But they're not making an opening in advance correct? To me its a better looking method and its certainly a cleaner method. Probably no big effect on outcome I suppose.

I'm a rookie but if you got to about 4:30 on this youtube video it appears the implant and opening are simultaneous. Much cleaner with almost no bleeding. Maybe I'm not seeing things right here. Zera

Just watched one of his surgeries on youtube. Really remarkable. So his implantation device is done without cutting slits? Is that DHT? Love how clean things were after the surgery. Thanks for the recommendations.

That’s what I’m trying to figure out. So many young people on here trying to stay young and I get that. Not looking for that. I’d certainly give up a lower hairline for broad coverage even with the crown having mild coverage. Just deciding whether to be bald or not lol. Options that weren’t really realistic 15 years ago are available.

I tend to agree with this. I'm not looking for a 30-40yo hairline. Something that fits my age and gives me something to comb lol. I've buzzed in the past and it works but wasn't my favorite look. And its just as much trouble as having hair if not more. Thanks for the reply.

So did a virtual consult with Dr. Nadimi at the Chicago Hair Institute. Not encouraging but I think she's just being honest. I don't see myself going back for a second sitting at my age and starting to wonder if may not be a good idea. I'd love to have hair but don't want to make matters worse if I'm a borderline candidate. Going to get a few more consults and see if I hear consistent messages from the clinics. The photos you sent show an advanced hair loss pattern. Your final coverage and density will be limited by donor graft availability since your balding zone is too large to provide full coverage with thick hair in a single session. Based on the limitations of donor supply I typically recommend that an initial session for men with advanced hair loss patterns focus on the frontal and midscalp regions. These regions are most important to the overall cosmetic result and an initial session that recreates the hairline and provides coverage over the midscalp will allow the best use of your limited donor supply. A crown restoration can be done at a later date should you desire coverage there and should your donor supply allow for a second graft harvest. I believe that you will need at least 2500-3000 grafts to produce a good frontal/midscalp restoration. It may be possible to perform even more grafts during the restoration session, but your donor area will have to be inspected in person to assess your graft availability.

I like it. Its a natural look and age appropriate. I'd call it good and enjoy.

I'm not that concerned but the misses has reservations. I'd likely be traveling alone. Appreciate the input.

Question of those traveling to India....were you comfortable (feeling safe) during your stay. I've brought the idea to my wife and she is ok with everything except the travel to India. I know nothing about the surrounding, etc. but it seems from all the testimonies safety wasn't a concern or at least was not brought up. I'm am going to consult with a few more doctors and make a plan.

Considering this clinic more and more. Appreciate video and the opportunity to see and hear them somewhat in person.

I get the anxiety but honestly you did the right thing by fighting through it and not doing anything rash. It looks like good progress and I think the hairline looks pretty good. It will only get better and if you need something else done in the future it will be a good foundation.

So I'm beginning to think about US-Midwest locations. I see several MD's listed on the site from Chicago/Minnesota/Texas. If a guy wanted to stay close to home is there a clinic recommendation for my type of hair loss? Many of the US before and after seem to be multiple sessions with smaller graft numbers. Compared to Eugenix, for example, what could someone expect to pay in the states? Is it double? 4x? more expensive?

Interesting. Lots of learning to do and things to consider. And I guess by 'on its way out' meaning hear that was destined to fall. My hair really hasn't changed much for a while now. I am going to start Fin and Min this weekend.

Is shock loss to existing hair permanent?

Got this from Eugenix....looks the 2700 is actually planned for frontal and mid, with 1500 to the crown.
