    True story😂

    I think you answered your own question...
  3. Aftermath
    Oh ok, I thought there was some above your left ear from the pics, that’s the area I was talking about, usually treatment for AA is steroid injections if I’m nit mistaken
  4. Aftermath
    Did you discuss the scalp alopecia before you left for the operation with the doc? What did he have to say? I notice they’ve extracted right from the boarder of the alopecia patch on your head?
  5. Aftermath
    How come they did chest hair instead of beard hair? Do you have some alopecia in the beard area? also, and sorry if I said and I missed it, but how many were from the head and how many from the chest?
  6. Aftermath
    Again there are clips in making it look worse, let’s have a pic with it styled pre op to get a fair comparison as the post op pic is. Wet hair and hair with clips in to expose weaknesses isn’t a fair comparison imo. Not saying you don’t look fantastic now because you do, I just think the difference between pre and post op is exaggerated with pre op pics that are wet and/or clips. Its entirely possible if the pre op was styled and the post op pics wet for it to look better pre op when it’s presented in this way. You look like you had a great head of hair pre op and I bet it looked good styled

    Yeah? I though Rahal offered free touch ups when he fails to get the desired yield?

    I’d say you’re a pretty good candidate as long as your donor is suitable which looked ok in the vid. Not sure if I’d be tempted to do strip though as it’ll maximise your grafts and you seem to wear your hair long enough on the sides and back, since you do have a lot of loss for your age
  9. Aftermath
    Pretty sure win was a Rahal patient

    Looks great after, but why are the pics pre op wet and post op dry, seems an unfair comparison. Do you have pre op pics with dry hair styled as the post op pics were? Would give a better idea of the difference

    I’ve had this suspicion because I’ve seen quite a few people drop off the face of the earth on this site when their results get to 7 or 8 months and look like there are yield issues. Maybe just a coincidence and they’re just out living their lives?, guess we won’t get confirmation if it’s true anyway. Those kind of threads can be annoying though and if it actually is down to that kinda tactic will skew the results and not allow prospective patients to make a decision based on informed consent.

    What I was saying is just have a scar revision without taking out any extra grafts with the scar (or another procedure), but Imo I wouldn’t FUE into it at this point either, the scar is just too wide for FUE, you’d be using up a hell of a lot of grafts for a scar that wide. Also SMP is ok for smaller scars but I don’t think it’d give a great result there. Consult with a few top docs renowned for scar revision but imo and if it were me I’d revise the scar allow healing re-assess then look at FUE and SMP options later down the line. Just make sure before the revision you stretch the scalp and afterwards be careful not to stretch by doing things like heavy weights

    H&W’s reps are great, speak to Doug he will give you any and all the info you want. But as said above, it’s all about results and I’ve personally never seen a failed H&W FUE result so they must be doing something right. H&W would never have a newbie doing the extractions, there’s a reason they’re considered the top clinic on the planet. Their staff turnaround isn’t high and over the years the techs have stayed remarkably consistent, and if there are newbies they work their way up, they won’t be performing any of the extractions. But as stated I know for an absolute fact that they have dedicated people doing the extractions and these people are trained to the highest standard

    I read back through the thread earlier and I noticed you said it felt tighter this time and he couldn’t get the desired number of grafts, seems to me that you’re someone that’s prone to stretching, but the doctor overestimated the scalp laxity. If it was closed under tension then the scar would far more likely to stretch. Like I said consult with a few top surgeons about a revision, but don’t take any grafts in the strip and make sure you do a few months of scalp stretching exercises leading up 2 the surgery. I think the scar could substantially be reduced so it’s cosmetically acceptable, but you won’t have the “pencil thin” scar that people talk about. If the density of the recipient area isn’t dense enough for you when the year is up you could also think about extracting the remaining grafts your doc wanted via FUE to fill in any gaps that might be there.

    There is no supposedly, they have been with them for years, I started going to them in 2007 visited multiple times up to 2015 and called in recently.
  16. Aftermath
    Couldn’t have said it better myself

    The scar could likely be improved with a revision without taking any grafts... HOWEVER, there is no surgeon on the planet that could give this guy a pencil thin scar as it will stretch to a certain extent whatever happens, this is patient physiology and I know konior is the “in” surgeon at the moment, but I don’t care if Jesus Christ performs the surgery this guy will have a wider than average scar! Although I do feel a revision has the potential to at least half it, providing the patient performs the scalp stretching exercises and follows post op instructions to the letter.
  18. Aftermath
    They usually ask this in the pre-op medical history form, but this depends on whether the patient has had prior ops, or thinks to mention it.
  19. Aftermath
    This probably isn’t even surgeon error (unless he underestimated how tight the closure was). Some people just have very stretchy collagen and as their scar heals it’ll stretch, it’s highly likely this is down to patient physiology
  20. Aftermath
    Yes 100%
  21. Aftermath
    This is correct, they have two dedicated FUE techs (Carmen and Elina if I remember correctly). These techs have been with them for years... since I started going to them. They’re both incredibly focussed, ambitious and professional and I would 100% trust them with my scalp. You can see from the patient and clinical posted results that the results are absolutely incredible and equal their FUT surgeries. In fact I’m pretty sure there hasn’t been one H&W FUE patient on this site who has had results short of fantastic. So yeah you just need to check any H&W thread to see just how different they are to the so called hair mills. In fact they could not be further away on the spectrum
  22. Aftermath
    Defiantly a stretched scar and not shockloss. How was the scar before the last procedure?
  23. Aftermath
    Correct me if I’m wrong but Rahal came up under armarni too right?
  24. Aftermath
    I think it depends person to person tbh, I’ve been on it 12 years without any drop off
  25. Aftermath
    I just don’t think you throw around the term hair mill lightly. Maybe you could’ve chose a better term. One of the premier clinics for results in the entire world should never be referred to as a hair mill when that term has so many negative connotations on this site. I think I get what your point it, you just used a term that I think is totally unjust for that clinic that’s why I felt the need to defend them
