hair growth after transplant
karatekid replied to karatekid's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
thanks guys good to hear. and @Rahal Hair Transplant you got me, lol. I just really want to see the result already... yep, I did end up having it with him, and I will definitely soon try to find time to post about it, this great forum is basically where I got all my knowledge about hair transplants and good surgeons, I want to share back. I will just say the whole procedure was really good, the doctor is very professional and nice, Im really happy I chose him. The issue is, that I expected to have bigger procedure - more grafts, but when he examined me he said my hair situation isnt that great, basically my donor also thinning, so he cant take lots of grafts from their... This really depressed me a bit, I wanted to have lower hairline and also put grafts on the sides. So I cant say Im particular thrill, but again, nothing to do with the doctor, it's just my hair. he prescribed me some meds, so Im taking them and hope maybe in future I can have another one (Im fightnig hairloss for a long time, took meds in the past, on and off, didnt help much, but trying now again with different variant, what can i lose...) -
Hi. I have done a procedure of ~2400 graft on my hairline 2.5 months ago. All the hair shed of course but there is still not any growing, is it ok? all the recipient area is kinda light red and almost no hair at all. I know it takes time but I have seen here people that already had the new hair grown by that time or 3rd month. I understand its early so Im not really worried but it seems weird.

Preparation toward a HT procedure
karatekid posted a topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Hi all. So I have my hair transplant procedure set to May 15. It is in another state and it's like 5 hours flight. Im kinda nervous, and I want to make sure I got all the details and I prepare everything right to the day of the procedure, and the days after. I plan to stay there for about 2 weeks after the procedure for the initial recovery. I have some list but it would be very helpful if some experienced people here can add, whatever comes to mind that I might need. One of the things that bother me the most is how Im going to walk around looking REALLY bad (I mean, even without the redness, I just look bad as bald/clean shaved, I never ever shave my head down to zero, doesnt suit me at all). So I wanted to buy some light hat I can wear, which hats can I wear 2 weeks after procedure? Other stuff are some neck pillow, shirts with buttons to wear in the procedure, and some movies to pass the time there because I will probably wont leave the room for few days after the procedure Anyway, any advice in this subject will be helpful. I think there was somewhere in this forum a thread about all the stuff to prepare towards a transplant, I dont find it, if someone can share it here, it will be great. Thanks. -
4900 FUE - Dr. Hasson - Jan 2020
karatekid replied to HisHairness's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
I asked him why only FUE and got some fuzzy explanation. I didnt consider Wong since Hasson is the one whom I reviewed his cases and liked his work, especially hairlines. So after I ruled him out I had other options which are much closer to me, since I live in the middle east, and there are really good surgeons in europe, especially for FUE. -

Worst Hair Loss Products
karatekid replied to Melvin- Admin's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
probably all the crap that advertised in this video lol: I was watching the video and in the beginning I was interested since I thought it was legit, but then I realized he just has a set of products that he tries to sell. One of them is this band btw. complete bulshit anyway. Funniest thing is that his hair didnt change at all, only different style. He is literally nw3-4 -
Someone heard of this tablet called "COMPLIDERMOL 5 ALFA PLUS"? I scheduled a HT procedure and they put it as part of the treatment before the procedure. I looked a bit online but didnt see much info, I did read that it is for women thoguh (and Im a man), so why would they prescribe me that? I never read about this pill also so it is strange. Maybe it's some popular treatment in spain (if there are some spanish guys here)? I want to know if it is from natural component, no side effects etc...

Best surgeon in Europe and Asia?
karatekid replied to jonathande's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Looks amazing, I wished I could enjoy the traveling and the attractions of the place I go to for the transplant (where ever it will be), but I dont think I could, I will be too worried and nervous the days before the surgery, and will be too embarassed to walk around with weird looking head the days after, and probably with physical discomfort and pain. -
Best surgeon in Europe and Asia?
karatekid replied to jonathande's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
@Portugal25 I respect your opinions but I think that the fact that your friend had good results from Ferreira effects your judgement too much. It is only one patient, you cant form an opinion based on that. And reviewing his results on the web, which are not many, show that he is not bad but still not amazing, definitely not close to Pekiner's results, which are pretty crazy, his density and hairlines are of the best I have seen (not going into the whole abortion thing now). In a close price there are more options even outside turkey like Dr Maras in cyprus which is better I think. -
Thanks that is very helpful. Nice idea @TorontoMan I might try it too. Still wonder what about sweat. Even if I avoid sun, I still want to workout at the gym, where I also sweat of course, so question is when can I go back after procedure
-
I wanted to know about hot whether - how long do you suppose to avoid sun exposure after procedure? And do you have to completely avoid it or for short times it's ok? I of course not talking about laying at the beach and getting tan, just everyday activity. And what are exactly the risks of that? The point is Im going to have a procedure in May next year (still didnt confirm yet tho), and I live in a country with really hot whether, so it bothers me that I need to go through the time after the procedure in such condition. And it's not only that it's hot, but I also sweat like a pig, I really sweat alot, so I wonder how does it effect the recipient area. I have no problem to wear a hat in the weeks after the transplant, but the sweat problem still exist. Which also lead me to the second question - from what point is it ok to wear a hat? just a simple baseball cap you know. I really dont want any risk of my follicles getting damaged 😬 Any input on those topics is welcome. It really concerns my to a point I want to move the date to somewhere during winter

Dr Lorenzo or Dr Couto?
karatekid replied to Nugget's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Well, I didnt say anything about the quality, only talked about the client relations. But if you want my opinion - one patient review that you saw isnt really indication for anything of course. As I commented here in another thread, I have seen several of his cases in the spanish forum, and the results look quite good, the point is it is hard to compare some photos taken by low quality cam in shitty lights to HQ videos as posted in his youtube channel, so it's not a simple comparison. But ye bottom line I dont think he really gives everyone the elvis hair. Are his results for the average patient still better than the other top doctors? dont know...
