  1. Thats dr. Umar's clinic: https://www.dermhairclinic.com/ He's legit but very expensive. He is also a BHT expert. FUE only, he doesnt do FUT as far as I know
  2. I'd be careful with that. Customs in any country can refuse entry if they feel like it. They dont need a reason, other then they dont like the looks of you. It seems in most countries only essential travel is allowed and I'm not sure cosmetic surgery falls under that category. Airlines wont care either, they will just sell you the ticket knowing full well you could be denied entry
  3. Not overseas, but Dr. Cotterrill in Canada does FUT transplants for $5,000 CDN (which is about $3,800 USD). I was told he doesnt shave, but that was 5 years ago so I dont know if anything has changed since then
  4. I always wanted to know, a quadruple hair graft, do all 4 hairs grow from one bulb, or is it 4 separate bulbs in one follicle??
  5. I heard the excessive blood flow from PRP injections can cause excessive DHT around native hair follicles that are sensitive to DHT, which can cause them to shed
  6. I have also heard of people having excessive shock loss after PRP and saying it wasnt worth it
  7. So I recently learned performing body hair transplants is a more difficult job than regular scalp hair FUE. Not every doctor is good at it. Here is a list of clinics that perform BHT: https://www.hairlosscure2020.com/list-of-surgeons-who-offer-body-hair-to-head-hair-transplants/ I cant vouch how good each doctor is, however. The only ones I know of that do good work are Dr. Umar, Eugenix and Dr. Lorenzo
  8. Dr. Lorenzo over in Spain has some excellent BHT results. I might go with him instead of Eugenix https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Injertocapilar+bht
  9. Baby shampoo for the first 2 weeks is the right answer
  10. Just tell the stewardesses and passengers on the plane that you got into a bad motorcycle accident. You'll get treated like a king by the stewardesses, and all the other passengers will feel sorry for you. Trust me, it works!
  11. I locked myself up in my hotel room the first 10 days after my transplant and watched netflix all day while ordering room service. My best advice is to just take a 10-day vacation after the transplant (if you can get time off work)
  12. Beard hair is probably a better option, but remember when the bald spot progresses you will still have to fill it in with scalp hair for it to look normal
  13. Thats fine. Expect to get some blood on it though, so you'll wanna clean that off every day so you dont get an infection
  14. I also heard if you keep your hair short it blends much better. The longer you keep your hair the more unnatural it looks, and vice versa. I keep my hair short. Below 1 inch. So it should blend okay
  15. I'm starting to see what you mean. Was watching TV the other day and Jack Dorsey was on. You can see how his beard hair is completely different than his scalp hair. Its all wiry and stuff. Kinda weird looking actually
  16. Because you have no idea what Norwood you're headed for in the future. If you're gonna be a Norwood 3, 4 or 5 you'll probably be okay, but if you're headed for a 6 or a 7 you will have wasted valuable donor hair on a small crown area of your head, and you're gonna look real awkward with just that patch on your crown. I suppose you could always go for a repair job and transplant those 1,000 grafts to another part of your head again, but why go through all that?? Why not be patient and see how your baldness pattern progresses first, and then make the necessary transplant(s). For now I'd stick to meds and Toppik as others have suggested. Also I think most ethical doctors wouldnt touch your head because of unknown future Norwood progress. Just my $0.02 worth
  17. Schumer had a bad transplant too. I think Trump, Biden and Schumer are from the old days of picket fence transplants and butchered scalp reductions. Although I do think Trump looks the best of all 3 (or perhaps I should say the least worst of the 3) 😂
  18. The good thing about the crown is it doesnt need to be super dense like the frontal scalp. You can get away with a bit less density.
  19. How many cm2 approximately do you need covering?? My crown is 80 cm2 and needs about 2,500 to 3,000 grafts
  20. Found this interesting article: https://www.milkmanaustralia.com/blogs/news/79284420-beard-hair-versus-head-hair-what-s-the-difference
  21. Interesting. I did not know that. Maybe I'll have to make the trip out to Eugenix as well. Their waiting list is huge btw
  22. Here's what I dont understand though, a beard hair FUE should be little to no different than a scalp hair FUE. Perhaps a slightly bigger punch since beard hairs are twice as thick. But other then that, what could possibly make Eugenix so much better than a North-American FUE expert doctor?? Its basically extract the graft and then insert the graft into the slit, is it not?? I dont get it. Please explain
