Stop stirring up drama, my only warning.

All i'm saying is the other guy says he's taking a break for a few weeks, and now this guy pops up an hour later with virtually the same thread. Pretty clear he was at least coached. But fair enough. 

Looks eerily similar to another thread here, almost like it was written by the same person 🤨 

Seen this guy on YouTube, he hasn’t updated his channel in a while either.

Looks awesome mate, perfect for no shave November.

Bro. I just had my second procedure. Trust me, I needed it. But if I posted some pics of me in concealer, and the right lighting, I'd look like I had a head of hair like John Stamos. Even video, too*

Fair enough, it would be a shame if docs are using concealer to make results look better.

Wow what a difference, your crown looks so dense. Did you have any work there?

I'll admit that I'm surprised when you say, "there's no way" this advertisement can be fake.

There's plenty of smoke and mirrors going around the HT industry.... I want to know if Couto has been published in peer review journals ... not those phony journals that aren't peer reviewed, but credible journals.

As it stands right now, and given the information that's out there, Couto is HT marketing at its finest.

How can you fake a part down the middle? I’m sure it’s favorable lighting, etc, but I’m sure those results are legit.

Looks fantastic mate, who’s the surgeon?

Papa John's pizza also looks delicious in their commercials.

Does anyone know if Couto's been published? In reputable (peer reviewed) journals with other doctors, etc? Honestly asking.*

Alls I’m saying is there’s no way he could be putting out results that look like this if he wasn’t good.

@BDK081522 best practices are individual to the patient. I like that we question practices and protocols, that is absolutely necessary, it does keep accountability. But there is a fine line between questioning a protocol and appointing yourself the authority (not you in particular but the community in general). I will be speaking with Dr. Lindsey on Tuesday at 1PM EST on Instagram, I suggest you all join me, it will be educational, be open and receptive. 

Guys,

Now, we are completely de-railing @MagnificentAl thread with what happened in another thread.  This thread isn't about best practices, it's about Al's progress and journey. This stops now. I hope i've made myself clear.

Fair enough, just thought I’d prove a point.

I've been told by other top notch doctors the stats they quote on the "megasessions" are misleading and I think double counting in some way 

Whaaat?!? Care to elaborate.

We're all just trying to gather as much information as we can and I agree with much of what you say. It's 100% true that each case is unique and as such should be treated that way. I've said that many times. The best surgeons in the world take this approach. That being said, there are guidelines to follow for best possible outcomes. When these guidelines are deviated from too far you can get sub-optimal results. Of course there's many ways to skin a cat but through years of trials and tribulations the best surgeons have developed best practices. There is no universal safe zone. This has been established, however, extracting from a concentrated area on one side of the head of a virgin scalp for a larger FUE case is just not best practice. And I disagree with your comment "so basically one side". The extractions have been spread out evenly throughout the posterior and occipital side of the patient's head. Not just one side. 

Come on mate, you know darn well that’s one side of the head. 

One thing I’ve come across in this forum is deep biases. One surgeon does one thing, he’s bad, poor technique, lazy, etc. The forum darling does the same thing, excuses, excuses, to the point where people are saying it’s not one side 😂 

You have two sides on your scalp the left and the right, if you only do one, its one side. I mean c’mon this is obvious.

That main guy Abe has fantastic hair though, the scar us bad, but can’t say I’d consider that a botch. It could be he got repaired somewhere else though.

@JohnAC71 The doc was Konior. I feel better saying it a page or two into the thread now, just didn’t want to call it out right away without knowing how the initial content would look. I’ll do a more concise thread later when the case is closed. I’m planning an open letter thanking Dr. K himself, so I might do it then.

 

But yeah, should be a fair number of grafts in the weak spots, so I’m expecting lots of improvement. Such a slow process! You don’t wake up and go “wow, look at the hair”. On the other hand, it’s only 3.5 months and I could already work with what I got if the cut were less noticeable. My advice to other guys would be to ignore it for like 4 months and don’t torture yourself waiting for those early sprouts.

Seems like Dr. Konior is the forum darling, he definitely has a lot of happy patients. I was literally about to ask you the name of your surgeon haha😅

In my experience, reducing it to 1mg EOD has helped.

IMO the hairline isn’t too low, height isn’t the issue but rather the incredibly flat, circular shape that completely lacks natural irregularity, lingering light redness in the recipient that stands out more due to the shape and a lack of softness likely due to multigrafts.

Fifteen year olds have all sorts of different hairlines, high and low but the key is they look natural. This doesn’t look natural.

It sounds bad to say it but guys like this patient have mental illness as a result of insecurity in their hairloss that causes them to become totally blind to viewing their results from the perspective of the average person walking by.

You’re right, it’s the shape, it’s flat, and one side is lower than the other. No one has hairlines like that.

Just checked and yes it’s still £3 a graft. Google the hair Dr. Or if you like I can pm you a link. 

Thanks mate, 

just googled him, gonna check out some of his results here as well.

From memory I think he charges £3 a graft. 

😳 ok now I’m really intrigued. 

I’ve never heard of this surgeon, he’s in the UK, that’s great. Seems like the UK has overpriced hacks for the most part. I will research this doc closely. Any one know the cost?

Isn’t this Breezula? I’m skeptical that it would block androgen receptors without causing ANY side effects.

Thank you. It's only been the past 2 weeks really where I've seen most of the growth. Hope you're doing well. 

I’ve always wondered about that, what do you tell co-workers and friends. Do you tell em it’s fin?

Cuoto is a marketing success story. And so many people around here have bought into their marketing vehicle of YouTube.

 

Idk if I agree, he puts out results regularly on YouTube, he’s got to be consistently good to do that.
