  1. weird timing, was watching joe rogan yesterday discussing TRT and wondering what it would do to both native and transplanted hair. I'm nowhere near his age, but sounds interesting for middle aged/older guys.
  2. I feel that this is the type of discrete SMP that works really well. Aside from on darker skin, I've not seen a good case in person of hairline/mid-scalp SMP and very few online.
  3. I'm very sceptical. The highest profile (allegedly) smp/ht proponent over here is andros townsend, a footballer. Looks very odd up close, almost a double hairline. Overall he looks a million times better than when significantly balding.
  4. Dr B seems to have very fast growers/relatively low shedding post HT (I'd include myself). I'm guessing this is due to the amount of time the graft spends outside of the body. I was a little zoned out from the valium, but from what I recall, the majority of the grafts were left in the donor post punching, prior to transfer to recipient.
  5. not only 'repair cases', also physician referrals as opposed to just cosmetic.
  6. Dr Bisanga took almost all of my circa 2k grafts from one side. No idea if this is normal practice. I seem to recall him saying that it would leave the other side 'virgin' for the next procedure, if necessary.
  7. both very good. Dr B may be slightly more aggressive in terms of hairline/density? Little in it.
  8. and just to keep things on topic, 80% is the customary SMP tip.
  9. I've seen some great SMP results online, but, without fail, every single one I've seen in real life has been unnatural and horrific. edit: except on black guys
  10. just looks like dried blood or a scab. can you not soften the skin and wash it off?
  11. if only someone did an interview yesterday and mentioned taking FUT strips higher than is usually seen 😉
  12. best in the UK from what I've seen, particularly in regard to hairline density/relative aggression in comparison to others here.
  13. I had far less extensive and 'shallower' hair loss/miniaturisation and had just over 2k grafts solely in and just behind the hairline. I think yours looks as if it's moving towards the midscalp, along with temple recession. The closing of the proposed transplanted area looks pretty high on the lateral hump in your first pic, too? I used to go to the gym with a guy who'd had a (poor quality, old school plug) transplant and the top was completely disconnected from the sides. others are likely to know more/may disagree, but wouldn't be surprised if this required circa 3k grafts to achieve desired density.
  14. looks great! I'm at 3.5 months and don't want to tempt fate, but growing well. Will hopefully be around this kind of position in a month's time.
  15. 2,000 for me (vast majority from right of centre, though)
  16. Fair point and very sensible, but why does Dr. Reddy insist on taking it post transplant? Shock loss should only be temporary, regardless.
  17. Really doesn't bother me. I go to a half quite high on a fade and even if people were to notice, it wouldn't concern me at all. I don't think there's any/much stigma attached to HT's anymore, so just own it. I can safely say I have never looked closely at the back/sides of friends heads, so it's pretty unlikely anyone will yours.
  18. (scars visible if you know what to look for)
