anyone else have any thoughts about this?

There are no other thoughts, there is no correlation. End of story.

To the right at the top of the screen there is a box titled "Find a Great Surgeon in Your Area" with two drop down menus, the first one will show you all of the recommended doctors. It is notable to know that not all doctors are willing to go through the screening process or pay the fees, and some don't make the grade even though people here talk about them regularly.

Anyone know who the doc is at Sure Hair? They are pushing the robot here in TO a lot. I'm 99% going with Dr. Rahal but wondering if they are worth checking out??

You should probably just bump that up to 100%

Although I recognize Lorenzo as being top notch, I felt Dr Reddy offered a procedure closer to my liking. He also is able to achieve great results with relatively fewer grafts, which may be due to his custom technique

I forgot about Dr. Reddy, I like his work and you're right he gets unusually good results for the amount of grafts he uses. Good luck with your procedure!

The doctor I am going with is among the best in the world and developed his own FUE technique. His rate is a little over 7 euro per graft. I am aware he is slightly more expensive than a lot of other doctors but his results, procedure, and ethics, were the most well suited to my needs. I was willing to spend a little more for my first FUE. In addition he is close to my home.

I hope his name is Dr. Lorenzo...

Do you know what "credible scientific evidence" means?

There is absolutely no correlation between head shape and hairloss, this is the same thing as people claiming there is a correlation between scalp tightness or masturbation. To the people saying there is, please provide credible scientific evidence to support your claims or stop spreading misinformation.

3.8 euro ($5.24) per hair is insanely expensive. With an average of 2.3 hairs/graft you're looking at 8.74 euro ($12.05) per graft, that is significantly higher than any of the best doctors in the world. I'm curious who this doctor is if you don't mind sharing.

I'd say if you are destined to be a high norwood and need to maximize your available donor I would stick with strip. If you turn to fue now you will most likely have less grafts available over your lifetime than if you stick with strip until you have maxed out the amount of grafts available from strip and then turn to fue if needed.

If I was going to Turkey I would be looking into either Dr. Hakan Doganay, Dr. Koray Erogan, Dr Erkan Demirsoy, or Dr Maral. The first two are recommended here.

 

I need a Dr. Armani pronto. Remember Dr. Armani performing aggressive juvenile hairlines on young men? I need his 2014 equivalent to operate me.

 

That's who I need right now.

 

There is a reason Armani fell from grace, because planting extremely agressive, dense hairlines on really young guys is unethical and stupid. Search around, there are Armani patients around the forums who are in their late 20's now and regret their decision.

You obviously didn't come here for advice but instead approval. Not a single person in this thread has told you what you want to do is wise, there's a reason for that. However, that obviously doesn't matter at all to you, your mind is made up and there is nothing anyone can say to change it. I remember when I was a young immature fool who thought he knew everything.

Anyways if you want a HT go down the list of recommended doctors here and start setting up consultations, you can also do them by email by submitting them pictures. Maybe one of them will agree you are a suitable canidate, although I doubt any of them will transplant a juvenile hairline for you so your expectations will likely not be met.

There is only one piece of advice I have for you that I hope you take to heart and that is if you consult with all the recommended doctors and they all turn you down, whatever you do, do not search for some random unknown doctor that agrees to take your money it will ruin your life.

I 100% agree with what everyone is saying, especially Mickey. This reminds me of a case on here right now in this thread:

http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/172143-19-years-age-norwood-2-3-there-anybody-out-there.html

The young guy on this thread sounded similar to you right now, he got some great advice that he ignored and went ahead with a procedure anyway with a sub-par doctor and is now in a bad situation.

As long as you are careful taking it off and on and it doesn't touch the grafts for the first 10-14 days you will be fine. I wore a hat starting the day after my procedure when I went out and then wore one all day for the first 4-5 months I had no issues whatsoever.

Hi guys ,

My treatment due in 20 days , dr has given me local and general options for Ht

Can anyone please advise me on the difference between the 2?

Side effects etc?

Procedures?

 

Advice is highly appreciated

Who is the doctor? I've never heard of using general anesthesia for a HT procedure.

Hi - Take the Eurostar and come back the next day. This is exactly what I did when I went to Brussels. I have been for two procedures and was not asked to remove my hat. Security is much more relaxed on the train....

I was going to mention this as well. If you're really that anxious about flying you could just take the train.

As a man who hasn't seen the skin under his beard in many years I hate that beards have become trendy, since it has always worked as an unspoken filter that discouraged superficial high maintenance people I don't want to talk to from approaching me, but I can't say I dislike the new found female appreciation of the bearded man.

Also I'm not surprised to see Dr. Epstein involved, I just hope for the sake of these "hipsters" that he has worked out the kinks in his operation...

Hey guys. Can anyone please take a look at my latest post on my thread? I'm at 4.5, almost 5 months post op and my native hair is not like it was pre-op. I have never taken any meds before or after my procedure. Does anyone have experience with delayed recovery of the native hair? At what stage did it thicken up and the density go back to normal? Are the hairs that were shock loss still in resting phase and about to start growing again? Any help would be greatly appreciated guys. I'm starting to get a little worried about the state of my native hair. Thanks

Hey man I went ahead and made a side by side comparison of your pre-op and current situation, because sometimes you get tunnel vision and can't see the trees through the Forrest.

For the grafts used and it only being 4.5 months I'd say this is a pretty great result so far.

Alas, I am starting to notice some pretty significant balding in the crown and all over the top of my head.

It feels as though my life is being stripped away from me, for no reason. I hope the medications I am on will at least help slow it down and maintain the rest for a good while longer. I will undoubtedly (in my later years) end up with a Norwood 5/6, 7 I hope not. My father is a Norwood 4-5, and he is 49.

I hope you're wrong. This is why we were telling you not to transplant such an aggressive hairline at such a young age. I really hope this procedure turns out well for you now, so you don't waste any grafts you may need later.

If I lived in the midwest I personally would go to either Dr. Paul and Ron Shapiro in Minnesota or Dr. Konior in Chicago.

I think you look fantastic for 4.5 months. It's normal to be nervous at this stage, but you look like you are coming along nicely. The concern of whether or not you will look "normal" or "stupid" shouldn't be an issue since you already look perfectly normal right now, there is no way anyone would think you had a HT. Just relax, I'm sure you will be happy in the end, you already look better than pre-op

I seriously can't believe people on the other forums let him carry on for as long as they did, he had fraud written all over him.

Haha!! That was good

I have to agree with Mickey. Is it possible that there is some great surgeon in Iran that we haven't heard of? Sure, but why would you want to risk going to an unknown surgeon when there are plenty of well known great surgeons through out the world. A hair transplant is not something that you want to roll the dice with.

Who was the doctor? Shaving your head is not going to cause you to lose hair. If the miniaturized hair was going to fall out and not come back, it was going to do so regardless of if you shaved your head or not.
