I missed the first 5 minutes but there were a lot of gold nuggets of information that would be worthwhile uploading to Youtube.

Cooley is very good. I would avoid trying to price shop.. There's no such thing as a GOOD cheap FUT.

I'm tempted to get another 100-150 grafts over about a 6cm2 area behind the centre hairline, just to boost that area slightly, but it's not really essential. Not even any point considering it until flights are back up and running anyway. Maybe in a couple of years. It only really shows under intense light and because my hair is relatively short and sticks up. Having dabbled with it in 2012, I've taken small doses consistently since early 2013.

I have a friend with psoriasis and this looks nothing like it to be honest. To me it just appears you continued to lose more hair behind the first HT. You could do a small session of 1000 grafts to check it grows ok, if there really is some kind of dematological condition.

Nice. Similar loss pattern to mine. I think I had less in front and a narrower loss in the middle and back, but overall quite comparible.

Nice one. The rest of your hair looks really solid so I expect this will turn out very YouTube worthy.

goldpharma.cn I have used for many years without a problem. They have some kind of dispute with credit card companies, so you have to arrange a bank transfer to an account in Bulgaria. Propecia is a bit pricey but proscar works out very cheap. They do an online Dr consultation as part of the check out process.

11 Months today and i was surprised to see it had improved quite a bit.

Oh and with sutures, the main problem is to do with excess tension which cuts off blood supply and results in the 'train track' appearance. Top doctors know not to do that.

You know, FUE extraction is not perfect either. Grafts can can be sliced through just as easily as with neither method can the doctor see exactly what is going on below the surface. You can make an estimate of the maximum number of grafts 'cut through' on an FUT, and it goes as follows: 80 grafts per sq cm with 2.2 hairs each = 176 hairs/cm2 The square root of 176 is about 13. So there are 13 hairs on any side of a 1cm square of scalp. A strip is typically 30cm long, so do 30 x 2 x 13 = 800 hairs But, not all will be damaged, so lets say 50% are. So 400 'hairs' are lost. Converting this back to grafts, divide by 2.2 = 181 grafts damaged. So out of a 3000 graft FUT you only lose about 6% of grafts during strip excision.

I don't think you can say one is better than the other. One might be better for one person versus another, based on their personal situation. Having had both I would still go FUT if I had my time over again. In my case I had about 8000 hairs from FUT and 5000 from FUE. There's quite a bit of density loss in the donor from the FUE, and I can't imagine what it would look like if I had taken 13000 hairs from just FUE.

Try Sara Wasserbauer in Walnut Creek. Heard of her before but don't know much. Results look decent though.

I believe this was the Shapiro study from 2 or 3 years ago. One thing that occured to me is that the FUE surgeon gets to choose which grafts he takes versus FUT where you use whatever is in the strip. Therefore, the FUE could select a greater proportion of stronger looking (less miniaturised) hairs, even if they were restricted to the same numbers of 1,2,3 & 4 hair grafts. Perhaps that is one factor which led to slightly better growth.

Jay has aged Dr K. He's early 60s.

Probably just male pattern baldness with unusal frontal tufts. You could go to a Trichologist or HT doctor to confirm thats the case, and not other conditions.

Yes, I get this every now and again although currently it is very minimal. I suspect it is hair that recently shed and is regrowing again in the last few months and will be kinked/wavy as if you were 6 months post op.

It kind of looks like your natural hair flows forward but the transplants were bulky and placed willy nilly. I would think it can be improved by maybe punching out some of the bulky grafts and putting some other finer hairs in the correct direction. You might need to have a couple of surgeries to correct it. Cut your losses with Cinik. He hasnt the skills.

The term implantation is broad but technically speaking the actual physical act of putting the graft in the incisionis mostly the lead tech (who does this for both the doctors according to a tech I spoke to in January). Think about it, the doctor cant make an incision, drop the needle/blade, pick up the forceps and then pick up a graft...place it in the incision. It would take too long. I have seen Dr k grafting. You have him and his lead tech - who has about 20 years experience - standing over the patient. A third tech is also stood there supplying the grafts to the lead tech. An incision is made and about 5 seconds later the graft is inserted. Repeat+ So in about 4 hours, excluding breaks, something like 2500 grafts can be completed. Hope that clarifies.

It looks like they used quite bulky grafts and arranged haphazardly. I think you will need a top doctor next time to try to soften it up, but it will be a tough ask.

Hard to say if you should go FUT or FUE. It depends on your long term goals and donor area density, laxity etc. You probably need about 1500 grafts, possibly more. I would think as if that area was completely bald and do: square CM of bald area x 30 grafts

She is highly rated as Dr Konior would not allow anyone mediocre to be part of his practise. However, she has about 5 years HT experience versus his 30 years. She works in the same way as Dr Konior and does all the important steps. (Note that implantation is performed by technicians but is done under 100% supervision, i.e. the doctor makes an incision into which a graft is immediately placed - "stick & place".)

oxford online pharmacy dot co dot uk seem to offer it with an online consultation. Seems a legit company.

Someone on reddit had a bit of regrowth on 1/4 x Mon, Wed, Fri. Trying to cut to 1/8 is not worth the effort in my opnion. Just try 1/4 every other day instead.

I did have FUT though. Hard to conceal the scar in the first 4-6 months, other than with a bad haircut. You should be able to get away with it with FUE though.

I waitied until it had grown tbh
