Hey guys,
I have been lurking on this site for the past year and would first off like to mention what a wonderful, well organized forum this is. I am one of those unfortunate victims of a poorly thought out hair transplant procedure, performed over 1.5 years ago. I did have a pretty thick head of hair before this procedure... You've heard it all before - I was naive, uneducated in the matter and bought into it...
Here's the brief summary - I had 900 grafts transplanted primarily in the left hair line and left midsection of my head (the only place where it seemed to be thinning).. I had HORRIBLE telogen effluvium for almost 8 months after and my MPB really started to show it's ugly face...Essentially, the nasty side affects of this procedure threw me five years into the future. ANYWAYS, I now have one side of my head with only transplanted hairs (primarily 1's or 2's) that are spaced evenly but too far apart and the other side that is balding natural (there is still hair, but it is thin.)
MY BIGGEST QUESTION: Who on here has had hair transplants implanted only in certain areas of their head? Furthermore, when you shaved your head, what experience did you have? When shaved down to the 0 or 1 guard, do you feel that your transplanted hair appears obvious? I know for a fact that there are others on here like me and I sincerely appreciate your time and advice in such a traumatic, perpetually devastating situation... it has been a hard road and while I am excited about the potential of some of these treatments that are proceeding further into clinical trials, I also just want the option to be free again.
