I’ve had a total of 5,300 grafts, my last hair transplant was 2 1/2 years ago. Thanks I was trying a different hairstyle. That’s the beauty of having hair.

Thanks for the reply. Dr Diep did a great job on you!

Hey Melvin, How many grafts total did you have transplanted? And how long ago since your last Ht? Hair looks great btw.

Sure here's one dry with shampoos hair no product

And another although angle not matching but hope it helps

Thanks

WOW! Excellent looking density and coverage for just 2,100 grafts, you must be thrilled.

Great results! 

‘Do you have any photos of your hair dry without any styling product to compare to the clinics pre-op dry photos?

Would be cool to see how the density is dry.

Thanks

@Sociallyakward 

I noticed in your profile that you answered “Yes” to the ‘Have you ever had a hair transplant’ question. 

Who was your surgeon/clinic?

What type of procedure?

Are you satisfied with your Ht?

Very nice, dense and natural-looking result, good job!

Very nice result for the amount of grafts, nicely done by the Doctor, congrats!

Hiya!

Great post and results, congrats!

Have you noticed any further growth or improvements now that it’s way past your 1-year post op?

Hey man, How’s your 3rd month progressing?

Sucks to read that you had a horrible experience with Bhati, you should definitely go into detail here on what happened post photos to corroborate your story.

You lost me at Bosley. I agree with Gillenator, although it may be difficult to find a clinic where they do DHI and the doctor performs the DHI that is not a top Doc/clinic that doesn’t have a months or even a years long waitlist.

Hey man, I would cancel any Ht plans, your hair looks great at the moment, there’s no need for perfection now because you could be doing more damage than good since you have a lot of native hair, you could find your self being obsessively ocd with any procedure you do at this point. I would wait until I saw much more hair loss down the road if I were you, save your money and good grafts for later on.

Progressing nicely 👍

Any update on this fantastic results from last year?

There's no conclusive evidence that it does, and anecdotally I didn't notice much of a difference in hair fall after starting creatine. However, I have also been on Finasteride most of that time and that may have had some impact.

My theory: if normal creatine dosages are linked to elevated DHT, creatine might accelerate your hair loss if DHT is the primary culprit behind your MPB. However, as we have established multiple times with DHT inhibitors, DHT is not necessarily the lone cause in many cases of MPB.

I’m more inclined to believe that Prostaglandin D2 is much more damaging to hair than DHT.

To trust a pharmaceutical corporation to submit 100% true and accurate data on a drug they sell and promote, based on studies they pay for and sponsor then get the approval to sell said drug by lobbying ($$$$) those in a government agency....Then...I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you real cheap.

Its very common for pharmaceutical corporations to cherry-pick which data they like, submit and publish from the studies they pay for to get favorable approval, in fact, many doctors & scientists have said so as whistleblowers.

I don’t believe for a second that their claims that the side effect percentage it’s quite low.

@jonnyalex thanks for sharing your photos!

My honest opinion, I think your hair looks great, minus the obvious slight lack of density in the hairline, especially for 4-years post op and the medications are working great for you.

Good luck and good choice on choosing Keser for the hairline “touch-up” hope you make your own progress thread on the forum with it.

Thanks!

I will try to provide some. I have recently said I was unhappy with the work he did, but having looked back at my before photos, it is hard to complain about a dodgy hairline when the rest the work was pretty great. 

Please do, it could be very helpful to share before, during, and after photos you may have that had you feeling unhappy then to feeling the work was as you say, pretty great.

What is the price per-graft?

WOW! Fan-effing-tastic result!

Will be following, good luck & happy growing!

Your hair caliber looks great in the wet photos by the way. 

An update would be helpful man.

Stick and place is as I described. 

There is plenty of research on time out of body and graft survival. There isnt a ton of research on what you posted.   The fact is that top docs are getting 95 percent or greater yield, so I do not think you will see markedly better yield.

 

The biggest challenge to transplantation these days is your limited donor. Everything else seems like they have it figured out. 

Gotchya, thanks!

How about (DHT) Direct Hair Transplantation Method ?

 

@Markee 

Yes, this vid you posed is what I’m talking about....comparing this to say Doctors/clinics the do the extractions first, place the grafts into a cold solution, then after some time implant the grafts..

Im not following the comparison.  Stick and place does not refer to how long the grafts is out of body, but how long the incision is open before a graft is placed.  If basically means there isn't a bunch of pre-made recipient cites being made, but each site is carefully made and then filled. 

Are you sure? 

I watched @Melvin-Moderator Recent Dr visit video and the doctor said he creates the sites first then after starts doing the extractions and only gives about a 5-minute window of the grafts being out of the body before they are implanted into the already made sites...

Am wondering if grafts being immediately placed via S&T vs being in a solution for say 30 minuets or more is superior to graft survival and growth success.
