  1. Legendary thread. Celebrities; a relatively unknown doc; giga-density; proprietary blend hair loss/sexy times pills; random boners; and, one satisfied customer. 10/10. Would binge read again. Come to Brazil, exile.
  2. Looks very promising John. Exciting times ahead! You had what appeared to be a pretty great starting point, so this should be a great end result, if all goes well (which it appears to be!).
  3. If this is the illusion of density, you're hair loss's Harry Houdini! Stunning result, enjoy that mop sir!
  4. Hah, I recognise this chap from BelliCapelli. Is he back for a touch-up? Great result.
  5. Have been a fan for a long time, Dr. De Freitas really is the best in the game at the moment imo. Can only echo the sentiments of the guys above vis-à-vis the exceptionally high presentation standards (these should be the norm for any clinic worth their salt!). Also watched the video, two monster results. I would never for a moment imagine either patient had elected to have a hair transplant if I saw them, remarkable stuff!
  6. My hair is super fine but as long as you let it grow and don't have it thinned when cut it'll end up looking like Pitt's after enough cycles! Kind of an amusing problem to have on a HT forum, "hmm, I think i'd like to grow my hair out to look like Brad Pitt's" 😁
  7. Extremely happy for you. You must feel like a new man; you certainly look like one. All the best and congratulations to both you and the clinic.
  8. Looks fairly loosely tied. I think (though am by no means an authority!) that traction alopecia, assuming that's more or less what you're referring to, is only really a risk when the hair is tied very tightly and is kept in said state repeatedly over an extended period. Wouldn't have thought this hairstyle (regardless of it being on HT'd hair) would put you at much risk.
  9. Yup. I brought this up in a thread presented by the clinic and was told I was enacting some sort of agenda against the surgeon. Best of luck to OP and completely agree with JLDD and others that H&W will more than likely set you straight!
  10. Looks like great work. Completely transformed his look with a modest graft count. Job done!
  11. I completely agree that it's OP's prerogative to decide to not take medication. Saying that it's wrong to even mention it though, seems a bit ridiculous to say the least. It's my opinion, I was merely offering some fairly logical advice. Best of luck to OP whatever he decides.
  12. Killer starting point. If this grows in as expected you should be in for a treat! I know you say you have never taken medication but I would highly recommend considering it. You're having a fairly aggressive frontal restoration at only 30 y/o, you want to retain the result (not to mention the rest of your hair) for as long as possible! Add to that the fact that, based on my own anecdotal observations, cases where the PT has a significant amount of miniaturising hair at the outset benefit tremendously from the use of meds.
  13. Said this quite a few times on this site, but I couldn't disagree more. The hairline is not ultra-aggressive (and even if it were significantly lower I don't think it would look 'weird'). I see guys on the street at his age with hair like this reasonably frequently. When I see them I don't think: 'lol must be a HT'; I think: 'lucky bastard, good for you!'. Does having a great head of hair into your 50s put you in the minority? Probably. Does it set alarm bells ringing about possible cosmetic surgery? Definitely not. This work is so refined that I (and I suspect almost no one else) would give it a second glance (other than for admiration purposes, ofc 😁).
