[Artista]

Hey Carl1985,,Im so glad for you,,good luck on the eventual outcome,,Im SURE you will be a happier man...and by the way,,the latest photos are fantastic!!!

[Granastasis]

I am happy for you. You look great! Do you use any kind of therapy?

[reckless]

This looks to be an excellent result. Congratulations!

I think I may go ahead with surgery with Hasson and Wong. I'm meeting one of their consultants in London soon.

It seems you paid around £10,000.

In my opinion this is completely worth it.

People pay £50k on fancy cars, which lose value after a few years. Your transplanted hair will be there for life (hopefully!). Plus you see your hair every time you look in the mirror.

Getting a hair transplant is no different than getting your teeth fixed via braces, veneers etc.

Hey Carl -- thanks for sharing and documenting your journey thus far. It's been extremely insightful and gratifying to watch your progress unfold. You haven't posted your monthly update in awhile so I just wanted to see how everything's been. Hopefully you're too busy enjoying life with a full head of hair. Hope to hear from you soon about the progress you've been making!

It depends on the clinic......but this many grafts would typically run between $14,000-$18,000 as a general ballpark.......

Thanks, I guess that's more motivation to become successful...

I'd like to see an update from Carl as well!

I'm curious about the cost too. I never really considered a transplant before, but I'm getting more and more desperate as I look towards the future and I really don't want to deal with this thinning/balding business. I just want hair that looks nice So what would the average cost for something like this be? I know there are several factors to take into consideration but I'm just looking for a ballpark estimation.

Dude you look amazing, great results!, I feel good for u, now how much did it cost you sir?

Hi Carl,
First of all I should say your hair looks great, and thanks for sharing your experience with us. I have a couple of questions for you if I may,

1. I am also originally from Ireland (dublin), but now in london, and I am also considering a HT with Dr. Wong. His recommendation for me is a lot more than other doctors (he has said 4000+ grafts while others are more like 2500).
Other doctors have said they will keep clear of doing my crown for the moment and will focus on the front. I can see from your photos that Dr. Wong has done some of your crown. Was this something you discussed? Did you get other opinions from other doctors?

2. I am very concerned about going back to work after 3 weeks (which is what I can take time off). Was this an issue for you. I can see that around that time for you there was nothing to indicate surgery, but the top of your head was clearly a different length of hair to the sides.

Thanks again

re

Looks great Carl, your story really was the deciding factor for me. I couldn't have been more pleased with the entire staff and setup at Hasson & Wong. From Doug, Daria, Angie, Carmen and of course Dr. Wong who were all very kind and very professional. They all take great pride in their work.
Only 72 hours out and I look like Apollo Creed in Rocky. Now the waiting begins. I am not much of a writer or story teller but I will try to post something up shortly.

thanks again Carl

**6 Month Update**

Firstly, apologies for the delay in posting these pictures. I've been absolutely rushed off my feet the last few weeks. Secondly, apologies for the dodgy quality. Decent natural light is hard to come by in late January Dublin...as are haircuts it seems!
Big improvement in the appearance of my scar this month. I hadn't been examining it on any kind of regular basis, but my wife had to actually LOOK for it to take these pictures. There's still a spot right at the centre that's quite red, but in general it's fading nicely. As for the rest, there's been some good thickening throughout and I'm feeling, rather than seeing the difference at the moment. The hair just has a more robust and natural texture to it as each week passes. I think the right side of my hairline has come along well too. It's tricky to tell as I've let it grow a bit longer than I intended at this stage and I think shorter would give a better impression of how the hairline is doing...maybe that's just me, but I'll be getting a trim during the week and will stick up a few hairline snaps then.

One of the best results I've seen, amazing transformation.

Your hair looks like a normal mature hairline now, no one would even look at you and think 'that guy is thinning on top'.

Congratulations man.
