A surgeon as experienced as Mwamba will have an idea of the potentials and limits each hair type has when it comes to coverage value. To be more scientific in approach, I know some doctors use tools such as Erdogans coverage calculator - I don’t know whether Mwamba does this or not. But it’s as simple as measuring the balding/bald areas, and then formulating the total count by multiplying the required density by the size of the area, taking into consideration whether there are already native hairs present etc. I agree, that as a patient, part of the service you should expect from your surgeon is to quote you a sufficient number of grafts to achieve the density you have both agreed upon striving to achieve. Your example of doctors being more inclined to increase the size of total graft counts @mustang , because the surgery would generate more money, is unethical practice - which we should not expect from any of the doctors listed on this site, correct @Melvin- Moderator ?

Don’t scratch ! 😂 Work looks clean, and at day 8, everything looks as it should. Do you have any pre op pics of your hairline exposed ?

With respect, your posts are just coming across as though you are driving an FUE propaganda train. You’re categorising worst case scenarios of FUT as though they are guaranteed to occur, which is simply not the case. At the end of the day, like pretty much everything in the world of hair restoration - it always come down to the individual patient, and surgical plans should always be assessed on a case by case basis. Then, after establishing this, can a patient weigh up the pro’s and con’s, and choose a decision which is subjective to them - for example patients who are so adamant they don’t want a linear scar, may be able to rationalise with themselves that they are willing to lose out on a few K extra grafts in order to avoid the scar, and have the option to wear their hair shorter on the back and sides. That’s their decision.

What were the dosages for each? 5mg cialis, 5mg oral Minox?

Monzo’s another option . . The exchange range is pretty much on the dot for what the live exchange rate is at the time of the transaction. I would, however, advise booking deposits on a credit card, for buyer protection.

I totally get that from a psychological perspective, as I myself would feel more self conscious of having a noticeable bald crown than perhaps a receded hairline or temple points. But when you talk about improving a persons aesthetic, the most focal part is the front on facing impression that we give people - in which temple points make up part of the facial framing, along with the hairline. I don’t know why there’s such a debate about this, all I originally said was ‘they are important’ . . Which I think is a pretty mild and valid statement.

Nothing dogmatic about it at all, it’s universally acknowledged amongst the hair loss industry that the framing of the face is the most monumental aesthetic improvement hair transplantation can offer, and without temple points, there ain’t no frame ol boy.

Temple points are important. Clinics that tell you they aren’t, probably just can’t do them very well. It is important to obviously have ‘enough’ grafts to focus on them, but in terms of your facial aesthetic - going lighter on the crown, to compensate for prioritising grafts for good temple point and hairline restoration, will result in a more eye pleasing result IMO. They’re hard to do though, plenty of decent surgeons haven’t had and don’t have much luck with getting them naturally blended in. Ask some of the reps on here if they can post three separate cases of patients who have had their temple points restored in the last 2 years, and you’ll be surprised at the reluctance/lack of results.

A better quality picture would be helpful.

Yes, and we see it. Objectively, things like graft survival, and donor transection could be measured - but the overall aesthetic such as hairline design, is always going to be contested in a court of law as subjective.

The best way to shortlist your surgeon , is to gather your own personal data/research from as many online platforms as possible , from neutrally posting patients, who choose to document their journeys, purely for the educational purposes to the communities that they have came from. Ideally - contact them, and chat to them directly (the patients that is). And ideally - meet with the surgeons beforehand for thorough in person consults. I’ve been online for a long time, and have only recently within the last 3 months, came to realise a particular clinic/surgeon who in my opinion beforehand, was one of, if not the best of the best, going off years and years of research, actually may not be deserving of the god given status I once thought was the case - and this was only after speaking to former patients PRIVATELY. The politics in this industry are out of control. All you can do is research and communicate as much as possible, and ultimately base your decision on who would make you feel the most comfortable as a patient going for surgery.

Nice improvement at this early stage already. How do you feel the hairline design frames your face ? I don’t know enough about your case, but given you were a candidate for a more aggressive framing with the temple points addressed, would you feel this would be aesthetically beneficial or just unnecessary?

Given the pics of your transplanted hairline, you most definitely are suffering from MPB, I’m afraid.

This is a really good result you know,

I know it’s not ideal given your hairstyle , but you need to have your hair grown to at least 2-3 guard for anyone to be able to have any real accurate input based upon pics. Who are the 3 surgeons ?

If you’re anywhere near London, just hop on the Eurostar,

Thats the theory.

You have a field of a variety of different crops - and some of those crops only grow with a certain food source. Cut that particular food source, and the crops reliant on it will die.

I think the general consensus is that you lose your minoxidil ‘gains’. So any hair follicles that you have either regrown or strengthened through minoxidil, will re-miniaturise and eventually go, upon discontinuing the medication.

No. Not for the fact you have to pay for the consult, rather that there are much better options a Eurostar away.

I do think her hair loss resembles what I see more of traction alopecia, rather than areata - I always thought areata attacked random patches around the scalp? Her pics seem to show uniform density with a receded hairline , albeit admittedly not having looked thoroughly through many.

Said clinic must be awful, Melvin looks to be in despair!

Melvin think about what your points are . . If it was staged (an act) - surely Will Smith would be ‘acting’ as the direction would wish for the whole scene to be viewed ; He would have appeared angry from the start, and not laughing as the joke was being told (Until the penny dropped) . . And surely his face would have been angry in every one of your freeze frames after he slapped him? Chris Rock was genuinely left speechless and when Will Smith was shouting at him, his responses emulated exactly how a real life situation like that would play out . . Uncomfortable/Scared/Embarrassed/Full of Adrenaline. The large gulp when he tries to transition away and move on, is the ultimate tell tale sign that it was for real.

This is on course for being one of the best transformations of the decade once the crown grows in. Keep it up!

I’ve just watched the uncensored video again - I know they’re literally the highest level of actors you can get, but it’s both of their reactions after the slap, which for me doesn’t suggest it is staged. Will Smith is genuinely fuming, and Chris Rock has been completely taken a back and left speechless - He’s genuinely scared as well when responding to smith shouting.
