I'm considering taking minoxidil. Will initially applying it cause shedding before any regrowth occurs? If so how long will this shedding last before noticeable regrowth?

Hold on. I thought minoxidil regrows hair not "enhances" it. Define "enhances."

TURKEY IS NOT IN EUROPE

Came across a clinic on another ht website that claims it doesnt post any before/after images because doing so violates turkish law which I called it out on. Of course this is bullshit in disguise which prompted me to warn you guys in case any of you decide to risk your money and health to it. The clinic is headed by Dr. Keser based in turkey. Heres the url: https://forum.hairsite.com/t/dr-keser-2000-grafts-fue-low/30142/12

Yeah it really sucks with the blame going to covid.

So the secretary at the clinic told me the clinic is open but theyre NOT accepting any patients or consultations til next year.

I called Couto's office and its not gonna reopen until next year. Very sad

Hey guys. As someone curious about celeb hair transplants, I want to know what doc do you think Elon Mush got his transplant from? Few sources say Turkey but I hugely doubt that a man of his high caliber of intelligence and research prowess would be dumb enough to even consider that nation as a viable option. Let me know what doc you guys think he got it from!

No, thats not it! The mod that has booted and harshly criticized those users voicing their honesty I still see on here. Nonetheless I greatly appreciate your time and help.

But isnt that what all ht clinics do anyway? Makes perfect sense. Couldnt have put it better myself. Looks like I'll have to dig deeper into the forum to research more clinics, docs and patient experiences before convincingly pointing my index finger at a ht doc before sealing the deal. Thanks for the well informed info !

Appreciate this. But wasn't the lawsuit targeted at the late dr. Armani and not Dr Baubac? At least that's the impression I get from the info, I could be wrong though. Not to defend the armani clinic since I'm talking from the sidelines here, but I have come across on this forum mods who have booted out users simply for voicing their honest opinions of clinics/docs which to me and most of the world I find hypocritical as a 1st amendment defender the forum claims in the link to uphold. My honest 2 cents, take it for what its worth.

YOUVE GOT TO BE KIDDING DUDE!!!! WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There goes my future goals. Thank you covid, really appreciate the shit world you created for everyone.

Hey hello, Appreciate your insights into these docs. However I'm at a loss to understand your question as to why I'm focused on these docs. I believe their results answers it. Seems as though people here dont like Baubac for whatever reason. Very strange. I saw a vid by joe tilman expounding upon the work of doc Yaker. Seems capable but want to make sure hes a good match for me since I havent read any info about him here.

Good result. Keep up the good work

I'm strongly considering 3 surgeons for my next hair transplant. They are, Couto, Babauc and Yaker from Texas. If anyone here would like to express their feelings about these docs please do. Appreciate it.

Yes thats true. Very good answer! That does seem likely the issue here in addition to the successful hts that are not published which may undercut the number of successes. Excellent response. Never had taken into consideration that the poor quality clinics may dilute the average of successful hts. I'm actually strongly considering Couto, Baubac, H&W and Freitas as prime candidates. I'm just a bit scared because I dont want to end up with a botched ht. But after reading your analogy of baseball batting average where getting only the best hitters with a 300 batting average is the best way to go I think my aforementioned choices are comparable to those heavy hitters.

Hello everyone. This is a subjective question with no precise figure but I'd like to get a ballpark figure as an answer. What do you guys feel is the percentage of successful ht results? By successful I mean a result that isnt a failure and that looks good to the eye. Again, I know the answer isnt accurate but I'd like to base it on your years of observations from what youve seen online or personal experiences. .

Yeah unfortunately this is just one result.

I did see some Freitas results on only europeans excluding middle eastern, italian and greek. Based on what I've found the results were similar to US results. Not much difference.

Hi there. Other than his price and long waiting list, the thing that bothers the living excrement out of me is he hand picks patients which is not fair. That sounds too results-oriented which unfortunately in this case favors the reputation of the doctor at the expense of the satisfaction of the patients. Although I'm gravitated towards him I'm a bit scared about seeing him since he lacks patient reviews.

I need to correct you. Based on what theyre saying on the Spaniard forums couto's main clients are middle easterners and italians. Italians and middle east people have the thickest, coarsest waviest and curliest hair.

Appreciate the reply. Hair thickness based on results seems to be the overwhelming factor of success given the same doctor operating on patients with diverse hair types as its apparent that doctors like couto count on thickness as their main driver of desired outcomes.

Forgot to mention something. Personally I believe doctors like couto produce amazing results because of their acute selection of patients. Based on comments on the spaniard forum the bulk of couto's patients are italian, middle eastern and greek. So of course middle easterners and italians will fare well with better results since their genetics are similar and possess thick, coarse hair. Guys in france, spain, england and germany unfortunately possess thinner hairs whose results I haven't seen on couto's yt vids or website.

I agree. Yes I've noticed couto's work. But other than the problem with his cost, the problem of trying to get a consultation with him is an arduously long process. I dont have the patience to wait 6 years before I get the chance to have him evaluate me. Then another 3 years to have surgery. Thats completely insane.

Been looking at various doctors in USA, canada and Europe. But I'm still a bit leery and cautious about going to one unless they produce consistently good results. Which doctor would you say had produced the most consistently good work?
