	Hello everyone, I am new to this board and would like to introduce myself, my name is Eric, I am a 2x patient and now a consultant for the Armani clinic. Now, I may be new to this forum but I am certainly not new to the pain hairloss can cause and what surgery can do to do turn it around. I have had two surgeries performed by Dr. Alvi Armani and to be totaly honest I am thrilled to death with my results. My level of confidence and happiness has shot thru the roof since having my first surgery performed 14 months ago. You can see the transformation I have underwent and am still going through by clicking on my blog below. This is a very detailed description of what I have gone through. I would be happy to answer questions any of you may have regarding my experience. http://mystorypats205.blogspot.com/ My blog documents both of my surgeries on a monthly basis. All pictures are taken in my father's kitchen under pretty intense light. -PATS Pats205 has 22 Personal Journal(s).

	Hello Boris, let me answer your questions: Pats, Excellent results, what can I say that you dont know already. I have a couple of questions Id like you to answer if you could: 1. You had your first surgery where in Toronto? Yes, my first surgery was in Toronto, the 2nd surgery was in Los Angelos. The two clinics were very similar looking from the inside. I even had some of the same techs that had worked on my from my first surgery, working on me out in LA for the 2nd one! 2. Where both surgeries performed by Dr. Armani or by his trained doctor, especially regarding the LA clinic? Dr. Armani performed and oversaw both of my surgeries. He made the incisions for both, oversaw graft placement etc.... In Los Angelos, Dr. Edwards headed the exctractions with DR. Armani overseeing him. 3. What was the cost of both surgeries? My cost was a bit different because I knew up front that I would be having multiple surgeries. If you needed to discuss cost further you could email me and I could find out your options. 4. Could you elaborate more on the diff. on recovery times between the strip and FUE? I bet you were knocked down for more than a month on the strip. How long after with FUE that you were fine to get on with life? Boris, The difference between FUE and Strip recovery time was night and day. The first night after surgery after my strip procedure was difficult. The back of my head was very sore, it kept me from sleeping. Where for FUE, the first night I was very comfortable, barely any pain at all. For strip, it took me 3 weeks or so to feel normal, and even then you still have to be very careful when it comes to stretching your scar, for up to 6 months. With FUE, I was feeling almot 100% almost within days. I know that sounds quick, and I was surprised by this myself. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. My email is also provided below.

I like the way you planned out your future and integrated meds with surgical treatment. By treating the front first and then waiting for the result before proceeding, you can make sure you have the coverage you expect and want before chasing after the crown.

I am one of many people the patient may speak with, I feel I offer a different view then most,I feel I can relate to the patient on a more personal level because I have been through the surgery myself.

	A consultant has NEVER given me any advice that could be termed "medical" advice. The surgeon has ALWAYS decided on the number of grafts and placement and every other aspect of the procedure that is medical in nature. What do you consider "medical" advice?

	I think that the major difference is the number of grafts per procedure. The PLACEMENT method is the SAME in both types of procedures - only the extraction method differs. FUE is much more labor intensive. True, you can get much more work done in a strip procedure. You don't see all that many REPEAT FUE patient's results because they have not gone back for additional work that would fill in the gap between the possible number of strip grafts versus FUE. Graft-for-graft, FUE results are no different than strip results.

	I can't wait to see how the fue grafts turn out for you. Everybody says there shouldn't be a difference between fue and strip but in reality the difference is night and day. Fue results never seem to measure up to strip . I can't explain why. reiner is located in [NA] and he is available to meet: NO

	Craig, Who better to have answering your questions and concerns as a patient then someone who has already been trough it all? I started out as a potential patient just as most others on this forum. I spent alot of time reading, doing my research, contacting patients who had gone through and had their results etc.... Now that I have been through two surgeries and am very pleased with my results, I am happy to share what I have learned. Pats205 has 22 Personal Journal(s).

	They see a good thing, maybe? The proof is in the results. Pats205 is certainly not what I would call a youngster going for the hairline of a teenager, as others claim of Armani's work. I have seen excellent results from Armani for ALL ages.

	What s the deal with Dr. Armani and his patient-consultants? It seems that many patients eventually ended up working as his consultants. craig is located in [NA] and he is available to meet: NO
Pats205 13.05.2008, 13:08 @ BALDIE42	Do you expect to have further transplants? Post reply
	Baldie, As you can see from my before pictures, I had a very large area to cover. Dr. Armani and I came up with a plan that would be a long term solution. The first surgery would be to rebuild the hairline and get nice covereage on the top trying to get back towards the crown as much possible. Surgery #2 would be for the crown. That is where I am at right now. We did discuss a possibke need for a 3rd surgery later down the road, this would be any touch up I need in zone 3, but this would be much later down the road..... I am currently on Proscar, I have been for 2+ years and it has done a great job halting my hairloss. I raerly see any hairs shed anymore. If things stay the same as they are now I should be all set. If the meds do not work forever and I do start to thin I will go back for a 3rd transplant. Here is my current graft breakdown below: Hairline - 2,000 GraftsZone 2 - 1,060 GraftsZone 3 - 900 GraftsCrown - 2,500 Grafts Total - 6,460 Grafts Pats205 has 22 Personal Journal(s).

	Hey Johnp, I understand, as a middle aged man a more mature hairline would be much more suitable. Check out this result below, this is an Armani patient with a very nice rebuilt mature hairline.
