absolutely stunning Nicole, the smp work looks fantastic too

i'm going left FUT and right FUE

Why?

Because I think the guy on the left will need more lifetime grafts so you decided to go FUT first to obtain those

What is the 'Golden Harvest Technique' ?

Is this a new FUE technique or a sales gimmicky thing?

I would say the cheaper Turkish and Indian doctors doing exclusively FUE have become more popular on this forum now

However the results achieved by ordinary Joes who used post their FUT results here from Rahal were way better than anything I'm seeing from these FUE clinics right now

Your own result turned out fantastic, great that you were off enjoying life with your new hair

I think both techniques have their place in the right hands

However looking through the 'patient posted results' on this forum I have noticed the following:

Dr Bhatti's FUE results seem hit and miss to me, some good , some poor and then a fair amount of patients stop posting for one reason or another, so we can only speculate wheter results have been good or bad here

Dr Fellars FUE, I can't find any

Now, for FUE and Strip patient posted results from other recommended doctors I would say there are way more dissatisfied FUE patients than strip ones

Again this is just my own conclusion from what I've seen on this site in the patient posted section

So I would conclude from this that strip is more consistent than FUE

I'll dig through my collection and post it. If not, I'll take some.

Thanks, I look forward to seeing those other pics

wow, great results, great honest pics, I guess they don't call the FUT (strip) method the gold standard for nothing , thanks for sharing your results

have you any top down pics in photo conditions similar to your pre op pic?

also any pics of the crown now?

front looks good

the women even better

really excellent result and great photo presentation

you've come along way pma, well done, very encouraging early growth on the crown

How many grafts did you get? Body hair or scalp? Where were the grafts placed? Looks like the hairline is thick just everything behind the hairline. It could be shock loss, was your hair loss stabilized before the orocedure? I'm going to Dr. Dogonay this the first time I've seen anything remotely bad. Although it's still only 6 months, my fear is that perhaps you didn't get enough grafts, and maybe the shock loss was hair that was already on its way out, usually that hair doesn't grow back. Best to check with the doctor get his thoughts.

i've seen a few patients post poor growth with Dr Doganay

some of the users on this forum with poor growth were bfa316, xkos48 and buzz2, this put me off him and I chose a different surgeon for my own ht

Hello Broncos22

 

There are several great surgeons in the world depending on what you can afford.

Choosing the most expensive doctor doesn't always mean you get the best HT or surgery; look at the hollywood stars!

 

I Had a great HT FUE 1524 graft procedure in Chandigarh India by DR. Tejinder Bhatti at darlingbudsindia and so have several others on this forum.

 

I have been overly criticized for helping people like you, just by mentioning their website.

If you need any information, feel free to ask me any questions even a message.

Still on your promotion campaign I see even though you have no idea what your results will be given that you are only a few months post op?

Why don't you create your own thread and show us your monthly progress right up to 12 months, this will be the best way to promote your doctor and give other females in a similar situation to yourself with valuable information. HTs for females are often overlooked so you have a great opportunity here to showcase your results.

Good luck with your results

This looks good now, however a couple of things

1. The before and after pics are not a true comparison with short hair before and longer hair after, there was a lot of hair there before the procedure even though is was cut short , Fin could be a big factor here too

2. The patient looks to have dyed his hair for the grown out results, I don't understand why guys do this to show a proper comparison to pre op, it can create an illusion of fullness imo

3. This patient is aged 30 but has only 1000-1100 lifetime head grafts available to him now, I think the approach was too aggressive

I think it's more to do with the length of the hair, a lot of times if you leave it grow longer it will appear thinner.

It's all about an illusion of density so we all will have a 'sweet spot' length that makes our hair look fuller.

It's trial and error to find that length for each individual.

My two cents anyways.

man that is tough going, sorry mate i can't offer you any advice but it's got to be surgery related surely? It maybe a particularly severe case of nerve damage, is there even a test that can measure that?? I don't see how a doctor can just look at your scalp and say it's not nerve damage, obviously something is amiss underneath your skin?

Perhaps another doc will read this and chimes in

Konior does fue as well but if it's a money issue, well, ok, it's your head but i'd really wait another year or 2 to save up if you can

wow, Fut + 6500 grafts + hasson & wong = mindblowing results

congrats uk2015

also great to see properly presented pictures by a patient not like many others who post here

Why don't you do FUT? You seem like a textbook candidate. Plus, I think Koniors artistry and hairlines are better than Dr Bh.

^this

If I had the choice I would choose Konior all day long and twice on Sunday

doesnt look very natural to me, looks like make up on his head with the two tones

The problem here is that the grafts were spread out over too large an area, the 4394 grafts should have all gone from hairline to mid scalp, the crown should have been left alone

I'm seeing this too often with Dr Bhatti, it's poor planning imo

But i'm sure darlinglocks will post soon about how great this is..........

I have to agree with mick50 there, I think your hair looks really good, you are obviously looking for perfection which is understandable but unrealistic ,your hair is so dense behind the front thinish part that modern hair transpants just cant replicate imo ,I also read your comments about your friends slagging off your hair, in my opinion that's not on, i'd be looking for new friends if I was you. I wish I had hair like yours , you look great to me

thanks for updating sting, do you have any top down photos? I would say that you are definitely a slow grower but you still have time on your side, you are entering the critical months now, fingers crossed for you

I will try to take some in direct light next time just for you Johnny. Also you couldn't just turn your monitor brightness up could you, I know you vikings aren't exactly known for your brains lol:D

even monitor brightness wouldn't be able to see through all that dye you use

I am happy with the result in the frontal scalp area - a huge transformation compared to where I was before.

However in the mid scalp region, I had no/very less growth of the transplanted area.

I am checking with my doctor to see if the next HT can increase the density of my mid scalp and have some density on my crown. The challenge is the availability of donor area for which we are planning to use my chest hair, which is available in plenty.

 

On the whole I would say I am satisfied with the results.

if you are happy that's the main thing

You didn't have many grafts transplanted overall and even less in that midscalp section so that area was never going to be dense, from the post ops it looks like just a scattering of grafts were placed there.

Personally I'm not a fan of body hair in the recipient area. doesnt look very natural especially when it's needed to cover large balding areas, only time I think body hair is useful is perhaps beard grafts into a strip scar

To me, you needed 8000 head grafts minimum to get a decent result, but if you're happy that's all that matters

that mid section is definitely starting to fill in, very early days

looks like you can shave it very tight at the back and sides without the strip scar being very obvious
