the work looks good. how many grafts?

That was a total of 2768 grafts i believe.

So was this Fue or strip?

it was a strip

$4k for an fue megasession didn't sound right so this makes much more sense. why did you think you were getting fue? was it a language barrier problem? the work looks pretty good/refined. i do think 3k grafts for that large an area is a bit on the low side and you might want to add more density in the future. glad to see it all worked out for you and good growing....

I think alot of newbies get fu and fue confused. Hey the works looks good but that doesnt tell a whole lot. It does show that minis were not used and even though its not a ton a grafts the sites are fairly close together .
Bottomline its looks pretty damn good.
How much did she charge? Did you get a buddy discount?

I hope you were on propecia .You still had some hair on the top . You want to save that and possibly grow new hair and avoid potential shockloss.

pgp, yes you might be right about that confusion of terms. it does show that newbies MUST do a ton of research to really understand what they are getting themselves into. it would suck to think you're going in for fue and come out with a strip scar....

I think there was a language barrier problem there, however everything was resolved when i went there and sat down for the consultaion. She used dense packing method. I am going to wait and see how it comes out when it grows. If i like it, ill defintely go back for another procedure for density. She was SOOO serious about me taking propecia that she actually demanded i take a pill before the procedure in front of her eyes. She actually wanted to see me take it. lol. Anyway, i did get a little discount for briging another patient. Lets see, it came out to 4250$. That is everything included, 4 days and 3 nights at a wonderful resort with free food, drinks, clubs/party, beach, medications, and free transportation to the clinic and back which was over an hour away from where i stayed. Originally she wanted 4500$ so i got a little discount. The crew working on me were really nice. They made me feel right at home, but language was the only barrier.
Oh, BTW, i just pruchsed 180 pills of Finasteride 1mg so i can get back on that for my crown area and use rogaine foam. I hope that can keep me secure until im a little older and have enough for another HT. Where do you guys purchase Finaseride from? I think i got a good deal on mine.

What brand and where did you get it There are alot of fakes out there. Stay on here and please keep us informed .If your results are on par with these elite surgeons you will bring her a BUNCH of business. Those pices and all included are aewsome .Did she also send you guys a couple of escorts

I got it from 4RX.com. 180 pills for 99$ and free shipping...Yes, she provided us with escorts and a translator as well

thinman, he means a different kind of escort than you're thinking of....

As NGTGB would say bahahahahaha
Oh yeah 4rx.com seems legit

i just checked the status on that order i placed from 4rx.com..the estimated arrival time is July 8th! theyre located in the UK

What do you mean "be careful about that propecia"? You mean, it could be fake or something?

Who makes the prop , cipla ? Ht55 is just saying you should have got a scrip then went to a pharmacy and bought a 3 months supply of fin and break them into 1/4 pieces .Its cheap and you know its legit

Here are my scar pics BTW,

Thinman,

Everything looks good from your surgical photos. I encouurage you to create a hair loss weblog to document your progress and share your photos.

Hi Folks,
