I don't know

I do remember not having sides with Topical Dutasteride so maybe

is there any difference in systemic absorption between the liposomal solution and Trichosol solution for topical dutasteride, thank you in advance

would the topical dutasteride or topical CB have fewer libido effects than topical saw palmetto?

This is the opposite is what I've commonly seen recommended, which is to always use your maximum available "scalp donor" before moving onto body hair. 

he cares about his donor doing what is stated is far better than taking out 4000 grafts in one session

ive given my opinion 

in that case still insist for taking 2000 from donor at any one time and the rest body hair if possible, you will get less trauma in one area therefore less scarring and overall damage to your donor

I have talked to quite a few clinics at this point. The general feedback is my donor area is healthy and I should get anywhere from 3500-4500 grafts. I am really worried about over harvesting and (slightly less so, but still worried) about having an unnatural hairline. I am wondering if these risks can be reduced if I opt for fewer grafts with the intention of doing a second procedure in a year. I have the flexibility where doing two procedures would be fine, so if this is a smart way to reduce risk, it might make sense for me to go this path and ease my concerns. 

Is this a sound approach? Will it lower the risk or should I just follow the original suggestion of the clinic? 

maximum 2000 grafts per procedure and from the numbers your giving i can tell your looking at hair mills, always always start small and build up

I have an appointment in Turkey in the End of January, but still waiting for their response concerning Keloid predisposition.

 

Do you have ideas for surgeons that are experts with this? 

 

@mmokin thanks!

Is there someone you who tried these? Or content I could read more about?

i promise you that no one is going to accomodate for your needs in turkey, please go to a surgeon known for donor management if you are worried about scarring

for me in my first surgery i had very bad fue scarring but in my second surgery i had virtually no scarring and it was doing the things i mentioned, i also believe the skill of the surgeon, fewer grafts and smaller punch all make a big difference as well. 

some surgeons inject the donor with kenalog to reduce inflammation and/or use PRP to heal the donor faster so there is less scarring there is a lot of things that can be done but its very hard to say how much they matter

Hi guys,

I did some research in here, but I did not find much about Keloid and FUE.

About me:

In 2013 I had a ear surgery, protruding ears, after one year I developed big Keloids on both ears. Fortunately with several corstion injection and a second surgery they disappeared.

But I was told that perhaps my Skin has an Indication for that and whenever I have surgery I should tell that to the surgeon.

Maybe someone here has experience with that, went through, or spoke with a doctor.

 

Thanks for your comments and help,

 

 

you could get more hypertrophic scarring than normal if i were you i would stock up on scar gel specifically strataderm to last the next 8 months and use it everyday post op, there are other things you could try like tretinoin, dermarolling with machine etc but the key thing is to do it while you are healing otherwise it will be harder to fix.

I would also make sure to use an oral corticosteroid for maybe 1 month or a few weeks post op like prendisone if you can get it prescribed while will also reduce the inflammation reaction to the surgery, trental is also used to limit scarring conditions like peyrnonies im sure it will also help post op but make sure you do it while you are healing

What by chance does it look like? Just white dots everywhere or like raised scars?

Depends alot on the surgery and how you heal but white dots is the best case scenario

Its not just me i had over a dozen people share there hoi experience with me privately in DMs, snapchat etc some just gave up and others had a comeback going to surgeons like diep etc

Alot of people are for some reason fanboys of hoi and will call you out for any critiscm after a while i stopped caring about posting anything more on them and thought that anyone researching well will see my posts and avoid them.

 Btw they work REALLY hard to remove bad reviews, mass flagging them etc.

In fact i only got a refund because of a review

I just saw it on Reddit. Does it have any improvement since then?

No at 12 months you cant expect anything new, im at 6 months right now from the second surgery so will make a post on the result after 2-4 months so i can be close to final result

Just now, exhibito said:

Can you please post your pics of link to them. I'm so sorry to hear that

You can see my profile on this website i honestly dont plan on reposting anymore pictures, you can see my result on reddit also

I don't really have this problem preop. My issue was lowering the front hairline but I will consider it. I wonder if it would help with my donor?

It wont help your donor unless you were actively balding, your donor will look better around month 4 and depending how long you keep your hair wont be an issue

I personally know someone who went there who's hair texture is similar to mine and he got near flawless results. But this was back in 2020.

Can you please post your pictures and how far long you are now?

To be clear mine looks horrible in direct light mostly. I'm also having some weird nerve issue where the scalp feels really sensitive. I don't know if this it normal?

I plan on going to Mwamba in Atlanta to fix it next year if it doesn't recover. When I contact HoI they make it seem like it's completely normal but my gut tells me otherwise. I feel like it's not. 

I getting close to 2 months. Here is another pic from today:

 

I went there early december of 2020 and it was a clear botch, poor growth and bad scarring had 2500 grafts and the next doc i went to said maybe 800 survived max it got me really depressed especially when i had no hair loss and only needed 1-2cm lowering for high hairline.

I had another transplant from an actual surgeon and am at 6 months, i am still not 100% happy with my donor and my recipient might need more work so am looking into stuff like BHT and SMP when i should have been a really easy and straightforward case to work on, i would get emotional thinking about it but now there is little good in me looking back but i still wish nothing but the worst for hoi and anyone affiliated with them

Hair of Istanbul 

I went there too, biggest mistake of my life ive tried really hard to warn others on the internet, as it is not much you can do till 12 months maybe try scar gel if you scar badly which was the case for me and if it fails post a negative review to get a refund then move on to an actual surgeon

Where did you go?

well i am 4 months and have a small patch which is sorta slick bald and it was in an area that was part transplanted and part native so hopefully it grows back in

i have what i suspect to also be shockloss, usually maybe will take 6 months to recover fully as it is a sort of telogen effluvium

2nd session done. One more to go for some spots that need more dots and we are done hopefully for 3 years.

 

how does the coverage look if you grew out your donor hair?

What do you guys think? If you guys had to place bets, would you bet that it's gonna work or that it isn't? Curious to see what the community thinks.

How Can Verteporfin Change The Hair Loss Industry?

the idea it can regrow hair after its been punched out is probably not gonna happen, but it healing with little to no scarring sounds promising

that looks really good for the number of grafts especially

Hi all,

Just wanted to get some opinions on what clinics in Turkey people would recommend. I’ve attached photos to show my hair currently. Have never had a HT before.

I’ve looked around and got quotes from a few.

Hair of Instanbul - £4,000 - My cousin got it done here earlier in the year, they sound like one of the top ones and his results are good. £4,000 is above my budget though.

Alsi Tarcan - £1,800 - have read some good things and not so great things about them. The communication sounds shocking but that doesn’t really bother me as long as the results are good.

IdealofMeD - not quoted yet - These seem professional and we’re asking the origins of my scar and wanting more details than Alsi Tarcan.

Price is a main factor for me. Really can’t afford to go over £2,500. I just want to find somewhere who’ll do a good job for that price.

im thinking FUE is the way to go. Wouldn’t mind DHI either but that’s going to be more expensive.

any recommendations would be welcome.

 

 

 

 

OP you look like you have some kind of scarring on your hairline if you have frontal fibrosis or something dont get a HT it will make your situation worse, could you tell us if you know exactly what that is

I know your career well, since you have the same nick on the recuperarelpelo forum in Spain, and I've been trying to follow your threads for a long time. You had 5 procedures with different doctors before going to Couto.

You opened a thread in 2016 when you went to Couto for the frontal area, it was a small procedure with few grafts and unfortunately we never saw the result, because you did not finish the thread or publish photos, but you commented afterwards that you felt satisfied with the doctor's work, considering that in the same area you had received 5 procedures before, knowing the drawbacks of scar tissue.

Then in 2018 you published another one with Dr. Ozgur in Turkey, the results of which we also didn't hear about.

In December 2019 you published your donor repair procedure with Dr. Mwamba of less than 500 grafts, including some beard grafts.

Another thread from July 2020 in which you proposed to publish your 12 procedures and you did not finish it either.

The truth is that I really want to see the end of your whole story.

I don't think you are a good case to compare your Mwamba result with any other doctor, because the procedure you received with him was a donor repair. So, as you rightly say, your opinion may not be objective, and the comparison is also not reasonable.

why call it a career? are you accusing @mustang of being a shill?

i think the best thing you could do is smp the donor, and are you sure you cant shave the transplant hairline down or maybe do hair removal etc .

joe rogan had multiple hair transplants and seems to have gotten away with it after he went bald

i do have pictures but im not going to share them at this time i will wait a few months and make a post
