  1. Maybe it's different for black dudes. I feel like black guys can shave their head and have it be more acceptable than most other races. OP is 20-30 and maybe he wants a 20-30 year old haircut. But once he's in his 40's, a bald head is a very acceptable look for 30's+ black dudes since guys like Terry Crews, Michael Jordan and the Rock are all shaved. Whereas with other races, there are only a handful of shaved heads. White guys have the Jason Statham's for sure but it's rarer. And good luck if you're Asian
  2. If you're NW2/3 @ 32, chances are you are not going to be a NW5/6. Maybe that's the pattern your maternal grandfather had, but NW2/3 at age 32 is probably the most common balding pattern in existence probably. I don't think it means anything to be NW2/3 at 32 other than you're NW2/3 at 32. Do you have any crown loss at all? Anyway, best thing you can do is have a doctor check you out and maybe get on preventative medication.
  3. I don't know if H&Ws involvement with FUE is very limited... They've been doing FUE for longer than some doctors have been doing HTs. They've probably been doing FUE for nearing a decade at this point. And FUE/FUT implantation is more or less the same since FUE is just the extraction method.
  4. I have no idea if Rassman is retired. There seem to be reports that he's retired but I spoke to him on the phone a few months ago and he said he wasn't retired. But maybe he sold his practice? But yeah, to answer the question - Hasson and Wong. Konior too probably but I haven't been around all that long to know for sure
  5. Did they release topical dut on xyonhealth already?
  6. I don't really get the point behind this lol. Why take fin when you're on dut
  7. Idk. Even in worst possible conditions, your hair shouldn't look like that unless you're dealing with MPB
  8. donor looks pretty decent if the shaved picture is anything to go by
  9. It's always a good idea to discuss the issue with the clinic. Sometimes they'll acquiesce because at the end of the day they don't want to cause people problems. Just like in other areas of life, good communication can avoid a lot of unnecessary headaches
  10. Makes sense given that the drug does go systemic based on what they said. I think it reduced DHT by a certain percent. Shame it didn't work out for you
  11. Can't you get a transplant without meds if you're middle aged with limited loss (i.e. mature hairline)? Like say his buddy is 50
  12. Mine is really thick and straight. I've had it basically impaled into my skin. It happened to my girlfriend as well lol
  13. 250k euro is utter garbage for being a world class doctor honestly. Though he is in Portugal where CoL and average salary is lower but I still don't consider 250k euro all that impressive if you are at the top of your profession. Not that 250k isn't a lot of money for the average person, but being one of the best hair transplant doctors in the world hardly qualifies you as an average person
  14. Depends on what you consider a good hair look. Would a person who has a lot of hair loss benefit from not doing temples? Yes, because you are saving grafts and going for a more conservative look. Aggressive temple points also mean lots of grafts spent making everything else match the temple points. You can't have an N64 cartridge hairline without lowering your hairline everywhere. If you go for a conservative hairline, you can also go for more conservative temples and you're basically saving a nice chunk of grafts and $ Would it look weird if they weren't touched? Not really. If you went for a less aggressive hairline, then somewhat receded temple points would also make sense.
  15. Yeah I agree. Most clinics probably max out at like 4k-5k grafts a day by my guess. Also to add on, overhead is expensive. You're probably going to have a team of techs, advertising/marketing/sales as well as just regular staff (janitors, receptionist, etc). Hasson & Wong for example have probably a dozen employees alone in their surgical team (based on their website). https://hassonandwong.com/surgical-team/ . Rent is also a thing. I'm not sure if I'll argue a hair restoration surgeon is underpriced, but I'll definitely argue that the top of any skilled profession is probably going to make bank.
  16. It's not really my place to say obviously but your hair looks great. I don't think you need a transplant.
  17. That's a good point. It's not about the days the doctor works rather it's the frequency the doctor conducts surgery and to what degree the doctor is delegating. I checked the hours for Dr. De Freitas and he only works Mon-Fri so it made me relieved to book a Monday date
  18. I booked my surgery with Dr. De Freitas on a Monday (I was pretty insistent on that) just cause statistically, Monday is the day when people are most productive. Also, it seemed really nice to me that I would be able to fly in any day from Friday to Sunday and have an entire weekend off to figure things out
  19. Ah I could've swore I read NW5. Going back now I don't see a single mention of it aside from the fact that you're diffuse lol. Idk why I thought NW5.
  20. Don't let it get you down man. Melvin and Gatsby are going through the same thing so you're not alone. I'm sure you'll look great and I'm rooting for you
  21. I was researching visas and one of the interesting things I read about is the Schengen Visa. From what I understand, if you're from certain countries (Europe, Canada, US) you can get by without a visa in those countries
