His newest video with the blonde highlights his hair is amazing like a pop star lol

Someone had 10 transplants? He must have used a small number of grafts with each surgery that's crazy. I saw that video of the guy that went to turkey and it failed and he got it fixed by H and w

Yeah it's the variation of genetics and physiology. But yeah I tried finasteride for 11 months and then got a consultation with my first hair transplant surgeon and he further warned me of the sexual side effects of it, but still said to consider the medication but told me he knew of patients experiencing sides. And I had experienced some sides at the time. So I got off of it. And then I experienced "post finasteride syndrome". You'll see what I mean if you Google it. Thankfully I recovered after awhile. It got better with each month that I was off the meds but I was scared as hell for awhile

You're misunderstanding what he is saying. He is not saying that surgery 2, 3 and so on will yield no improvement. He is saying that it becomes likely as the number of surgeries increases that the yield per surgery will decrease as the number of surgeries goes up due to non Virgin scalp tissue. This is completely consistent with improvement upon consecutive surgeries. It's similar to the idea of "diminishing returns"

Pretty sure he's talking about the process of how the graft is accepted under the skin but goes dormant and the hair that was attached eventually sheds while the graft rests and then eventually starts growing again. And actually it is not uncommon for the transplanted hair to continue to grow for the first week before shedding. But that is completely beside the point of this threat.

What are you talking about man. I'm not talking about expecting a good result in the first few days. Have you not read this thread? I am 11 months post op right now almost. I am talking about now vs what my hair was like right before the procedure.

Yes? My baseline immediately pre op compared to my change above baseline after the final result now at 11 months for 5000 grafts is very sub par. The yield was low which means many grafts died and did not grow. My improvement after shock loss was mostly regrowing of native hair that I lost due to shock loss

Seriously? Bro science? What "bro" science did I present? I have a degree in physics from a top university I don't fall for "bro" science. And I presented the link to show a study that simply discusses the major factors that go into how well a surgery yields for someone. It's interesting that a black box "genetic factor" was not mentioned. Also, Assume you are right and I am genetically doomed to always have poor yield. If this is the case, waiting on a surgery would make no difference because even if I waited and decided to do it later, the yield would still be poor and it would be the same situation. I'm going to go through with the 1500-1800 graft procedure next year around this time like H&W recommended

Yeah I feel pretty confident with H and w they have a lot of great reviews online and they are very responsive and easy to communicate with and short wait list. Definitely probably going to schedule 1500-1800 grafts with them next year

I honestly doubt that the contribution of genetic factors to the variance in yield from a hair transplant is high enough to explain my very poor yield for both surgeries. Like I said I really doubt that the contribution to variance in yield of a hair transplant is more than 25% due to genetics. I think the biggest contributing factor to the variance in yield for any particular hair transplant is from the surgery itself assuming proper post op care by the patient. I'll continue to believe that unless there is a proper study that honestly shows genetics are a genuinely higher factor in the variance of yield and I would want to know a physiological mechanism of it as well. Here's a study of factors affecting survival rate https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2956960/#sec1-1title

Sounds good to me. I'm just so mad so many grafts I've had are wasted. I could have looked like Johnny bravo my whole life with 9,800 donor capacity

Yes lol. They're ready to take me any time now within a 6 week booking period and the surgeon says he'd be able to strengthen the areas I'm concerned about and sill still have 1000 grafts left for future

Would you consider H&W to be a safer bet than asmed?

Still considering hasson and wong. They did they would do 15-1800 grafts to improve density and I would have 1000 grafts left after that. And their wait time is 5 weeks

If I can fill this area above the line I drew through my hairline and save the rest for my crown for later then i would be happy

Yes I agree with that. But I don't see any couto posts on here. I reached out to diep for a consult as well just now

Do you know dieps prices and waitlist? I just contacted his clinic

That's a very good result but technically a clinic posted result not a patient posted result

I understand that but I literally do not see any clinics or any pictures anywhere on the internet that are showcasing nearly as many mind blowing results. Even lorenzo when I look at the videos and pictures galleries on his website the density and yield don't look as good as Couto. 2600 grafts in that area above where I drew the line and that's what I ended up with...scalp

So many incredible ones. My top choice for sure. This guy started of worse than I did before my 5000 graft procedure and used half as many grafts and now looks better than me lol no comparison

Right im not damaged but my yield was just incredibly low so I'm not satisfied because I didn't get a good enough result my hair is still too thin. I think reinforcing the density in the area I circled in red is basically the way to go because even if I lose more hair it's gonna be from that area

Yeah I mean I've seen some excellent results from asmed but I've also seen a lot of mediocre ones myself included

Just submitted online consult with Lorenzo as well

Scottsdale Arizona United States

Haha. Well it depends on couto and lorenzo after I communicate with them more. For the mean time in going to prioritize my nose job and tattoos. Planning to spend 10k on the nose and about 4k on my half sleeve from a to notch artist. So end of next year would be ideal for a hair transplant. 2 years after my surgery with erdogan
