Occurs when the connecting bridge of hair disappears leaving a single large bald area on the front and top of the scalp. The hair on the sides of the scalp remains relatively high.

I was definitely not happy with my first transplant which was done by doctor siddiky from Bangladesh. As a result I went for second one and this time i chose doctor pathomvanich.

Bald class: 5
Procedure 1

6 MONTHS UPDATE ITS BEEN SIX MONTHS!!! I have uploaded some photos. Each of those have 4 different snaps that will help you to see the visible effects. As I am 28, my expectation is little too high so I am not that excited yet...:P...However, I understand until and unless I get another transplant done and cover the crown part, I will not be that satisfied. If I compare the photos of the recent one with the after surgery photo, I think I lost at least 10% of the transplanted hair..:(...Please let me know what you think...Any kind of feedback will be muchly appreciated...Thank you

Procedure 1

1 month update nothing much to cherish. Ofcourse its just a month. I started to loose the transplanted hair as expected. However, I still have some which is not a bad thing i suppose. One important thing, I am taking minoxidil tablets. I dont have much side effect at all except I am getting a bit of body hair. I will be interesting to see the effect after few more months.

Procedure 1

2 weeks update heavy crust I got heavy crust. I contacted Dr. Path and i was told to use olive oil and gently rub it. I guess Im still scared to rub it. Im taking minoxidil tablets 5mg and propecia as well. See if it improves my crown area at all.

My FUT with Dr. Path 3040 grafts Brief about my hair loss history i have been losing hair for almost 8 or 9 years. I used  miinoxidil, had laser, took propecia but I never continued and as a result i lost almost all of my hair and im now in category VI. Last year i decided to go for a  hair transplant in Bangladesh. One of my relatives, a dermatologist recommended me to get it done in Bangladesh. Cut the long story short, they didnt have any plans whatsoever and finally they claimed that they planted 2000 grafts. some of the photos that i previously posted suggest how bad it was. i was pretty hopeless. Toppik helped me a lot to go to different social gatherings. However, finally i joined this forum and got different recommendations and straight away i picked Dr Path. The reasons are his reputation and  It’s a convenient location for me since i live in Sydney.  Here is a little brief given below and i welcome all feedbacks please. Just over 3000 grafts were transplanted. The doctor could not get any more since its my second transplant. My luxity was good. Just to let you know i had been doing scalp massage for over a month before the surgery as i was suggested by doctor Path. day before surgery I went to see doctor Path for consultaion. Dr Ovamon came and explained everything. I filled up a form. Dr Path came and checked my hair and the scar from the previous surgery. He spent few minutes with me explaining what can be done and how much area can be covered. He and I agreed that density is my priority and i can always come back for another one if my donar area permits. He had to do a repair job as well. Day Arrived at 9AM. straight away, i was taken to a room for HIV test and later Dr path came with a frame which helped him to draw the hairline. i was impressed to see that. it has a laser bim. he drew the lines and explained how he cannot bring the lines more down..i was happy with it. Without any delay i was taken to the surgery room and strips from the back of my head were taken off. The whole team was so good and caring that they made sure pain was minimal. Some sleeping pills were provided and i fell asleep a couple of times. Before i knew they transplanted 3000+ grafts and the pictures are given below.
