  1. I've had some streaks as well, thinner though. Check ur PM
  2. If it was not mentioned already, Dr. Sethi uses the PCID tool.
  3. Pkk: I know for FUE, you should not do much (in terms of applying things) for 10-14 days. Grafts are in after 3 days, but 10-14 days should be safe before putting product. Check with the DR though if you can.
  4. It is looking better now. Hopefully it is completely gone (can't really notice it anymore and I'd have to shave to find out).
  5. While informative, what this video fails to acknowledge is that some clinics that have demonstrated home run successes time and time again use motorized punch tools, namely PCID. How much does Feller charge for a manual punch procedure? As I recall $11/graft was a few years ago for his motorized assisted procedure. One can only assume, due to his statements of non motorized procedures requiring more time and effort, that it is greater than $11 per graft. While he is perfectly entitled to charge what he wishes, the point - is that practical for most folks to spend? I'm sure a great salesmen type rebuttal to that would be, "what is the value of your appearance," or "what is the value of your confidence." After years of shifting through lots of data on here, studying pictures, reading on different forums, in the end I realized one thing: the HD videos, HD pictures, and in person results 1 year+ later, in other words the OUTPUT of a clinic is what counts at the end of the day. Everything else is B.S. Those of us that live in the U.S. know that malpractice insurance is high for a reason here- doctors are commonly held accountable for their actions. That is not the case in Belgium or Turkey. Patients do not have strong rights and medical qualifications in order to open up shop in those countries have lower bars than in the U.S. So for those of us Americans that wish to preserve our right to sue (and actually win - which incentivizes U.S. doctors to do well) and get it done in the U.S. what are we left with? If that or the higher medical bar in the U.S. is not an important consideration for someone, and the numerous well documented cases of successful patients/in person meetings with former patients instills sufficient confidence to where the legal or medical component becomes a moot point - great for them. It seems to me that, while most of us on here are well aware that manual FUE is the gold standard for FUE, it is not easily attainable in the U.S. Practically speaking, if manual FUE prices were to drop in the U.S., it would not be in a place like NYC, rather probably out of a lower cost of living (southern?) state that is able to find talent amongst at a lower wage. On the point of medical qualifications, I have visited and thoroughly researched a number clinics around the world and I will say that the most medically qualified individual I have probably met his Dr. Konior out of Chicago. I am tremendously impressed with his medical qualifications, almost OCD obsession he is known to have for his work, and the fact he does it all by himself. Just wish he did manual FUE.
  6. After years of posting on this forum, and 16 years posting on various other forums with the same username, I finally got an HT done (FUE) a few days ago. I will share more details, photos, impressions, etc. soon rest assured. But in the meantime, I wanted to know if other patients have experienced wavy/wrinkle patch in the donor area as shown in the picture. The rest of the head was also used as donor, but this one patch has this wrinkle look. Photo taken today, post op day 5. I am sleeping upright with a neck pillow. Am applying bacitrain. Will it go away or anything I can do about the wrinkles?
  7. Hey Sean, In reply to your question on the other forum, it states (paraphrased) "I agree not to take Dr. X or clinic to court, instead I agree to pursue this through arbitration" Did Dr. R require it? Thanks
  8. I just put down a deposit on a surgeon recommended by this website. AFTER putting down the deposit, I was provided paperwork along with an arbitration agreement. I understand this may restrict or diminish my ability to pursue legal action against the clinic. Is this usual or common? Clinic is U.S. based. Please respond asap as I have only a day or two to cancel without losing the deposit if necessary. Thank you
  9. Hey Sean, Have you consulted with Dr. Diep out of San Fran? His results seem good. Interested in anyone's take on that surgeon.
  10. Good growing Scooter. Thanks again for the feedback the other day. You have just crossed the halfway point, i think your going to have an awesome result.
  11. Questionmark: I found some examples of the not so perfect hairline I was referring to. The first one, in particular. I cant put my finger on it but it doesnt look feathered or that natural. I'd like to hear everyones thoughts. Why do some of the results look very natural and some like in the above videos?
  12. Questionmark: i want to somewhat take back what I said. I saw your latest photos and I think your hairline looks good. I think before I said fair. It looks natural to me, and if I wanted to get an FUE procedure, I would seriously consider Dr. B. Very good results from a motorized punch. I'm impressed overall. I think seeing more patients in person, or perhaps even a video with your hair sans product would seal my so far positive impression. I would be happy if I were you (I'm sure you are!)
  13. Does Dr. K use manual punch tools or motorized? Do you what size punch(es) were used? Good luck
  14. Implication being that your larger procedure had you shaved down. Was that per doctor's orders, or was the need for shaving down simply never discussed pre-op?
