I'm obsessed w/his hair! Ever since 'Class.'

Good thread - ty.

If one is truly 'all-in' w/hair restoration (beard & hair grafts) & the beard & hair grafts have many different 'shades'/colors & considering beard hairs are all single follicles & thicker & have different growing cycles & can have a different 'wave'/curl than scalp hair... In my opinion only then a guy should probably commit the extra $$$'s to a professional colorist w/years of experience in order to 'nail' down their looks throughout the year & going forward. But that's only if it bothers or concerns them.

It is hair restoration - nice hair characteristics as well.

Have your hair colored by a high-end colorist & lock in a new look to go w/your evolving 2nd hair-restoration surgery. You are in top shape (imho) & young enough - it will finish your look. Take it from someone in the biz... It is PRIME TIME to go for it. peace...

My bad - I thought they were 'all-in' w/the EU uber taxation (to a degree). So, then BONUS +$$$ for Dr. Zarev. It's an intense profession.

Looking good...👌 Porn stache on POINT (too)! Top vibe.

Hmmm... on avg. 25K per week gross... His net net prob' 'round 10K per week after taxes. Though I think Doc actually 'works' 60 hours per week (all-in 'research/reading/innovation/surgery/consults/office-staff training/et al). So about $150-$175 per hour USD. For Bulgaria cost of living, that is excellent. He is top shelf and obviously very focused.

I was just venting a bit 'cause my wallet gonna' be hurtin' yet again this summer (next surgery). And yes, I get it. Just wish inflation wouldn't have kicked us all in the butt recently.

Dr. Bisanga costs more because he believes his skillset & experience warrants the extra $$. I don't necessarily disagree either. I will share my experience just to be transparent here 'cause that's the entire purpose of this website (just my .02 cents)> I went to a consult w/Dr. Bisanga in late August '22. Granted, I have had 6 strips (100, 120 w/Dr. Leavitt in Dec. '90/Jan '91), (400 & 700 w/Dr. Pomerantz in '93 & '94), (2250 w/Dr. Feller in '04) & (5000 {4500 strip & 500 FUE}) w/Dr. Soni in '17. So, I am NOT technically a repair patient, I have been on Avodart since 2002 & Propecia since '98 before that. Been on oral minox since I think '19 (before that Rogaine since mid 90's). My donor is GOOD. His representative (Hi Ian) quoted me 7.00 EURO in Belgium (yes, I can get the VAT tax rebated AFTER the surgery w/their consultant affiliate U.K service, nice extra 'touch' btw). Dr. Soni (MEDISPA) left me w/a WIDE scar on my last (greed) 4.5 strip in '17 - so, I'm torn currently. I have a consult w/Dr. Shapiro next month & I might consult w/Dr. Wong about cutting out the strip & then moving forward. I don't know why I am rambling. Oh, yes I do. I don't think I am a repair patient. Just a patient w/6 strip scars. My donor is very healthy (I am a NW5+ without hair restoration) - I get it w/Dr.'s charging me MORE for just a 1.5K to 1.75K 'cherry-pick' my donor - but why should I pay MORE for a simple extra 30 minutes of planning? You tell me? I'll hang up & wait. p.s. Dr. Bisanga is AWESOME & I respect his senior-level professional fee structure. I don't negotiate though - so I felt as though his rep (hola again Ian, btw) should have offered me $5.00 Euro per graft -but again, I am non-confrontational. This is NOT a critique of Dr. Bisanga's excellent skill either. I am having a difficult time though paying big money for (in my mind) huge $$$'s for the 1.25K or 1.5K grafts directly behind my hairline at a less expensive rate & then having a top-world-class surgeon such as Dr. Bisanga finish me off in the frontal 'dense-pack' hairline band a final 750-1000 grafts. I'm 56 years old & do NOT want to use ANY beard hair until I am older.

Those are good bets! Definitely his surgeon locked it in - big time!

Aussie bra' - w/your hair characteristics I forsee another 2.5K from your scalp in another year Mr. Big-Time Aussie $$$$'s !!! Seriously, GO DEEPER when it is time. Don't say no 'cause methinks you will be back for one FINAL glorious BLAST - never say never. Cheers on ya' ~~

Bellissimo!

I'm waiting for the 1st 20K man - probably another year or two. Ahahaha! 12.5K scalp/5K beard & 2.5K chest.

You are a real hard on - ya' know that? Ahahaha!!!! 😈

You need dense-packing of the frontal hairband w/lateral slits & proper 1-2-3 haired follicle distribution w/a bit of asymmetrical peaks/valleys. Go w/Hasson & Wong or Shapiro or Cooley imho. Take a loan out or something and get this sorted. Your very fine & straight hair (long too) does you know favors but you can get a much better result. Wait another 6 months & just do it. Good luck!

I saw $30 USD per month - from Roman website: Oral Minoxidil Generic Loniten $30/month ----------------------- I currently buy & have used them for 4 years, alldaychemist - runs about .20 cents per 1/4tab of 10mg w/discount - so about $6.00 per month. It's generic and comes from Indian manufacturers just like Roman.

Aftermath is triggering me into yet another Intermittent Explosive {Rage} Disorder (IED). Yeaaaaaa.... J/K You're obviously a man of action -so DO that hair color stud!! 😉🙃

Medispa - Dr Suneet Soni He did 4,500 FUT & 500 FUE on me in '17 (8.6K grafts so far). Bisanga looked over the work in August of '22 & said everything looked spot on. One of my last 2 surgeries will either be w/Dr. Ron Shapiro or perhaps Dr Devroye or Wong or I might have my strip revised by Soni w/additional FUE & then do a blend of more hair & beard w/one of the other 3 surgeons I mentioned.

I think the battle may be over - & you are only 30 w/such radically advanced hairloss. The risk to reward for hair restoration is not favorable. You'd need to grow out your hair and get a full evaluation from a qualified hair restoration surgeon who is a straight shooter imho.

These videos are very satisfying! You know, like those pimple popper videos & all that jazz!!😆

I think you put the symbol '@' in front of their name - they see it and perhaps answer.

Great question - ask a surgeon on this forum. Anything less than that is a non-surgeon opinion and worth .02 cents.

Hair porn mantra the last 25 years! Ahahahaha!
