  1. Your donor still looks thick. How many grafts do you have left?
  2. I have never heard of this doctor. Doesn’t mean she’s bad. Independent reviews are important. However, there’s some good surgeons with very little or no reviews. Lack of reviews doesn’t necessarily mean bad. There needs to be high quality case presentation on behalf of the surgeon though. Also, the surgeon should be able to facilitate you speaking to a past patient, or possibly help you meet them in person. What is drawing you to this particular surgeon? If its cost and location alone, then you’re already researching badly.
  3. Damn that’s amazing density. Dr. Zarev is truly a wizard 🧙
  4. You need to stabilize on medication first before considering surgery. Once you've stabilized, you can start by using our list of recommended surgeons, but do your own due diligence and researching using our forum. https://hairtransplantnetwork.com/best-hair-transplant-surgeons
  5. They’re a good clinic. You’ll be in good hands.
  6. Traditional wisdom was that you would “strip out” then go for subsequent FUE procedures. But the problem with this is that the strip scar can stretch after multiple strips, plus you need high donor density to conceal a strip scar. I don’t think this is the best approach. Obviously, your approach is best, second best would be a mixture of scalp + beard. I would put strip +FUE third.
  7. Would be interesting to see how many grafts you need or donor capacity you have using scalp scan or Dr. Zarev’s software. 100 fu’s per cm2 is very rare.
  8. To be fair, this looks like 3,000 grafts on this large area. There are some patches that look like subpar growth. But its not a total failure. I think the problem is there wasn’t enough grafts placed in this area. I had a podcast with Dr. Pittella, he talked about a case that looked relatively minor in comparison to your case and he required over 6k grafts. I think you probably need at least 10,000 grafts. I think this might give you a better idea of what’s necessary.
  9. True, look at Oscar Isaac He’s got 20k grafts from donor and beard alone.
