Thats what I think also Gorby.

My hairs remained after the crusts fell off. So 8 days post op I have no crusts and all of my 1900 little hairs. From about day 10 to day 23, about 1500 of my little transplanted hairs have fallen out. Then today, I noticed a lot of tiny tiny tiny stubble. I assume these are hairs breaking...

I am 23 days post op. 1900 grafts into frontal half. Lost all scabs by 5 days post op. I looked normal 8 days post op. I lost approximately 1500 grafts from day 10 to present. My question is that I just looked in the mirror and I have hundreds of extremely small hairs BARELY sticking...

Just wanted to give a quick update and ask for opinions if anyone has them. I am either getting a Shapiro or Cole Strip in early 2007. I am also slightly considering a Cole FIT. I am in my 30's and a Norwood 4. I will most likely end up a Norwood 6. I considered a Cole FIT but I just think for...

Thanks guys - I am really close to going forward and i am having the typical doubts/concerns. But then I think that there really aren't any (very few) complaints about these top docs and why should I be concerned about marginal results when it seems like these few top docs are putting out...

I am going to go about this another way. It seems to be very difficult to find ANY negative remarks regarding these doctors. These doctors maybe do a combined 1000 surgeries a year. It seems like they are putting out great results EVERY time. I am considering using them for my transplant...

My question is is there a difference between the results of the top strip doctors or has it got to the point that the top strip doctors have basically mastered the technique and the results are basically the same? More specifically, is there any difference between the results of Hasson, Wong...

I am not Gillenator but it is my opinion that the trico closure makes the scar LESS visible. This was a concern of mine as I am preparing for surgery but I now have ZERO concern about a Strip scar after seeing the scars from the top docs. I literally have trouble spotting it even digging my...

I have concluded (and I may be wrong) but that the FUE/FIT technology is over rated. I have personally seen a number of strip patients and their scars are either non factors and literally not noticeable (with 1/2 or so long hair). I literally dug through their hair and couldn't find it...

Gillenator - Thanks for the reply. Some follow up questions and comments Is there much evidence that the results in the recipient areas using FUE or Strip is better than the other. Again, I know it has to do with extraction but if I read comments that people say that the results of FUE...

I have just decided after 5 years of considering my options to go forward with surgery. I will most likely be having it done in January of 2007. I am now trying to decide on which doctor to use and which type of extraction. I was originally leaning towards FUE/FIT but now I am strongly...

Thanks FC After the 3 weeks period of fairly severe scabs, can you go out in public and people not notice anything going on on your head? Could you be around close friends/family and people not notice anything? How long until you are close to an unnotceable state? Thanks

I have been reading the boards for a few years and rarely post. I am a 31 year old Norwood 3.5 who has been thinking about getting a transplant for five years or so. I was considering not telling anyone about my surgery. (maybe my brother). My question is is this possible? Assume I could...
