HairRun

@BoulderBalder I would love to learn about the relocation process. Was there any scarring from your hairline?

From consulting with a few physicians, I've come to the conclusion to relocate grafts from my corners from a previous transplants as it's probably the best path due to them being poorly placed. I got an assessment from one who said that it may be a multiple step process, but hopefully it could be done in one. I am a bit concerned as I scar easy, and very curious about how the process may play out. I saw one hairline relocation use stitching to relocate the grafts. It seems that this was possible as there was a linear row area where grafts were relocated, but I am not knowledgeable in this area. If I had more of a patch that needs to be relocated, would that contribute to a multi step process as only a few rows could be relocated at a time? There are also products and procedures I've seen that may help reduce scarring. PRP, Acell, Hyaluronidase, and hyalorunic acid. Does anyone have any thoughts on these?

I am looking at my schedule and I won't be able to make it 4pm PST July 6th, would appreciate if someone else can bring up Verteporfin.

Somewhat off topic, but any interest in asking about Verteporfin ? I feel that since H&W have pioneered so much, not only surgical techniques but medications as well, they might be the best to pioneer use for this. There's the potential for graft regeneration which gets the most attention here, but I am mainly interested in scar reduction. Would be huge for those who need to relocate grafts from botched transplants, especially around the hairline.

Dr. Timothy Carman, I tried to scout him in the past but there isn't a lot of recent reviews A long these lines, these people as well. Dr. Robert Haber Dr. Bernard Nusbaum Dr. Vladimir Panine Dr. Paul Rose Dr. Mike Vories Wait times for top docs are bigger than ever, some up to 2 years. For anyone else who are high quality, a podcast may have assess that, and there's plenty of demand to go around to those people.

You mean relocation? Grafts should be relocated somewhere else.

Im going through the search, and all of the reviews have pictures https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/search/?&q=mwamba&type=forums_topic&quick=1&search_and_or=or&search_in=titles&sortby=relevancy Maybe there's something blocking images showing up in your browser. Can you give an example of someone posting a review without a pictures?

The reviews all have pictures here no? What type of repair are you doing? Relocating grafts ?

Very interesting, anyone know off the top of their head which doctors think which?

I always assumed that meant survival of grafts, but from some of the language I've read recently, it sounds like it means number of grafts that can be implanted from a donor area to recipient area.

" Maximizing your lifetime grafts; Does FUT still have higher yield than FUE? I thought that wasn't the case with improved techniques.

Relocating thousands of grafts is a lot. I'm in a similar situation, but only 400 needs to be relocated, though due to poor yield (I had 1360 grafts implanted supposedly), I wish I was more in your situation. Honestly, it doesn't look bad to me. I would contact the top surgeons and ask how they would handle this instead of automatically going to relocating all of them. Perhaps relocating just the front ones.

What might be helpful is to show what hairlines were proposed by each.

Sounds like Hassan did two sessions that day? 7300 total? If anyone who could pull that off though it's that center, I saw that Dr Konior said they're are best for mega sessions, and I saw that they have a large number of technicians.

I'm following with great curiosity as I am also needing to get a repair from a procedure I got from diep, for similar reasons. " I withhold from further procedures for 2-3 years to prevent permanent scarring in my frontal area" Having grafts implanted and extracted too soon would cause scarring? "Both of them agreed that my scar may have compromised my donor availability because my FUT scar is almost like an inch wide." Does this mean your donor area is over harvested? And that's why only one more procedure in your lifetime? I have a similar wide scar. ". Pinto told me that they wouldn't operate on my crown at the moment as it would cause shock loss" I was wondering about this. Is this due to your crown not having that much loss yet?

Thanks, I also see the exclusive list here https://hairlosslearningcenter.net/coalition-physicians I should probably get a consult with Timothy Carman since he's on the list. I tried looking for some of his recent work but there doesn't seem to be any on here

What is an "Elite Coalition Member"? How are they selected? I didn't see any info about it on the page, just which Drs have it.

From going through this forum, Dr Cooley has a number of very positive repair results. I also remember reading a pretty positive result from Dr. Bisanga regarding a repair. As for detail work, Dr Gabel has trained under Dr Konior so he might have a similar style to Konior. Dr Nadimi as well, I read in another comment she also uses the same hair technicians as dr Konior.

So exactly the same hair technicians? That's huge.

I would imagine any of the top docs who are open to doing high density could achieve these results no? Konior, Hassan/Wong, etc? What would be hard to replicate?

If Hassan and Wong are split up, it's still like 10 techs per person. Probably not all of them are there for each one, but I heard they're the best or large sessions and I guess this is why. Also the large number allows for lots of volume. Hassan and Wong seem like they're more on the average side when it comes the higher tier of surgeons, actually cheaper if you go over 2000 as the price per grafts drops and you get reimbursed for air and hotel. Seems like they have a pass value to the customer sort of thing going on. I think Konior and some of the LA / NYC surgeons probably cost the most.

https://hassonandwong.com/surgical-team/ Wow, I always imagined there's at most 2, maybe 3, since there's not much space to work around a patient. I guess the rest prep the grafts.
