3rd Procedure with Gho

[534623]

... if you had hst over 2 days you'd have around 3000 grafts at least

Yeah? Extracting them from WHERE? From gc's ass?

Even they would indeed be able to do this (3000 grafts) in some cases and just from the REAL SAFE ZONE - there is still Dr. Gho's law #1:

"NOT MORE THAN AROUND 2000 EXTRACTIONS PER TREATMENT - BECAUSE ...!"

hmmm, what did he say loud and clear concerning "because" in the 1st Kobren/Gho interview?

Nice to see that you're on pace for 1600+ grafts gc! I'm hoping that HASCI will eventually be more comfortable with offering multiple day sessions so that those of us who have the resources - donor and recipient - can get as many grafts transplanted in a session as reasonably possible. Your case is really encouraging in that regard.

Also great to hear Gho confirming that you have many more procedures left in you! Especially after what Farjo and other clinics told you.

Looking forward to your pictures and it's been great following your story and progress!

Cheers mate, I'm glad to hear that.

Didi he won't do HST on me. It's related to my alopecia, unfortunately little is known about the causes of these types of things, but I've heard from more than 1 doctor that a transplant on someone with scarring alopecia could flare it up again. Also I think Gho is only doing HSI on scarred tissue, so he must believe there is a higher yield of growth using HSI on scarred tissue.

THIS is really good news!
So hopefully the "shaved" hairs are not too long in the observation area ...

Iron_Man, could you re-upload these individual pictures in high-resolution?

Can you go for HST instead of HSI? I dont even know why you go for HSI
HST gives you more grafts per session, if you had hst over 2 days you'd have around 3000 grafts at least

Tomorrow, you should do the same concerning the "drill ratio" story ...

No because I don't believe it enough to ask it to the master that is Gho.

[gc83uk]

Hehe, congrats man, great to hear that !

Cheers mate

Bale - yes it is/was! I had an area of something like 100cm2 completely bald from scarring alopecia in the mid vertex area, whilst retaining the majority of my hairline and crown area. I have thin straight hair so I've been turned down from regular hair transplants because of my weak donor.

And yes eventually full coverage, the most I can possibly get.

... Gho. I also asked him straight today ...

gc

what kind of end result are you going for...full coverage? Is your hairloss extensive?

[Arashi]

I also asked him straight today am I definitely ok for a couple more procedures which he said 'of course!' I knew that, but it was good to hear him say it.

Hehe, congrats man, great to hear that !

[gc83uk]

Also I don't know if anyone remembers me saying a while back, but I was told by more than 1 fue fut clinics that I could have a max of 2500 grafts and that is the best they could do.

By tomorrow night I should have had over 3000 minimum with Gho. I also asked him straight today am I definitely ok for a couple more procedures which he said 'of course!' I knew that, but it was good to hear him say it.

Iron man - yes I know what your saying, it won't be wet nor is there any cream on that side of my head.

I've just ****ing realised though that I can't upload photos from my camera to my ipad, I should hav brought my laptop than this heap of junk. Even typing is a ball ache!

So I'll take the good photos tonight and upload them Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. I could take pics with the iPad or camera phone, but I doubt anyone would be fussed to see those.

Kiwi to answer your question from the other thred and didis comment. I've had no work done on my hair line whatsoever. My current norwood level i suppose once the middle is filled in will be something like, Nw2 or 3. I'll let others be the judge of that because its something I've never really gave much thought to due to the severity of my hair loss in the vertex area etc.

Yea exactly, it's really short all over, I actually quite like it! Going to have some dinner and will upload in a couple of hours.

gc - the hairs in the untouched area must be completely DRY!
Hopefully they didn't apply the Fucidine-cream also onto the still untouched side (normally not) , because in this case, the hairs within every follicular unit (FU)/graft would/could rather stick together, what makes it difficult TO SEE what type of FU/hairs (1-hair or 2-hair graft?) regenerated within ALL 53 extraction sites - concerning the characteristics of the regenerated hairs.

If the untouched area is really DRY - try to rub/scrabble somewhat the hairs in this area BEFORE taking the photos. This can increase the chance that the hairs/tips of the hairs within every regenerated extraction site fall somewhat appart and do not stick together anymore. Hopefully you understand what I mean ...

Today they only extracted from my left side and back, pretty lucky because that means the observed area we've been looking at over the last year or so hasn't been touched. So I'll take more photos tonight and try and upload them.
