Yes the issue is not the video size..it is only 3.5mb ..the issue is one cannot upload vid format as far as I see..so probably best to upload it to YouTube and embed a link.

Sure, if it is too large it may bounce or your email server may give you the option of sending me a download link..ill pm you my private email also and you can also try there.

You can send to me and I can shrink it...if you want to whatsapp me it you can hack the whatsapp limit by clicking to add document and then navigate to the file and send me and Ill pass you my number or email it to me with a download link to stephen@bhrclinic.com and I can adjust it for you and send back mate.

Yes, we placed 1489 grafts. This hair type has challenges in harvesting but benefits with the curl that affords coverage when grow out so less also can be placed for a good result but needs a doctor who knows how to work all hair types and afro and curly hair is not so straight forward. Skin thickness and other issues are also prevalent and need to be kept in mind.

Congrats! Did she say...I saw you online but now seeing you in the flesh..you look a bit different..I just can't put my finger on it!

Looking fantastic for 5 months and plenty of time to come but has made a nice change so far for you. Thank you so much for taking time to share these photos.

Congrats to you, plug free also...so happy for you!

All the best for your healing and don't be concerned for shedding. So good when people share full face, it really does add another dimension...

Long day means more injections and all that fluid has to fall, so it will manifest in swelling and black eyes very often. As said above it should peak and go and usually around 4 days or so it hits eyes and then you will see it subside. All the best for your healing and keep in touch with your clinic for anything that causes concern but from what you have described then this is part of the journey.

Massive congrats to you on your amazing journey!

Yes I can think of a few who would be good as and when and Gatsby is for sure top. Mel has done an amazing job, some other forums have totally folded or are dead and he has resurrected this forum and deserves a lot of respect. I think he will be a great influencer for the future generations and would love to see it.

Are you having all removed in one or in several sittings? Need to wait a few months between sessions and final reconstruction. Dr.B has an approach to if need be use multiple sessions to punch out, wait 2 months or so and then continue on, so generally at least 2 months while you heal and individual circumstances and healing can mean a variation. Some will also supply creams to aid healing. Sincerely all the best for your next stage/s and hope you get satisfactory closure on this and thank you for all you share and contribute to this forum.

Coming in very well for 4 months or so! Very happy for you...I know it was a big decision and took time so really happy you are seeing fast growth and all the best for the coming months. Steve

Great write up and all the best for the healing and growth.

In my opinion, consultations should be about the hands-on data and your personal situation that emails, photos, vids and calls cannot cover, so make sure to have a very in-depth analysis with real empirical take home data that means something as in density, safe zone, loss pattern, follicular unit make up, hair calibre etc. There may be small areas trimmed to obtain readings. Try to get prices and the information that is more generic prior sorted so you know the A,B,C before going to the consultation so you narrow down to the clinics that fit your budget, expectations etc. The consultation can be 30 minutes or so and should not ideally be about things that could have been easily answered by email or a call and so it is important to use it wisely. No clinic will be upset if people have more than one consultation, we recommend it and more so if people are travelling to us and there are others nearby, and some will gel better with a particular clinic or doctor and that is fine also. When some tell me they have had X amount of consultations I ask them what real data do they have and often they have zero apart from they are a good candidate..so there are still plenty of places not giving real data to go on but thankfully some will be able to give you data that is just not subjective and meaningless. Ask beforehand what can you expect from the in-person consultation in terms of verifiable readings. All the best in this and let us all know how your consultations go.

As said by others..lovely result and quote! Thank you so much for sharing it, enjoy!

For our patients we say it should resolve and keep it clean and let the scab do its job and don't pick it off. Watch for change and if you have concerns then see your clinic who may want to advise on a topical anti-biotic, but for the most part any intervention is not usually needed. I think important to keep in touch with your clinic as essentially you are under their care and they may have different protocols also, so worth checking with them if not already done so.

Pimples are common as hair grows or you get some trapped hair and can be more an issue for those with a curl. You generally do no need any anti-biotics at this stage and for the odd one here and there. Your clinic may have given you a post op document regarding them and what to do but nothing to worry about when the odd one comes up and they will, so expect some and very possible in the donor also. They will go on their own also so no need to be overly worried. All the best for this stage, it can be harder for first time patients for sure.

Thank you. Wavy hair, medium coarse and donor density was high in the 80/90 where measured.

Thanks for posting Raphael. Yes patient is in 50s now..looks great and keeps super fit also.

Hi RK, congratulations on your surgery. The first time a patient has a hair transplant it is usually more of a concern to them what they go through and experience and for sure that is natural. Your clinic and or rep will be a vital in guiding you and answering your questions but from experience the recipient site marks will go fairly fast and more so on darker skin types. Hair will also expel and fall as you wash well and at the stage you are it is not uncommon for most if not all to shed. Some lighter tones carry the marks and redness longer so for sure your skin tone is favourable for fast healing. All the best and look forwards to seeing the transformation.

Hi, if you had a cons then if possible please see the advisor who arranged it as they will have the data. We need to take into account age, meds, loss potential and how much the donor can give. So avoid front-loading and always think of future loss. The lower the hair line the more surface area is created to transplant into if you lose behind. Yes, of course the patient needs to be happy but it is good to have that vital education on what is wise and even a conservative hair line well done will frame the face and make a lot of difference. As said your advisor will have more empirical data so can be more specific than I can and will be happy to answer more. VAT also the advisor can assist and let you know the rules for VAT. Usually a patient will have a letter that describes the impact of hair loss on them from their GP or private doctor to then not have tax added to the surgery. The advisor will be able to point you in the right direction for the specifics on this. If your consultation was more than six months ago then also it is worth sending fresh photos for an assessment just to see if things have changed.

All the best in your decision and journey wherever you go.

Thank you for the tag. Dr.Kostis is not an assistant as such but a bonafide doctor in his own right now and has had extensive full emersion training with Dr.B for some years. Now he has his own patients and also as said here most of our results are a Dr.B/Dr.K shared surgery with both doctors performing punching and recipient site making. So, he is not in the role of a technician but as a doctor as such and shares responsibilities with Dr.B. Here is a link to some cases and recipient site cutting for a crown for example and shared cases that have allowed us to post and a Dr.K exclusive result also. For more info please feel free to email ian@bhrclinic.com who will be happy to liaise with you and share more info on Dr.Kostis.

Yes no problem..I buzzed my own far sooner.
