    This work shows how much temporal peaks matter! Your face looks "smaller" (in a good way) and you have a better frame to your eyes. I love rounded HL, If I was you, I asked for a "flatter" frontal hairline. But it is just a matter of taste

    Thank you. I think it is shocking that Couto treated a such big are with a such small amount of grafts. Couto Charges more than others for single grafts but he is so skilled and uses such a small amputa of grafts, that you pay less with couto than with other, less famous docs. Did you wait about 2 yrs to get your HT?

    can you explain what kind of PRP he suggested?

    I think that Melvin is right. oral minxodil + minoxidil 15%+duta injections+fina+ dermoroller + prp and I think u will keep (or improve) your hair for years

    I would love taking 1.25 but ufortunately I can't break the pill. At the moment, I'm at 2.5 every other day and I have puffy face, periorbital edema and forehead wrinkles. It is like I am 10 yrs older.... some docs suggest to use spironolactone (50) to avoid puffiness (speciale bonus: spiro acts like a mild antiandrogen). Maybe I'll give a try

    Is it true for topical tretinoine too?

    was going to open a similar thread. Some experts suggest that motorized extractions can damage hair follicles. Is it true?

    FOR THE RECORD: Ferreira saved me. I sent my pics and the dermoscopic images to Ferreira while I was in Ankara. He was kind enough to reply to my email and gave me a diagnosis for free!!!! He said that my donor was ok, I have short but healthy grafts (while pekiner said that I had retrograde alopecia) so he said that I had no problem to get an HT. In any case, he said to wait some months to go to Lisbon, because I was shaved and he was not able to give me the best hairline design with a shaved head.

    face is not perfectly symmetrical. Sometimes a little asymmetry makes the look more natural. In any case, if your hair are not on your frontalis muscle, I would lower the other side.

    It happens. Sometimes it is just a telone effluvium. There is not way to stop it. Just wait.

    can you take better pic? At least, one from the same angles of the pre op pic

    I agree. 50% of the result is not equale to 50% of the price. If you give me a car with 2 wheels, it is a completely useless car, not a car that I can use at 50%. A bad tranpalnt, where you get 50% growth is a disaster. You go from bold to odd.

    I had my first contact with @Dr. Espinosa Custodio. He is amazing. I can say that it is the best online consultation I've ever had. Hope he will take me as his patient.

    @EvansLawrence He said that he could implant that FU, but the result would be "no growth". I am not the only case in 2019/2020. There is another guy from china that had the same experience. I think that from then, he is asking more exams to avoid this issue. PS: in any case, he was wrong. I got my HT 5 days later at HLC (they were kind enough to get me there in a such short period of time) at the result was great.

    no, throw my grafts into the toilet.
  17. duchaine
    To be honest, I do not like the HL design. There are some anatomical rules for the hairline. The frontal temporal angle lies and remains on the lateral epicanthal line. In your case, it doesn't happen. Hope that you will cover this mistake with a long hair cut.

    who said that Bicer and Yaman are the best 2 in turkey??
  19. duchaine
    No, I didn't have an HT before HLC. I had a bad experience with pekiner that shaved me, extracted 200 Uf and then aborted the HT because said that I wasn't a good candidate. With his words in mind, I decided to be conservative. I live in Italy so Spain is close. Never heard of Colelessa and Zira. thanks for the input.
  20. duchaine
    I am thinking to Custodio, but I live bruno pinto too. The first time I was very conservative because I was really scared from my previous experience.

    as you can see, I treated only the frontline but my quality improved all over my scalp

    I could subscribe your review and make it mine. They didn't "damage" me but, considering the number of grafts they used, the result is a little bit disappointing. at 6 months I looked great but I looked great because I spent the whole "pandemic" period taking care of my hair, so the density and. the thickness improved all over my scalp.
  23. duchaine
    tipically, you should stop it 4-5 days before surgery, to avoid excessive bleeding. When the grafts are fixed (typically 48 hours) you can use it again. Some docs suggest to wait longer. I waited 10 days.
  24. duchaine
    some thing for me. I got an HT at HLC, smaller area for 2000 FU.

    Maybe you just had a telegen effluvium and was recovering from it when you started to take vitamin d.
