Harebrained

Very encouraging results. It will be interesting to see your progress in the months ahead. Please keep us updated.

Wishing you the best Lorenzo. You've been a great asset to the HT industry. Best of luck beating this back into submission. Godspeed.

Just to add, I think Arochahair has some really good points

Yeah, I think any more work and you need to strengthen up the front. It's amazing what you can do with a strong hairline. There's no turning back at this point. I would make sure you got multiple consultations until you know exactly what your up against.

Good strategy. You will always have options prior to a transplant, but once you start down that road you can never go back.

Congratulations on your experience and results. Some before/afters would be great!

Great doctor, even he will encourage you to do your homework. Know what you're getting into, wouldn't hurt to get more than one opinion just to extend your knowledge.

Please do yourself a favor, slow down. It is not acceptable any so called clinic to ask for a down payment before even speaking to the doctor who will be slicing the back of your head open from ear to ear. Do you have at least a website for this doctor. I can only find minimal information about him. I can already see some red flags from what your posting. Take it from someone who was severely scarred and damaged from a transplant that was preformed by a clinic that had no business ever owning a scalpel. The money you spend will mean nothing to you in ten years or so but you'll have your transplant results forever, good or bad. I'm not making any judgment on this doctor but do your research my friend and get multiple opinions and on site consultations.

Thanks for your reply Dr.Bhatti. It's always encouraging when highly respected doctors chime in.

I'm also very curios about the increase cost. It would be good to get at least an idea without the common "every case is different and needs to be evaluated" reply. Great video by the way! Thanks for posting....

I think if your considering BHT you really need to be picky about who you choose. It takes more than experience with FUE to get good results due to the many variables that exist. As you describe it you may be a good candidate. From what I know beard hair is almost always the first choice. Consider at least looking at Dr. Umars work if you haven't already.

You're certainly a fast grower. Thanks for posting the video. Videos with adequate lighting are always great to see. You have very nice results.

From your photos you have an amazing transition started. Will be great to see your final results. You're certainly in the right hands when it comes to high Norwood cases.

Any doctor worth considering should have dozens if not hundreds of befores and afters, no excuses. There are plenty of patients willing to show their transplants either with photos or video, often even revealing their identity. Do you know for a fact he was represented here or is that just what he told you???? Hard to believe if he was ever here he doesn't have at least a few dozen good results to showcase.

To follow up on my previous post, I think you're going to have to wait this out for a while to get a better idea of the end result. Maybe its easier for me to say, but take some comfort in the fact no one can look at both sides of your face at the same time.

There are a number of good doctors recommened on this site that can certainly help your situation. I personally would recommend reaching out to a few to get some first hand advice. I wouldn't necessarily even consider your case a repair as much as a refinement.

I completely agree with chris39. It's the response that would make me run for the hills. Not that it matters but I'm sure there's a story behind it.

I can undeestand your mixed feelings about your result. I would say however you were a difficult case from the start. Take your time in choosing your next Dr. Personally I think you have good hair texture for BHT. There is certainly potential for you to gain some density. Often for high Norwood cases, hair transplantation is first and foremost more of a journey than an answer. Please coninue to keep us posted here in the following months and longer. You have an interesting case and in the hands of the right doctor you can expect some great improvement ahead.

Thanks for your reply HT2016. You stated you dont live in India but traveled there specifically for a hair transplant. It seems from your original post that all the doctors you were considering were from India. Did you consider any other doctors from other countries like Turkey or doctors recommened by this site,or was it just easier for you to travel to India. Your results do look good. Happy growing.

HT2016, your transplant looks very good. It sounds as if you did your homework prior to selecting your Dr. Can you please tell us how you were able to get photos of your extracted grafts and the surgical equipment. Just curious did you take them or a member of the staff?

Wow, if he blew you off that easily with no eplanation, then you should definitely be looking elsewhere!

This is going to turn out very nicely!

I would want to know how involved is the Dr in each step of the procedure. How many transplants per day and/or week is preformed by that Dr. Maybe I'm overly cautious but I've always been leary of clinics that offer every cosmetic procedure under the sun while performing hair transplants regardless the participation of the doctor. I once got a hair transplant where they were also doing regular hair cuts, nails, and spa treatments right down the hall. Needless to say the result spoke for itself.

Nice work. Soft and refined complemnted by that new styling.

Awesome! Great transformation. Looks great short. Toppok not required. Dr. Wongs got to be the surgeon when it comes to high NW cases.
