The forums today are far more tame and politically correct compared to several years ago.

Interesting. Can you elaborate please?

An interesting article about flaming and trolling on the internet.. link

A small excerpt:

A psychologist at the University of Texas at Austin told Scientific American that “these days, online comments are ‘extraordinarily aggressive, without resolving anything.’” And a study of forcing users to employ their real names doesn’t decrease the amount of bad behavior they perform that much, either. Is there no hope for the end of Internet trolling and flaming?

Ive heard of all this and while some may or may not be working for others, I have heard that trolls just love to destroy, and a I am a customer of Marals and happy at this time this endless abuse is completely unacceptable on here and I am also about to end my membership, I did not sign up for this pathetic childish immature attacks directly or indirectly against against happy clients and competent surgeons, Make a point and move on is my motto. This endless onslaught is D I S G U S T I N G. . . Soon this forum will fall into complete anarchy unless it is curbed.

Same here. I am ending it now.

Thanks for sharing your procedure though. I have read all the things you have posted so far, your process was very inspiring and helpful for the community. I am not gonna post mine though. I don't wanna face the same pathetic oppositions..

It's kinda disrespectful to the people on this forum to come on and make such a post yet not upload any pics.

chill out i am sure he is busy or something.

it would be great if you elaborate on your experience stinger..

Britboy, as far as I can understand, although charlyboy or popdaddy are not patients of Maral, they won't stop manipulating his threads. Because, that's not what they are trying to do.. (I have mixed feelings about KO, although he stated that he is not impartial, he doesn't seem to be working for someone either)

To this point, the mood they were trying to create was that the practices of Maral regarding to his use of his technicians were aberrant and diverge from other doctors. Now, what you are saying is other doctors are using technicians in their operations to a certain extent and even to the same extent that Maral does. One is more, one is less. Maral is using them in a way that, he is enabling many more people to have hair transplant without spending a fortune on it with his competitive prices, as Ford did with Model T almost a century ago. And so far, almost all patients seem to be happy with it.

The problem with this forum is different though. Britboy is a patient, abcd was a patient, I am a prospective patient. We will post a couple of posts and leave this forum after having our surgery. We have jobs. But these people will stay here forever, trying to manipulate people as it seems this is their full time job. And in this case, since Maral is providing hair transplant for inexpensive prices, the blatant attacks from his competitors will never stop..

Good day all plebeians, some info for you,

 

I'm just a man from England but I keep smelling rats....

Rahal's practice, and multiple surgeries on the same day, doctor attending other surgeries, all technician extractions and implantation's, new faces, new-training technicians.....

It is known that this practice is common for all recommended/coalition physicians and those physicians are mostly not plastic surgeons. I think Maral deserves membership more than the others. I experienced him and his team, his practice and ask this to KO, BUSA, Charlie; did you have any experience with Maral and his team? If not, please give it a rest, you are just repeating yourself you are really showing your prejudice and becoming unsavory - your input is looking decidedly biased.

1st FUE:

-most extractions were done by a lead technician, who was very new to FUE extractions/learning, some were done by the doctor. Doctor was also attending other surgeries.

-the Harris SAFE punch system motorized tool was used.

.8mm punches were used, some at .9mm supposadly

-doctor made incisions

-2 technicians placed grafts (one technician was new to Dr. Rahal's clinic from US, white) and one was an older Asian lady

-1 other new technician was holding, passing grafts to these other techs, rising the operating table chair, up and down and positioning.

-more than one surgery was going on

-clinic was small to mid size , 2 - or maybe 3 operating rooms?

 

2nd FUE Repair

-the same lead tech from first procedure was extracting my grafts about 60% and doctor did the rest. this time he did seem to be more confident, needing no instruction. doctor again was attending to other surgeries.

-the same FUE motorized extraction tool was used, .8mm punch sizes used as confirmed by clinic (like last time)

-doctor made incisions

-for recipient graft placement, did not see same new white technician from US from last time, other then the two Asian ones, and another newer face from last time,

-the younger Asian one that rose my chair up and down last procedure seemed to be partaking in surgeries now

-this clinic is a lot bigger, more than 3 operating rooms, a lot more techs working there, some newer faces.

-more than one procedure going on same time as mine

-definitly less backbreaking for me as I didnt have to be in the chair for such a long time, but again this is a streneous procedure to go through

Boom.

Wow. Keep us posted.

Thanks for the update. You are looking a lot better. Keep us posted.

Thanks for the updates.

People are sick of you guys. You made your arguments. Can you please stop talking?

Forgive me that I am not replying to anything you guys said because I know the discussion will never get anywhere, it never did.

I just wanted to show my perception on things and I believe I made it very clear. If not, let me state it again. You two guys should stop giving opinions in almost every thread and let patients speak for themselves. 1300 posts in 2 years ? I am just curious what you guys do for a living..

You won't hear from me, in this thread anymore.. I am not a patient of Maral so I don't have much to say anyway.

More responses?

Pupdaddy, chill out dude. No need to fanatically defend or object anything. That's my point.

It's very funny that you guys almost don't let patients to speak for themselves. I have seen at least 20 maral patients here, ranging from extremely happy ones(abcd000,british,italian dudes,hesediel....) to mildly happy ones (like Ash1975) to one extremely unhappy case (lluvudasar). What you guys need to do is just shut up and let people speak for themselves. So what you wrote is essentially irrelevant. You don't have any experience with maral, you are not his patient and I disregard almost all of your comments. I advise everyone to do the same.

PS. I have no affiliation with bosley but I thought the video in my signature was funny. I will remove it anyway...

It's very funny to watch KO and Popdaddy to jump at every opportunity against some doctors. Anyone reading this forum should be super careful about forum members who spend their whole time here as if this was kind of their full time job...

I really started to believe that almost %90 of this forum members are some kind of marketing or sales people working for some doctors or products. This place is getting really shitty thanks to these kind of people..

congrats

where did you have your HT?

ask britboy! he is from UK

Your turn! How much time did you spend on researching before having the HT?

guys. i am looking forward to hear your experience..

1) how much time did you spend on researching before making a reservation with an HT doctor..

2) what did you do in this research period?

I would NOT undergo something like this until it was fully tested (side effects, how long it lasted, etc). A NW6 at 23? I really feel for you. I have a good friend that started losing his hair right after high school and ended up there before he got out of college. When did your loss start?

same here..

afters years have passed, how is your hair line now?

I too have the new hair line out line but lack density. My crown isnt too good yet either leading me to think the single shaft grafts (as the ones in front) might pop up first and the multi follicle grafts come in slower for the density. I have no science to back this up but Im hanging onto hope!

hey. did you have a secind HT for the crown area? what is the latest situation?

wow it has been years since you sent your photos. any updates now? how did the medicine work out?

you should make like a book out of these discussions. I am always amazed to read such informative posts.
