Fallenstar,

Thanks for creating a posting a link back to your weblog. I took the liberty of modifying your signature to display more detailed information about your surgery.

I look forward to following your journey and seeing your continued participation on our discussion forum.

Falc

hi Falc/Pat..i want to firstly advise that my weblog has been updated with some more pics as promised.
secondly, i think Farjo MC was great descision for me, am really pleased with their work and feel that there is some nasty elements of unfair comment/views from certain members of this great forum. i am in favor to airing ones view but some threads are going a little to far and tiresome on negative feedback toward UK surgeons but i am total disagreement on comments towards Farjo dr's. they are great advocates for this field and i think their work is at the level of the coalition. from what i have seen they are so busy that i wonder whether if they have time to respond :-)

Fallenstar,

Thank you for keeping your weblog up to date.

I agree that you have had a first rate experience with Dr. Farjo and I know many people will be following your progress intently to see how it all turns out.

Though I agree that some members may take things too far, I can certainly understand why many members are reluctant to believe that there are some good clinics like Farjo in the UK. The truth is, the majority of the work performed in the UK is sub-par at best and many have been hacked and butchered by varying clinics. The Farjo clinic has come a long way and we believe they produce quality work today! I believe with time and patient posted experiences and results such as yours will be, that things will change over time.

Falc

Thx Falc, i agree with you. although everyone is different and results will vary but in the end, the proof in in final result and I hope that more Farjo patients will join this forum and increase the no of experiences/photos so that prospective HT brothers can gain confidence in selecting a particular surgeon.
anyway, keep up the great work..!

fs your results look very promising and i truly hope they turn out well for you and if farjo has moved to the next level i hope he contacts unhappy patients and offers help.
people aren`t being negative to farjo soley but the uk in general,
if dr farjo came on here and addressed some of the comments made by myself and others ,what has he or indeed mrs farjo got to loose
thanks i`m off to bed quite tiddly

Looks great. Dr. Farjo did an excellent job and you will be very pleased. As to what to tell people who might ask what happened to your scalp if you do not want anyone to know. I usually tell my patients to tell them you have seborrhea or psoriasis, a benign scalp condition that leads to flakiness and scaling. YOur dermatologist is treating it. Yes, its not the same and doesn't look exactly like that. However, I believe if you quickly give a plausible answer, they are more likely to accept it and forget about it and move in.

thx Dr.M, i am back to work on next week after 3 weeks and i think i will be ok, as most of the new grafts will have shed by then. i will look like normal pre-HT appearance..., the scar is healing slowly and my existing hair is just about doing the job of concealing it ;-)
Now the long and painful wait that i was dreading..but also a little excited to see new hair one by one :-)
Thx for your comments and advice...talk soon!

Fallenstar,

The picture sof your scar posted on your weblog and photo album looks first rate.

Do you have pictures of your scar you can post from the back also?

Falc

hi falc, hope u r well. i have just added some more wk3 pics, showing the scar from all angles and lighting. shedding has taken place as expected. i know how most of the brothers feel at this stage...was looking nice with the new puppies..ah well...now i will try and enjoy the next 5/6 months for signs of new hair.
br, fs

Fallenstar,

Thank you for posting an update. Your donor scar is concealed nicely even with very short hair. Though your hair density has something to do with this, it is clear that Dr. Farjo did an excellent job on your donor scar.

I can see most of your transplanted hairs have shed as well which is normal for 3 weeks post op.

Keep us posted!

Falc

Well, i remember when I was 3 month away from having my HT during summer. Now it has been 3 months since having the HT done.....and boy am I happy !!!!!

I thought i would share my results now at 3 months. I did not expect to see much difference but I have had a hair cut - short back & sides :-D
thx to the better half , feels liberating to see a nice frame forming around my face !

Anyway before I get carried away, pls feel free to comment on progress so far.

Balody, see at the finishing line ;-) only kidding dude. talk soon.

fs,itsa coming my friend,itsa coming!and you know what that means im 3 weeks behind so roll on valentines day.(which incidently will be the 2nd anniversary of my first proceedure)sorry im stealing your thunder,your looking great mate!

Thx B. normally i don't get shocked/excited to easily but u know i am amazed at my results in a short space of time! i think u mentioned something bfor about hair characteristics and skin complexion, i think i will get good results based on this. so for all those brothers in the UK....there is hope for us!
finally, i think u will also be a happy geeza later this year, with a full head of hair...no more worries about hair loss !
happy growing to U too matey!

be prepared to get even more excited fs,you have probably only 20/30% growth so far!

FallenStar,

Looking great so far my friend. You are still only at the beginning of your journey. The next several months will be exciting for you.

Remember to avoid mirrors for awhile though. Otherwise, the impatience troll will get you like it typically gets all of us.

Keep us posted.

Falc

thx Falc, u r right about the mirror thing...very difficult not to look. but every day now, looking better & better :-D
FS

fs,

You are looking pretty good for only 3 months. As Falc and other have mentioned, avoid looking at the mirror if possible at all. This is a very gradual process and if you don't have patience, you get discouraged. I am still getting ingrown hair pimples which is def. a good sign . I just got one in my hairline yesterday. So sttuff surely are happening.

Happy growing to you.

KamCal

Fallenstar,

Looking great for 3 months. This will only get better for you. Enjoy the journey.

just wanted to say u were right, from 3months, i am seeing great things happening and couldn't stop myself from putting a few new mugshots at 14 weeks.

let me know what u think..
will keep u posted,

FS
