What does your donor look like?

Hard to judge by this picture. The angle, the lighting, the styling. He could also be wearing concealer.

I’ve said it before, if I were balding topicals would be my first option. If the topicals don’t work, then consider low dose oral fin or dut.

I used to get posts almost daily of these two particular individuals making claims about me and this forum. Honestly I don’t care that’s why I never reached out to you. But yea I think their behavior goes unchecked, especially since both of these individuals have a history of creating multiple aliases and accounts to push their narrative. Apparently Jimcraig accused me of being Dr. Bicers rep, which is a flat out lie. I was sent a screenshot a while back. Overall, I don’t think this behavior is being moderated. Fair enough, I’m a mod and somewhat of a public figure, so I suppose it comes with the territory. But you better believe that eventually there will be lawsuits from surgeons that are being attacked. Our forum has been around for 22 years. In the beginning, Pat let everything fly, people said whatever they wanted about whoever they wanted. But he quickly learned that all it did was make the community a toxic place. Pat learned that a forum is like a garden. In order for the garden to flourish you need to pull out the weeds. Otherwise, the weeds take over. I’ve had the privilege to be mentored by someone whose seen it all. This is just my 0.2 cents. You have every right to run your community as you see fit.

There have been lawsuits against Reddit, but they’re futile. What would end up happening is supermods would take over the sub and probably ban the posters and remove the mods. Wallstreet bros main mod sued Reddit cause he was removed and banned from his own sub. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/reddit-sued-wallstreetbets-trademark-settlement-1235327626/amp/ Could the surgeon sue patients? Yea. It’s probably a hard case to win for the surgeon. But it will be very costly for both parties. Our lawsuit ended up getting dropped. But we spent tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. I don’t know everything that has been said cause I don’t go there. But I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a lot slanderous posts and unsubstantiated allegations. If posts are done with intent to cause financial harm, the doctor has a case. Especially if it’s speculative in nature. Overall, I think it’s gonna be hard to prove and expensive. But it will be expensive for both parties.

We have not had any threats, and none of our posts have been inflammatory. Anything published on a public forum can be used in a court of law. We were sued in 2009 by Alvi Armani, claiming that we were creating these aliases to attack him on this forum. At that time, we were not vetting these posters. Since then, we have reached out to patients to obtain their names and date of surgery to confirm they are indeed the surgeon's patients. Threads from legitimate patients will not be taken down because we have done our due diligence to ensure these patients are legitimate. Unfortunately, there have been cases where a handful of unhappy patients create multiple aliases to attack a particular surgeon. This practice shouldn't be allowed, and it isn't in our community. There is a poster, jimcraig152, aka lopsided, on Reddit that was caught creating another alias on here, str8npluggy. He posed as an interested patient of Dr. Diep to hide his identity, but his IP address turned out to be the same. Qui Bono was caught creating two separate aliases as well. I no longer visit your platform because these types of individuals go unchecked. I had to ask our community to stop sending threads and posts about our community and me, mainly from a few profiles that only post about this forum. I can only imagine what has been said about Dr. Diep. Whether you believe he's bad or unethical, there is a responsibility to verify serious allegations, especially given the anonymous nature of Reddit. That is just my advice. We have learned that freedom of speech doesn't mean you're free to say whatever you want about anybody; it could be very costly. Good luck,

Have you submitted online consultations using that link?

I've been on it now for over 6 months, no sides at all except my body hair grows quick and my leg hair is longer.

Hard to judge without before pictures. You may want to add more density even after a successful procedure.

My first suggestion is to use our advanced search page to research some of these surgeons and review their results.

Most of us would kill to have this amount of density. That's just a typical whorl.

Stunning 🤩

I have heard of her but haven't seen any reviews on this forum. That doesn't mean she is bad, but more research is necessary. We have a list of our recommendations here. https://hairtransplantnetwork.com/best-hair-transplant-surgeons

I have never heard of this clinic. In my opinion, Dr. Nader is one of the best in Mexico. https://hairtransplantnetwork.com/dr-luis-nader

We're not really in a position to provide advice on using illegal drugs. I don't believe there is any evidence that these drugs can affect hair growth. No one has studied this, so we don't know.

He posted it already. Keep in mind this is with a slight comb over from the sides, the crown is significantly thinning.

This is the hairline that I drew a page back. It’s not straight at all. It’s curved not flat and straight.

I mean they’re not lying. I tried to be polite when I said the hairline was too aggressive, especially considering you’re balding on top significantly. Maybe if you just had a high hairline. Everyone likes to give examples like Ronald Reagan as older men with juvenile hairlines. But the reality is these are few and far in between. Also, they have full density, not just a low hairline with a thin crown. I think the hairline I drew was a lot better. Hair transplants do not return your teenage hair that’s the truth.

There is no ethical surgeon that would guarantee success. There are no guarantees, its that simple. If you can’t accept the risk, don’t get surgery. Going to a quality surgeon puts the odds in your favor, but its not a guarantee. Furthermore, no one can guarantee your expectations or your happiness. The results may be good, but you might still be unhappy. So for multiple reasons, there are no guarantees.

You joined to defend a clinic, nothing weird here.

Where is this clinic, did the doctor do extractions?

Xyons Topical Finasteride reduced serum DHT by 36% on average. But looks like it reduced it by a lot more for you. I would consider their Topical Dutasteride. Their studies were promising. Out of 10 participants the highest percentage was 48% with 3 participants actually going up in DHT. I have been taking it for one month and have zero sides. I didn’t get any sides from their fin, but I only used it 3x per week. To me, dutasteride makes more sense topically, given its molecular weight.

Excellent work. I have been very impressed by Dr. Gujrati. He's also a hair transplant patient himself, which helps since he has a unique perspective being both a surgeon and patient.

There is no perfect surgeon. Surgery is a gamble. Even with the best surgeon, the results are not guaranteed. If you're unwilling to accept this, I suggest not getting surgery. Remember doing nothing is never a bad choice.
