Hey guys. Sure, I don't mind saying what the docs recommended in my case. I have yet to hear from Dr. Gho's office so we'll see if they contact me.

Just to summarize, I was never completely bald or even close. Just a diffuse thinning pattern. My approach was to do something about it early, but be conservative so that I could deal with my hair loss as it progressed. That seems to be the opposite of what the industry likes to do though. In general it seems that most would have you wait until you're 40 or so, your loss has slowed, and then fill in your bald areas. My philosophy was why be unhappy for 20 more years when you don't even know what will happen in that time.

I had my first procedure with Dr. Wolf 3 years ago, and I researched for many years before that. 1,300 FUE into the front third of my scalp. Its not an amazingly thick transplant, but it looks good (especially from the front) and it kept me from being bald, which I am very thankful for. I also utilize Rogaine consistently. I was on Propecia but had to stop due to side effects. I'm starting to get pretty thin, mainly in the crown and to an extent the midscalp. Here are what the docs have said:

Dr. Greco - I approached him a couple years ago about PRP. He basically said it was worth a shot, but didn't seem very enthusiastic.

Dr. Hitzig - He initially recommended Acell+PRP injections, and I almost went through with them. I decided to hold off until the September conference to see if anything would be revealed, but unfortunately it doesn't look like much great news came out of that. He said that I would do "very well" with a transplant and the injections, and that I'm a good candidate for them.

Dr. Cooley, Dr. Cole, Dr. Wong - They all had similar ideas so I've grouped them together. Dr. Cole favored his modified FUE procedure while the other two recommended tradition FUT surgeries. They all suggested around 2,000 grafts to address the midscalp and crown. Dr. Wong also went on to say that with around 4,000 he could get the front 1/3 thickened even more as well.

They all were of the mindset to be cautious when transplanting into the crown at such an early age, which I completely understand. Being young, my loss will most likely get worse and I don't want to deplete all of my donor hair. That's why Dr. Gho's technique is so appealing. Especially if it performs better when transplanted close to native hair as opposed to a completely bald scalp. My idea is to maintain my front 1/3, get the midscalp to an equal density, and fill in the crown as much as possible. If the front and midscalp looked good I could live with a slightly thinner crown. Dr. Wong seemed to be the most positive about being able to achieve my goal. Dr. Cooley a close second. That's not to say that any of the docs are bad. I think they're all some of the best in the business. They all also recommended Propecia and suggested that I cut the dosage to 1 pill every other day to see if it would alleviate my side effects. I haven't tried that yet.

Sorry this post is getting long and I didn't mean to hijack the thread but hopefully my experience and knowledge search will help some people in a similar situation.

To be honest I would have went through with a procedure with Dr. Wong already if I didn't feel that we were close to having a new breakthrough in the field. I hate to have an ear to ear scar then find out a few months later that Dr. Gho's procedure is for real, ACell has been perfected, or one of the HM companies is about to hit the market with a successful product.

for this is important TO ANSWER to all the questions from the "CUSTOMERS" once for all AND PUBLISH THEM ONLINE on the website!!!

INFORMATION.

otherwise things are not clear and people will ask again.

I agree. I've emailed her a few times over the last 6 months and can never seem to get all my questions answered. I believe she did confirm to me months ago that the same follicle that was harvested and regenerated could be harvested again. Aside from that she has ignored me haha.

this is another reason, aside from the time off I need to make it over to europe from the US, that has delayed my booking.

this is who I've been speaking to. She either doesn't speak great english or is deliberately avoiding all my questions. She always sends the same prefabricated phrase "....we don't go for the densest look but the most natural..."


she emailed me back quickly answering only one of my questions... which was when an appointment would be available. I emailed her back saying I had some questions before I commit and I havnt heard back since.


its possible she is just annoyed with me or doesn't think I'm going to turn into an actual sale... I dont know

NHASAP if it is not too intrusive what questions are you specifically asking her?

-how many procedures can I expect to get (ballpark estimate, they only have my pictures)

- do they do temple work?


I think thats about it....

I'm having trouble getting questions answered by hasci. I think it may be the language barrier but it comes across as evasive.

I put in a consultation request to Dr. Gho's clinic yesterday. Hopefully they'll contact me soon. I still have decent density everywhere, but I'm looking to mainly work in the midscalp and crown. I've talked to Dr. Wolf, Dr. Greco, Dr. Cole, Dr. Hitzig, Dr. Cooley, and Dr. Wong. So far they're all willing to transplant in those ares but very conservatively. I'm interested to see what Dr. Gho has to say. If everything works as he says it does, it seems like I could fill in what I've lost now, and as the years go by (providing I don't go broke) battle my thinning hair a little at a time. His procedure seems great for someone in my position so we'll see what he says. If I do end up getting it done at some point, I'll definitely try my best to have some close up images taken before and after.

hi jeffro , having ur same baldness problem , can i know what the doctors with u talked said about ur zone (miscalp+crown) , WHY THEY ARE VERY CONSERVATIVE??? WHAT EXACTLT DID THEY SAY TO U ?

Yop i am really looking forward to your answers. And also ask them one thing

1) Why are they always so overcareful when science backs their claims up and also other docs admit this approach to be valid. :-)

The question for the maximum density would be really nice to hear and also how many times they can harvest in general and how many times they can harvest a certain follicle

[c5000]

Yeah, I definately want to know how many times a follice can be re-used.

And also how many times a new graft can be put into a given area, i.e. wether or not there is a limit to the number of grafts that can be placed per cm2 over any given number of procedures.

I'm hoping the answer is that they can give you as much density in the receiver area as your donor area with allow, and that its not limited by the amount of scar tissue in the receptor area.

Yip, I'm making a note of all these questions...

Your questions are particularly relevant to me, as I'm 26, with balding to the crown and mid scalp only (with the exception of a slight recession to my hairline)...

So I really want to know if he can give me a full head of hair in one treatment of say 1600-2300 grafts.

1. I would ask how many (1700+ graft) procedures they think you can have...


and if it isn't obvious from there answer....


2. ask if once a follicle regenerates, can you harvest it again and expect it to regenerate again?


3. do they do the temple regions?




I've had trouble getting straight answers from them... but I've only been in contact with one sales women at hasci
