Dr Feller New York Hair Transplant

[Folly]

Wow, still looks dense even when wet. Your hairline will look brilliant in a few months when your transplanted hairs mature and you get the rest of your growth. Dr. Feller does the best hairlines (along with Dr. Rahal).

[sausage]

It looks very good.

Are you taking Fin to keep the rest of your hair?

If you are is it working for you?

If not then I guess you will have to continue getting a hair transplant every 1-2 years as your hair gradually thins out.

[chrisdav]

yeah I am on finasteride Sausage, have been for 4 or 5 years.

I am realistic and know that my hairloss is minimal in comparison to some forum members but I am taking all the measures to preserve my native hair and slow down/halt the process.

Hair loss is hard to predict and the usual indicators (rate of loss, family/relatives loss, miniaturization on the scalp etc) are the best indications the surgeons currently have I believe.

I am sure at some stage, I may require more surgery whether that is in 3-5 years,10,20 years but you never know.

How is your search for a surgeon going, have you decided yet or you still researching?

How is your search for a surgeon going, have you decided yet or you still researching?

I gave up, I have far less hair than you have and my donor hair is not great so surgeons were generally not too happy to help me achieve what I wanted. Some were happy to help but as the general view was not too positive I did not proceed.

I am now on Fin. Even though I was highly skeptical of the stuff I guess the continued positiveness from people on the web about the drug and the fact that I have no other options right now made me give in to purchasing it.

I am only 2-3 weeks into taking it along with Regaine foam and Toco-8. If peoples claims that it has a good chance of thickening up and even growing new hairs for me then it could make a big enough difference to my hair and therefore better my options for a hair transplant.

I have a fairly high receeded hairline in the typical 'V' shape and the hair on top of my head is very thin and the hairs are in that microscopic phase so if they come back to life as I said it could make a big difference then I could just get my temples/hairline filled in with a HT.

I don't really expect anything to be honest but I'm hoping for the best.

I just hope Replicel bring good news this month. If they do then I think Hair Transplants won't be necessary for me or anyone else in the near future.

I am sometimes quite happy with the way I look bald other times I am really down. I think I could get on with it if I had a decent girlfriend that didn't care about it. Thats ideally the biggest and most likely cure of my depression right now......getting a decent girl.

My biggest fear is being single forever.

[chrisdav]

I am sorry to hear about that Sausage.

Hair is only one attribute of numerous that a male possesses and don't let it rule your life.

You are only a young still and have your whole life ahead of you, you only live once so live it to the full and have no regrets.

Have you tried using concealer as they are helpful?

Who knows what lies ahead in the future regarding hairloss and restoration, but I am sure you will find a nice girlfriend in time if you remain positive and upbeat.

There are plenty of men losing their hair who have lovely girlfriends/partners and I am sure if you build a solid foundation for yourself, you will do just that.

Just make sure you develop your other attributes ie make sure you go to the gym and get in relatively good shape,be ambitious so you can hopefully obtain a job which not only you enjoy but pays well and enables you to build a solid foundation for you and your future partner/girlfriend but also your personality e.g confidence, charm, inteligence etc.

Was your donor supply below average or was that thinning?

Was your donor supply below average or was that thinning?

Thanks for the support mate.

It was below average. I think it may have thinned out a bit as when my hairloss started I got so angry and started tearing it out myself. I know, sounds mad, it was like I was angry with God letting this happen to me. (Not that I believe in god).

I just need to take the steps to get me out into the world meeting new people, I have become reclusive, mainly cos I have lost touch with old friends and the fact I got fed up with them. Once I move out of home then I can get on with my life. I can't do this right now cos of my work situation.

As I said a girlfriend would make a huge difference to my life, if someone can accept me with my baldness then I guess I would not have anything to worry about + I will have someone to do things with which I don't have right now. Theres so much I want to do but stuck in my own little world its pretty crap.

I work out, My physical shape is fairly good, just trying to get a toned sporty physique which I am not too far off so that keeps me occupied.

[chrisdav]

Glad to hear your getting in good shape.

The only one who can make changes in your life is YOU and in general, something won't happen unless you make it happen.

You should contact some of your old friends and starting going out more often where you live.

Not only will you make new friends, who you might rather socialise with, but you are more likely to meet more females and possibly the girl you are looking for.

I like this quote, which I read recently and I think it is very motivating.

I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

For me personally,when I am sat on my death bed, I want to know I lived life to the fullest and had no regrets and I am sure you are no different.

Just keep your chin up,get your life back on track by going in the right direction and you will get there in the end if you work hard Sausage.

[sausage]

Unfortunately I will always have regrets I am just that type of person, I have always told myself that theres not too much I could have done about the regrets I have and will have because they were caused by my shyness and hairloss and at those times I could not defeat either issue how much I tried.

I just hope soon enough I can fully defeat my issue with my hairloss or at least in part and get on with life.

I am stuck with my parents at the moment as I try to get a permanent position at work, I can not risk moving out when my job isn't secure. This is holding me back as I would like to move out and move in shared accommodation and then I will be out all the time meeting new people. At the moment I don't really know anyone anymore and got fed up of old friends taking the piss out of my hair so they can go die for all I care.

Talking about it is a great first step sausage. I recently had to apply for a permanent position at work for a job i had been doing for a number of years. You know what even woth all the uncertainties i still went and bought myself a car. Stupid, maybe but life doesn't wait for anyone. Good luck and all the best

Yeah It feels good to talk about it.

I have just got to push myself to get what I want in life.

My work situation winds me up. I have had it for years. I was in temporary contracts for 2 years at one company, someone in a permanent position left and they bought someone else in permanently to replace him! I had been their 2 ****ing years waiting for a permanent role and someone goes straight in!!! I was fuming. It had nothing to do with me personally it was simply the fact they had no thought of offering it to me!! I eventually got laid off cos they lost a major client bloody twats!!....

I went to a competitor (where I am now) which is a much better place to work. And again I am a temp, 3 months then another 3 months so on and so on!!!! JUST GIVE ME A PERMANENT CONTRACT U BASTARDS!!!

Had to get that off my chest.

+ I would not mind a car or even a house of my own but being a temp I can't do f-all rite now.

I have been a temp contract worker for 4 years. Just been made permanent, havent signed a contract yet, but i had to re-apply for my position, do the interviews, and sit in a 5 hour psychometric test to see if i can spell. I am nearing my mid-thirties now. About the ladies, hairloss is not that big of a deal, you will find one that will look past that. We will always have regrets, that is part of life, but try to look to the future and not the past. I am from Cape Town so I need a car to get around. Beautifull beaches and woman an lots of cool places to escape for a weekend.

Question

Hey Chrisdav,

I also have a consultation with Dr. Feller in May in the UK. My aim to have a my second HT with him after my first didn't go to plan. How long did you have to wait for the procedure once booked?

Also what were the additional costs of the accomodation and flights? Im looking to have between 1500-1800 grafts so am trying to make sure im under no illusions regarding the finances.

Thanks!

I feel for you on the temp jobs. I went through that right out of college. Not only did they never hire me full time they screwed me and several others out of a lot of back pay they owed us. I ended getting a much better job (gov) and have been there ever since. Karma is true as the IRS finally got those guys.
