Surgeon's have to pay for their recommendation here. If they don't pay they don't get recommended, even if they are the best in the world. In my opinion, some clinics here have far too many poor results to justify being recommended. It's all about money, not about helping people. It should be used as a source to view before and afters, nothing more.

Yes I have to agree. Its all about business.

This site was created to obviously make money. I was wrong and too naive to think it was created as an open platform that put people's needs first. This is why you won't find the best clinics on here stupid enough to pay to come to this forum when they  dont need it.

The only people who think otherwise are those who work for the site. Again obvious.

On another post I mentioned that some users were actually blacklisted from not only visiting this forum again. But were blacklisted from visiting doctors that this forum gave contact info  to without ANY consent, thereby breaking privacy law.

My best advice to all you is to research as many resources as you can. Dont put all your eggs in 1 basket by visiting this forum only. Visit  lots of them. Ask as many questions as you can even if you feel theyve been answered already. Theres a lot of evil lurking on forums that dont have your best interest at heart but your money.

Dont be afraid to speak up loudly.

Good luck to all you.

@killa You can ready my story and see pics below.

So Dr. Rahal has an edge in results and experience. But again, Hasson backs up his work and stands behind patients so something to consider.

Looked at your hair results by rahal. I'm sure a 2nd procedure would help add more density. Are you thinking of getting a 2nd treatment?

Our recommended doctors sponsor the forum. We’re very transparent about this fact.

Under no circumstance will we allow a hair transplant surgeon to censor a patient on our forum, regardless of who they are. Just because we choose to recommend a surgeon does not mean that they have any control on how we run the forum. We’ve removed surgeons before who we found to be unethical, and yes these surgeons have sued us for it. We were also sued by Dr. Armani, because we didn’t remove negative threads.

We are an independent forum, while we do have our recommendations, we allow anybody to post their results, regardless if the surgeon is recommended or not.

Wowwww. Theres no truth anywhere not even on the net. From what I know whenever a forum or organization is funded by a group of professionals or companies usually theres opportunities for abuse. Happens all the  time no exceptions.

Which brings me to this crucial incident. Someone I've talked to before who was on this forum until a few years ago said he was blacklisted from contacting certain doctors because he voiced very strong opinions about specific clinics and doctors. At first I didnt want to believe him though a part of me was convinced he was telling the truth. Wont name him so dont ask. What he told me next was a big shocker I ddint think was real. He said this forum sent his contact info to different doctors that sponsor this site and thats how he got blacklisted from visiting any of those doctors. Now that you admit to the private funding  of this site I have no choice but to believe him 500%. This is wild. I'm really silenced now.

So whenever you voice your 1st amendment freedom of opinion about a clinic not only do you run the risk of getting banned or blocked, but you also get blacklisted by clinics from ever treating you.

No offense with what I'm gonna tell you but I got to say it so we're on equal footing given what you wrote. I respect you as long as you respect me. Thats how I roll in life. I like the forum I'm new but have visited it for many years without going on it. I'm no troublemaker at all. Anyone of my friends or relatives  who know me will tell you  I'm open and  curious about things and finding out how they work.  I research and ask lots of questions. If I got to criticize someone   I'll do so with absolutely no fear in my heart but respectfully. But if I ever get mysteriously blacklisted or blocked by certain clinics for reasons which make no sense like the dude I mentioned I'm gonna trace that here to this forum.  I'm saying this with a lot of respect to the forum. keep in mind I know what its like being blocked from certain areas in society with  my background. So I dont play when it comes to that. Just letting you know to protect myself. Appreciate your honesty and much respect.

Yes, it is funded by their payments. Others will confirm this.

wow. tahnks for letting me know. I'll be on guard for that while I'm on here. Very unfortunate

you guys would be surprised how many members contact us asking to remove all of their posts because they're being sued. Most of these clinics/ surgeons are not well-known, we've even been sued several times ourselves, freedom of speech isn't free, but its necessary.

I'm glad that I belong to a forum that truly keeps a free and open environment where surgeons and patients are held accountable for their actions and words.

But this is whats confusing to me. On  another thread someone said clinics pay to get reciommended on this site. This is forever confusing cuz this is supposed to be a forum to help people make wise decisions  without any external influence. Now youre saying this site gets sued???

This is mind-boggling now. Thought this site was an independent forum that kept clinics from manipulating people's buying decisions by protecting them. If this is true then I cant trust anyone on here. I thought this forum was different.  Hope i'm wrong about this.

Wow. Always amazing results from h&w. Wish i could attend th event

instead of comparing h&w to rahal, compare "dr. rahal" to "dr hasson" to "dr wong." a lot people lump h&w together. they are very different docs.

-wong is known for density, coverage, crowns. 
-hasson is known for hairlines
-rahal is know for hairlines

for hairlines, both rahal and wong have different styles. rahal has more experience in fue and results. but wong, hasson stand by their patients. so might not be a concern.
 

years back I read about patients requesting more lowered hairlines from h&w. And h&w gave them what they wanted. The patient had one of the best results I've ever seen in the history of hair transplants and was crazy blown away. wow.

btw post your pics of your results for us see. Would love to check it out. Cool post.

Wait a very long minute. You're sayiing clinics pay this website to be able to be recommended on it?? Tf??? Ok I'm getting spaced out in the mind now. If thats true and trust me I'm not disbelieving you since this is the 1st time reading this, but is this site  funded by clinics or am i wrong about that?

I'm very confused and possibly disaappointed now. Let me know that and hope you can support that claim. Again I'm not disbelieving you since its possible but I'd like to know for sure.

Ok I'm feeling that it looks good for 8 months. You got that superstar look going

I dont have personal experience from neither, but from my research, H&W show much more consistent and better results than Rahal.

Also I think Rahal doesnt do FUT at all

Have to agree. From what I've seen over 7 years h&w produces far better results than rahal.

Personaly h&w is my top 3 fave surgeons now.

Correct rahal doesnt do fut at least not anymore from what i've read. Also saw a site about a dude who was upset that rahal messed up his scalp. Posted pics and it looked horrifying.

Anyway pick someone in your gut you can trust.

Check out the BHR YouTube channel. There are a couple scattered throughout if I recall.

I checked those out as you mentioned on the yt. But his results on the crown isn't that good. But thanks anyway.

From my understanding these are molecules that stimulate stem cell activity, but they are not stem cells themselves.

Possibly growth factors.

Currently, the carnivore diet is the hottest subject but it's an extremely controversial one and one just can't jump into it without any consultations with the doctor. Low carb is a way to go. But I like how Vietnamese look into the subject of weight loss from the complex systems perspective sức khỏe .

But i mean the carnivore diet is like the atkins diet that focuses mostly on protein sources like meats and eggs on the rlt. Same dog different leash.

Keep in mind too that the foods sold in america are full of unnecessary junk which can build fat and make us addicted to it. Then you have Tv ads with McD, popeyes and golden corral  just to name a feww that wires our minds subconsciously to crave foods, fast food and what not.

In order to diet and exercise effectively you need to first above all else discipline your mind to tame it into determination and positivity so that when the notion of unneeded unhealthy food comes up in your mind youre well trained mentally to avoid them and just focus on healthiness which has to be the main focus no matter what.

Dont do machines though.  Any exercise equipment that makes exercising easy should be avoided. Instead of a stationary bike just ride a bike outside,. Instead of a treadmill just walk or job for 30 minutes outside. anything that takes pain away wont make you gain. I klearned that the hard way in the form of $1400. Threw that machine away and started running almost erevy day. In 3 months time alone lost 27 pounds.  drink plenty water. shower a lot.

This dude nailed it. Either that or start snorting cocaine. You won't even bother eating anymore.

Keep in mind the object is to lose fat not lose weight necessarily

try fasting for 18 hours once every 2 weeks.

so hold on are theese like stem cells?

Anyone knows of a shampoo that dyes your hair black?

To be honest I didn't ask as I decided not to go back to Minoxidil, hence not worth using dermaroller as well.

when will you go back for a 2nd round of transplants?

oh boy.. fly keeps circling.

Again another thread of Dr. Wesley's that shows no photos of graft placement. Although this looks like a big improvement, 2.3k drafts for this HT seems like an overkill of grafts where Dr. Wesley might have a high transection rate of grafts or a low survival rate. 

 

We would much appreciate it if you posted photos of graft placement. 

Hey steph. Seen your post about welsey on another thread. Maybe wesley has a yt vid showing that? Just my 2 cents

Look. I’m not telling anyone to not post or not say anything specific. I just told him about my own experience. There was a clinic on here that posted before and after pics with totally different lighting and backgrounds. I kept commenting that they needed to change it and it looked bad. Then I was issued warning points and banned after the clinic reported me.

Ok I understand. But it doesnt make sense for a forum thats out here helping people to do that. I cant comment on how the forum handled your case. But maybe it was the way you complained about it, but I dont know just saying. But let me know or pm me the clinic or page in question. i can look into it and judge for myselfs.

Does bisanga do crowns well?
