I am also eager to hear the status update - hope it's all good @MNIK

They blocked you?? Were you trying to access it from hrn instagram account? This is nuts.

I traveled within US and I was ok. And this was on the busiest day of all last year (Sunday after Thanksgiving). I think traveling is pretty safe since they enforce masks and ventilate. Plus by August I really hope the vaccinations will drastically change the situation, I hope you get vaccinated too by then!

Damn if I only knew about this goodness

What did he reply? A great, well documented case btw, and a great result. I really like these BHT threads as there is not a lot of them and it gives hope to high Norwoods.

Looks pretty hood honestly. Also you probably don’t have to shave if you do just the crown and FUT? Then the ugly duckling phase is removed and you’d only have to suffer for a couple weeks? Just assuming though, a doctor would know better.

Plus like 10k in beard hair

Dude this looks amazing! Happy for you. I am one week away from 3.5 months with the same doctor, I hope it starts turning the corner for me soon as well!

Another hair loss forum (googling the phrase will take you there) has a lot more threads around this topic and also around other experimental topicals. Reading the comments about RU is frightening, lots of heart issues, some of them persistent. > I’ve been tempted to use a topical because I can’t come around to taking Fin. I don’t think it’s worth messing with your hormones to keep hair. RU is a whole other level of risk since there's no studies on it and if something goes wrong there's nobody to help you. Not sure if Fin is better in the worst case scenario but at least the sides are known. > What I’m curious about though is if it’s so safe and effective why hasn’t it ever been approved by the FDA? Lots of threads about this too. It was abandoned in Phase 1 or Phase 2 and nobody knows why. Not a good sign obviously.

Amazing!

Wait it out. Lay down under an angle to make the gravity pull the water down and out of the eye zone. The doctor can prescribe some steroid medications to make the process faster but other than that let the gravity do the job. My eye was shut for a day and the face swollen for 5 days. But first of all, talk to the clinic.

She is presumably very very good and the work looks very clean, happy growing! Looking at those pics, are they taken in an AirBnB very close to their office lol? I might have been in the same apartment! Also you really made a small amount of hair go a long way by looking at the before pics. Do you have the grafts breakdown?

Such an awesome result, congrats!

Awesome progress man!

That's interesting - did those hairs in the front not shed yet?

Is that an accurate statement- "all of your hairs"? As in, even the hair that's not affected by DHT?

Really strange man. Did you do biopsy to make sure you don't have some dermatological issue? I don't remember who but someone recently posted that they have something along the lines of "frontal fibrosing scarring alopecia" and it was confirmed via a biopsy and that was the reason the hair transplant didn't last. But even in that case there was growth it just was destined to fall out eventually. That being said, 5 months is still early although you're getting closer to a point where it becomes a problem. FWIW I am personally at 3 months and I have 0 growth and lots of shock loss in both recipient and donor, but I hope it'll become better in the coming months.

Did you have a consultation with Dr Zarev? He'd be able to tell you way more accurately than us

Looks awesome!

Wow this looks amazing! Great job!

Nice, this looks really good!

Yeah the swelling is normal and common. Just gotta wait until it passes. Otherwise the work looks good, Dr. Hasson is a great doctor!

Thanks for the pics. You can’t tell that something was done indeed. There seem to be some areas with fewer hairs so perhaps one can guess that’s where the hairs were taken from but no scars and that is really good. You probably have at least a thousand more beard hairs left?

Man what amazing results! 8k grafts and more left?! That is nuts, I should have gone with the FUT Did you have above average donor density? I doubt I'll have more than 4-5k given how my donor looks after only 2k FUE grafts Also you said your front thinned a little after the first procedure - was that the transplanted hairs or native? I started paying more attention to the longevity of transplanted hairs as there are cases where it's not permanent.

Why such polarizing stances and opinions? It's not that HTs are either perfect or botched - there's a lot of nuances. Jim explained the issues he has with the procedure and they are very legit. We have to exist before the 1-year mark so unless some of these params like cornrow placement or punch size are needed to guarantee the best possible outcome (which is not the case) patients should have the right to ask for better.
