you said he's the best in turkey and they all say that there, we've had a Turk come on here and say the opposite, he's not very popular among Turkish patients, he has a small following in the Italian forum but if you follow it, you'll see it's way behind the likes of dr Koray and Keser and even Pekkiner at this stage. If you're a fan of his work fair enough, if you think he's the best in turkey, that's your opinion but don't try to promote him by saying that everybody is saying the same as you are because we know it's not true. I'm not saying anything negative about the doctor I'm just saying not everybody is saying what you're saying so it is disingenuous to say that.

no they don't.

didn't you? you said the point here is that without an apple to apple comparison " it's hard to know"... right after that you said it's obviously been a success but before that you didn't know...so that's why I commented, it does the clinic a disservice on what was good work...I think it is pretty clear from the pre op to the final result much progress was made. I get what you're saying, ideally that's what we'd want to see and I'm with you on that, but you can still make out the change here, that's all I tried to get across.

1. Yes, if you're over 2k grafts the hotels included, under 2k grafts it's on you. It's like 80ish euros per night if its on you but I did 2100 grafts and they threw in 2 nights hotel. 2. The hotel provides a shuttle directly to the clinic and back, there are usually multiple Lorenzo patients in the hotel so you'll get to know others and hop in the shuttle with them. 3. Lorenzo does implanting, his girls do the extraction. He uses an implanter pen so it's a 1 step process to implant, no incisions done. 4. I answered above 5. clinic/hotel are about 20-25 min from the airport.

geez you guys like to nitpick, this is clearly a successful transplant. If he grew it out preop it may have shown a bit more hair but it would've looked like crap or he wouldn't have chosen to go with the "bald" look. You don't get a transplant if your hair looks great pre op. He went from unhappy to happy, and that for any patient is the win, and that's the real point here.

absolutely

can you post an example of what you think is a good transplant by comparison.

absolutely.

I think Koniors just the best doc in the us via fut or fue so he's my 1. I think I prefer Dr Hassons fue of late over Diep so hes' my 2 in the us right behind is Dr Diep and then Cooley just because I haven't been able to find a lot of examples of Cooley fue. I know and met guys who have had fue with the others and seen the work up close, can't say the same for Cooley fue. I have seen his fut results up close and they are world class so I think he's an amazing doc but I just wish I had more of his fue results to go off of. As such I'd rate the other 3 above him.

Combination of feedback I've received and his work, I think he's a solid doc but I wouldn't put him in my list of elite docs, but that list is subjective his work may be that for you...but combined with the feedback I've heard which i'd rather not get into specifically, it just makes him not someone I'd feel comfortable recommending. Nor do I think fue his is specialty anyway, I think he is primarily an fut doc.

I assume you are talking fue if you're talking Dr Erdogan. In the US for fue in Erodgans league, maybe a couple. I think the world of Dr Cooley but haven't see enough of his fue work to say it's in that league. No comment on Dr Lindsey which is probably comment enough. Dr Konior. Dr Diep if you're intent on the US, if you're open to Canada, dr Hassons fue has put up stunning results recently and is really impressing me i'd look at those 3 on this side of the world otherwise get to Europe.

interesting Dr Konior posted fairly recently about using nape hair for hairline softening. He thought they were valuable in many cases and not a last resort option. Beard and chest hair I would agree should be a last resort in the event your scalps no longer viable.

I hear ya, as said, I'm not a specialist on Hattingen myself, I generally trust Gasthroers eye enough that if i were looking at fut I'd take a look at a doc he thinks highly of but if you can't find patients then, I agree it's not worth the risk. DeVroyes a talent, I do think it comes down to client demographic with him, Bisanga and Feriduni market far more heavily than he does and they have forum reps so they've got a sort of tech team pushing the brand online so you're going to catch the eye of younger more tech savvy patients who are more likely to post. DeVroye seems to get an older more established client that is less likely to splash his pics online but he's thought well of among the community of docs I talked to. Much more so than names that I hear bandied around on the forums as great docs. I would definitely get that consult with DeVroye and see what your feeling is in person, I don't think you'd make a wrong choice with any of the 3 Belgians honestly. I have personal experience with Bisanga, having had my first fue with him and think very highly of him so it's a good choice you have here, just go with the one you feel most comfortable with, and response time is important, that does add to the comfort level, you want to know if something goes sideways you can get your doc. Good luck!

Unfortunately I think you know them all Trix, you've been at this a while and it's the same names, Feriduni, Bisanga, DeVroye. If you want to hit the uk, Dr Ball is good, and if you venture over to the german forums, Gasthroer is high on a clinic called Hattingen so they might be worth a look to see if they interest you but you're likely choosing between the same cast you've been choosing from all along.

we're bored of this procedure already, when is number 4? drop me a pm when biz and women give you a minute of downtime.

What did you learn from this thread that you didn't know coming in? I don't feel like anything new was said, it's the same ole info, which quickly degenerated into insults from both sides.

what a garbage thread, started with a clickbait headline and somehow went down from there.

post up pics if you can, the way you've been reacting to this process, even if there was growth you would likely be the last one to see it unless it was freaky dramatic.

I'm not sure how much anyone gets from prp either but I will say that I do think only some clinics are doing it correctly, so if you're going to do it, stick to docs like Cooley for it and from what I've heard from one of his patients, he was told by Dr Cooley the most likely patients to benefit from it would be diffuse patients so unless you've got money to burn and are diffuse and going to Cooley I think you're safe to bypass but it's not going to hurt you if you decide to use it, you may just ultimately not get much benefit from it.

He deserved the bad comments cause the work was subpar and if this makes up for that then this thread will be valuable to future patients for his willingness to stand behind his work. Let it play out. Until this grows out can we lose the ratings.

You're probably talking about the girls who have ridden the cock carousel for a while and their expiry date is fast approaching so they're bailing for the first provider they can find but most young chicks are as scandalous as we guys are, don't kid yourself.

I guess the op has brought in the anti finasteride task force, how many new members have they sent in to take you on JLDD lol

I think its clear i didnt ever say hair wasnt important if i felt that way i wouldn't have gone thru 2 myself. I said for those who cant get work done life doesnt have to be over. Gas was talking as if the only guys getting interest were the francos goslings of the world. Hair is important but if you're one of those just fucked by genetics you have to maximize your assets. Get into decent shape which doesnt mean jacked just not dumpy. Dress well. Just dont give women another reason to look past you.

Youre right this is pointless if after reading what i wrote that is what you got out of it explaining further is just wasting my time.

I know nothing about women but you do because they told you and you believe them lmao the difference is you're acting on what you've heard, I'm reacting to what I've seen. I've been on set with the rock when lines of girls hundreds deep wait around all day to get next to him. What's insulting is that you think that they would just be a niche interest for a certain type of girl, they couldn't appeal to the general woman. The reality is they do, cross over appeal is huge, you can't make a movie just for men anymore we don't carry the weight at the box office. Seriously, you think they're roided up and thats not appealing to women, look at the hottest stars right now...Mamoa, Evans, Hemsworth, Jackman, Efron and you'll find that body type absolutely appeals to the majority of women, I know for a fact the first 4 used roids, so why are their bodies appealing but the other guys aren't. Stathom is probably smaller than the first 4 guys I mentioned and the same build as Efron but somehow he's unappealing and they're not? The only difference is hair and it isn't as big a deterrent to as many women as we make it out to be. That's our own personal bias as we're obsessed with our own hair. Again I'm not saying all your friends lied to you I'm saying they didn't tell you everything cause you aren't a girl at a slumber party with them. Which girl is sitting around telling her bf or male friend every guy she'd like to fuck. When my girls ask me who I'm attracted to I may say I think Blake Lively is gorgeous, but am I saying but you know who's is trashy as hell and that I'd love to throw around for a night is Bella Thorne. So I'm saying you cant speak authoritatively for women unless you are a women and that's where you're going wrong, thinking you know definitively what they're thinking and that you know any more than they wanted to tell you. I'm not speaking for them I'm saying what I've seen and it contradicts your women are laughing at them angle. I never said you were wrong that women fancy the guys you mentioned, they do. I also never said get tanned buff and grow a beard, I didn't say anything about that at all but if you can't have hair all is not lost there is absolutely a market all you can do is maximize your assets the best you can.
