Hello,
it's been 7 months since the day of surgery, set new hope towards a full hair restoration which I dreamed of it over 18 years of the relentless battle against my hair loss.
Finally I found the hand to bring cure!
in my early stages like everyone panic of his first hairs pulled in the brush, in the towel or left on the pillow, starts to do everything just to stop it! and again like everyone I've started with snakeoils, vitamins.....etc. Sure nothing worked. That time there wasn't the poison/propecia yet in the market to try it at that age!
At 28 I started with Minoxidil, the first 4 months I was happy, in 6 months I started to lose some of newly grown hairs. But I must say it helped me a bit so I continued with it up to date, I'm 39 now. During this long and sever period of time I continue to run to the pharmacy as soon as I hear/see any ad. of some new product with rubbish before and after pics. I was born and killed every time with every new product! You live the hope over 4 to 6 months sleep with it, wake up with it..... at the end you reach the crash point. The massive emotional impact deepened day by day spoiling my life, resulted in, me hypertensive, addicted on sleeping pills and a lot more. Since my teenage I started to attract tons of chicks, I used to cherish my appearance! All cheers faded and too early, I've poured lot of tears, but all in vain.
In my 34 I started to look in the surgery solution as a final resort! that time I lived in Kuwait so I started to search and read I've ended with some Doctor in Turkey picked his name of one of the forums, I was naive enough to plan a surgery by him, flied to Istanbul get butchered by him the next day, it was the classic strip method with +2500 FUs, flied back to Kuwait with a big pain in the head, but with new hope!.....After 6 months.... nothing, 8,9, 1year, 18 months.... also nothing. I felt it was the end, really I wished to die. Lots of people in some other forums strongly blamed me as I'm a diffuse thinner so a shock loss is more potential in my case, I got some but didn't add much to my sorrow!
I've started with propecia according to people's advice at the forums. 3 years later low erection and less body hair but no improvement in the scalp, balding continued.
Shave it? and forget about it, as many people say! I know it doesn't go with my face, however, I did it, but the scar in the back was terrible!
I did everything possible but nothing!! I'm still not convinced and can't be accept the fact that am bald, I hate look in the mirror, avoid lights, shops mirrors bring lot of sadness and tension, I want to do something but what can I do hairpiece?! it's funny and of course unnatural! spraying my head black... What exactly can I do?! But I must do.
I lost my job in Kuwait and according to the political and security circumstances in my country (Iraq), I left to Belgium, I Know that many well-reputed hair transplant doctors based in this country. So, I've started to think again of the surgical solution with lot of skepticism due to the fact of non-growth. The high cost also can make it unaffordable. I’ve started my researches over Docs here, I’ve highlighted 3 names ad fixed consultation dates. The Docs were; Devroye, ********, Feriduni.
The first consultation was with Dr.Devroye, he was not convincing at all, he told me about two cases of his patients with no growth after surgery, honestly I was scared and I have the right to be, I have experience with it! And also I didn’t like the way he dealed with me he had no time to hear and answer all of my questions, so I put an X
Now I have 2 names. The next consult. was with Dr.********, I can say he was attentive and he answered all of my questions. However he couldn’t eliminate my fears! And I was scared to read one or two stories of his unhappy patients!
The 3rd With Dr.Feriduni he was really nice guy and welcoming, we talked about everything and his attitude is very encouraging to talk to him about all of your concerns. I left with comfort, he was confidant of his job and the most what I really liked, I felt he was willing to help.
I fixed another consult. With him just to be sure before deciding, and as I wished my feelings were confirmed, moreover I felt that he was thinking as it was his problem, offering many options.
The grand decision;
With no hesitance, we planned a hair transplant with dr.Feriduni, it was strip to correct the scar and small number of BHT as a test, to find new donor source rather than my exhausted scalp!
The grafts number extracted were around 1400 + 200 BHT from chest + 20 beard H
The surgery went smoothly and the post-op following up by the Doctor and his staff was also excellent. But I must say that the ladies just all women they like to talk and chat together and for long time it was a bit annoying but it was just wanted them to finish their job.
The way of healing then the shedding of grafted hair everything went as I was informed, so the early signs were perfect, I had the feeling of growth is coming!
This surgery was followed by a minor one of 200 FUE scalp + 200 beard.
In about the 4[SUP]th[/SUP] month –of the 1[SUP]st[/SUP] op- I started to detect some result and some hairs coming out, I was glad with every new hair sprouting, I wished that I had more hairs to transplant to cover all of my head, the Doctor has reconstructed my hairline and filled in my right temple as it was empty more than the left side. The bad thing was the scar as I developed a hypertrophic scar, it was fine in two weeks post-op but tended to be itching and there was redness and later it started swelling, but I’m not really scared, the doctor is very reliable and promised to solve it out with him, I’m undergoing some treatment in his clinic and things going better.
He also promised to work together until the full restoration, I really like him, and I’m glad so far with lot of hopes ahead!
It's been 7 months by now.
