Threads like this are useless without photos. Can you just take some pics with your hone? In this day and age everyone has access to a camera. Glad you're happy with your results, but for the rest of us, testimonials without photos don't help.

Any updates? How long does it take for the pinkness to go away from the recipient area? Also, are you able to Comb your hair back or to the side? How does the density look? How's the donor scar?

Any updates? I feel this is the first truly candid konior posting. Where every step is being shown, even the ugly steps. Thanks for this...hoping for an update

Let me also say that I am not against alliances, I think they can be very valuable if done right. I would just like a little info into the actual facts and details/criteria of an alliance that is meant to be taken as the industry standard, and is touted as the top tier group of as patients, we deserve complete transparecy. our money is paying EVERYONE's bills, and we are the ones putting our scalps in the hands of physicians, so it is important to know how seriously these groups are to be taken.

Whaty I find even more strange is that the founder of IAHRS is Spencer Kobren, who is the founder of baldtruthtalk dot net and the host of the baldtruth radio show. does he have medical training? is he the one that OK's the members? i think there needs tombe more transparency into this alliance group if we are meant to take it seriously. My concerns with the validity of quality claims of this alliance started when everyone on baldtruth and this forum would say things like "you can't go wrong with an IAHRS doc!" Some transparency into the fees that IAHRS asks the physicians for, and transparency into the criteria needed to meet their standards should be public info for prospective patients.

We've seen these groups since the beginning. The physicians are certainly paying either a monthly or annual fee to be part of these alliances. Also it is interesting to see some forums are in cahoots with these alliances, evident by entire forums being dedicated to surgeons that are part of the alliance. I understand the alliances have a code of ethics, and standards etc. but as long as the physicians meets the criteria (which isn't that difficult), but most importantly pays the Lliance his/her fee, they will be admitted into the alliance. Point: there are thousands of qualified doctors out there that Meet the standards of IAHRS or similar physician groups. However only a handful of physicians are willing to pay the $. Basing your decision on whether a physician is IAHRS certified is complete BS. I see it more as a marketing tool for physicians. I think all topics should be discussed, and all sides should be heard. What do you all think?

OP, based on these photos looks like you've suffered some real shock loss. You are only 1 month out, so not the best time to judge the resuls. Happy growth

Have you posted pics yet of the scar? Not seeing many konior patients posting pics of their scars. I think scar visibility is a very important part of the final results of a fut ht, and should be properly journaled in the patient blogs and physician before/after galleries.

Still no photos? Can you please update this thread with your results? You say you are thrilled, and you even posted your before photos. Why not complete this thread with photos of your results? Thanks
