Totally disagree, a certified and highly skilled surgeon will need to create accurate circulate shape pattern to give the best coverage illusion, many amateur jobs consist with random undefined pattern that won't give the correct illusion effect, crowns also need much triple and double grafts for high density, many hair mills and poor doctors don't save those grafts for crown procedure, buttom line there's no easy jobs, never compromise when it comes to cosmetic surgeries.

Amazing 👍🏻

@Capt.hair when you testify a hair mill or clinic x do "the same procedure steps" as HDC, I understand you've been in both clinics for the whole procedures to compare... It's not the technique that matter, it's who is your surgeon that makes the real difference, I had my 1st horrific FUE by a hair mill in Turkey which I mentioned on my threads, then had 2 great repairs at HDC by Dr. Maras and his team, nothing was the same, from the anesthesia,punch, incisions, extractions and implanting. There's is no such a thing, that only a doctor do FUE procedure by himself, punch and extractions are the surgical parts that by law required to be done only by M.D surgeon, but it's also important that the M.D is very skilled, some of HDC technicians are working and certified since the clinic was found in 2003, our staff are posted on our site so the patient can know before we don't have some random unexperienced technicians, extractions and implanting by technicians are standard procedure that done by many professional clinics around Europe and USA, so I find this strange and odd that you specifically bashing HDC. Some countries like Turkey don't have federal enforcment over surgical procedures which encouraging black market clinics to not follow western standards protocols with unexperienced techs that do amateur job for cheap price. We have enough reviews with photos that we didn't choose to post only by paitents themselves...

Somewhere around late 20's - early 30's (some occasions mid 20's), a doctor can predict what will be the final Norwood pattern of the paitent, usually yes NW7 potential you can see on early mid 20's paitents, meds usually used by NW2-5 and some NW6 to preserve the donor from diffused hair.

If it's not too soon, around 2000-2500 depends how deep the clinic can go, need more photos with measurements and hair comb backwards, but the hairline you posted is VERY unnatural, too low that touching your forehead muscle with women peaks frame.

Buzz cuts usually looks fuller, but as @Melvin- Moderatorsaid, it's better to take care first of frontal area in most cases, anti hairloss meds usually work best for the crown, it's only a suggestion but not must of HT. You need to grow hair 2 weeks for better HT exam consultation.

USA like every Western country require by law that only an M.D can perform surgeries and anesthesia, it's illegal that a technician do it, technicians do the extractions and implanting since it's not surgical parts of the procedure.

We need more pictures, frontal and comb backwards. You need to be at least NW3 and loose at least 3cm of the hairline center, don't do temples only without center.

You'll need around 3000 up to 3500 grafts, will need to do more examination with measurements, donor looks good. Minoxidil and Finasteride can help to prevent some future hairloss, I prefer liquid Finasteride.

Depends how the job was done, beard grafts are harder to do than scalp donor, because the skin is softer which make the punch job more demanding.

You don't need HT yet and DO NOT lower your natural hairline.

You're Norwood 5, the back head donor looks good, sides donor need more diagnosis because it looks thin, depends also what your scalp measurements, the hairline you draw in red is too low, it will at take at least more 1000 grafts for that extra 1-2 cm.

Donor looks good for 2nd procedure, you may do procedure over frontal area, crown is maybe too soon and better wait for more hairloss progression.

Always make sure that the "doctor" has an MD, many countries like Turkey, Pakistan, Georgia, India can have only local paper with "doctor" entitled but not MD.

Zigzags finish are for natural result, but should be made in correct way.

@Jamos1982we need more photos for better estimation, but seems you have a great donor above the average with thick hair, I think you can cover the frontal and middle scalp with 4000-5000 grafts in total with 1 big session option, additionally your corridors have full thick hair with narrow scalp structure, definitely ideal to assist the HT result, great candidate 👍🏻

Never met or heard a surgeon state that. There's is few cases of a Caucasian blond candidates with very thick hair that will give impressive high density result, maybe these were the cases the surgeons, but never to say that all absolutely blond Caucasians are more than average candidate, a clinic must always give good reference results for every new candidate, dark skin can give extra coverage effect with black hair. This is example for a thick blond Caucasian candidate we had at HDC, he was NW6 and had 2 procedures with over 7000 grafts:

How old are you? Caucasian blond hair in general will give less coverage effect, seems you're now NW5 with a some thin hair over middle scalp with a future pattern for at least NW6, you need to grow your hair for better estimation, I think you might can have low density result, not all candidates want this. You also need to check you have enough donor for 2 procedures. I had 3 HTs, my 1st experience was horrible by a hair mill that botched me very badly and overharveste my donor, trust me you would care a lot it this would've happen to you, it sounds the doctor you checked was ethical and realistic with you, because there's many unethical doctors and cheap hair mills that will give you broken promises that will do it to get your money no matter what.

I myself was botched badly by a hair mill in Turkey, then after had 2 repair procedures by Dr. Maras, I was lucky because many botched paitents can't have repair procedures.

Hello, our MDs Dr. Maras and Dr. Christina specializes with donor perseverance, the clinic separate the procedures for 2 days of surgery (around 2500 grafts per day) to not overharveste the donor with space between every punch, you can check our results in our Instagram and contact me for consultation: https://instagram.com/doronhairadvisor_hdc?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Do not do HT in a hair mill in Turkey, Afro procedure are tye most demanding with delicate approach with a lot of patience. *By your photos* I think it's too early for HT, never lower your natural hairline if it's not regressed.

Thank you all 🙏🏻

When you comb your hair the hair is waving with some "wobbly" staggered pattern and not static appearance, most men have the staggering growth to the left, so a transplanted hair should be also transplanted in correct abglw to give better natural and coverage effect.

Natural hairline results have characteristics: - Hairline design under or touching the forehead muscle, many hair mills just do it over the muscle which waste at least 1000 grafts for unnatural aggressive hairline (it's also better save the triple and double grafts for crown procedures). - Natural design can youthful or conservative more round shape depends on paitents potential and wishes. - Correct hairline design is not enough, the MD must be high skilled surgeon to make the slits in a zigzags finish and not symmetrical. - Around the first 3 cm should be consistent with single grafts only for delicate natural appearance, if the clinic extra pedant, they'll pick the thinnest single grafts over the first row, to separate the single grafts the clinic must use microscopes, to rightly practice professional Micro grafts protocol, which cheap hair mills don't follow. - Implanting grafts must be correct so the growth will be at around 30 degrees angle (usually it's decided for a paitent to do 30), I saw many amateur jobs with 90 degrees growth 😵‍💫 - Most men natural growth is from the left to right, so the clinic need to adjust the correct point growth.
