Patient KA's hair transplant review

About

Started losing my hair in my early 20's, it just slowly begun eating me up.. Going the pub and being so paranoid all the time was horrible.

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.

My Latest journal entries

Bald class: 4

Procedure 1

9 months 9 months on. I wanted to wait and put something positive but Nothing to smile about yet. Can't begin to tell you how devastated I am. The thing is, there is plenty of hair in those areas, it's just so dam thin. Maybe the hairs aren't fully grown? They're still whisby. I don't think I did anything wrong I was very careful? Time will tell

Bald class: 4

Procedure 1

6 Month Trying to stay positive, but it's really thin and it hasn't improved since month 4.

Bald class: 4

Procedure 1

5 months Month 5. Definitely worried now. I've seen no progress from month 4 to 5, the hairs are all still wispy and weak.. I'm going to be devastated if this is the end result. I've lost loads on my crown since the op I don't know what to say. Only small positive thing I'm thinking about, before the op, my hair always grew slow, I used to shave to a number 3 and it would never get long at the back or sides for months.. I just hope that's why it's taking so long. I've seen many of dr Paths patients with great hair at month 5/6 I was hoping for the same.. Can't see much happening in 4 weeks.

Bald class: 4

Procedure 1

4 Months Hair looks better than the pictures, it's a little thicker than it looks.. Still early days though, really want to see some positive growth.. The scar is 90% gone, 10% of pinkness remains so that's good. Only problem, before I started this I had a small bald spot on my crown, it's doubled in size! Hope it's just shock loss and grows back

Bald class: 4

Procedure 1

3 Months 3 months on from my HT with Dr Pathomvanich and things are looking the way they should at this stage going off the other journals from Dr Path.. My scar has still not gone down in terms of redness, that's a concern New hair sprouting everyday, I just hope it comes thick and fast!

Bald class: 4

Procedure 1

2 Months Feels good getting 2 months in the bank. The hairs are growing through the scar and making it hard to notice anything has been done.. Although the pinkness is still there.. I've noticed a few little hairs coming through but it's too early yet.. I just want to get this hat off! But that's only a couple of weeks away I reckon. I just hope the front hairs are thick and match the middle section.

Bald class: 4

Procedure 1

1 Month Although it's week 5, these pictures are 1 month post op.. All looks good so far, I'm amazed at how good the scar is after only 4 weeks, I can only spot it because its pink, once that goes away and the hair grows back ill never find it.. Getting in a good routine now and the weeks are flying by.. I've had a lot of shock loss on the crown area, it's never this thin.. Hope it grows back!

Bald class: 4

Procedure 1

Day 12 post op scabbs are disappearing. Doesn't look very dence Now it's just the hair.. please comment

Bald class: 4

Procedure 1

2 weeks post op 2 weeks since my HT, I thought that was the hard part.. I was wrong. sick of wearing a hat already, I shaved my head thinking it would look better, it looks worse! However, the scar is healing well and the top of my head is clean.. Dragging though, wish I could fast forward 6 months.....

Bald class: 4

Procedure 1

Day 8 post op The mild discomfort I had in the doner area has completely gone now the stitches have been removed, "no infection, grafts good" - that's all I wanted to hear Dr!

Bald class: 4

Procedure 1

Day 10 post op After staying in my hotel all week with the Air conditioning on I feel its helped dry up my scalp faster, I didn't expect 'shedding' to happen so soon. If anyone could advise me it would help.. Little paranoid..
