this is who I've been speaking to. She either doesn't speak great english or is deliberately avoiding all my questions. She always sends the same prefabricated phrase "....we don't go for the densest look but the most natural..."


she emailed me back quickly answering only one of my questions... which was when an appointment would be available. I emailed her back saying I had some questions before I commit and I havnt heard back since.


its possible she is just annoyed with me or doesn't think I'm going to turn into an actual sale... I dont know

NHASAP if it is not too intrusive what questions are you specifically asking her?

-how many procedures can I expect to get (ballpark estimate, they only have my pictures)

I agree. I've emailed her a few times over the last 6 months and can never seem to get all my questions answered. I believe she did confirm to me months ago that the same follicle that was harvested and regenerated could be harvested again. Aside from that she has ignored me haha.

this is another reason, aside from the time off I need to make it over to europe from the US, that has delayed my booking.

Hey guys. Sure, I don't mind saying what the docs recommended in my case. I have yet to hear from Dr. Gho's office so we'll see if they contact me.

Just to summarize, I was never completely bald or even close. Just a diffuse thinning pattern. My approach was to do something about it early, but be conservative so that I could deal with my hair loss as it progressed. That seems to be the opposite of what the industry likes to do though. In general it seems that most would have you wait until you're 40 or so, your loss has slowed, and then fill in your bald areas. My philosophy was why be unhappy for 20 more years when you don't even know what will happen in that time.

I had my first procedure with Dr. Wolf 3 years ago, and I researched for many years before that. 1,300 FUE into the front third of my scalp. Its not an amazingly thick transplant, but it looks good (especially from the front) and it kept me from being bald, which I am very thankful for. I also utilize Rogaine consistently. I was on Propecia but had to stop due to side effects. I'm starting to get pretty thin, mainly in the crown and to an extent the midscalp. Here are what the docs have said:

Dr. Greco - I approached him a couple years ago about PRP. He basically said it was worth a shot, but didn't seem very enthusiastic.

Dr. Hitzig - He initially recommended Acell+PRP injections, and I almost went through with them. I decided to hold off until the September conference to see if anything would be revealed, but unfortunately it doesn't look like much great news came out of that. He said that I would do "very well" with a transplant and the injections, and that I'm a good candidate for them.

Dr. Cooley, Dr. Cole, Dr. Wong - They all had similar ideas so I've grouped them together. Dr. Cole favored his modified FUE procedure while the other two recommended tradition FUT surgeries. They all suggested around 2,000 grafts to address the midscalp and crown. Dr. Wong also went on to say that with around 4,000 he could get the front 1/3 thickened even more as well.

They all were of the mindset to be cautious when transplanting into the crown at such an early age, which I completely understand. Being young, my loss will most likely get worse and I don't want to deplete all of my donor hair. That's why Dr. Gho's technique is so appealing. Especially if it performs better when transplanted close to native hair as opposed to a completely bald scalp. My idea is to maintain my front 1/3, get the midscalp to an equal density, and fill in the crown as much as possible. If the front and midscalp looked good I could live with a slightly thinner crown. Dr. Wong seemed to be the most positive about being able to achieve my goal. Dr. Cooley a close second. That's not to say that any of the docs are bad. I think they're all some of the best in the business. They all also recommended Propecia and suggested that I cut the dosage to 1 pill every other day to see if it would alleviate my side effects. I haven't tried that yet.

Sorry this post is getting long and I didn't mean to hijack the thread but hopefully my experience and knowledge search will help some people in a similar situation.

To be honest I would have went through with a procedure with Dr. Wong already if I didn't feel that we were close to having a new breakthrough in the field. I hate to have an ear to ear scar then find out a few months later that Dr. Gho's procedure is for real, ACell has been perfected, or one of the HM companies is about to hit the market with a successful product.
