Just had a HT by Dr Bessam Farjo The Farjo Medical Group in UK. HT was done 1st Nov 07. will keep posted.

The incisions look very clean and minimally invasive. I think you will have good results and great to see Farjo doing a larger session of 3500.

Best of luck and keep us posted.

Well, I finally had my HT on 1st nov at Farjo Medical centre in Manchester, UK. Just want to say I am not surprised that Dr Farjo has been included in the Coalition List. I am delighted with my experience with my first HT. Want to say a thanku to Ballody and Janna & of course Mick for their time and advise from this forum. Dr Farjo felt I had good laxity in my donar area during my consultation in June 07. My preference was to try1 HT only..so a mega session is what I was hoping for. I believe he managed to get around 3500 FUT's. Strip was long and thin. I hope to get the exact details on the 1/2/3/4 hair grafts later from their report.
Finally, I want to say that I was dreading those dalm needles but this part was not at all as bad I was imagined. Pls take a look at my pics and feel free to comment. I will put a blogg together later with more details. Good to know there is some real skilled Dr's in UK incase i need to think about another HT in my crown.

thx gazzasgoin2, i don't want to speak too soon, but i have not had any common side effects yet. washed and shampoo tday as detailed by the Doc. also got the better half to trim my sides and back as u can in pics. hoping to not use the cap soon, but i know everyone will notice the new density on top ;-)

Fallenstar,

Congratulations on your recent hair transplant with Farjo Medical. I agree with our members that your immediately post op results look first-rate and ultra refined with minimally invasive incisions.

Do you happen to have a hair count breakdown as well as the number of grafts?

I hope you'll keep us updated with monthly progress pictures so we can see your results flourish. I encourage you also to create a hair loss weblog to share your experience and photos.

I have no doubt that you will be very satisfied with your results.

Best wishes,

Falc

Thx Falc, i am expecting the details on the hair count numbers etc from Mick. i am in the process of creating a blog so that others can benefit and gain confidence like i did from this forum. keep up the great work!!

Hey,

looks really good. !

Happy growing and dont look in the mirror all the time. It´s really hard time the next months :-)

Happy growin ...

As the others said

Looks really goood and should provide a nice foundation!

thx guys, really appreciate the +ve feedback...u r right, its difficult not to take a peek at my reflection..feels like being 20 again :-) but i am expecting these little ones to dissappear in the short term , but hey why not enjoy them while it lasts...will keep u all posted over the months.

fs,over the moon for you mate!results look fantastic!to tell the truth i was taking my up and coming 2nd proceedure in my stride,but now ive seen your pics im getting a little excited.
anyway heal well and you know where i am if you need me.

Thx B. i really appreciated your advice, u were right about the whole experience and Dr Farjo's work. i think u will be very happy when u have completed HT2. The Farjo team does do great work and I am normally not convinced until i see things for my own eyes. all i have to do is the long wait to see how i look during the next yr or so. funny thing is that the new hairs look so impressive right now..my kids are amazed especially when i got rid of the "joker" look by trimming the sides and back..thx to the good wife :-) good luck with ur next session, cant wait to see ur weblog mate. !!

Hi Fallenstar looks good. Couple of questions 1) How was the pain post-op? Any issues? 2) Are you happy with the strip scar? Congratulations

thx Perfect Fit, i am a little surprised as I had imagined the worst but in reality, I am yet to feel any real pain in the donar area. The stitches are there and i am being careful when sleeping. Doc's orders to use few pillows and sleep at 45deg. so far so good. I have buzzed the sides and back with #4 clippers and u can just make out the scar which is very fine ~1mm.
but i am either
1) a great healer when it comes to pain or maybe i have been lucky and really not feeling any discomfort.
2) being asian background , i am not seeing the typical reddness in top or donar area thankfully.
3) The only thing i have noticed is a slight swelling on my forehead but i think is bcuz i have been up and about rather than resting. -> my fault.

i will update my weblog over the next few weeks including the strip area, Best regards...FS.

extremely clean and looks like the hairline will be very nice and obvious thanks to the very jagged style.

With what I have seen edges make even thicker hair in front seem more natural.

thx john, i hope u r right. only prblm right now is how do i explain the change when i remove my cap when seeing friends/familys..new haircut and the 3000 little beauties on top seem a little obvious :-)
scar is also well hidden....any suggestions or explanations u guys used in ur experience....i do not want to really mention the HT. only my wife&kids know the truth !

looks like nice job, what was the total cost?

Hi frog, the cost was very reasonable, i compared this with US prices which would have included flights/hotels and cost of HT.
to be honest i am very happy with what i paid to stay in UK, the Farjo team were very reasonable and also took care of accommodation for me...i am well pleased...like i said in my weblog, if i do ever consider another HT i know where i am gonna go.

i know it is cheaper in the U.S thats why i wanted to know exact cost of 3500 grafts here in uk. can you not say?

not sure if i am really meant to give exact details, will check and let u know..sorry

Fallenstar thanks for putting your story up and i know you will keep people updated with your progress.

Fallenstar's breakdown.
3426 FUT
604 1 hair
2394 2 hair
428 3-4 hair.
