Aftermath

I agree you look much better than pre op, who was your surgeon? Hairline shape looks like it could be Farjo, assuming you’re UK based?

One thing you have to consider with these Spanish surgeons working predominately on Spanish patients is that the Spanish have insane donor and the best hair characteristics for coverage when it comes to HT’s so results will always look better than those done on non Spaniards with the same amount of grafts

It’ll differ clinic to clinic. If you’re going to turkey id check that they use microscopes since you don’t want multi’s in the hairline it’ll look horrible, and if they don’t use microscopes then that’s a hell of a lot more likely

You can 100% see from the first video the scalp would be visible if the light was better, this guy is pretty much in shadow. As other people have said here lighting plays an important part, I’m not saying results should be showcased under spotlights, but dim lighting really gives a false impression of density

Awesome! Hasson did the same for me, the guy is a legend

Wow well I’m that instance it’s no wonder his waiting list is huge

This is all well and good and I’m glad you’re happy but if you’re not past the 8 month mark and don’t have results to post it doesn’t really mean much (maybe you are, I haven’t checked). Bottom line Is someone can feel this way but if after a year the result isn’t right then that opinion will change even if he was the nicest most professional guy on the planet. And that’s my issue with this konior trend. Most people seem to be going off matt1978 results (which were real good) but there is a real lack of actual results posted by patients on this site (from what I’ve seen) and for some reason people are declaring konior the second coming. He’s a good surgeon from the little I’ve seen from him but we need more results to fully judge imo. One of the more recent results in the patient posted thread wasn’t great (I’m not going to embarrass anyone so I’m not going to name). Also the stick and place technique sounds interesting, but isn’t he doing like 1k grafts a day, so a 2 day session will yield 2k, which is nothing for a high NW. this also gos a way to explain the large waiting list since he can probably only see 3 or 4 patients a week (guesstimating)

H&W probably have less failed cases than any other surgeon on here, especially when you consider how many results are posted. I’ve had my surgeries with dr Hasson and it’s been life changing.

I would guess it’s inserting 1 graft as a time as the hole is made for it rather than making a bunch of holes before placing any. But to answer your question, id go for Hasson, He’s consistently been considered one of the worlds most elite surgeons for well over 10 years, konior is the in surgeon on here at the moment as Rahal was 5 years or so ago but there’s very little in the way of patient posted results over one year post op (unless I’ve missed them)

Oh, ok I got you. I didn’t realise ER was based in Chicago, I’ve never watched it. That makes more sense since I didn’t take you for one of these konior “fanboys”😂. Not to trash konior, he’s great, but the way people talk about him on here is ridiculous, especially since I’ve not actually seen that many year plus results posted on here with him

Tbh, Cosmo a cool dude so no disrespect but I literally did an eye roll when I read that post😂 konior is a good surgeon but the whole konior thing on this site at the moment is hilarious

I know it’s easy for me to say because I’m not the one living with it, but at two months is when you’re looking at your worst. There will be shock loss likely in both donor and recipient areas and any transplanted hairs will have shed. its just a waiting game at this point, there’s not much you can do but wait and see how it pans out. It’s certainly going to improve in both recipient and donor areas but obsessing over it won’t make it happen quicker. make sure you’re on hair loss meds, rogaine and fin and wait it out.

A few people have commented on rahals lack of time in the operating room, so are you saying they’re lying, mistaken, or is this a smear campaign?

I’ve been doing once a day for about 5 years now, no difference for me at all

The marketing seems to be unravelling lately on this site when I look at certain posts, there doesn’t seem that there’s that presence in the clinic posted results lately either. What do you mean by your last sentence though? You hope the admins get paid to defend him? Do you mean you hope they don’t get paid to defend him? This is a great site that helps a lot of people out but there are clinics on here that shouldn’t be endorsed imo, numerous surgeons who have either questionable ethics or questionable results or in some instances both. do you have a thread with your Rahal results?

Did u pull the trigger on Rahal after?

It did for me but it’s all relative and again, without pictures it’s difficult to comment

I didn’t have any removed they just worked around what was there and added density. Without pictures it’s difficult to give advice tbh

I’m not saying he duped you, lateral slit isn’t an easy technique to perfect so it’d be down to the surgeons skill how well he performed the technique. I’ve been to a (so called) top surgeon before H&W and had a similar issue after my first procedure. Do you have pictures?

I’ve had lateral slit and I can style my hair anyway I want to, combed back, side part, combed forward, spiked, messy, whatever. I think the question is, did you have true lateral slit or did your surgeon just call what he did lateral slit?

Agreed, can’t really assess a hairline result with a combover style cut covering the work. There is obviously a good aesthetic improvement here though.

Konior has a good reputation but I honestly feel like I’ve just not seen enough patient posted results, and some that I’ve seen haven’t blown me away. A better question imo would be H&W or Lorenzo imo

Yes you are obviously proscar and minoxidil are beneficial, the rest is them taking advantage imo

Really really great result. Lorenzo is awesome! I agree with the above, the natural curl looks great and adds massively to the result, it also looks way better than the photo where you straightened it.

There was a show in the UK, this was late 90’s/early 00’s, it was called TFI Friday hosted by Chris evens (not the actor) and MM was on there one night, there was above spotlighting and I remember even back then thinking how thin his hair was, I’m talking almost totally see through. Doesn’t seem to be any evidence of the interview online, but I’ve always wanted to see it again. I was just beginning to experience hair loss myself at this time so I was really paying attention to it
