Because she wants to... If everyone did what you're suggesting hair transplants and cosmetic surgery wouldn't even exist aside from repair from accidents or disease

When you donate hair to someone who has cancer they don't implant it into that persons head they just make a wig out of it. In order to transplant hair you have to extract the entire follicle, not just the hair strand. The short answer to your question is no it cannot be done, you're just going to have to rely on dyeing your hair. Long answer is that in theory it could be done, but will never be done. If you transplant hair from another person onto your head you're going to have to take Immunosuppressive drugs in order to prevent your immune system from attacking the foreign hair. No doctor on earth is going to prescribe you those drugs for anything other than a life threatening condition because they are very dangerous and can kill you by themselves. Any doctor that would prescribe such drugs for cosmetic reasons would lose their license and probably face criminal charges. Also for this to happen all the hair on your head would first have to be surgically removed (we're talking about 100,000 FU's) then all the hair on the donor persons head would have to be removed (leaving this person completely bald with about 100,000 scars all over their head) and then the hair would have to be re-implanted onto your head. Even if you could get a doctor to do this (which you can't) it would probably cost over a million dollars and you would have to find someone willing to go completely bald with a disfigured head just so you could change the color of your hair. Also immunosuppressive drugs cost about $15,000-$30,000 per year. You might not like your hair color, but you need to go see a hair stylist, not a doctor.

Again "Do you post here using Google translate?". I'm not trying to talk shit, its just your posts literally make zero sense.

Do you post here using Google translate?

Dr. Reddy is the best at cherry-picking that I have ever seen. If you look at all of his results he gets great results with a minimal amount of grafts, and this is because of the high hair/graft ratio. I have slowly become a fan of Dr. Reddy since he as become recommended for this exact reason

Whats strange is that he started by injecting Dr. Bhatti's name in every thread in a positive manner, but then he entered into this Dr. Bhatti's hairlines are not good crusade. Very weird.

I think it was somewhat natural and I was making it worse by washing too much. I'm still on fin and my hair is less oily now that I changed how I was my hair than I ever remember, so I don't think fin was causing it.

Yeah I've head many times people thinking niz is making their hair look amazing and then they overuse it and things devolve, its only human nature to assume if a small amount is good a larger amount will be great. I haven't had issues with dandruff, but I have had problems with oily hair and excess sebum production. I usually take 2 showers a day and was washing my hair each time to combat the oil. However in reality I was creating a situation where my sebum glands were in a constant state of hyper activity. Now I still shower about the same but I only wash my hair with shampoo once every other day and the oil and sebum production has reduced significantly. Moral of the story is less is sometimes more.

I disagree with you. Sure there are risks, but thats why you go to a good ethical doctor so that if things go wrong they will make it right. Things have obviously gone wrong and the doctor may have tried to fix it, but he failed again, so now its time for some sort of refund as far as I'm concerned. Its not time to cut off contact and sick your attack lawyer on the patient threatening a lawsuit. Does the doctor owe him a refund, no the papers you sign ensure that, but then he can't get mad about a bad review. What's next people suing over bad yelp reviews? And also the doctor is more than welcome to come on here and give their side of the story, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Doesn't it say on the package to not use it more than every 3-4 days and for only 8 weeks? So yeah I would assume 5 days a week for a year and a half would probably not be good, not trying to sound like a dick btw.

Don't be scared, that is what they are trying to do. This is what lawyers do, they try to intimidate people by sending them scary letters on official papers so they will bend to their will. They have no grounds for a lawsuit, you are expressing your opinion about numerous failed procedures at this doctor's hands, there is no disputing the results are terrible and you have other medical professions to back that up. The only way they could sue you is if you were making slanderous unfounded claims, which you clearly are not. The fact that this piece of shit doctor refuses to speak to you and instead sends his lawyers to attack you only further proves your case and shows his true colors. He robbed you of thousands of dollars, disfigured your head, and then when he realized he couldn't extract another dollar out of you he let his attorney's loose on you and is threatening to sue you, what a great guy....:eek:

I usually don't make any negative posts on peoples post op threads because what is done is done, but I have to say it looks like they made no effort to blend the work in to your existing hair. It's just an abrupt line with a little gap between transplant and native hair. With that being said I really hope everything works out for you and you have a great result

Masturbating, having sex, working out and various other activities can temporarily raise testosterone and DHT levels, however there is very little chance of it causing hairloss. Androgen levels fluctuate at all times throughout the day, but I have not seen any evidence that they can increase to a level that would cause hairloss.

Really glad you and Joe posted up these results of smp into existing hair, thanks. It looks really good, I think I might have to look into this for my thin non-transplanted areas in order to maybe hold me over until I can afford another HT procedure.

That looks pretty great for the small number of grafts!

I agree with spanker. However I do envy your gigantic balls to rock that hair style, scar and all lol!!

Go to a top fue doctor and have them analyze your donor, if they believe you have enough donor to reach your goals with planning for any future loss, then fue should be your choice. If however you don't have enough donor to meet your goals from fue, then you'll either need to consider body hair, strip or no transplant at all.

At this point you should be fine, nothing to be concerned about.

any immediately post-op pics so we can see graft placement?

I can't disagree with this at all. I have been well, just busy trying to finish up with school, hope you have been well also!

Holy crap man 4000 more!! Not sure where they are going to fit, but I know you will be a happy camper after it's done. Good luck on hopefully the end of your journey!!

A long time ago I didn't think you and me would ever agree on much of anything, however I think if I didn't know better I might think I wrote this I could say the same thing about the huge fue megasessions posted recently, they are not realistic for most patients because few people have the donor available to go over 6000+ grafts with fue. So they really aren't something to point to as an endorsement for fue. On a side note I pray for the day that consistent regeneration is a reality and then you guys can really proclaim strip dead, and I'll join in with you. I'm not pro-strip or anti-fue, I'm olnly pro putting hair on my head and anti being bald :eek:

Do you really want to start another tired strip vs. fue debate? Yes fue has come to serve a larger percent of the transplant community, and that is a great thing. Anytime a less invasive procedure advances it is a good thing. However, to say that currently, without consistent donor regeneration, no on should ever choose strip is a false statement. For patients with good laxity, lower donor density, and greater current or future loss, strip is still the best option until donor regeneration/doubling is a reality. I hope you can understand that.

Yes because a patient who saw great results at 4 months and hasn't updated must mean the procedure was a failure...

Hahaha!
