Hey maybe a shot in the dark but do you ever see those NW7 guys who's nape hair has receded up the back of their neck/head? Maybe you're one of those guys and had hairs that were gonna fall out anyway transplanted. I mean yeah that would totally suck but at least if that's the case you know there arent any other serious medical concerns. Just a thought
Gho HSi patient had close up pictures

" i have a gut feeling that tells me that with HST it sholdnt be a problem to let your hairs survive for until you die." I hope that's the case, Richard. But honestly, I don't see how Gho's transplants would be any different than the other transplants I've had -except for the regeneration of hairs in the donor site- especially knowing that my last 2 HTs were done by one of the best doctors in the field here in western Canada but I'm just gonna hang on to that hope anyway. It's the only thing left for me. If those hairs last a few years or at least a couple of years until some other treatment is available, it would be worth the money.
Flowers, that kind of baldness (N7) doesn't run in my family. The other thing, those transplanted hairs don't fall out gradually like native ones would. Like I said in previous posts, those hairs grow just fine for a random number of years then most of them start falling out all of a sudden and usually within a short period of time (2-3 months) and they dont look like they're thinning at the tip. They look 100% thick and healthy.Comment

Yes I'm still using Fin and Minox.
Richard, actually all my HTs were FUTs not FUEs. That's why I was considering FUE this time for obvious reasons but I keep hearing the survival rate of the follicles is not good.Comment

I had my fourth HT ( around 1700 grafts) in 2004 and all was well until around May 2009 and that's when I had a sudden rapid shed that left my hairline thinner especially the right temple. Went back to the same doctor who decided that 800 grafts would be more than enough to fix the hairline again. Got the HT around Xmas 2009 but last Feb (just over a year after that last HT) things started going downhill again only this time it's much much worse. Massive shed and now I'm a whole lot thinner. Read something here about "seasonal shedding" and it kinda gave me hope maybe that's what it was and decided to wait it out. Well, it's been 8 months now and NO hair growing back and actually have lost even more hair. So, no doubt in my mind this isn't seasonal shedding. This is a permanent loss or I would've got the hair from the previous HTs back. This is like a mystery. Even those who end up losing their transplanted hair tend to lose it gradually over time. My loss happens so quickly (usually within 2 months) and like I said it happens
at random (in as short as 1 year after the HT or as long as 5).
Yes I'm still using Fin and Minox.

I'm having trouble getting questions answered by hasci. I think it may be the language barrier but it comes across as evasive.
in other news... Gho treats another famous patient and updated his website with the pictures....

maybe they wont answer my questions because I'm not famous?Comment

Cvazbar, I've been on Fin (first Propecia then switched to Proscar) since it '99. I was also on Dut for about 15 months but didn't see any difference so switched back to Fin since about 4 months ago. I can't say for sure if it's working or not because I'm using Minox too. Maybe it's slowed down the loss because my hair has been getting thinner and thinner over the years. So, obviously it's hasn't completely stopped the progress of hair loss. I feel Minox is doing a better job though. Every time I stop Minox I notice more shedding and once I get back on it the shed stops. All I know is that transplanted hair should not be affected by DHT but it looks like other factors can cause it to fall out in a small minority of people. The doctor says it's rejected by the body. The thing is if it's rejected then why the hell isn't it rejected right away ? Why does it last for years sometimes ?? This is really pissing me off.Comment

If I were to contact Gho, would I even get a response? I have a few questions about his procedure, and I want to speak with one of his staff or anybody who could awnser them.
Also, whats his main website? I can't seem to find anything on google.Comment

Cvazbar, the doctor was definitely stumped by my problem. He's one of the best doctors like I said and it is a fact that a small minority of people lose their transplanted hair OVER TIME but it was obvious that the way I keep losing my hair was unusual - meaning it just happens quickly when it happens.
Yeah, Gho seems to be the only hope for me -assuming that he does in fact able to do some kind of HM.
Bosox, it's hasci.Comment

Hey, balding is BETTER than bald. People usually don't call someone who's balding "bald". He might be balding but NOT bald yet, unless he's down to 25% of his hair.Comment

back on topic....
not an nw1... maybe hes a bad nw3 now.. well see what the next couple visits to gho bring
also another famous, very bald, athlete just visited ghoComment
-
Well if you consider the regulare NW scale then yes its NW3 BUT every balding person is individual and given the head its a NW 1,5 or worst NW2 in his individual case and head form.
Also dont forget if he got the main thing fixed with HST he can use his remaining 4000 Grafts or so via FUE to lower his hair line or whatever he wants.
Facts are, he was smart, he used the minimal invasive and donor recharging technique first so that even after multiple runs he has all options available, a normal balding person has from the start before doing traditional transplants.
I dont go after he traditional NW scale in terms of restoration because every head looks different.
And this guy seems to had this as his normal hair line in the first placeComment

So this guy was bald in the front and the hair we see now is all transplanted ? Well, if it is then it looks good.
Yeah, I think Gho is in my future. I just wish the procedure was a little cheaper.
Just saw Wayne Rooney on tv and man his hair already looks good. He looks 10 years younger now. I know he had his HT in the UK but just saying. **** baldness. If I could I'd get an HT every year. Being bald is SHIT.Comment
