I think Dr Kongkiat Laorwong of Absolute Hair Clinic definitely deserves recognition on this forum for his consistent technical excellence, and the positive feedback from his patients. In fact, I feel this recognition is long overdue.

 

As you correctly mentioned in your original post Dr Laorwong performs grafts at a high density.

I posted about this same thing back on 22 May when I found, after the scabs had come off, that the hair in the recipient area was absolutely indistinguishable from my natural hair, even though my hair was only 1/8in (3mm) long all over at the time, due to the density and natural placement of the grafts in the recipient area matching that of my natural hair. A thumbnail was attached.

 

I am now 7 weeks post-op and those grafts have now moulted and started regrowing. But since Dr Laorwong told me at our initial consultation that his graft survival rate is over 95% I am confident the regrowth will ultimately result in completely natural-looking hair that is undetectable as a hair transplant.

Hello IanfromOz,

Would you choose Dr. Laorwong over Dr. Path for large FUT?

very nice work here Dr.

may I ask does this patient have high density donor area?

is his hair diameter very thick?

Hi friends! I'm sorry to have gone AWOL, has been busy enjoying life with a full head of hair. A picture says more than a thousand words, so here's my update as of 1st June 2017 (59 weeks and 5 days post-op).

 

 

I'm using Finasteride (5mg cut into 4 pieces) once daily and Rogaine twice daily to maintain existing hairs.

im sure I speak for many here, we are all happy for your progress!

I am considering Dr. Path as well for FUT.

Question, is your hair diameter very thick and is your hair density abundant too?

Dam you look like my long lost twin from your profile pic...LOL

Brother!! where u been?

good suggestion! will do!

Hello all,

I really hope i can qualify for FUE.

May i ask:

1. what is the minimal hair shaft density?

2. what is the minimal follicles per / cm squared?

3. can under chin facial hair help with crown are with FUE?

My goal is to get a shaved head look keeping around 1/4 inch or so short. I am obviously realistic. i dont expect to have that thick shaved head look, but something that is OK / Decent for a man who is 45 yrs old, in decent shape and trains MMA

Thank you everyone!

very good result.

What is your density follicles per sq / cm?

What is your hair shaft density? is each of your hairs quite thick?

@ 3 months(at around 3 months).

 

 

The one showing the donor area, it's pink because I had just scratched, but it actually looks pretty normal.

 

Please comment, feedback, etc.

hello Dr.

Is your practice Asian hair specialty?

May I ask how many cases of FUE you did on Asian crown?

thank you very much Dr.

Hello Folks,

Great to be here.

quick story, I had struggled with THIN hair my whole life. Since I was a kid, my hair was thinner than most. So some kids said I had a bald spot at literally age 8-9 yrs old. No one would say im bald or anything because I do creative hair styles to keep it looking as full as possible but its something I had to deal with my whole life.

Now in my early 40s, I do see receding. I believe I am Norwood 2-3. Some slight thinning at the back.

I did one 2000 graft FUT session and the results are not satisfactory. I got a hairline back but the thickness behind the hairline is not good.

I really want to do FUE for my next procedure. Maybe 1500-2000 grafts to fix things up a bit.

My former Dr. is against FUE. He likes FUT strip. However reading all the information on this site, I find that he is wrong about many things in regard to FUE.

He also says "FUE IS NOT FOR FAR EAST ASIAN MEN". I know Caucasian men in general have more density than Asian Men but is what he is saying true?

I currently live in Hong Kong and I know there are NO GOOD FUE doctors anywhere in Asia.

I read over some reviews of good doctors. Where should I go? Any good recommendations? Belgium? India? Turkey?

Thank you all and thanks for all support. Hair loss and regaining hair is such a mentally hard thing...
