This is just crazy. So happy for you, Hugo. I usually am fine waiting for my time with Dr. Zarev. Days and weeks go by and I don't even think about it and then I get an alert that Hugo has posted and I start getting antsy for my surgery date! ha. January can't come fast enough.

Thank you bro, let us hope for a cancelation for you 😅

And another miracle by Zarev... or should I say another classic day has passed as it is a routine for him haha ! When I found out about him months and months ago I couldn't believe it but his approach is really original and a bit demanding but he is a true gift and professional.

So conclusion Hugo, satisfied finally or you want some more haha ? How do you feel when rubbing your hair with your hand ? 

I am literally touching, rubbing and playing with my hair every 5 minute 😂, satisfied is the least you could say, it is a dream come true.

Really happy for you @HugoX…

I can relate to how you must be feeling ……( and the hairgreed 😊)

Likewise mate, and yes, the hairgreed is a struggle 😅

going to zarev next year for consult

i have mch worse donor than you though but not as much hair loss yet

im hopeful i can get a good result. im certaintly not expecting anything like hugos though

I'm sure Dr Zarev will be able to do what is maximum achiveble with your donor and hair loss, his consultations are very thorough and detailed and I am sure he will show you results from others with similar type of hair loss like yours for comparison.

Wow! Actually speechless! There is a zero inclination of baldness now. Dr Zarev has rebuilt you from the ground up! The donor management by Dr Zarev to get results like this is just a whole other level! 

Best of luck Hugo, must be such a nice a feeling to wake up without the the cloud of baldness hanging over you! 

Thank you for the kind words, I do have to pinch myself sometimes and look at old pictures to remind myself were I was.

@HugoXcongrats! Absolutely remarkable how it turned out! FUE and it's upper limits is now forever changed. Thanks for sharing your story so others now know what's possible.

Thanks bud, if my journey can help just one person who suffers from hair loss and see what possibilities there are I am happy with just that.

@HugoX can I share your thread on YouTube? I want to make a video about whether FUT is still the best for advanced Norwoods. I want to include you as a case study. Is that okay?

Sure mate, no problem 👍, hopefully it helps others in my situation 

Here is a better summarization of approximately 1.5 years after 2 surgeries.

Ow my Dear Lord this is literally the best result I have ever  EVER  EVER seen. 

This is like finally  seeing the light of God. 

At first, Zarev looked to me like he was too good to be true...I was thinking his results must be a ton of hair fibers or a wig...

But honestly he keeps impressing me every time...

Listen Hugo, your result is better than the best result I have ever seen from Dr. Umar Sanusi that many considered the best in the old days,  Eugenix, Konior or Hasson & Wong...

I don't know what to say except Zarev might well be the GOAT of hair transplantation. 

Following the Holy Gospel of our Prophet and absolute GOAT Kevin Mann and getting your surgery performed by Dr. Zarev may well be the Ultimate Redemption from the evolutionnary curse in permanent Male Pattern Baldness aka  ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA. 

Congrats champ. Your case gives me hope and faith in Humanity. 🙏

That's one way to summarize it 😅👏, but this type of results is normal for Dr Zarev, so I am nothing out of the ordinary as a Dr Zarev patient. 

But yes, it is incredible, I would never imagine this result even though Dr Zarev said that he will achieve this first day we met.

Couldn't be happier for you.. hang this in the Louvre 

Thanks bro, Next to Mona Lisa 🤔, I send in a application 😅

Wanted to try a really short hair style on the sides for the summer and to also see how donor would look like after over 10k grafts.

I was looking back at photos from my wedding, and I can’t believe how receded my temple points were, it’s like they were chopped off. What a difference today, only wish I had these at my wedding.  C’est la vie. 
 

Photoshop them on wedding photos? 😅

Dr Zarev is a pioneer there is simply no one like him WOW I just came across this today. Congrats Hugo I am SPEECHLESS

P.S. I tried to get a consultation with him a few weeks ago, they have a number on their website now, earliest date was October 2023.

Thanks, it sure has been life changing. 

Great info about the phone number but long waiting time it seems 😓.

Very happy for you.

For me without a doubt this result is among the top 5 all time patient posted results within this forum and you still have another 6 months to go. 

I just can't imagine what else will happened the next 5-6 month, feels like I am ahead result wise but I guess more maturing and strengthening

One of the best results I've ever seen.   You're just a guy with a strong NW 2 head of hair now.  Amazing.

Also the transition from wearing a hair piece to this has been so smooth, no one has been able to "see" it, the pandemic gave me the time to do this transition.

Anybody who doesn't mind spending $35,000 - $50,000 for a procedure, are in safe hands with this doctor. His results are magical

Which is still less than what top doctors in US charge where they do 6-8 $/grafts 

6 months after second session and a reminder picture to pinch myself 

I think I had great growth after my 7070 grafts first session, a lot started to happen after month 3/4.

Just saw that Matt Dominance who has a hair loss YouTube channel has had an "interview" with Dr Zarev, or rather it's not a direct interview, more like he got replies to some questions from Dr Zarev that might me interesting for some.

We are truly sorry to hear that you have had to go through this experience. We value you and it pains us to know that you have the issues as mentioned.

There are certain points we would like to keep:

1. The direction of the transplanted hair on the temples are purposely kept down and back so that the area behind the temple points do not look bald.

2. The transplanted temple hair are thicker than the natural temple hair.

3. The natural temple hair have more vellum and baby hair whereas the transplanted temples do not.

4. The transplanted temples are 70% to 80% close to natural hair.

5. The absence of the pre existing hair in your te.ples due to baldness has also contributed to the look that has now dissatisfied you so.

6. The donor area will exhibit the absence of the extracted hair if you keep your hair very short.

However, we would request you to get in touch with us and tell us what you would want further. We would be very grateful and more than happy to comply. We wish you the best!

Is this an explanation on what could go wrong or what did go wrong? is my interpretation of this explanation correct that it is the OP fault for not knowing the points that are mentioned before hand?

like point nr 5, "The absence of the pre existing hair in your te.ples due to baldness has also contributed to the look that has now dissatisfied you so".

He was bald there before surgery, wouldn't you tell him this before surgery, oh just so you know, you are bald in this area and there is a chance it could look weird FYI.

6. "The donor area will exhibit the absence of the extracted hair if you keep your hair very short."

sure, but not for 1400 grafts and when OP have this much donor hair, this looks like any hair mills in Turkey. For 1400 grafts there should be basically no signs at all.

Maybe what @digi23 did with electrolysis is an option, just remove them.

Lmao its an Indian film called Pudhupettai

Alright guys, gonna find this movie, take before watching and after watching movie pictures, let's see how many grafts survives 😰

I'm more interested in the movie you watched and what scene it was? 😱

So many factors that matters, but I did over 7000 grafts over 2 days with Dr Zarev, and it is not unusual that Dr Zarev can do around 7-8k grafts over 2 days.

Of course you have to have the donor capacity for this and a Dr that knows donor management and is experienced with this type of larger sessions.
