Very High Density forehead reduction (3361 grafts)
thatoldchestnut replied to Fue3361's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
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. -
100% Terrific example of a transplant that isn't too greedy but has a huge impact on overall appearance.

2659 grafts, Dr. Bloxham - 6 month update
thatoldchestnut replied to John1991's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
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!). -
If this is the illusion of density, you're hair loss's Harry Houdini! Stunning result, enjoy that mop sir!

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!

Dr Hasson 660 hairline grafts update
thatoldchestnut replied to Aftermath's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
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" 😁 -
Dr Bisanga FUE 2000 - March 2019
thatoldchestnut replied to BOW32's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
As good as it gets! Enjoy that mop! 😁 -
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.

How to undo a hair transplant ASAP
thatoldchestnut replied to Nebulosity's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
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! -
Dr Bisanga FUE 2000 - March 2019
thatoldchestnut replied to BOW32's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
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. -

thatoldchestnut replied to BOW32's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
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. -
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 😁).

Finasteride Results - 1.5 Years
thatoldchestnut replied to hairlossPA's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
If you're not having any adverse reaction to the meds in the form of side effects, stay the course. I'm confident your hair will bounce back! I went through various sheds/cycles (been taking generic for ~4 years, my thread/pics in my profile story) which, although not as noticeable due to having good hair when I started, definitely impacted overall density. Four years down the road (pics of mine are 1/3 years after starting) I don't regret starting and sticking to fin for a moment, and can't help but wonder how much worse my hair would have been if I hadn't stuck it out. I don't know whether you're currently using minox but (anecdotally) diffusers seem to respond very well to that too. -
400+ and 2900 Grafts FUE with Feriduni
thatoldchestnut replied to Gasthoerer's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Interesting approach/case Gast! My personal opinion on the "next step" would be to go with option 2 with either Feriduni or Konior (personally I think choosing Konior is about as close as one can get to guaranteeing oneself a great result!). That said, if you are happy to proceed in smaller steps then why fix what ain't broken? All the best, whatever you decide. -
Caucasian Blonde 2500 FUE Dr. Bhatti *Tracker*
thatoldchestnut replied to Lennney's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
I do not wish to discourage you and I certainly hope I am proved completely wrong, but that looks like an awfully large surface area to cover with only 2500 grafts. Given the aggressiveness of the design it would need to be quite dense to maintain a natural appearance, imo. All the best! Edit: I should add the caveat that it's sometimes difficult to tell (for me, at least! I'm sure the Dr. is far more capable :p) when transplanting around existing hair exactly how much of an impact that may have on the number of grafts required, so I could be completely wrong! -
FUE Turkey 17 years old NW3/2, Help choosing clinic
thatoldchestnut replied to leonardojak's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Admittedly he'd look older, but the guy in the thumbnail would look like a proper alpha if he shaved his head and ditched the piercings. Looks like kind of a dork with that system- 21 replies

2200 Grafts FUE - DR KAAN
thatoldchestnut replied to doctoroctopus's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
I have been following Pekiner on the Italian forums, quite a few good cases on there and I'm sure this one will be no exception. You can really see the influence of Keser on his hairline design, great stuff! -
Finasteride Results - 1.5 Years
thatoldchestnut replied to hairlossPA's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
This just goes to show what makes some of those unbelievable transplant results so magical. Not to diminish the surgeon's influence but this shows just how much impact finasteride can have on its own. No doubt if you'd had 4.5k grafts we'd all be oohing and aahing in large part due to the influence of meds! Congratulations, thrilled for you.
