  1. In my case, FUE, the time the hair follicules were resting in recipeints before being put into my scalp was not that much. If a surgeon is good enough to cause no damaga at all to gratfs while extracting them (which is more commom right now) then the yield is gonna be basically perfect. Yet with FUT you can be the best surgeon in the world but it's inevitable the lost of grafts while using the blade to make the strip.
  2. It's a myth because if you have the best surgeons doing FUE and FUT the most probable scenario is FUT having the lowest yield.
  3. I created this topic because one of my friends is thinking about getting a FUE procedure yet he was extremely worried because he checked on the web and this issue appeared. I thought he was joking because I wasn't getting the connection. Then I searched by my own and I was really surprised: this seems to cause a real debate. So basically all this is pure nonsense, right? The only time it can cause problems with our hairs is a couple of days post-op, right? Nothing more at all?
  4. I really don't get why some keep mentioning this myth about FUE having a worse yield than FUT... This depends on the surgeon. And not only that recent studies have shown that with FUE we get a better yield since there's no blads trespassing our scalp and cutting many grafts.
  5. I'm very curious about this because sometimes I hear it's a myth (it seems it's from the "most official sources") and other times I hear some claim it's true. If anyone has the answer can give as well reasons to why it's true or false? Is there any colerration at all between both phenoms? So what exactly is the answer?
  6. So basically you have been using hair products that help hair growing faster, right?
  7. Maybe that's why so many people get their hair grown pretty fast. What about your own case? Do you use minoxidil?
  8. My trichologist said some months ago my hair was growing fine and at the phone other doctors from the same clinic, after watching the pictures I've sent to them marking the post-op after 10 months, said my growth has been normal. Do the people who already have all their hair grown at 8 months use some special products that make their hair growing faster?
  9. And what about hair cycle? Is it responsbile as well for many hairs still now growing up in 12 months?
  10. I made this thread because in my personal case, I'll reach the 12 months in 21th of September, I have hair growing in all places yet in some places it's very thick and there's a lot hair yet mixed with these areas there's even bigger areas with less and thin hair.
  11. Yeah. In some cases with men with very thin hair and bad donor area (which thank God is not the majority at all) the trick is to give the illusion of hair density. Yet in most cases the density we get from a HT is more than enough to achieve a similar effect to our originak density. For me that's not "illusion" because it's not "fake", it's real. People only start noticing they are getting bald after losing 50% of their original hair density.
  12. It really varies with individuals. What I was saying is that the expression "illusion of density" is a tricky pony. It doesn't matter if the density is the same as the original we had while we were younger, if the coverage is enough to not show any scalp then that's enough.
  13. I was asking this because I think I've read someone in this forum claiming doctors use some sort of technique that only takes a small amount of grafts to fill up temple points.
  14. Is it necessary a lot of grafts to restore or to pack more the temple points?
  15. Then can't be a bit odd making a transplant to the temple points? If you lose the rest of your temple points then it's gonna look pretty odd.
  16. I was asking this because I thought by viewing their youtube videos they use FUE.
  17. There's one thing I never fully understood: does Alopecia afect temples/sideburns? Or in this area people never lose their hair?
  18. So are there any more people who only started having better results after 12 months?
  19. What do you exactly mean when you say "harsh lighting"? The Sun? And I don't agree with you, it does really exist so many cases. But I can post inages nor videos in this forum, it's a policy of this forum. Unless if they changed the rules...
  20. I don't agree with you. You can see many videos of NW 6s having FUE and the density being perfect to any kind of light. It's totally possible. It depends on the person and on the transplant. "Illusion of density" is a tricky pony. If the density of your new hair is more than enough to perfectly hide your scalp does it matter if the number of hairs is the same as your original amount? Obviously not. You can watch those videos and see those people using their cumbs and not any scalp is seen, only hair.
  21. It depends on the transplant. Many transplants can make a totally bald person having a full head of hair with no visible scalp at all. Doctors say that with 50% of your normal density that's enough to make your scalp "disappearing". "Illusion of density" is more in the extreme cases. You've made a FUE transplant? You were a NW 7? You can put even more grafts if you whish, right?
  22. Really? But at the time of 8 months was already impossible to see any part of your scalp? All the hair was alerady extremely thick?
