2880 Grafts with Dr. Munib Ahmad at FueGenix ( big crown )
TommyLucchese replied to Zeno's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Wow! After the first 2 pics I thought it was too few grafts for such a large area.....that's incredible work. I can't imagine how great that will be by month 18. Congrats -
In over 10 years on this forum I have never heard of grafts being taken from butt cheeks...?

My hairline and crown results from FUT in July 2020
TommyLucchese replied to EvoXOhio's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Looks amazing. Are you able to just get up and go without spending time on styling? Is the crown thick enough? Also - what clinic did you go to? -
2500 Graft FUT by Dr. Tim Carman in La Jolla, CA
TommyLucchese replied to John P's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Look forward to your photos. The title of the thread is a little bit hyperbolic though. -
Try Mane thickening spray / root concealer. I've used it for over 10 years and they offer a travel sized option so you can trial it for less money....it works great for me. Don't go for their expensive 'lock in spray' just get some strong hold hairspray from the supermarket and spray it on afterwards. It survives rain and wind until I wash it out.

Yay or nay: FUE HT before Christmas?
TommyLucchese replied to Balding Bad's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I agree with early November to make the most of the dark weather. The point about whether the clinic will be mentally checked out waiting for Christmas is an interesting one.....every office I ever worked in basically had a "f**k it, it's Friday" mentality and did nothing on Fridays, but my procedure with Dr Feller was on a Friday (10 years ago yesterday!) and it was a first class experience and turned out great. I think the professionalism of the reputable clinics means you'll get their full attention no matter when you sit in the chair. -
1700 Grafts - Front Hairline - UK
TommyLucchese replied to swats09's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Looked great in Feb....any final updates? I'm guessing you forgot you ever had a hair loss problem and you're out enjoying life. Always nice to see results like this from UK doctors -
it's already balding, you can see that at 1 minute 13. the problem is the area of the crown and midscalp is as big if not bigger than the hairline....it isn't a smart distribution of your finite donor area. the remaining donor might fix the mid scalp but he could be left with a huge crown and body hair is no guarantee.....if he'd played it safe and had 2,000 grafts in the hairline he'd have an extra 2,500 grafts left in the bank for the problem areas that have already developed. It's an amazing result now for sure but it's risky

how much grafts would i need for this area?
TommyLucchese replied to zenmu's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
That hairline is too low and square...especially with your age. No reputable doctor would be willing to do that. Take a look through the results posted here from start to finish - you'll be surprised how a hairline that looks too high and receded immediately post-op ends up turning out to look amazing. Please hold off on making any decisions. You've found the right place....you should sit back and do nothing but read, absorb and ask questions for the next 6 months. -
Scroll to the top of the page and there should be a notification bell and a letter/mail graphic....click the letter graphic.

These are known as concealers because they don't treat hair loss but they conceal / hide it until the next time you wash your hair. Dermmatch is the name of a brand, i haven't used it but i believe it's like make up that you dab onto the scalp. The most well known fibre brand is Topik, you sprinkle them onto your head and it clings on to whatever hair your have left. From what you said about your hair, it sounds like concealers would work very well.

Don't worry! My FUT surgery was a Friday and I flew home on the Sunday so I didn't go back to the clinic. The day after I wore a big loose fitting hat and walked around Manhattan, and the day after that I flew back to the UK. Dr Feller gave me painkillers and shampoo and explained how to wash - I believe it was just use the suds and water on your hand very very lightly rub them across the scalp and grafts, and to not stand underneath the shower head. He also gave me his number and said to call if there were any problems, but it was all fine. i wasn't given spray or anything like that. Just make sure they explain to you what you need to do and don't leave until you are certain you understand. Basically just be very very careful and sensible, it isn't too complicated.

They're great - quick service and the products work. Some people are sceptical about where the products come from ...possibly an unknown lab in china that gets redistributed from the US.....but people on other hairloss forums paid to have the products lab tested privately and it all came back legit. I've used monixdil max for nearly 2 years now and am a happy customer.

Earliest You Drank Alcohol?

Not the first time that poster has had a condescending tone, just ignore them. -
Earliest You Drank Alcohol?
TommyLucchese replied to gxm100's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
2 weeks, don't know if it makes much difference but it's not worth the risk in my opinion....the worst for me was being in NYC the day before and not being able to have a beer -
it does look a bit harsh right now, good growth though. You can always have this tweaked later on if you don't like it. Who was the doctor?

ASMED hair mill on British National TV

This is why I never comment on Turkey threads...I thought Erdogan was one of the good ones? -
Everything looks normal so far. Don't forget that you have very long thick hair around it which makes the transplant look even worse than it normally does at this stage. This is just the beginning. I have always worn my hair long and it took me until 2 years post op until the transplant was chin length and could match the rest of my hair. You have a long road ahead, it's hard but the best advice is to forget about it as much as possible.

Next Podcast Who Do You Want On?
TommyLucchese replied to Melvin- Admin's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Muresanu...I was so impressed when he and I had a video call. Personable but authoratitive and really came across as someone you should trust and respect. -
Hangover? I've had many hangovers go from a 6/10 to a 10/10 literally instantly after finishing a Mcdonalds......maybe the rush of energy/excitement brought on the same sort of crash that I get from bad food on a hangover.

Best FUT surgeons that come to mind.
TommyLucchese replied to HelpfulFriend's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Consult with Hattingen - they do both FUT and FUE and can offer advice that isn't lent to one technique vs the other. very ethical, very skilled.
