Long time, no post, just a quick update. Though some creative extensions, several hair transplants and over a two decades of meds, I am no longer worrying about my hair. This being said, I have recently (finally) lost most of the excess weight I was carrying and had crazy (probably temporary)...

hehe, no offence taken, I don't really think you're a bastard :) - - - Updated - - - Yes, though I also take finasteride (and dutasteride for a while too) along with androcur. Thanks for the lovely comments too. I didn't have much breast growth with the hormones, but a recent boob job sorted...

Hello :) As far as I can tell I grew back hair that I had lost in the 5 - 10 years prior to starting medication, I have transsexual friends who recovered what appears to be far more hair than me who started treatment much sooner into the male pattern baldness 'journey'. My theory is that medication can reverse...

Just got out theatre from having the strip removed. The techs are harvesting the hair grafts and I'm eating a sandwich. Not looking forward to the next part where each incision sounds 'crunchy' like walking on snow x

Hello all, long time no post. Just a little update to say that I'm going for another transplant tomorrow with Dr. Rogers in London. As with the last time I'm going to be live-blogging and posting photographs during the procedure, there will also be updates on my Facebook and Twitter feeds :)...

Even if it is vanity, so what? If it makes you happy and it's not harming anyone then go for it :)

Dr. Rogers owns and works from the Westminster Clinic (http://www.westminsterclinic.co.uk/), he works mainly from his Harley Street clinic in London. I short-listed Dr. Rogers because of recommendations from this very forum, made a list of 5 surgeons and from them decided he was the one for me...

Yes, I have never shaved my hair for a procedure and after having consults with most of names you'll see popping up, only a handful are skilled enough or have a technical team able to confidently and consistently give good results without shaving the area. With that said, it's still a better...

I had my procedures with Dr. Rogers, he will also be performing my third soon. All of my procedures have been FIT / strip, for me its the best option. I've had about 5,000 grafts so far and as Dr. Rogers has such high yields and is amongst the best in the world with his technique I get a *lot*...

Sadly, most of what you'll read about all UK surgeons being bad is nonsense. Yes, there are some poor surgeons here, but every country in the world has poor surgeons (I've had two procedures in the UK and am about to have a third). With that being said, there is no harm is broadening your...

I think it was my inbox being full, the new forum private mail seems to be tiny compared to the old one. I've deleted the contents of mine now so you should be able to PM me.

Ben's right, and new techniques also tend to be quite niche for a long time before enough surgeons get to practice their techniques and it becomes a viable mainstream procedure. Take FUE for example, as a technique it is now in decline with many of the better surgeons while strip continues to...

It's probably just the upheaval of the new forum software, it's pretty common when forums change as much as it has here. Fingers crossed he comes back, SAF and I didn't always agree, but I always liked him :)

Thank you, post me your @twitter and I'll follow you right back :)

Hi Tommy, I *think* it's common, I believe I experienced the same thing. Even up to about 20 months after my transplants I noticed some hairs were just a bit weird, strange texture, not really growing etc. After about 2 years though pretty much everything looks and feels normal. Are you...
