    I understand finasteride helps with stabilizing the crown but i refuse to rely/commit to a daily tablet that could give me sexual side effects. I’ve read too many horror stories on the negative effects. I rather just let the hair go and rebuild it all via surgery. Plus your genetics always win in the end and what’s meant to be will always happen so i also feel it’s not wise to ignore the fact that the crown will eventually be bald so i rather take the hope for the best but prepare for the worst approach.. why do you say it’s the most difficult to treat via surgery?

    Has anyone had their crown transplanted? How are your results? Did you do the frontal half first and then the crown? Also for anyone who only got their front half worked on, how does it look with a thinner crown? Is it easy to pull off with any specific hairstyles/products?

    Looks great man! honestly, I’d be cool with those results as is and you’re only at 6 months.. looking forward to seeing your progress, it will only get denser. Would you say your expectations of dr bloxham were met? And also What kind of Haircut do you plan on getting with the scar?

    What is mini graft plug surgery?

    How long does the ink last? Do you need touch ups?

    During my research, I’ve noticed many clinics quote you by the grafts, and some clinics try selling you by the hairs. Obviously, the clinics that tell you how many “hairs” you’re getting will speak negatively about places that quote grafts- “because you don’t know the total hair count which is the most important”, as well as “not knowing if grafts are being cut in half to meet the quoted graft count”.. Does anybody have any input on this topic of why clinics use hairs over grafts when consulting with patients?

    Thank you for sharing your experience. As for Fut over fue, correct me if I’m wrong.. Fut first following fue yields the most lifetime grafts according to dr bloxham. I would obviously rather have fue scarring over a strip, however i seem to be diffusing into an advanced Norwood pattern and would hate to run out of grafts by starting with fue. I’m stuck between the great results i see from dr Bloxham’s YouTube channel & also great Fue result with less scar. Tough boat

    My guess is we’re gonna get a response along the lines of him having exceptional donor with limited foreseeable loss elsewhere. Although i still think 4K is a lot. Even if he does have 8k grafts in his donor. I’m only comparing this to other cases that used 1500-2000 grafts for the same degree of hair loss .. with similar density
  9. Hair4Days
    Hey Doug, Out of curiosity? why was 4000 grafts used for such a small area of loss? Doesn’t the average patient only have 6-8000 lifetime grafts?

    Anyone who underwent a FUT procedure with Dr. Bloxham? I Am close to scheduling with him unless my indecisive self changes my mind. What were your overall thoughts? how are your results? what was your game plan? Grafts, frontal band? Crown? thanks in advanced!
  11. Hair4Days
    I actually agree with everything you just said. I’m narrowing it down to bloxham and diep for fut. diep shows comb throughs, but the way bloxham combs that wet hair result is just different. That’s what ultimately might win me over. I’m also on pace to be a nw 6 so i really need to focus on using every single possible graft in my donor.
  12. Hair4Days
    Is there a reason why you think bloxham wouldn’t be a homerun as well?
  13. Hair4Days
    What do people hate on for diep? And how satisfied are you with your results from him? Would you change anything?
  14. Hair4Days
    Good morning fellas. I am asking for some friendly unbiased opinions on 3 surgeons. Hasson and Wong, Dr. Blake bloxham, and Dr Diep. I’ve had consults with all 3 and they all seem like they would be good options. I am progressing into a nw 6 so i have opted for FUT, then fue afterwards. Just so i can utilize more lifetime grafts. What are your guys opinions on their results? Who would you recommend? Price and location mean nothing. This is strictly about getting it done right the first time. Thanks guys
  15. Hair4Days
    Excellent. massive difference thus far. I am glad to see a nw 7 transform and beat the odds...with everyone in industry claiming it cant be done on a nw7.
  16. Hair4Days
    sorry i meant to say 500. Yea, i see you added the grafts to the crown, but i was asking, did your doctor mention anything about the dangers of adding to a crown that could progress. Since it kind of looks like your crown is dipping downwards (which indicates an advanced hairloss pattern) ..from my personal research i always thought you shouldnt touch the crown until you completely take care of the front half and then see what the crown does
  17. Hair4Days
    Hey, How come your surgeon added a 100 graft patch to your crown that clearly has dipping signs that indicates nw 7, based on your before photos ? With medication I am sure you will be able to prevent future loss but I thought you should stay away from the crown if an advanced pattern is likely. I hope you dont need another procedure but just wondering.
  18. Hair4Days
    Hey, are you saying its pretty rare that you can get crown coverage on a nw6-7? None at all? Or some, but less density
  19. Hair4Days
    Correct me if you disagree, but when clinics transplant into areas where there is native, yet miniaturizing hair, they pack grafts as if those miniaturized hairs aren’t even there. This means that when they do eventually fall out, you’ll still look dense from the transplants alone. Clinics like feller and bloxham take this approach. They say they will not work into areas that are too dense. Only zones that are clearly on their way out.

    Facts lol. Scarring is inevitable regardless of the harvest type
  21. Hair4Days
    There it is. That answers my question. Although the guy from India did give that guy what he needed, my gut still tells me if i end up a nw 7 then HT shouldn’t be done. There’s just too much loss. I’m going to add some photos here. I may be buggin. Do you think I’ll end up a severe case? I’m going to be 30 in July. Do you see what I’m talking about with that light spot under the crown?

    So what i meant by needing more reassurance, is i would like to see more people on board with the fact that it is possible to get coverage front to back. This is a prodecure that will change your life as well as your wallet forever, so gathering all necessary information is crucial in my opinion...When we say coverage, i dont mean thick 80% density from front to back bro, i obviously know this game is illusion based. I said earlier that i would be happy with a dense front half with compromised density going back into the crown if need be, just as long as its possible to get something there IF i end up a nw 7.. i wouldnt mind sprinkling toppik time to time to make the crown darker. But since you just said "If youre adamant on getting full coverage, dont get a HT" are you now also admitting a majority of patients cannot get what I just described above? Which is totally Fine because my overall point of this topic is that theres legit 50% of people who think its doable and 50% think it isnt.

    So although these results are more then acceptable for where he came from being a NW7, theres a few contradicting opinions Id like to bring up. First, for someone with such an advanced pattern as this guy, why was FUE done? Every clinic in the US has said to maximize your donor capacity, start with FUT, especially in advanced NW levels. Why is it a known fact across the HT board that FUE alone doesnt yeild as many grafts. (and shouldnt be used in advanced patients because youd be entering zones that arent safe like the lower crown.) Even FUE clinics admit this. They say go FUT first then FUE if youre on pace to be a be a nw 6 or 7. Secondly, If this guy in India can achieve basically full coverage on a NW 7 like this, hes proving that scientifically it CAN be done. Why doesnt every clinic say its atleast achievable, considering you see some case of it being done. Does it come down to skill set? Not confident? Beucase its hard to believe its donor supply if you see results like this?? Im sorry, but theres so much contradicting information in this industry to feel confident enough to pull the trigger on a HT. To risk scarring and thousands of dollars, im going to need more reassurance i wont regret anything. @Panamera13 @Jonboy81 @yesplease @JJ1187

    I’m a nw 3/4 with Apparent diffusing on top that can be disguised with the hair grown out.. My issue is i can tell my crown is going to dip down in the back. I can see it getting lighter under the top of the crown .. therefore I’m assuming I’ll be a nw 6 or 7. I refuse to take propecia. Minoxidil is fine. When the inevitable comes, I’m either shaving my head or putting my faith in HT .. however, I’m still not convinced you can get coverage from the hairline all the way back to a and into the crown. As for expectations.. i think I’d accept a dense front half, with less density as you move back, but i DONT want a wide open crown with nothing there at all.. so if it’s possible to Atleast have some crown coverage plus toppik in an advanced pattern then I’d do a HT, but i get so many 50-50 opinions it’s making me wonder if i should just do the shaved head once that time comes (10 years in my opinion)

    If someone is on their way to a NW 7, is it no longer recommended to start surgery? Forget about medication. Lets say your genetics are going to win in the end and you end up with an advanced pattern. With above average donor, what would you guys say? Is there too much demand vs the supply? Would you pass on surgery completely if youre not going to get full coverage?
