Can you post pictures in real light. These pictures always look good in dim light

Looks great! Did Dr. Feller implant the hairs himself, or did his staff do most of the work?

Can someone explain what the "Stick and Place" technique means? I see this term often on this website

What is meant by "stick-in-place"? MarkyMark

Looks great Drew35....do you feel you have more growth to come?

Yes Armani should refund. That's all you can ask for. Unless he can make hairs grow majically.

Stingray, did Dr. Armani himself do the surgery back when, or was it his technicians? Hope you get better results with this one!

Badger_01: Your hair looks great! One of the best transformations I've seen on the site. I'm praying that I will have more thickening as you say from this point (11 months post-op). Did you notice anything from month 15 to 18? MarkMark

I'm smelling red flag as well...

I think dpanet you just hit the nail on the head for me. I've been coming on this site for over a year and every now and then I comment on the message boards. But to be quite honest I know if I post pictures and my story things will get off topic just like they are with this thread. I'm very concerned with my progress and have been for quite sometime. Pats205....I do realize that those who have crown transplants should wait 18 months for full results, and maybe I do have some growth to come. However to get the look you achieved I will have to do some serious sprouting from this point. I just don't think it's likely. That is why I've asked for your 10 month photos so I can compare but I guess you don't have them. M&M....I do have photos, too many actually. I will put it all together so everyone can see. I hate it too when people comment without photos, but like I've said my main hesitation is that things will get off topic. I'm self conscious enough about my hair loss and putting my photos out there when your not happy with the results thus far and everyone hates the doctor you chose.........well sometimes I think what's the point. I will try to do this soon MarkyMark 2000 grafts (crown) Alvi Armani

dpanet, I also had crown work done last April with Dr. Armani. The results are very poor up until this point and I'm at 11 months. Not much change for me from month 7 to 11. I hope you have better success. markymark

Time to do something, Everyones experience is different when using finasteride. Personally I've tried propecia 3 seperate times in the last 12 years, each for about 2 months and the effects of the drug made it impossible for me to continue. I've tried 3 times because a.) I thought it was all in my head, b.) I thought over time or as I age things would get better or change. I think the amount of people experiencing "Side" effects of this drug are much much higher than reported during the FDA study. I'm sorry but I've been through a lot and I've seen too much to give FDA studies much credibilty anymore. All I can say is thank God for the internet were we can actually compare notes with one another and we don't have to be made feel stupid by some. Which was how I was made to feel while taking propecia by one Hair Surgeon. You may not experience any feeling of low libido or feel any different on this medication, but it doesn't mean your not doing anthing to your system in the long run. Every drug is liver toxic bar none! I had a hard time really understading that when I first heard it. But it has hit home now. Anyways, to each is own. Since October, I've stopped eating Wheat/Gluten and all diary products for a medical concern of mine. I have been feeling a lot better!!! More importantly to the people on this website, I'm losing a lot less hair than I used to. I'm 33 years old and been losing hair since 17. The change (so far) has been dramatic. I've tried everything....believe me! I have not done anyting differently in the last 3-4 months but this. MarkMark

Jotronic, what were those hair balls caused from? Can any doctor on this forum explain the picture above?!

5 months full growth? I had almost zero growth at 5 months. You must wait things out. Density improves and more hairs do grow! I'm the opposite of you. I did my crown first and hopefully I will have enough donor to address the front one day. MarkMark

This is very impressive work!!! This is one of the best repairs I've ever seen. The previous doctor really messed this guys head up. Great work Dr. Hasson!!! What were those hair balls? Is that ingrown hairs caused by the tool punch of FUE? Great result Again MarkyMark

Burberry, do you have any other pictures at different stages of your progress? Say around the 7th 8th and 9th month mark?

Dub09, Post-op pictures look great. Your 4 month pictures are purple!? Do you have any with regular lighting so we can have a better picture of your progress? MarkMark

Windjc, Good Post! I agree with you on this. I guess growth varies from person to person, however I do notice the same trend and pattern. I'm at 9 months from my HT and there hasn't been much more growth but there has been a difference in appearance. The only thing I'm counting on is that my HT was to my crown and from what I'm reading this generally takes a bit longer to fill in or grow. Other than that I find those who have good growth and coverage early generally go on to have a better looking HT Just my opinion......but I don't think I'm too far off! MarkyMark

Thanks for the response guys.....Bill, 2000 grafts were done. It's kind of hard to say what percentage of growth I had, but probably around 50%? I've read posts where guys start having real growth in month 10 or 11. Just wondering if others experienced this with the crown. Pictures are to come soon! MarkyMark

So it's been 8 months since my HT. I had 2000 grafts placed in my crown and surrounding area. Yes there is growth.....but less than I expected for this stage. I am aware the crown comes in a bit slow, but should I expect much more from this point? MarkyMark

Very nice Spex! Any pictures of the donor area you can show? Mark

Balboa, did you have shockloss in your donor area form the FUE procedure? If yes, how long did it take to thicken up again? Mark

I have been buzzing my hair as well for the last few years. Men do it for different reasons but I would have to agree many men buzz their head down because it can look less obvious that they are balding.....it looks less pronounced.......but that would depend on your degree of hair loss. Some people still believe that shaving your head down will make your hair stronger and thicker, so I think some guys like to try this and see if it works. It doesn't! I was told by a transplant Doctor that shaving your head down can accelerate your hair loss because it causes traction alopecia. Basically pushing your cutter machine on your scalp in different directions can pull and stress the hairs. Does any other doctor agree with this statement? Mark

Does anyone know if a transplant done to the crown area grows more slowly than the front of someone's head?

Abedogg, looks good! What does your donor hair look like? Notice any thinning with the fue?
