You had inspired me to get the lassix done but they kept turning me down. It turns out that cataract surgery is much different than it used to be... now they install lens with your prescription in it and you don't need glasses... I will be wearing one contact and then getting my other cataract done. Just wanted to tell you I missed you and wanted to share my eye adventures too!! janet Hi,

The cosmetic results are excellent, but the scar has stretched and it has raised. It forms a 'barrier' in the back of my head, which gives the nerves and bloodvessels one hell of a time to regrow back into each other (from above and beneath the scar). When I want to these HT-guys, they told me the scar was going to be pencilthin. However, it has itched and hurt for years. I've head 'dead spots' on my head for years as well. After doing some research, I have found out that this is quite common. Had I known this, chances are I would have never gone through with it. Just recently my scar is getting to a point where it no longer bothers me very often. I have also found something that seems to work in healing scartissue (TriReduction with copper peptides from www.scar-reduction.com). Furthermore, I have recently had a talk with the guys that gave me my HT, and they have promised me to, in the future and without cost, fill up the bold strip of skin in the back of my head with a hairrestoration method in which new follicles are created. Such a technique is not yet available in clinics, but recent developments in non-invasive hairrestoration have been exiting. I expect baldness to go out the window permanently in a few years, as non-invasive and cheaper techniques (where lots of hairs can be created at once) will become available. Anyway... the further this experience is behind me, the better I feel. This was, however, the first AND last time that I have ever had invasive cosmetic surgery. From now on, all I'll have are non-invasive bodyupgrades ONLY. No more cutting. And no lasering either. I've read the horror stories about laser eye victims. I think I'll learn from THEIR mistakes, instead. I'm glad though that it turned out okay for you, Marc. Just my two cents. Jay Marc,

When I want to these HT-guys, they told me the scar was going to be pencilthin. However, it has itched and hurt for years. I’ve head ‘dead spots’ on my head for years as well. After doing some research, I have found out that this is quite common. Had I known this, chances are I would have never gone through with it.
