Yea the density looks fine and if the shape was good it would prob be a good result but they have literally ran a straight line across a round head. It just doesn't tie into his features. 

At the end of the day its how it makes you feel and by the sound of it he's a happy man although rather him than me 🏃🏼😮

Agreed, looks like they sharpied his hairline straight across and said “kay mates, have at it.” Never understood why some guys want that. 

Great transformation mate, you look great!

there’s been a lot of talk about this doc lately, wanted to get your input. How was your overall experience? 

I was reading that all of his donors look like grounded meat, but I can’t see any scarring in your donor area, it looks good.

Also, noticed your before pic one side was receding higher, I’ve got the same thing. Did you need more grafts on that side? 

That’s incredible, Eugenix is really doing great work. 

Way too low, density looks good. It’s way too straight though. The second picture looks better, but the design is bad.

Anyone know how to get dut in the UK?

Looking slick mate, I’ve heard good things about Dr. Reddy, may need to give him a visit, he’s only in London?

He does 1 or 2 max per day depending on the cases themselves. Waiting list seems to differ depending on the case too. 2 of my friends enquired and were both told different.

 

Ahh I see thanks for the information mate.

Great subject, 

I’m probably gonna travel abroad and wondered this as well. Have any of you ever heard of a doctor accepting paypal?

We have never had a single patient posting a result from him on here. But we do have a member who said that he will! 
Apart from his incredibly long waiting lists (2 Years or so) he does seem to have excellent results. He’s all over the Spanish forums. 
But it would be really nice to see actual patients posting. 

Thanks for the clarification, I had no idea is wait list was 2 years that’s ridiculous. Any idea why it’s that long? Does he only do one surgery a week or something. 

I’ve seen Cuoto on YouTube can’t get any better than that, why’s he not in the forum? 

Damn that looks incredible who’s the surgeon?

I've only bestowed the "Like A Virgin" award to Konior and his disciples and @yalla8's surgeon. But all were deserving.

This is my experience thread. My review will come later along with final judgement. I am just being honest as I go. But the subject of Dr. Diep's work is polarizing. I get singled out because I am thorough with my honesty. Everyone else has their own threads and can sing the praises of Dr. Diep all they want. This isn't the defacto thread on the subject of Dr. Diep. There is a search function on this forum.

Indeed those are pics from less than 6 months. But below are some pics from patients that reached full term. The row placement allows scalp to be easily visible between the rows. Regardless of how things will look after 12 months, the primary goal of surgical hair restoration is naturalness. Human hair doesn't grow in rows. Not sure why there is an argument. The row placement limits the aesthetic results and the hair styles the patient can wear. Some get lucky and the rows work out, some don't. It is a dice roll.

 

I am fine. Like I said, I like how I look now and look forward to the final results. Still, it doesn't give Dr. Diep a pass.

These results look decent to me, bottom pic in the harsh lighting looks a little thin, but I wouldn’t say it’s a botch job or  unnatural. Being totally honest here I can’t notice any rows, but It’s definitely not the BLM hairline that we all desire.

I’m total neutral here, I’m not trying to defend anyone. I love your thread. I’ve observed both arguments. I’m just saying, there was an example posted earlier where the hairline looked really bad at 6 months and then turned out incredible by 12.

Based on that, in my opinion it’s fair to wait to pass judgement on those pictures, till 12 months, considering the similarities and the surgeon. Again, as a casual observer, I believe what’s happened here is you’ve rattled some of Diep’s happy patients, which turned out to be quite a few. I can understand where they’re coming from just like I can understand and appreciate you. Earlier in the thread, I was thinking this Diep guy was a monster. 

After seeing the back and forth and looking up all of those other reviews that Mel provided. I started to think differently. I’m not giving him a pass at all, you are totally right mate, this is your review and it should be about your experience. It took a turn somehow and became something different, which is a shame. I hope you can go back to sharing the meticulous details and facts without all of the other nonsense.

Can anyone share their results?

@jimcraig152

I saw all of those pictures a few pages back, correct me if I’m wrong, but all of those patients, including yourself are under 6 months right? 

I have to say that guy BLMs hairline looked similar to those pictures in the post Melvin shared at 6 months. It’s possible it will improve and look good like BLMs hairline by 12 months.

I think it’s fair to reserve final judgment until then. I hope they follow up at 12 months. I think a lot of results will look like shite before the full time. 

As I said hope you get a good result mate, I think you’re being too harsh on yourself. I’ve seen a lot of other threads with similar timelines and yours looks good in comparison. I don’t think anyone is giving Diep a pass, certainly not me. But I’ve seen both sides and it does make sense to wait for the 12 months. Either way, you have my support, wish you the best, and hope you can find some peace and happiness. Btw that madonna picture in the other thread has me 😂

Keen to see updates as well.

Okay, now I'm intrigued, killer results!

Will be following this thread closely, we've got similar hair loss. The graft placement and hairline looks fantastic.

10/10 results, looks like a new man.

12 so far my friend and 3 more sessions to go. 300 grafts to the crown, 700 grafts to zone 2 and 3 and probably a last pass of 300-400 BHT into the donor area. After that some SMP my work will be completed.

I am very happy with my hair, this journey and everything in between. We all agree it's an obsession but one that gives me great joy every time I look in the mirror. I have enjoyed every surgery

WOW 12 sessions, you're definitely a record setter. The donor looks good to me man, I wouldn't say it looks off at all.

This thread delivers it all, ups, downs, drama, man what a read! 

I have no dog in this fight, but I must say @jimcraig152 you've got to be one of the most meticulous guys I've ever seen.  Honestly, I've seen your pictures and I think it looks good mate, even your donor in the last set of pictures in harsh lighting looks absolutely normal to me. I hope you can find some form of happiness, you're a good guy and the results look good so far.

@Melvin-Moderator You have got a tough job, I for one am grateful for all the work you do here. Didn't know this was your part time job as well, kudos. I appreciate the time and work you put in here, its honestly the best place  to research hands down. Some of the comments are definitely over the top, I can see why they were reported. Exaggeration comes natural to a lot of people.

I see why some people are concerned, especially if things are being done unconventionally. Based on all of the patients Melvin posted a few pages ago, looks like there is consistency to me. Although, I agree with Jim, accountability is important, even if it's just for poor aftercare. Dr. Diep has never been a surgeon that particularly interested me, but seeing some of the results in this thread, there's no denying he's skilled. I would mutilate a baby seal to get the BLM guys hairline 😬  

Keeping in the sports analogy that Melvin gave, we can argue that a boxers jab isn't effective, his footwork is sloppy, conditioning is poor, etc. But if he's got a left or right hand that will put you to sleep, and his record shows it, there's not much else to say. 

Mate your hair is FREAKIN amazing. 9,000 grafts has gotta be a record. How many sessions have you had overall?

 I would like to see what this looks like without fibers. Hairline looks solid though.

What date and what time will this be? Good results are they FUT or FUE?

I would think you still got at least 1,000 grafts in your donor supply.

No one wants to wait to go fully bald, sucks to think that hair loss will progress. Why can't there be a dang cure already.
