  1. You have to keep realistic expectations. Given the difficulty of your case. Im sure it will improve but I wouldn’t expect something radically different. You should consider using fibers once you have a base.
  2. I would like to know @Dr. Felipe Pittella input on some of these comments.
  3. As of today, it calculates the hair miniaturization index (HMI), meaning the hair that is miniaturized in a particular cm2 surface area. However, this gets tricky with patients that are still losing hair like diffuse hair loss patterns or lower Norwoods. It may pick up the natural progression of miniaturization that isn’t indicative of a poor result. But I believe in the future it will be able to count all the hairs to the number. At that point, it’s off to the races IMO. Because then you will be able to have undeniable data about the success of the result. It will undoubtedly help patients and surgeons. For those surgeons who achieve high success but find patients still dissatisfied, they will have data to support the success of their procedure. On the other hand, patients will be able to present their case of dissatisfaction with proof if the growth is subpar. No more guessing. But it’s still a ways from that.
  4. Yup, you can go to the library and look up encyclopedias and get information without a smartphone after labor intensive research. While someone with a smartphone can get the same information in seconds with minimal effort. At the end you will be able to save precious time, give patients the most accurate assessment and focus on the results.
  5. This is CRAZY for 4.5 months It almost looks like fibers which is the biggest compliment I could give.
  6. I have a group chat with @DrTBarghouthi Dr. Bisanga and Dr. Ted Miln. I hope they all work together to build a great protocol.
  7. Excellent results. Very age appropriate. Dr. Mohebi is excellent.
  8. Excellent, this really show cases the results. Thank you for sharing 👏🏼
  9. The app will calculate the hair shaft diameter in the update. It’s a soft launch. But it will calculate both the hair shaft diameter, head size and balding surface area + the exact number of grafts to achieve 70,80, 90 and 100% density. Surgeons will be able to tailor it according to the patient’s goals. All the complaints of “they drew my hairline and didn’t even look at my head” will be obsolete. There are a lot more updates im not privy to mention. But it’s a genius idea.
  10. Every surgeon will have a use for this, it calculates precisely the cm2 of the balding area, and the number of grafts per cm2 necessary based on the individual patients head shape and size. Every surgeon will eventually use some form of AI like this, it’s the future. No more eyeballing. This quantitative data.
  11. I did a podcast with him yesterday. I was going to keep it a secret. But, hey let’s talk about it. In my opinion, this app will BE the gold standard. It’s quantitive data, it precisely measures the scalp and the level of hair miniaturization in a given area. I think the beauty is that it can be altered depending on the patients goals. Hopefully I release it soon. This app is for surgeons though, I don’t think you’ll get much use as a patient. Unless you’re just curious.
  12. I did an interesting podcast with Dr. Pittella yesterday. We talked about graft count. It’s difficult to gauge over a picture. But the number you need can vary depending on the size of your head. As for Yaman, I have always felt he’s a good option for those with high budget constraints. Though, I wouldn’t do any temple points.
  13. Looks like it’s definitely improving. I would suggest combing it to the side, to provide maximum illusion of density.
  14. Looking good. You can definitely get on the topical dutasteride now.
  15. How did it look before? Do you have similar angles.
  16. I think the whole row thing is blown way out of proportion. Look forward to seeing your updates 🙏
  17. You should NOT have surgery with a clinic you don’t have 100% confidence in, airline tickets can be changed.
