  1. Time flies and it already my 2 year anniversary. Here is my final update (if thing doesn't change) Overall, I am happy with the HT. I got a lot of praises from my friends and co-workers about how nature it is. With the proper hair style (below), the hair line looks dense and it is impossible to tell about the HT if I didn't tell people. On the other hand, my wife did point out lately that my hair start thinning out in the front again including the HT area. There are times I woke up looking like a guy with serious hair diffusing problem. I also see my hairline recede somewhat at the two corners, even I am on Fin three times/week and apply Minoxidil mousse everyday. At certain lighting, I can also see some random thinning spots at the back where are the FUE donors. My FUT does heal great. Anyway, here are some new photos with the hair dyed black.
  2. I am a real Dr Diep patient and I get nothing from anyone or anywhere to post my experiences here. Overall, I am satisfy with my HT result after almost two years from the date of the surgery. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. However, my wife likes it enough and asks me to go back to do more. I know Dr. Diep does ask his patients to write good reviews on different websites if their results are good. However, it is all voluntary and it is up to us to do it or not. Frankly, all small business owners should do it and it is just a good marketing practice. Not sure why you are kind of offended by it.
  3. Here are some fresh photos to update everyone. It will be 2 years in November. There is truly not much difference since my last update about 6 months back. I am still doing the same regiment on taking Fin 3x per week and Minoxidil 10% once a day.
  4. Good luck to your surgery. As long as you set a realistic expectation that things will not be perfect, you should be happy with the end results. Pro-tip: Ask the technician to shave off all the hair.
  5. I would say it is an 8. Wife likes it but she still thinks the density can be much better.
  6. Some fresh photos after haircut with 2 guard. It has been 15 months since the hair transplant. The only thing on the hair is Minoxidil mousse 10%.
  7. Another update after almost 15 months. Got a fresh haircut this weekend and the hair transplant result is pre. I am still on Fin 1mg three times a week and do feel some brain fog sometime. May try the tropical but unsure. I also apply Minoxidil 10% mousse everyday. My wife does like the results overall and ask me to consider to do another transplant to fill out the crown. I am using Caboki and feel it is doing a great job. Maybe down the road but I just don't want to go through another surgery and recovery now. Here are some fresh photos
  8. A pic today with a #2 guard. The donor area looks pretty good, especially I had both FUT and FUE.
  9. Yeah, the lighting does make a different. I took the below photo yesterday with my normal lighting and I feel it is continue making progress every month. Regarding FUE/FUT, it was truly limited by my budget (from wifey.) It was totally last minute right before the surgery and I am grateful that Dr Diep was even willing to do it. Below is another pic of the back of my head with a haircut today using a #2 guard. The FUT scar is not visible. I feel people should consider FUT with Diep if they are worrying about not enough donor hair in the future.
  10. Thanks guys. I have no plan to do another procedure. I am taking Fin 1mg 3 times a week and minoxidil mousse everyday. Hope it will last me 7 to 10 more years.
  11. Just had my one year follow up with Dr. Diep yesterday. Even though we both agree that the right side can use a little more density, I personally cannot be unhappy about the end results. Nothing is perfect but it is definitely a huge difference between the before and after photos. Frankly, if you are in close proximity to his office, I really feel it is a no brainer to go with him. Is it perfect? Definitely not. However, I was looking for safe bet with no serious disruption to my life. Going with Dr. Diep just makes too much sense. Here are the before and after photos from Dr. Diep yesterday. As usual, I need a haircut...
