When did you have your procedure done and who with if you dont mind me asking. Hows the healing and progress going ?

I had my procedure with dr mwamba in Brussels in early November 1900 grafts healing has gone great! Identical to yours at that point nearing 3.5 months now

Thanks for the advice. But I actually never wear my hair short enough that they're noticeable. However, how do beard grafts grow in? I always imagine them being stiffer and less easy to groom  than regular hair

I know that @Gatsby had beard grafts placed into his scars so he would be able to answer that 

You should look into getting your fut and flap scars covered with beard grafts 

The Afro patient probably went to a clinic that starts with an A and overharvests everyone that goes but those vids were to early to judge as the donor area was shaved down making it “look” over harvested 

I’ll be following closely as I had nearly identical recession where my right side was higher then my left and around the same number of grafts and unshaven 

Looks great! These belgian docs seem to have one of the best approaches to donor management! My donor looked just like that after a couple weeks as well I also event for unshaven and after like a month it was easy to hide the fade grows back by the third week 

90 is heavy density already don’t think 200 cm2 density exists lol 

This is gonna be a very interesting case to follow especially with the flap Situation very unique

My surgery from dr mwamba took about 6 months from consult to surgery most surgeons have a wait time of 6-12 months eugenix is your best bet for surgery being done a few months after consult

Will get on oral minoxidil (and oral finasteride) soon, but I'm still doubtful if it will achieve the results I want (my eyebrows always were very sparse, and I want them much fuller and denser than ever), so I'm gathering info about eyebrow transplants in the meantime in case I need it despite using oral minoxidil. 

 

I see them minox foam probably won’t help it’ll make them as thick as they used to be

@FUECLINIC Does Dr. Mwamba perform eyebrow transplants currently?

Have you tried minoxidil on your eyebrows? It worked wonders for my beard maybe it can help eyebrows 

Your hairline looks awesome already sure your corners are a bit miniaturized but you have to take into account the risks of surgery vs reward I think if you were to go through with it you need no more 1000 grafts for those two corners it really isn’t that bad unless it affects you that much 

Nice job scar is pretty much covered 

Looks like possible thinning in the donor

I would just like to clarify that in no way is anyone trying to tell you that you are not allowed to share your opinion. By all means, share it. Your post was respectful, you just didn’t get the results. Understandable. My first post in this thread was not directed at you.

Huh? I think there’s a misunderstanding lol excellent results for your ht btw!

@Greenlantern2020where are you thinking of going? The donor looks very good though can’t tell you had anything done with the high fade the density is a bit lacking but another top up should settle it 

Looking good Rambo this should be a great result! Looks very dense packed

Thanks!! Yes I am a NW2 or 3. Temple recession although there is still some miniaturization on the temples (some hairs just wont call it quits after 15 years of miniaturization). But the crown, middle, 95% of the front is very strong with no miniaturization.

Do you have a link to the post of the member who did not have to shave with Dr. K? I cant seem to find it. 

Sounds like your in the same boat as me my surgery with dr mwamba I paid extra to not get the top shaved lol and def don’t regret it 

The partial shave is the way to go if your areas are very exposed in a Norwood 2-3 pattern I didn’t have any of my top shaved just the donor and I def look normal in 4 weeks enough that no one till this day can tell I had anything done it just looked like a bad fade at 2 weeks there is a dr K patient on here recently who had his temples done he didn’t need to shave at all he had long hair

Just wanted to update. I re-ordered nanoxidil but by mistake selected minoxidil. I used it for like a week and hair started to fall out. All that hair on crown and temples above this post is basically thin again. So annoying. 😫 Safe to say I am not using minoxidil again and hopefully the hair grows back using nanoxidil. This isnt a for or against minoxidil just me posting results as they happen. 

Nanoxidil? Interesting id like to try this do you have a link? Is it as safe as min

Dillpickle, 

We have to respectfully disagree with you. The patient has noticeably more volume in the transplanted area and a noticeable improvement in the plan area that was discussed and agreed upon with Dr. Arocha. Two years later, the result looks incredibly natural (no one would ever guess he had a transplant) for someone who has fine hair. It's age appropriate and an overall nice improvement for this patient. And, if he decides he wants more, Dr. Arocha didn't deplete his donor area completely, giving the patient options to work with in the future. 

Well I disagree with you and I will repeat it again if the patient is happy which by the sound of it he is then that’s all that matters that doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to share my opinion on it which I’ve made obvious 

Just a quick update hair is growing! Day by day it’s getting better I’m at month 3 and some change but seeing these hairs pop out is motivating! Still using minox and fin daily 

Possibly shock loss, if it doesn’t go away after a year probably over harvesting but looks more like shock loss there’s a yt video by Melvin that illustrates the difference 

Excellent you must be ecstatic with the results night and day from your before and after before no hairline at all now looks like it’ll mature great for you and the fin is doing it’s job well

Hi all - I’m a 37 yr male with a NW3 (been this way for 12-15 years) looking to get a FUE with an estimated graft count of 1850-2000. 
 

Since I’m in Florida, I was looking at doctor Aron Nussbaum however I can’t find any reviews of his work other than what the clinic posts. I know his father is well regarded. His clinic uses Artas which seems to be controversial on here. 
 

Given his pricing is pretty expensive ($8-$9 a graft) for FUE, I wanted to ask A) does anyone here have any experience with him? B) What would be my other options for FUE docs that don’t have a super long waiting list?

 

thanks

Do you have pictures of your hairloss? I would avoid the atras especially at this price
