    Is it painful to have hair transplant?

    yeah it hurts. i had FUE - the injections in the back of the head were unexpectedly painful, but, what are you gonna do... the recipient site has had a heap of little slits in it and something 'foreign' (the follicle) stuffed into them - it's not really painful, but it is pretty tender for a...

    How many have used Dr Umar

    well, i finished the second of my two days of surgery with Dr Umar yesterday and am laying low in my hotel room for the next couple of days til i leave for home (Australia). My swelling and black-eyed-ness is fairly discrete at the moment so i'm hoping it doesn't get much worse and starts to go...

    How many have used Dr Umar

    well i've got my surgery booked with Umar in about 3 weeks. I agree that abedog's progress at month 8 isn't what i was hoping it would be as an example of umar's work. but i have seen other patients of his with very good results. maybe i'm just trying to be optimistic...time will tell i guess

    haha well that's discouraging, but good to know at least.

    time off work?

    i'm trying for about 3 weeks off work after mine. the redness is really the only thing i'm worried about and have started thinking of things i should have on hand in the hope that it may speed up healing/cut down on redness. things like copper peptide products (probably graftcyte pack)...

    How many have used Dr Umar

    2000 grafts, i'm not sure how much lower, I will ask what he thinks, but looking at the results of others, i'm guess around 1-1.5 from that number

    How many have used Dr Umar

    in my email correspondence with Dr Umar, he has been really helpful and polite. He seems genuinely interested in the welfare of patients and potential patients. I'm pretty much set on Dr Umar now (to be honest, i hadn't even realised Rahal was strip only...i just got caught up looking at the...

    How many have used Dr Umar

    after having a look at his hairlines, i didn't think they were really up to the level of Umar's and others to be honest.

    How many have used Dr Umar

    yeah i guess that is kind of what i'm after. the top of my forehead has always been like that believe it or not and the corners of my hairline have probably only lost around 5mm or less all in all, so i really just want to shape the top/front down and fill in the corners and bring the whole...

    How many have used Dr Umar

    I'm thinking of traveling from Australia and getting around 2000 grafts with Dr Umar... It looks like it's going to cost me around $22K AUD and so I'm a bit reluctant/worried about if that is my best option. The other option I was looking at was Dr Rahal in Canada... The hair i want...
