Norwood 6/7 Do You Take Finasteride?
harry_potter1 replied to Melvin- Admin's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
My dermatologist laughed at me when I asked if I should take it. Not sure why but I decided to comply lol I suspect because of the side effect. I mean it is 5% or cases right? That is 1 in every 20 patients, so for a clinic who probably has 100's per month, they will have at least one or two angry case per week. Not worth it for them -
Shaved head after hair transplant
harry_potter1 replied to NAVI's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I've seen both shaved and buzzed head in HT, didn't see it as ugly thing tbh With buzzed hair it was non issue really, yes I knew that they had HT, but it didn't look ugly at all -
Just few things to add: 1-HT in elite clinics are worth a lot, in many countries -like my own- it will cost same price of buying a flat for a middle class family. Saving up for such procedure isn't an option. 2-This is human nature, people go for surgeries in cheaper places for more critical surgeries that good have a life threatening risk if not done properly, at least in HT that risk is less. 3-Marketing and results has been super effective, Turkey has elite marketing strategies: a-FUE now is probably considered the only good method for most people thanks to it, even H&W who are the world leading clinic in FUT and HT seem to have conceded and is going for FUE way. Turkey has played huge part of that. b-They have different marketing strategies for each region, in middle east Turkey is considered the golden standard for HT, and the surgeon performing on Arab patients aren't even known in English speaking language, never seen Asmed/Rasul/Cinik names in Arabic forum. c- They are so dominant here that even in medical field they think no one in the world is as good as them, I went to the top dermatologist clinic earlier this year for hair related consultation and we discussed that I might need HT, I told my Dr I am aware and thinking about doing it in either Switzerland or Canada (Hattingen or H&W) and her response? Do it in Cairo or travel to Turkey, those were reliable clinics are known. Swiss/Canada? hmmm, be aware of scammer Only couple of HT surgeon who attends international conference knows the truth. 4-For FUE patients, Turkey has produced some elite results. That is the truth of it, people see some amazing results there posted by patients and would prefer to take such lower financial risk playing the lottery with their hair. I have seen many patient documented well known cases there, this encourage people. Most of those doing HT are either desperate or very hopeful. They are easy targets for good marketing when there is documented good results. 5-I am not saying that this is the right approach, I don't have Turkey in my list at all. As I said if I ever do it then I have narrowed my options to Dr,Wong and Hattingen. But to act surprised is weird. In every trade, even medical, there is a market for the poor that always lack quality.

3300 grafts with Dr. Resul Yaman
harry_potter1 replied to stratos's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
He framed your face in brilliant way. But I am one of those who believes you need to at least cover the mid-scalp and leave only crown area. 3.3K grafts isn't that much in today world so I think you are in good hands. even If you get half decent work in mid- scalp and crown you will be good to go -
Are we close to a hairloss cure?
harry_potter1 replied to tressful11's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
One day we will be surprised that someone find a better treatment/cure after all the wait. But we might be too old or even long gone by then. Meanwhile, it is most likely we will see steady improvement in HT, techniques etc. Things will be better in 5-10 years than it is now, but likely not "cure" level of better -
Is Dr. Rahal still a good option?
harry_potter1 replied to jsmyth's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
He was one of the elite, but he seem to have declined a bit? still great choice -
Dr. Konior - 2024 FUT Crown
harry_potter1 replied to makehairgreatagain's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Wow -
Looks great, decent improvement for 6 months result
-
I think Hasson is better in getting more grafts, Wong is better in using the numbers he has. That said, I am not that impressed by their work in FUE, at least yet. Though I am one of the minority
-
The one in the picture looks good tbh I would comp it on side if your hairline is well defined, if it is really thin then I think you should keep this one.

My dad was bald, and I had a great hair growing up (think of Daniel Radcliffe in Harry Potter, I was actually getting that comparison for some reason) which wasn't so common in Egypt. My older sisters who were 7-9 years older than me used to tell me I've awesome hair, but too bad I will lose it since my dad is bald. That made me growing up obsessed with my hair. At the age of 5 no kid should worry about hair loss . I noticed a very very slight hair loss at the age of 15 in my temple area, that should have never been noticed. I continued to lose hair gradually at hair line till the age of 22-23 when I started to lose hair thickness. By age of 29 I would say I looked bald rather than balding, at early 30's I am seriously thinking about HT
