It is such a sad state of affairs that "repair cases" are one of the services being offered by ethical doctors. There should be a law that requires every patient to submit a review with photos of their hair transplants in a public forum so people can expose these unetchical clinics.

This little guys scalp will never see the light of day in his entire lifetime. Lol.

I'm sure a lot of people want this but again, no clinic recommends it, this is actually the first time I've encountered a case like this. Bloxham just seems to be so skilled in his craft, if i were rich he would be on top of my list of handling my hairloss.

So I've been watching a lot of hair transplant media and i came across this video by Bloxham with a patient who has minor side recession. He then proceeded to transplant 3,200 grafts on the guys frontal half, who is in his late 20s. The results looked amazing. His reasoning was if the guy thinned out in the future he would still be happy with the graft transplanted. I rarely see doctors do this, transplant on an area of the hair where there's still reasonable density. Why do you guys think that is? Is it because of their skills? Or experience? Is it on a case by case basis? Permanent shock loss?

Jesus that must've been brutal, and scary from norwood 1 to norwood 6 that fast? Wow.

First of all, i am not an expert, these advices are just based on my own research and they may be terrible advice based on your case but i will still try my best. Okay so, that looks like a good donor density. You could probably focus on your frontal area with about 3 to 3.5k grafts to future proof that area, its still better to listen to what a good doctor recommends, its also important to make it clear to them what your goals are, do you want full density? Mid density where you don't really care if it's that thick? Do you want to focus up on the hairline first or do you want the grafts spread out from front to crown (You have a high chance of losing all that hair at the top since youre young, and you've already lost a lot, but if you could take fin for the rest of your life then it might stay like that for a loong time maybe you won't even progres anymore, I don't really know.) The important thing is to do your research. you could start by checking this website's recommended surgeons, and organizations like the IAHRS. Most importantly look at reviews and results from actual people, you can search for the doctor's name here or other places look at how they build the hairline, do they put a lot of multi grafts in front? If they do, steer clear from those clinics. Go to youtube and search for the hair transplant mentor, or Mr. Rolandas they have some great advices.

Ohh wow, norwood 6 by early 20s? That must have been rough. You're happy now i hope.

This may be the stupidest question in this forum but here it goes. I have seen some babies with different types of hair pattern, ive even seen some norwood 4s 5's and 6's, so I'm just wondering. Has there been studies between the connection of a baby's hair pattern to the adults final hair pattern? Maybe you guys can take a look at your baby pictures and maybe discredit or validate this hypothesis. 😄

I'm leaning more in more to have my transplant with Dr. Path with these kind of patient results, i do hope he's pretty good with diffused thinners as well like me. An update would also be nice. I'm happy for you too, and also jealous. I bet it just does wonders to your confidence to know you have that kind lf hair now.

Your frontal hair looks very thin right not in my opinion for 3.4k grafts. What's your take on this, I'm considering doctor path as well.

That's all good and all but people cannot be dismissive right away when they don't see patient reviews for a certain doctor on any forums. This guy is from thailand, who knows maybe there are Thai written reviews out there that we dont know about and like I said, people in general who are happy with their results don't go around forums to express their happiness. Also, just because he owns a machine doesn't mean he always uses it, maybe he fell for the hype and had money and then bought it but realized it isn't good enough, if you go to his website, he displays that artas and fue as different types of procedures. People cannot also be dismissive of credentials, he's a member of the IAHRS for a reason, JT, the hairtransplant mentor, said that if we are looking for a surgeon, the iahrs and this forum is a great place to start. Also, the list that he's talking about was supposedly made by a guy who's had 13 hair transplants, who's visited every clinic of the people he named there. I agree to not put too much stock in those lists but the Doctor's name coming up in that list, him being a member of the IAHRS and him having a lot of before and after photos on his site is not something to just be dismissive about.

Oh yeah i know the difference, you've got people who post here, who are a small minority, who puts too much stock on their member doctors and are quick to dismiss others who aren't lol, the man is a member of the IAHRS and has many many posted results on his website, but he doesn't have his patients posting here and he has artas so he probably isn't very good. People who've had a successful hair transplant usually don't seek out forums to post their great results, they just move on with their lives.

"Never put all your stock on any list" proceeds then to reference that he searched and valued if he was mentioned in this forum, which has its own lists of doctors.

I was stupid. I was alarmed that i was losing hair but i didn't know anything about it, i thought it was just natural and since nobody else noticed it, I didn't do anything about it, not even a single research. Thank you for the offer and for the reply.

Here are facts about me and my hairloss -I'M 30 years old -Started thinning at about 20 years old but only noticeable to me, only got noticeable to other people at the age of 29 -Father and mother side, no one is completely bald, father is norwood 3 with thin hair when he was 45. - I'm on Propecia and Minoxidil once a day since august. Willing to take it forever. -Hair transplant expectations: full frontal coverage, maybe have a hairstyle with bangs. (Short hair pictures are recent, longer hair pictures are from july to october.)

We need updates.. it's all good though if you don't feel like posting.. . Lol.. you don't owe us anything..

That looks like great work.. 4 to 7 months is the thickening phase according to some people.. anyway congrats, you mind if I ask you if you're Filipino?

We are about the same age and about the same type of hair loss, receding hairline and just diffused thinning all over the top, what people suggested me is go on medication for at least a year and then re evaluate. Sent my pictures with clinics in thailand and india and the Philippines (where I'm from) and, eugenix was the only clinic that kind of rejected me saying I don't need transplant at this point and to just go on medication.. all others quoted me from 1800 to 2.5k grafts... Also, here's more of a personal suggestion, from my experience, just shave it all off while you're doing you're research and medical therapy, being stuck in that middle ground where you're trying to hide the balding is actually the worst place to be in my opinion, and the worst look aesthetically, you will almost always look better bald (shaved) than the receding hairstyle.

So this means that let's say youre a diffused norwood 5. People cant really pull of a long hair after a hair transplant? No matter how many grafts you move?

I think almost every single person on earth loses a certain number of hairs as they age. In your case it's really barely noticeable. But if you have family members that are bald or thin hair then you might want to start on medication now. Finasteride is the big one. You should at least try it for 6 months, i heard the side effects are mainly psychological or sometimes just goes away after a while.

I did post the other thread, I'm not the one on the picture though, these results are from a clinic that I'm looking at. Also, I'm not looking for any particular answers. I'm just looking for answers really, I've given all the details that i could, I've included pre and post op pictures and number of grafts, and all the hypotheticals, and yet most people just gave me a really safe answer. I get that it's complicated, i know that but we are not doctors here (most of us arent), i just want some opinions based on first impressions, and hypotheticals.

Let's just base our analysin on hypotheticals. He wasn't using fibers, he was on medication but probably stopped, he got 3 transplants because he says he was still progressing, he was 29 after the 3 transplants. If let's say the doctor warned him that he might still progress his hairloss and might need another surgery, would you say the doctor acted ethically? Also mainly i just wanted to get you guys opinion if the remaining transplanted hair looked like 2k to 2.5k grafts. He only had work done on his hairline and midscalp

Can you help me analyze who was at fault here? This guy had a 3 small FUE procedures totalling about 2 to 2.5k grafts, the first picture was his before (any procedures) and after.. now the the next 2 pictures are what his hair looks like now, it obviously thinned out, would you say this is the patients fault for maybe not taking medication ( I don't know for sure but it might be his balding has progressed) or the clinic for not doing a great job, but still even if it thinned out, those results doesn't look like 2k grafts to me.

I wanna thank you for all your concern but I'm not doing anything at the moment, im just doing some research. I just want to know if the clinic that im looking at knows what they're doing when it comes to just the hairline design.
