I just read the whole thread and got a feeling for the answer - didn't know it existed before you mentioned it to me in another thread, Melvin. Thanks!

Dude you are basically a NW0 with no traces of a HT ever being done. Incredible results, congrats and enjoy!

Man I'm very impressed. The front 1/3 looks very thick, like native thick. How is that even possible with just 3500 grafts? Specially compared to Looking for HT, who had a similar number of grafts transplanted adjusting for the area covered.

Looking at the temples, I would say it's not just a matter of density but I think the angles of the implanted hairs are not matching the area. But overall looks good.

Lol you got 20 years younger already after just 4 months. Killer results, I get so happy when I see people getting so satisfying results. This made my day.

It doesn't look depleted but you can definitely spot some "gap" areas in the back of his head when shaved. Anyways very good results overall.

Cool! Good to know, I'm checking it out

I just came a cross a video where a guy had a little more than 7000 grafts FUE where 1600 were beard hairs (rest scalp) and the overall result is really good (I'm posting the link at the bottom). Now I've seen transplants where chest hair was used and it was very noticeable and looked bad on the scalp. In that case where bead hair was used I got surprised that I couldn't spot any different looking hairs on the scalp - they all looked the same (and good!). Is it because beard hairs look like more scalp hairs than chest hairs or was just the doctor good in blending in everything? I'm very excited about the possibility of beard hairs looking good on the scalp because I have a lot of thick and strong hairs under my chin that I bet would make good donors.

Found this in another forum and I think it's one of the best restorations on a N-VII dude I've ever seen. I didn't know beard hair could look that natural:

Woah, very informative post. Thanks for taking the time to write all that up for us!

Yes please fueshare give us some pics of your final result, thanks!

Good find man. And thanks Fueshare for sharing your results with us. To be honest, while not bad they are a far cry from what Zarev showcases in his website and social media account. On the other hand, I like that the photos were professionally made with flash and no gimmicks even in 2014. Very transparent and correct of Dr. Zarev. Your procedure got done a long time ago, maybe he got better since then since he is still a relatively young doctor. Do you know if he used his AVA technique in ir your procedure or if it was available in 2014? Also as other have already asked, it would be great if we could see what were your definitive results since you stoped posting after the 4 month mark. Thanks!

Very true, the results he is publishing is for certain the top of the top of his work. But... If you compare Dr. Zarev's top results with the top results of other good doctors, his results STILL stand out or even blow away the ones from the other doctors. He is obviously doing something very right. Possible reasons why he is achieving those results: - He claims his extraction technique allows him to extract 60 percent of hair from the donor area, without leaving any obvious signs of damage or barren gaps. - I've also read that he claims he can achieve 98% of survival rate of extracted/transplanted hairs. - He is very meticulous on how he plans and organize his sessions. Take a look at that this videos between 3:30 and 4:30 - He may be aggressive in what he consider the safe zone of the donor area - He supposedly doesn't use technicians to actually perform de surgery, doing all the craft by himself. - He is very talented.
