ah I see the NW5 pattern that Dr. De Freitas was talking about. Good eye by him. Man, that makes me nervous going in to him... Any more updates?

did Dr. Hasson mention when they're releasing their topical dut formula?

I don't think I'd believe anything that hollywood puts out. They have too much money for makeup artists, toppik and other products that aren't going to be what the average person has access to or is willing to use on a daily basis

14,500 grafts wow. Do you know if he meant 14,500 grafts total (taking 50% of the grafts would result in 7250 grafts extractable) or 14500 grafts available for extraction?

3000 sounds right. Temple jobs often are 2500 grafts but you need the forelock replaced as well

different doctors suggest different amounts based on skill, conservatism (or lack thereof), personal experience, and style. If you go to H&W you might get a consult for 3500

He's mid 40's so kinda justifiable

I think she charges less. No clue on the amount though

I always thought the reason strip then FUE was better was because with a strip you can take 100% of the grafts in an area after which you can do an FUE to grab hair from areas where you might not do a strip. So if you have a permanent donor zone of 2 inches high, and you take a 1 inch strip (which you can harvest 100%) and then you do an FUE for the other 1 inch area where you take 50% of the grafts there, you end up having taken 75% of the grafts in that 2 inch high donor zone. Basically the advantage of strip is that it allows you to take 100% of the hair in a given area. And the advantage of FUE is that you can take hair from just about anywhere including places you might not do a strip from like near the crown or the nape That's just my assumption though

They just put a bunch of grafts in a line near the crown which is a bit weird

That's a scary thought lol. You show up NW2 and you find out you're a NW5 diffuse. If anything though, your loss seems like it will be over a long time. Who knows, maybe by the time you lose it all they'll have cured hair loss

where do you have diffuse thinning? i can't see it at all edit: also your situation is quite similar to mine though I'm not sure about the diffuse thinning part so I'm rooting pretty hard for it to work out lol. I haven't been looked at under a microscope yet so that's a possibility for me

Gatsby, you're an easy dude to root for man. Best of luck. I don't think I've ever seen pubes used though lol. I've got a forest down there man, same with my ass hair... The only problem is that my hair is straight as hell so BHT would never work for me

It's always nice to have a doctor respond but honestly a lot of questions that you would want the doctor to answer can be answered by representatives. Especially if a lot of those questions are just routine questions (i.e. how soon can I get a transplant, what pattern of loss do I have, should I do FUE vs FUT etc)

Any chance he'll do the same offer with the dutasteride formulation? Also I'm not 3v but Dr. Hasson mentioned that this formulation works just as well for the hairline didn't he? Seems like you shouldn't need crown loss to qualify based on that. (Un)fortunately, I'm not losing in the crown so I don't qualify.

The most I'll say is that he's definitely got a unique look to his hairlines. You can tell a hairline is by De Freitas pretty quick. I personally find his hairlines quite appealing

your forelock looks weak so imo 3k if you reinforce the forelock

i'm a big fan of the grafts they put in your hairline. it's gonna come out great.

Dude seems like a sketchy reaction youtuber. AKA bottom of the barrel content designed to get clicks. Plus his content isn't even that accurate. He pegged Elon Musks FUT transplant at roughly 10 dollars a graft and that's a bit dishonest because the only way you're paying 10 dollars per graft FUT is if you go to Konior

I think most doctors are willing to discuss a hairline with you. It's not like Dr. De Freitas tells you to go NW1 or go home

You should just go to Europe. The cost is very different but the quality isn't. How many grafts are recommended?

If the topical dut is $99/month, I'd be curious how it performs compared to things like Dr. Mwambas formulation which might last you a couple months

What does that mean? Norwood 0 = juvenile hair line. It's rounded and even looks like something women would have. No doctor will give this to you. NW1 is a straight line

Are you on fin? I'm surprised you had almost no shock loss wow

Hairline can be negotiated which is nice but some doctors also wont do certain things like temple peaks
