My new HST plan

[c5000]

Hi all

Just thought I would share my new HST plan and see if anyone had any input on it.

The debate about donor regeneration being 80% or 50% is still there so lets just say that there is "some" donor regeneration.

What I plan on doing is going for an HST every year until one of either 3 outcomes:

1) I have achieved a full head of hair through HST alone
2) My donor starts to appear thin
3) Hair cloning or another more improved HST method comes along

If outcome 1 occurs... Great, job done, move on with life.

If outcome 2 occurs and my donor starts to look thin, couldn't I just use body hair (from the back of my neck and my chest/back), to give a little and I mean "a little" more density back to the donor?

If outcome 3 occurs then by this time my recipient area will have been significantly improved through X number of HSTs and I can finish the job with a new or improved technique.


I suppose what I'm trying to say is that I may as well keep getting HSTs until one of the 3 outcomes occur, instead of sitting around (remaining bald) waiting for a miracle cure. Yes it's pretty expensive and yes there is debate about the regeneration, but atleast there is SOME regeneration. Seems to me to be a no brainer...

I kind of like your plan, it used to be my opinion...
But still regarding the invest, I need to be sure of the 80-85% donor regeneration...

But of course, it makes sense...if we wait our fourties to start something, it's not worth...

I don't see a solution in body hair. Personally I think it's one of these surgeries that make you look worse, not better. To me it looks like turning your scalp into a scrotum.

While i do agree with you.. I still think if you shave it down to a really low number... you can pull it off... just for the shadow effect.. but it has to be like a 1 or 2 maximum.

Maybe, but I wouldn't assume you can or what the yield might be. I thought my beard hair would be a no-brainer to use as it's strong but whilst I was there Dr Gho gave me the once over and said my beard hair was not suitable for transplantation

I would of thought neck hair is ok to transplant?

Personally I have a heap of unnecessary neck hair, which i've always hated. It's very similar to the type of hair on my scalp, just a bit thinner. It literally extends my hair line down my neck too far - i'm constantly having to use a trimmer down my neck (back and sides), so I think it would be a win/win scenario for me to have it done?

Is there any particular leading surgeon who transplants neck hair?

Would HASCI transplant neck hair for me?

I have just taken lots of 6-month update photos, and I'm somewhat surprised what I can very very clearly see in these photos - because of this:


So according to Dr. Gho's "Proof of Concept" study, regrowth of the implanted HST grafts started 5-8 month after implantation. That means, at the moment, I should actually either see still nothing or very short hairs - but in my opinion and according to the new 6-month photos, I can actually see the "final result" - and I really really like the hairline I created ...

Furthermore, everything looks totally natural so far (disribution of the hairs, angeling etc) - BUT, of course, not extremely dense everything, because you can't get this with just 1400 grafts within such a big area.

Nevertheless, I really like what I can see so far ...
