Why I got rejected by 3 top tier clinics
Fue3361 replied to iKelia's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Your case is much easier than mine. Temples are the hardest part and the part that can make it look the most unnatural. I think you don't need a transplant and that it looks good already. But you're 32, and you know what you want better than I do. People told me I didn't need one, and I still got one. You'd need fewer grafts than me, I used 3.3k I'm sure you can pull off a great look with under 2500. But I don't think under 2k grafts would work, because you really want it to be very dense, otherwise it will look off. An aggressive, lower hairline, requires high density. It just is what it is.- 62 replies

Future Recommendations
Fue3361 replied to HairEnthusiast101's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Yeah. From my understanding, Dr. Leal is so booked (like 2-3+ years) that he's not taking on any new clients, and only accepts old clients (for touchups/future surgeries) or friends of previous clients. He's currently opening sister clinics with all surgeons he's personally trained to what he considers his standard. Has 1 clinic already open, with another in the works. -
Has your transplanted hair thinned over time?
Fue3361 replied to jwolfe890's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Thought experiment. The donor area thins over time. My personal easy conclusion: Hair transplant will thin over time most likely at least the same rate as donor does, especially if not on meds. -
Any elite surgeons will do a good job of adding density. Adding density is more difficult and more dangerous because it has the potential to mess up existing hairs in that area. But overall, when it comes to adding density to an easy case such as your own, just get the best doctor you can afford. There's no "specialization" for adding density. It's literally a part of every surgery (when transplanting into the transition zone of recipient and existing hair).

Oh yeah, you can expect a lot of improvement in the next few months.

Widows Peak in Hairline Design
Fue3361 replied to sunsurfhair's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I think it looks good. But also, I think it looks meh if the density is on the lower end. Usually the peak itself naturally tends to be somewhat dense in people. I think this guys has a good peak done (that’s his 6 month mark): -
Is a hair transplant for me? (Pics included)
Fue3361 replied to beak's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Do you want to wear your hair long, or do you like the buzz cut? If you like the Buzz cut, personally, I'd not get a hair transplant. But yeah, if you want it long, there are doctors that can do very good work. But due to the very low dip of your crown, you should be very careful with your donor management, so make sure the Dr. you choose is a highly skilled one that will not waste grafts. -
Alternatives to Dr. Konior?
Fue3361 replied to omgcorey's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
20-30k is an excellent budget for the amount that you need. You can pretty much do it with any doctor you choose. One thing to consider is that you have very thick hair, so you'll probably want someone capable of dense packing it well, otherwise it will stick out like a sore thumb. Problem is, most good surgeons, they literally all have super long waiting lists if they're doing 1 patient a day. H&W do lots of surgeries, so I wouldn't be surprised if they had an earlier opening. IDK, if I wanted it done soon, I'd go with H&W. Are they the absolute best money can buy? Nope, but they're still well up there. And the absolute best money can buy will probably have 2-3 year waiting list. -
Temporal peaks design
Fue3361 replied to NegativeNorwood's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I put a drop on each eyebrow and rubbed it in well. And I just remembered! I micro-needled them occasionally too! But that was painful! -
Temporal peaks design
Fue3361 replied to NegativeNorwood's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I had to stop because my eyebrows blew up. Here look at before/after: And that’s 6 months of I think twice a day. I had to stop due to too much growth for my taste. -
Temporal peaks design
Fue3361 replied to NegativeNorwood's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Consider a small drop of minoxidil on your eyebrows every day. Within 6 months they can double+ in density. It’s insanely easy and effective. -
Temporal peaks design
Fue3361 replied to NegativeNorwood's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Dr. Thiago prefers to do the temporal points the way he did them on me. I think it is a personal preference for surgeons. Most temporal points I've seen him do are more similar to mine. I actually like the more angular look. Not necessarily for my case, but for many others. It's a cheaper way (cheaper in terms of graft number) to narrow the forehead than when done more vertically like mine. -

Redness pitting cobblestone after 3 transplants
Fue3361 replied to Redhead's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Even if they don't have much experience with hair transplants, they should have experience with bodyhair and facial hair, and how that effects skin pigmentation treatment. I'd be shocked if they never ran into someone with pigmentation problems around the beard area. So I doubt a HT would be a big factor when discussing treatment options. Just find someone that works with aesthetic problems. -
Redness pitting cobblestone after 3 transplants
Fue3361 replied to Redhead's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I think I read somewhere a long time ago that if you continuously shave the area, you slowly file down the skin height back to normal height over the months. But not sure if this is true or not. -
Redness pitting cobblestone after 3 transplants
Fue3361 replied to Redhead's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Hm, I’d say the density is solid. Cobblestoning is quite hard to see as well. I could see the redness making you uncomfortable though. I think maybe your best bet is seeing a good dermatologist? There are lasers that are designed just for correcting pigmentation issues. This might be easy to deal with, but I’m just guessing here.
