    Yeah, I know what you meant. It was a good call
  2. PizzaWolf
    Oops.😳 Then good call on your part. Defined temple points look great and add a much better aesthetic, IMO.
  3. PizzaWolf
    @Rossybop I think the temple points were a great idea and will add a huge aesthetic improvement. Some HT surgeons try to weasel out of doing them because they're notoriously tricky to get right. The fact that your doctor recommended them is an encouraging sign. I think this will end up looking really slick. Best wishes.

    @npk21 I tend to agree with the above sentiment. If you aren't taking any kind of DHT blocker, it was inevitable you would lose more hair. MPB and Psoriasis are separate conditions.

    @baalloss You state: "Norwood 4, Aged 55. Had full head of hair till around 50." That's seems unusual for Androgenic Alopecia. I think it's also debatable that the Norwood scale is even applicable to you. Did Dr. Lupanzula have any input about your hair loss situation during the initial consult? "For ref, I started using Rogaine foam from 01-Apr at Dr L's recommendation, and then was advised to switch over to Dutasteride at the beginning of Oct, but I stopped it after a month and returned back to Rogaine due to side effects." Were you on Finasteride before the transplant?

    I'm leaning towards Dr. Bisanga (Brussels) or HLC (Turkey).

    @Melvin-Moderator Thank you.

    @Melvin-Moderator Do you know why most hair transplants don't seem to have as many irregularities placed in them as the photo I used?
  9. PizzaWolf
    You could be right about the DHT blockers and super-aggressive MPB. I decided against De Freitas. I can't find any patients who have hair close to mine. It's always the Spanish-type guys, much like Dr. Couto's results.
  10. PizzaWolf
    You can post whatever you want about him. I was asking the questions to try and clarify what you meant about the technicians. I had an online consult with him recently (or his staff, who really knows). He won't do a HT on anyone who isn't using a DHT blocker, and I suspect that influences how he approaches surgery.
  11. PizzaWolf
    Aren't you the one who just posted those amazing De Freitas transformations in another thread? That doesn't seem like careless work. Maybe he uses his own judgment on a case by case basis to determine his extraction zone?
  12. PizzaWolf
    @RMancini I'm no expert by any means, but the work looks really clean and well designed. Do you have any photos of the clinic or doctor?
  13. PizzaWolf
    What do think is the HT limit of aggressiveness for hairlines?
  14. PizzaWolf
    How does that explain? Are you saying his technicians have gone rogue?
  15. PizzaWolf
    @Melvin-Moderator So you would put that classification of Norwood 0 as off-limits for a hair transplant?
  16. PizzaWolf
    That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying you have no idea what's possible or not because your hairloss is currently untreated. Maybe you'll be an amazing responder to treatments.

    @Melvin-Moderator Zayn Malik I consider kind of goofy looking, so I don't even know. His hairline to facial proportions are off. A solid NW1 in my opinion:
  18. PizzaWolf
    Is moving from a NW3 to a NW1 a miracle? Does a NW1 count as juvenile?
  19. PizzaWolf
    What counts as realistic though? That's pretty subjective. Could a NW3 drop to a NW1 again? @Melvin-Moderator Wouldn't someone who never lost any hair essentially have their teenage hairline forever? I guess I'm just wondering where you draw the line? A hair transplant is also a cosmetic procedure, so why does the patient always have to accommodate their surgeon, rather than their own desires?
  20. PizzaWolf
    @Giulio You need to put any hair transplant considerations on the backburner until you've stabilized your hairloss and hopefully thicken up what you currently have. A hair transplant doesn't "fix" hairloss; it's just a cosmetic reallocation of hair. It does nothing to address the underlying condition. Finasteride would be the obvious choice, but there's also Dutasteride, RU58841, and CB-03-01 to look into. As far as what Norwood level you classify as right now? Who cares. Anyone going for a hair transplant without actually addressing their MPB is walking into a bear trap.
  21. PizzaWolf
    RU58841 and CB-03-01. Topical Finasteride is a different compound.
  22. PizzaWolf
    @Jafreese I personally would be very nervous about getting a hair transplant without first stabilizing my hair loss. Have you looked into the experimental compounds that supposedly have low systemic absorption? There aren't that many options for managing DHT, and that's really what you need for any long-term success dealing with hair loss.
  23. PizzaWolf
    @Ronnieman I'm not telling you this because I want to argue or bully a fellow hair loss sufferer. I'm telling you this because it's reality and the sooner you accept it, the less miserable you'll be in the long run. You have MPB. It's a progressive condition. It always gets worse. It will not just magically halt in a 32 year old. The only means of delaying this progression is by managing DHT levels in the scalp. Finasteride is the gold standard, but there are other options available if you research them.
  24. PizzaWolf
    I was trying to say you're in denial. Your hairloss is 100 percent going to get worse just like every other guy with MPB if you don't do something to prevent it. I think on some level you know this, which is supported by your strange post history.
  25. PizzaWolf
    How do you know he isn't being given an incentive from the clinic? Isn't that counter to the point of this site, and more in line with social media advertising that's often said to be unreliable? I'm not saying it's the end of the world, just kind of lame.
