TOPIC: bigwheels3535 - PMMA and Lengthening combo procedure

@newbie415- Yes that is correct.

Hey BW!

I am in the process of compiling a \"F.A.Q.\" if you will for both new and prospective PMMA patients and would appreciate your assistance. Please let me know if you\'d like to help out. Your experience is of great value. Congrats brother and I hope you get the gains you deserve! You\'ve been through a lot!

Best,

Miracle7

@Miracle - sure let me know what I can do to help

2nd appointment re-scheduled to Oct 6th!!! Cant wait.

Good luck BW!

Tomorrow is the big (excuse the pun) day. Appnt # 2. I am actually more excited about this appnt than I was the first. I think I was originally more nervous and numb to what I was doing. Now that I know what this stuff can do I am stoked to see the results i.e. corrections.
Corrections needed:1) need more PMMA rt below head (doesn\'t everyone!!)2) The RING- I have it bad!! To be honest this the only thing that is causing me anxiety- My ring feels like squid- It is really tuff/hard. I know they can inject it with a steroid that will shrink it but will it soften it up???? Thats the big question. 3) need more PMMA mid shaft - only gained .35 (base gained .75)4) ridge at base on sides and under side of shaft.
Shooting for another full session of 20cc\'s of 10%/5% PMMA
On a side note I am having a consultation withe the Gardel Group (in the same building) They do hair restoration. I was looking into Dr. Alvi Armani but his cost are crazy. These guys are great price wise and there before and afters are great! I had 2000 grafts 5 yrs ago with the Bosely Group and my results were great (undetectable) but after 5yrs my remaining non-transplanted hair has thinned so I need another session. Check out his website- www.gardelhair.com/gardelen/

Out of curiosity what are the costs for hair restoration at a clinic like that? (ballpark). Good luck with the session

This is me. Dr. Cole is amazing and very compassionate. My wife even said my hair transplant is undetectable.

MIracle_ Looks great! How much did it cost (per graft)

@ Mrdeeezy
Full session of 3000 grafts which is approx 7500 hairs at 2.5 hairs per graft, cost is approx 5-7K.

It was years ago but I payed $6.50/graft. I am very happy with my outcome.

Is that for FUE or for a strip procedure?

Not to kill bigwheels thread but I have a pretty nasty widows peak and the lower center area is actually thinning as well. However I do cycle on anabolic steroids and im afraid if i did go through with getting grafts put in. It would be a lost cause due to my continued use of anabolic steroids.. Any input via PM would be great, PM only because i dont want this thread inundated with hair messages... out of respect for bigwheels thanks

Swampman- The grafts would not be affected by the steroids- but your current hair would.

As for round 2 I received 16 cc\'s 14 @ 10% and 2 @ 5%. Looks great! I will take pics on monday. I am thinking I am going to have to do 1-2 more rounds to get size and aesthetics i want. I still have a slight ridge on the sides at the base rt before penis turns to scrotum. I also got an injection to reduce the ring (Dr. C said it will take 30 days to completely work and shrink ring) Very happy thus far.
I also received Botox from Dr C on my forehead and temp filler rt between my eyes. (I had a big divot/crease ) Looks great!

Big wheels Great results! I had half a ring and it just dissappeared so dont worry.
