Nice post-op photo. It looks like you just had your head shaved.

They let that Austrian govern California for a few years so anything's possible!

A great shame. I watched his video interviews on here some time ago and he seemed really into what he did. Rest in peace.

Yes. Being from the UK I can confirm he keeps a relatively low profile - no silly marketing, just the way it should be.

I prefer the ABHRS as a better indicator of whether a Dr knows what the're doing or not. However, it certainly doesn't guarrantee they have a talent in what they do.

Good man posting the photos - not easy to do. You sure look like you could end up a NW6 in 10-15 years. I had more hair than you 12 years ago and am now approaching NW4A with the potential of a 5A in the not too distant future (without meds). You've only got so much donor hair and let me tell you it may not be enough to cover half of your head let alone all of it. The problem with young guys is you want the NW1 or 1.5 look and anything less than that would be a disappointment. Contrast that with a 40 year old NW6 who would be delighted to get anywhere near a NW3. That's why the top docs generally avoid young guys not on meds. Some docs would still do a procedure on you but what will they say in 10 years when you show them your abnormal look? They will bring out copies of the papers you signed which advised lifelong use of Propecia and the words "Sorry but we warned you this might happen". I'd recommend you take a trip to Manchester and arrange to meet Mick from Farjo. Also contact Spex (see his website Spex Hair).

Hello mate, Post some pictures and we will let you know what we think, but from what I've read so far it sounds like a bad idea. NW2 or 3 is not bad. You should be using minoxidil and finasteride for now.

Top man, and great info.

100% natural end result.

Prince Harry's hairloss noted in the press today: After years of ribbing his brother, now Prince Harry's thinning on top too | Mail Online

Agreed. Mine seems to be at its worst from January to March. Maybe if I had full density I wouldn't notice it as much.

Make that a top 5. Had to add these ones: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/168608-raymond-konior-md-chicago-2805-graft-frontal-hairline-restoration.html http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/166122-raymond-konior-md-chicago-2345-graft-frontal-hairline-restoration.html

That guy had had a previous procedure, so it's difficult to say he was 'diffuse'. I've met Dr Konior and he said while he can do non-shave it is highly preferable to shave the recipient site. It minimises the chances of temporary and permanent shockloss.

The work looks fine. Not sure about the hairline placement. It looks a bit agressive.

From the main page click on the section you want to post, e.g. Hair Restoration Questions and Answers - Forum By and for Hair Loss Patients Then the 'New Thread' box at the top left.

Best to start a new thread rather than jump on this one. There are more talented Dr's out there than this guy. Namely Bisanga and Feriduni in Belgium. Also Farjo and Lorenzo who are joining forces later this year.

I don't think you will get anything more efficient than an FUT session, preferably 4000 grafts +. The advantage is that you can take some hair and potentially spread it over an area 4x the original. No idea if that's feasible though, what with your flap scars etc..

Click on 'Your Info' near the top left of the page (not the main blue menu bar but the second one down.)

Good luck mate. I'm 3 months away myself.

I used to get those all the time until I started on meds, but that of course was not HT related.

As others have said the only advisable thing now is to experiment with meds to slow down the loss. The majority of peoples hair seems to go in their 20s and early 30s (and it's no coincidence that testosterone level are highest at this time).

>Propecia can cause ED. It's time to realize its a risk you decided to accept and stop pretending like it doesn't exist. Not only that, it is known to be unreported, not only in the studies itself, but in general for any study. That reminds me of the statement "The police conclude that 70% of all crimes go unreported". Yeah but how do they know?! lol Men get ED regardless of whether they take Propecia or not. The percentages are in the same ball park for users and non users. You have to ask yourself how many of these smoke 20 Marlboros a day or do not excercise. How old are they? The answer is we do not know. Even the study in Sweden (or whereever it was) could not conclusively prove that Propecia caused permanent ED. Sure there is a risk in taking the drug, just as there is with taking an Asprin a day. Ultimately you just have to study the facts and either chose for yourself whether you think the risk is too high for your own personal circumstances. Based on my own assessment I'm quite happy to continue taking it. It's a very small risk in my opinion. Good luck in whatever you decide.

Poor Dr Diep! I just watched half a dozen of his FUE videos and he says 'no visible scarring but there is scarring'. A couple of prime examples but there are many more: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqKdznVqY2k http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2t9M6KlBvw
