too. I mentioned it to my wife a while back who btw is a hair stylist with our own salon and she point blank said “You ain’t wearing a wig” so that was that 😂 Hopefully this will sort me but if it doesn’t I’m quite enjoying the bald look atm,not had it this short since I had SMP into the scars in 2018. All the best. 2381 fut Dr Bessam Farjo 2201 fut Dr Bessam Farjo 2000+ fut Dr Bessam Farjo My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Bessam Farjo challenge the unchallenged.
