Positive experience with Dr Feller (3500 grafts)

[Spex]

You know my doctor, but I can't tell you for obvious reasons.

I do not know who your doctor was, but i know it was not Dr Feller.

Obvious reasons..?

I think that is fair for both to give their story behind the HT discussed

If this is the case i see no reason why you can not discuss your situation, however if your choosing not to then thats your choose - BUT trying to create controversy surrounding another case and different doc to your own seems strange to me...

I will if I have to, I'm still trying to work things out with my doctor. Do you have any advise when it comes to a speaking with a doctor on the issue of a really bad result?

Hmmm drama in my thread. Exciting stuff

I have not updated my thread for bloody ages so apologies for that. Here are some photos I had taken a week ago. Unfortunately I had shaved my hair short a few days beforehand so....erm....they dont really show much. Yes I know I'm stupid lol.....but I thought I may as well post them up anyway.

About 3 weeks after the operation, some of the transplanted hair folicles started to come out each time I washed my hair, which is what I was told to expect. This continued to happen for about 3 weeks if I remember correctly. I was expecting it to all go quickly but it was actually very gradual and only some of the hair came out. Most of it has remained, which wasnt quite what I was expecting. I thought all of it was going to come out and then new hair would regrow at a later date. I guess not then.

Anyway I dont have a huge amount to report at the moment, as 3 months have now gone by which I guess places me at the "between phase". My friends seem to think that the new hair is thickening although I'm personally not seeing much change so its probably just their imagination.....and I'm not expecting to either as I'm not even halfway through the 8 months that I was told it would take.

The waiting game continues

I will try to remember to post up pictures each month from now on.

The scar has healed pretty well though. It was certainly a relief when I was finally able to run a shaver over my head, as it was far too sensitive beforehand. It felt so good to finally get rid of the bozo look

Here are a few photos taken about a week ago, after I had let it grow a bit. This is roughly 5 months after the operation. It doesnt look particularly good but hopefully it will start looking better over the next 3 months, although if I'm totally honest I'm feeling rather doubtful about it. To get the full head of normal looking hair I would like, I think I will need another operation.....or two. Hmmm

I understand sometimes we don't feel good with how we look but from the Jan 24 pics you posted IMO you look good with the really short Haircut
Maybe it's unfortunate you could not have got used to the reaally short hair and accepted / embraced it as it appears from the above statement your expectations may have been too high and you may now think you will another HT .....or 2

I think you’ll be surprised at how much will start growing within the next few months. From what I see on the forum, some people are disappointed even up to 6th or 7th months and then all of a sudden they get a big growth spurt and in the end are very happy. Give it some time.

I think having to shave my hair extremely short for the past 15 years due to being so bald on top has given me plenty of time to get used to that. Thank you for the compliment though. However what I have never truly accepted is the lack of "choice".....and of course the great big bald patch on my head

I didnt go for a hair transplant so I can continue to think "Oh well I had better shave my hair super short as it will look bad if I grow it". I went for a hair transplant so that I can have that "choice" back again......the choice to have one of those mythical things many people refer to as a "hairstyle". Also the scar on the back of my head is a detractor from shaving my head now.

My expectations really go no higher than "I want a full head of hair that looks good". I will of course try and hold off on judging it too much until the transition is complete.
