  1. Lol yeah, i don't think EQ is a common acronym... you might have to spell that out in future 😂
  2. Please keep up the great work and fantastic documentation that is transparent for all to see! Other surgeons should take note that your documenting style of results should be the industry standard!
  3. Could you list some of the surgeons you're talking about which can get a great results in one pass...? Cheers
  4. Just wondering if this is a thing or not. As far as I know, all people scar differently. I am well aware that there is no surgery without scars, but it is still a big concern for me as i have really light, fine hair. So I just wondered if any docs ever entertain the idea of doing a few extractions first to see how badly the scarring is due to each persons unique physiological reaction. Thanks!
  5. Amazing result! What size punch did they use for the donor extractions...?
  6. Beard transplants can at times seem very unnatural to me, so I'm just wondering which surgeons here have done great work, or are renowned for doing beard transplants...? Any recommendations / results are welcome. Thanks!
  7. Interesting. May I ask what his controversial views were...? And what part of his past exactly were the trolls going after..?
  8. Superb work. Really great result. Other surgeons please take note: this is how you document a patient's result - with clear photos of all areas. Honesty and transparency are severely lacking in this industry, but you guys seem to be achieving that. Bravo
  9. Not had experience but from what i have read and seen, you would be in good hands. Just meet with other clinics and do your research.
  10. Looks good. Definitely an improvement. I'm just not so sure about those stubborn looking grafts above the left temple point....those hairs seem stubborn enough that he had to trim them down to make them less visible / more manageable...?
  11. Do you split them...? I'm still unsure as to when i start taking Fin if i will buy the bigger pills to split or just the daily size...there seems to be pros and cons to both...
  12. Interesting. So, is it safe to say that if you go to a renowned, ethical surgeon, pits and scars will not be visible when if ever need to shave the head..?
  13. The slits the surgeon creates to hold the grafts... Do they create permanent scars on the recipient zone? Are they a thing..? Just wondering how noticeable they are if you shaved down to a zero, or if they even exist at all...? Thanks
  14. so i'm guessing a small scar only on one side wouldn't be enough for say....2000 grafts, right?
  15. Interesting. How many small FUT procedures of this kind did you have..? How are the scars? Did everything go OK?
  16. So sad to hear that. Can you imagine a better world where people are judged first on personality and their deeds, as opposed to aesthetics...? What a different place that would be. Maybe one day we'll get there...
  17. The majority of FUT scars seem to stretch from one side of the head to the other in a symmetrical fashion. Though, recently I saw an interesting one, different to the normal kind: it was just on one side of the back of the head. At first I thought it looked sloppy, careless, untidy. I couldn't figure out why they would choose that style or why the doctor could be so careless. But then i figured, maybe it is purposely asymmetrical... If it was a smaller graft count, perhaps the asymmetrical scar looks more 'natural'? Perhaps if the patient is aiming to conceal the transplant then it could be passed off as a 'scar from childhood'...where as a longer symetrical scar could not.. Anyway, just wondered what you guys thought. Maybe this is standard procedure but I only just saw it and gave it some real thought. Let me know what you guys think. Cheers
  18. So, Wong hinted at topical dutasteride replacing oral fin, is that correct...? Would that mean topical dut is now FDA approved? Are they changing Dut at all..? I'm not so clear as to why they can't reveal much if topical Dut is already a thing....?
  19. Tbh I didn't even know this was a thing... I'm curious now though... What separates this from the normal minoxidil? Is it FDA approved? How much is it..?
  20. Thanks for the heads-up. Great work. God, i wish i could grow a beard for an extra donor boost
  21. Great work and thanks for the clear transparency in showing results. This is how all cases should be documented!
  22. Sorry to hear about the side-effects man but It's good that you gave an honest write-up. Still worthwhile to let people know what is possible and that it's not always 'just a myth'. Hasn't a couple of new drugs just entered the market now..? Might be worth trying...? I also heard someone saying the other day that they had tried Fin and it wasn't good for them so then they tried Dutasteride and had NO side effects with it... who knows, worth looking into perhaps. But first of all if you're tempted to try again with fin perhaps worth trying the lower dose and weening yourself onto it 🤷‍♂️
