I went a barbers on my way home from work once, he completely fucked it up! I had no choice but to shave it all off. Tried to embrace it I really did..went the pub, I left after 1 pint I nearly had a panic attack it was horrendous..

that was mid-November and I spent all Christmas at home 'ill' 

I decided enough is enough, I couldn't carry on like this. I searched the web and found this website, it was really comforting seeing people giving advise and sharing there hairloss experiences. 

I'm going to Bangkok this weekend (10may-2013) and having my HT with Dr Pathomvanich. If you're going to do it do it right! Don't try and save money with a shit doctor you'll live to regret it. 

Dr Pathomvanich is one of the best in the world I'm in good hands with him.

Wish me luck.

It worked ok but i really wanted to be able to be able to walk around without a hat or beanie on.

The strange thing is at work, i have never worn a hat or anything and i felt fine with that, but more when i go out i just didnt like the no hair look. People around me kept on saying i looked fine, and i may have looked ok to them but not to myself.

I really was scared to try taking anything for it, mainly because i felt it was too far gone.

by the time i was 25 i started looking at hair transplants, and started enquiring on the costs of doing the procedure.

now at 26 i have had my first transplant and am hoping it will look as good as it does now when the new hairs grow!

I have had a total of three hair restoration surgeries. I had my first two surgeries approximately 10 years ago.  The first two procedures left me with poor results.  Grafts were poorly angled and did not appear to be natural with enough density.
  Also, two donor scars were created in the donor area from first two procedures.

Dr. Robert Thomas- Chicago  
2002 440 grafts 
2003 580 grafts 

July of this year, I had another procedure to correct prior surgery and create natural density.  I went to Matt Leavitt in Orlando FL. 

Dr. Matt Leavitt 
2012 1964 grafts

I am looking forward to my results.  This is a timeline from this past surgery from Dr. Leavitt with photos and comments. 

Enjoy!

using new methods?   Looking for recommendation for best possible hair transplant surgeon

in New York City, preferably in the Lower West Side (Greenwich Village area).  is there any?

Don’t wait any longer. All of your fears, concerns, and anxiety can be cured by visiting Dr. Charles.

I will update this section soon.

Due to the Proscar I've been able to maintain decent coverage, mostly because my hairline has held very well. Its been thin behind the hairline for a while but with Toppik and a little bit of stylng I've been able to pull it off and most people think I've got a full head of hair.

Over the last six months however, it became more and more apparnt that if I wanted this facade to contiunue I'd need some more material to work with - so, after about 10 years of research I booked an appointment with Dr Wong of Hasson and Wong. The goal was to simply add more density to my thinning areas.

Next step was to remove it and try and acceptmy hair loss. this lasted about a week until i bought a baseball cap.

this was 23 years ago, and I know this might sound silly, but right up until two days ago i was still wearing baseball caps.
