  1. After scouring the internet I've seen maybe 1 decent result for someone with pale skin and light blonde hair. The operation on that skin/hair type seems to be incredibly rare so it's hard to even get a sense of how successful it is. I generally find results with someone who is either pale but don't light blonde or someone that had blonde but is tan. This makes me think that most results for this type arent posted because they aren't any good. Any ideas?
  2. Yup, I am located in Chicago. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll be sure to check him out!
  3. I had a thought about this and began wondering why this isn't common practice. I've seen many saying that combining FUT and FUE is a good approach for maximal coverage, but I haven't seen anything regarding this idea. It seems like it should be a great idea since forehead reduction is pretty cheap relative to a hair transplant and it brings the hairline down, effectively accomplishing the same thing as a transplant for the hairline. Whereas I would guess an FUT actually raises the hairline, or best case is neutral to it.
  4. I'm a Norwood 6 with an ample donor area > 8000 units available. I'm looking to get 1 or 2 megasessions (preferably FUE) of >3500 each. I know Dr. Konior is highly recommended, but his prices are just way too step (saw they were about $12 per unit). Dr. Nadimi has more reasonable prices but I heard she does not do megasessions. So I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for another surgeon in Chicago area that can do FUE megasessions?
  5. It's very sparse and very coarse. Would be surprised if it could contribute to anything meaningful. But Zoomsters results at least gives me hope to get another consolation!
  6. Hey thanks! Yeah, my situation seems an awful lot like Zoomsters.
  7. Been losing hair for about 12 years, the last 2 years have seemed pretty stable and I haven't used any topical or pharmaceuticals yet. I had an evaluation done about 3 years ago and they said I have high donor density, and could get 8000 FUE no problem. I didn't pursue it at the time because the cost was too high. Now I am considering it again, hoping perhaps that 2 sessions of 4000 grafts would be enough to give me back a full head of hair (or at least not noticeably bald or balding). But I am not sure if 8000 would be enough. I don't want to pursue it if it's not feasible to restore a full (but low density) head of hair.
  8. No, he does everything by hand. It isn't a clinic, just one doc who does all the operations
  9. He only does FUE I believe. I don't know if he has the capability of doing FUT but they never mention it. He did Brian Urlacher's hair transplant.
  10. Thanks for all the responses! I realized the pics look a little worse than it actually is since it is in the worst possible lighting. I would say I have more hair than when HTsoon before his first transplant. I have considered getting about 3500 FUE grafts for the hairline and mid head then consealing the crown area with Toppix like I have done in the past, until I can do a second operation of perhaps another 3500 session. The doc I did a consult with said it would take 2 days to do 3500 FUE. So, unless I am lacking perspective it seems 7000 FUE would work to get results similar to HTsoon's which I would be satisfied with. I attached a better pic in more neutral lighting.
  11. I'm 30 years old and have been losing my hair since my early 20s. I use Nizoral everyday, 1%. I dont do any DHT blockers. I'm looking at getting a transplant but I don't know if my hair loss is too advanced to be worth it. How many grafts do you think I will need to have the illusion of full coverage with the recessions filled in? I was told I have excellent donor hair with 8000 + available before any noticeable thinning in donor region. I have fine light blonde hair which makers it even harder to see. Ive attached photos
