  1. Thanks for replying so promptly Melvin, I appreciate that. Our conversion rate for Canada is quite good as well, whereas for the US it's ridiculously low and that is a big factor in why I'm seriously considering going with a Canadian surgeon such as H&W or Rahal over top US surgeons like Konior and Diep, especially as it pertains to FUE. Would love to keep picking the brains of the experienced posters such as yourself but I'm well aware this is about Johns questions and his journey so I'll wait my turn... John you are asking the right questions and these guys are giving you some great answers. This site really does deserve a lot of credit for it's ability to inform those of us going through this hair transplant decision, kudos to you lot.
  2. Great thread full of informative information from all these knowledgeable guys. Do both H&W and Rahal charge in USD for people outside of Canada?
  3. Good question and intriguing to learn that there isn't actually a definitive answer to this.
  4. the problem is many of the HT surgeons I'm thinking of going with based on the recommendation from these forums don't seem to have any beard results. I understand the main issue for us losing our hair is our scalps but I also want to strengthen my goatee during my first transplant so it's trying to find one that does both that I'm having an issue with.
  5. Hey Spidey have you had any further hair loss since this operation with Dr Hasson?
  6. thank you for posting specific examples BeHappy, that's extra informative.
  7. I'm looking at the top surgeons on my list, most of which are recommended from this site, Konior, H&W, Rahal, Diep, Erdogan, and it doesn't look like any of them do beard creation or transplants. While my main concern is my receding hairline which I will be getting a HT for I am also wanting my mustache filled in and also the creation of a goatee... any of you gents know of any top surgeons that are known for this by any chance?
  8. Hey Nick how many of your 2500 total grafts were removed just via the FUT? I'm wondering that because the size of your scar is really small so I'm assuming it was something like 1k or around abouts... any idea how many it was?
  9. I'm still trying to decide between FUE and FUT and it's such a mixed bag of information I don't know which ones best tbh
  10. Oh wow that's mint you've seen some regrowth since the meds, i just had my bloods done so im waiting to see if i come up with any similar issues
  11. Yeah I've just been looking that up today... thanks for the info bro
  12. Sorry to hear that Markee, I hear with a few lifestyle changes you can cure yourself of hypothyroidism though, you'll be fine.
  13. Do you know if it is just hypothyroidism that contributes to hair loss or does an under-active thyroid also contribute in the same way?
  14. This looks really good for 3 to 4 months. Congrats. Keep us posted.
  15. If he mentioned them in this thread as having low intelligence then yes that is the point where your attacks on his character are valid. Disagreeing with his opinion on Asmed or his own hair transplant being subpar is not where your attacks hold legitimacy. You seem very worked up by this thread and reply to every comment he makes even though you believe his character is questionable... that seems like wasted energy.
  16. Donor looks good actually. This is probably going to be a really good result from Asmed... congrats to you.
  17. Bro are you calling me a piece of shit or Payam? Because if it's me, frankly, you should apologize... it's completely unjustified. Explain to me what is vindictive about my opinion? Other then my endless studying into all of these results, including Erdogan's, I have nothing vested in these clinics so it's impossible for me to have a vindictive bone in my body for Asmed. My opinion is based on the number of cases I have read on here and on other forums of the mixed results from this particular clinic... I would also say the same about a few other clinics who have constantly mixed results if they were to come up as well. You can show your immaturity by calling people idiots and whatnot because they see the average results Asmed have had posted on the net in the last year but you can't change the fact that we can and will see them and have the right to have an opinion on those results. I'm actually going through a lot of research to find the right surgeon so in fact my opinion isn't without merit, sure it's not as experienced as yours at this point but that does not make it any less valid in its own right. What I stated is simply from evidence I have, not just made up stats etc, I've read a number of poor case results from Asmed that I have seen on this forum and a couple of others, just within the last year or so, it's not a good sign. As I stated *previously* all clinics have a few average results but the fact is for the eye to see... due to the Asmed doing so many hair transplants everyday they have a higher yield (see what I did there) of average results that have been posted online, it's simple mathematics. I understand you had a good result, congrats, I think I commented on your post months ago in regards to it but you seem so worked up about this situation you attacked me for my mere opinion on him needing to move on and chalk it up to an average result. His result plus a number of other average to poor Asmed results I have read on the net has helped me take Erdogan off my list of surgeons I will be going with... explain to me what is wrong with that and what gives you the right to have a go at me? I have even advised the guy to stop the constant posting in this thread and others with negative things to say about Asmed... and yet you ignored that and attacked my opinion? I'm disappointed in you as a senior member of this forum talking to me and even Payam like that, it's not in keeping with the etiquette of this place. Grow up bro you are better than that.
  18. Melvin makes good points here regarding the thread needing an update on your progress as well, has it thickened up any more?
  19. I worry that the scalp and hairs being extracted from the donor on day 2 will be under huge shock from day 1 and may not take as well, does anyone know if there is any legitimacy to this notion?
  20. ... And stop arguing back and biting to every single post that doesn't agree. Stop going in to every Erdogan thread and rubbishing the results. Not because you don't have the right to or aren't justified because of your less than stellar personal experience with the clinic but because bro, it's not helping YOUR situation. People across all of these forums know at this point going to Asmed is cheaper but also risks a much higher chance of a subpar result due to all the aforementioned things such as the number of surgeries, the attention to detail or lack thereof, the techs being more aesthetically pleasing to the eye then their actual HT results at times and whatnot, etc etc etc. The fact the clinic has these types of threads going on every major hair loss forum is proof that something isn't right and needs to be addressed, that's the one thing no one can dispute. You don't see the top clinics having these ongoing threads about them and you don't see them with multiple concurrent discussions regarding their mixed results. Every clinic has average and even poor results, but the point is that the top ones have very few of these compared to their good ones, Asmed does a lot more HT's per day so they have a lot more cases of good and bad, it just is what it is. I suggest you stop biting back though you are turning people against you and that isn't going to help you in a time when you need support and guidance. Relax bro... you've made your point and threads like yours serve a purpose... for me personally who is within a year of choosing his HT surgeon results like yours are why I WILL NOT spend my money with Erdogan and Asmed... bottom line.
  21. At this point you have heard it all Payam, the good, the bad... let me just say... I am disappointed in the result you've received and the bottom line is it should have been better for the money you are paying. If you had chosen a surgeon like Konior or H&W the likelihood you would have received a better result is quite substantial which speaks to the fact that sadly a. you get what you pay for and b. Asmed has become a transplant mill which focuses on numbers in and out the door as opposed to quality and focus one to one on each individuals case. This is apparent with the fact you get a roughly 15 minute examination by Erdogan before your surgery and you may not see him again the entire time, that's really just appalling treatment and turns the patient into a number on a conveyor belt. Those that have had good results with him or have vested interest in the clinic keeping it's reputation from 2017 will obviously dispute this and they have every right to but the sketchy results I've read on this forum alone over the last year really speak volumes for the inconsistency this particular clinic now has. Bro all you can do now is accept the subpar result and plan for the future. Chalk this up to a mistake in the surgeon you chose and focus on finding the right one who is going to fill in all the gaps Asmed left, this will be easily done by any clinic with a good track record, you know the ones. Use this as a learning experience and a teaching for your next procedure which will give you the full and desired result you wanted when you went in the first time. Try not to dwell on what has already happened because at this point it will only further cause you stress and anxiety and will not be good for the health of your hair or your person as a whole. You got this bro... start focusing on the next move... this is chess not checkers.
