So I don't understand this.   Why take fin and min when basically all the hair you have is DHT resistant?

During the growth process it helps the growth, also there are no guarantees that all the hair is DHT resistant, some % could still be lost as it would have naturally, this way I try to help as much as possible to keep even the that %.

I understand what you mean, that's how everyone feels when stumbling upon Dr Zarev but I've reviewed all his cases (publicly available) and the little blood post-op and the quick regrowth (at M+5) happen every single time !! 

For me he is the best, period !! No cap haha 

This was the growth after 3 months from first 7k grafts. 

And one picture from day after surgery flying home from first session , don't think I have shared it before, no bandages, no bleeding, I had some... (Don't know the correct word for it) oozing from some areas but that stopped when I landed.

Really wow I will contact him, does his donor areas always look this good?

FYI, I think I have mentioned this somewhere in in the thread , but after surgery Dr Zarev does not use bandages, at all. There is need.

Does Dr. Z use some magical serum or something? lol like it is crazy you had no bleeding and grew so quickly. Maybe you are just a rare case but his approach seems universal atleast.

I don't think I am anything out of the ordinary from Dr Zarevs patients, from what I have seen, pictures from his Web page, Instagram and pictures that he showed me that are not available online there were no bleeding when looking at imidiate post up pictures.

Insane man 10,000 wow. Has the scarring looked bad?

You tell me, I have a lot of pictures in my thread, does it look like my donor is ruined? 

Of course donor is more thinned out compared to before any surgery, but it's done in a way that it doesn't show and if I were to shave my donor to zero obviously you would see the effect of 10000+ grafts missing.

You got 7k grafts from head? I thought most donor sites could only handle 5-6k max?

First session was 7070 grafts, second was 3613 grafts, so a total of 10 683 grafts all from head. 

Everybody have different donor capacity, but important thing is that you choose a doctor that can manage your donor and extract maximum without leaving you botched. 

I also have around 1500 grafts for the future all still head. 

I like how you comb the air in the before video 😂, great result

Absolutely incredible. I also love that all angles were shown -- really tired of seeing result which lack pictures of the crown/donor. Huge congrats -- 100% the best transplant I've seen this year. Cheers! 

Thanks, Dr Zarev himself takes pictures from all angles and shows all angles, unlike many clinic's that either don't have all angles or before pictures are with flash and after without flash . And I try taking all my pictures same way that Dr Zarev does, all angles and with flash.

Is there a way to be placed on his waiting list? Even if it s 2 years from now .

There is a waiting list, but first you need to have done a consultation with him, now getting a consultation is another story 😅. Have you sent in a inquiry? You can PM me (if you have sent him an inquiry already) your name and email and I can try to get him to have a look, I am contacting him next week, time for 6 months update 💪🏻

 it's only to rebuild the hairline/reinforce the temples though, could I get the same result for less at a clinic in Turkey? 

It's not "only" your hair line, that's the most important part, front area is were if something goes bad is visible to yourself and others around you. You will be reminded every time you look in the mirror, good or bad.

What do you want to change the title to?

Dr. Zarev 7070 + 3613 grafts ,

Thanks 🙌, but also curious why we cant change the title ourselves 🤔

Does anyone know if you can change your threads title by yourself? I can not find an option for this atleast. Is it only moderator that can do this, and why is that by the way, shouldn’t the thread creator be able to change their threads title?

Depends on your pain tolerance I think, I have (in my opinion) a high pain tolerance, but first ones hurt more, then you get more numb and get more used to it, but it certainly is not enjoyable 😅, so maybe 7/8 out of 10 in the beginning and then you get more numb and goes down, but as I said, it depends on how you tolerate the pain.

Great results! just have a few questions:

 

-How did you get a consultation? Their ‘contact from’ on the website goes to an error page.

-How long did it take for them to get back to you after initial contact?

-How painful was the anaesthetic?

 

I got a response pretty fast, couple of days, I filled out the the form on the website, I think they are updating or changing the contact form. But unfortunately Dr Zarev is struggling to get back to inquiries right now, hopefully this changes after moving in new clinic which is delayed, was supposed to be January I think. 

The anaesthetic.. It's painful, the couple first stings/hurts, it's difficult to describe its, maybe closest is when you get anaesthetic when you go to a dentist..., but Dr Zarev talks to you all the time and asks you how you feel.

The game has changed. Awesome result, Hugo. Temples look just as thick as pre-first procedure. Can you tell much of a difference between the recipient area between first and second procedure in terms of thickness? May be too soon to tell. 
 

My scheduled procedure with Dr Z can’t come fast enough. 

Well, it is for me (who looks in the mirror every day 😅) a bit more difficult to se the visual changes that I could see from first session, but I was bald before first session so the changes were obvious, now I think I can feel the thickness more. And also when I see myself in pictures I am able to see changes more visually... If thats makes sense.

So for donor scarring.  If you compare Zarev post op scarring vs Diep for example.....for Zarev you can't even see the FUE dot scars whereas for other surgeons you can clearly tell they are there.  What is it about his extraction technique that allows for this ?  

 

One example is if you look at Mr.  Rolandas on YouTube he had a video where he shaved his sides and you can see FUE dot scarring everywhere. But I feel like for Zarev this does not happen.   Does Zarev use a smaller punch size?

I think the type of skin and how it heals is important, I think Rolandas has mentioned that he has the type of skin that scars easily and does not heal as well as some.
