2968 Grafts - Koray Erdogan
newpatient99 replied to PlanetStephen's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Density does need a touch up however the hairline outline looks very good and natural. You'll have a killer result with another small procedure. Although I will say you really didn't need to a HT to begin with. Only someone that is obsessed with HT's would notice that you were balding. -
3801 graphs, FUT w/Dr Cooley on 7-5-18
newpatient99 replied to Regs's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
growth at 3 months is considered early, most people start growing at month 4 I think. -
Pics look like 4K too. Dr. Diep, if this was all done from one procedure, this honestly could be a frontrunner for greatest HT of all time.

2000 grafts FUE (8 months and 2 weeks) result
newpatient99 replied to newpatient99's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
My surgeon has been excellent with his follow up and he's going to fix it for me. Because I did not reach out to the surgeon privately first, I am requesting this thread to be deleted if possible. This is completely my choice and not based off anyone's influence. -
When I first got into fitness, this youtuber was one of the guys I followed for advice and I remember, even before I knew anything about wigs and hair transplants, something was off about his hairline too me but I couldn't put my finger on it...like it looks too thick and weird that his hairline is pushed back to the top of his head but his temples still so low. Add to that he has that curved female hairline. I also frequent bodybuilding.com and his videos are quite popular on there and there has been numerous members on there that pointed out his odd hairline and think it's a wig.

What should I do?
newpatient99 replied to pomispotic's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Your hair "loss" is completely normal for someone approaching 40, I can promise you that you have better hair than most people your age. But if you really want to get a HT, I would look into a hairline specialist. Keep in mind because your hair is naturally thick, you will risk shock loss with a HT, which take many months to heal. Dr. Diep is one name that comes to mind for hairlines. -
FUE 2700 Grafts (want your opinion)
newpatient99 replied to bigmike84's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Would you add Cooley to that short list? -
Costco Finasteride vs other generics?
newpatient99 replied to newpatient99's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Problem with that is money for most folks. You're talking about a difference of $100 a month if not more. -
What exactly is “temple angle closure”
newpatient99 replied to LonelyGraft's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Recreating temporal points is a very challenging skill only a short list of doctors have master. That's why hair pieces still look like crap today because most of them don't blend in well with temporal points too far back. -

@Speran28 Any more updates? -
2000 grafts FUE (8 months and 2 weeks) result
newpatient99 replied to newpatient99's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
I remember reading a couple of patients that said Dr. Diep only did the incisions and that was his entire involvement during surgery, but this maybe a year ago and they might have not been confirmed patients. Glad to hear he personally did the extracting for your surgery though. -
2000 grafts FUE (8 months and 2 weeks) result
newpatient99 replied to newpatient99's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Dr. Rahal and Dr. Gabel have been on my radar list. I've heard Konoir is amazing but has a crazy wait time and is more expensive than everyone. Diep obviously has killer results, yourself being a prime example, but the one thing that concerned me was his punch size and it would seem not everyone here that got a HT with Dr. Diep had their grafts harvested by Dr. Diep himself. -
2000 grafts FUE (8 months and 2 weeks) result
newpatient99 replied to newpatient99's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Thanks for the encouraging words. Based on your experience here, who would be your top 3 FUE doctors for hairline refinement? I also want someone that harvest grafts themselves and is particularly skilled at recreating the temporal points and making incisions near pre-existing grafts without damaging them. -
2000 grafts FUE (8 months and 2 weeks) result
newpatient99 replied to newpatient99's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
I think in my case, I could get a killer result if I just move down the hairline a bit because I would also have a lot of density behind the hairline with the pre-existing grafts. But of course I would want the doctor's best judgement as well before making my final decision. -
Top/Best FUE Surgeon in North America
newpatient99 replied to hairlossPA's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Hey Melvin, When you had your FUE with Dr. Diep, did he harvest the grafts or no? -
Gabel Hair Restoration - Portland, Oregon
newpatient99 replied to Stevenson927's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Thank you for the pics. Does Dr. Gabel harvest the grafts for FUE for every patient? Does he do it himself, or he does it along with a tech? Does he compensate for out of state patients? -
Gabel Hair Restoration - Portland, Oregon
newpatient99 replied to Stevenson927's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Do you have any way of just showing the hair while concealing your entire face? Dr. Gabel is on my short list of doctors for a possible touch up. -
2000 grafts FUE (8 months and 2 weeks) result
newpatient99 replied to newpatient99's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Fortunately I decided for a higher hairline the first time which allows me to lower the hairline for a touch up so I don't have to remove any of the mutil-grafts. -
2000 grafts FUE (8 months and 2 weeks) result
newpatient99 replied to newpatient99's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
I can tell my surgeon is very compassionate about his patient's progress, he actually called me from his cell today to reach out to me and took over 30 minutes to speak with me addressing my concern. As long as my name and face aren't revealed, he has my permission to go into specifics concerning my case. -
OP, have you looked into Finasteride? Instead of dropping 10k on something that you don't need and can potentially scar you for life, you could talk to your doctor about taking Fin first, it could benefit you greatly since your hair loss is very mild. Generic versions are like $20 for 3 months. You're 29 and barely a NW2 which is perfectly normal. As others have pointed out, even though you're technically losing your hair, the average person will not see NW2 as someone going bald, NW2 is like your classic mature hairline. Many people here would kill for a NW2. Plus your hair is thick so if you're that self-conscious about it, you can easily style your hair in ways to hide your temples. But most importantly, I promise you the average person will not see you as balding when they see your hairline.
