  1. day 30 you should not have any scab left unless they are new wound, or you had complications which prevents you from having them all removed at latest end of week 2. the hair coming off are normal, most of transplanted hair needs to come off first before beginning their regrowth. you need to add more pressure on your massaging-removing the scabs, you're most likely just nudging them instead of trying to actively massaging them to remove the scabs.
  2. i think most aren't sure how credible / skillful dr yaman's tech are, since now he has been increasing the quantity of tech and surgery / day compared to back then. then there's the temple issue on several members, with wrong implantation angle. iirc design and incision is usually done by the dr, so this could be an error by the dr himself. one case might be an outlier, but there were repeat, so many members are cowed. especially those who has been vocal in saying dr yaman did great. HT usually needs at least several months to judge their result, and with less people coming up with dr yaman's work, no one can really say how he performs now, other than that there are some mishaps back then which is a blot to his otherwise good rep.
  3. the angle doesn't tell anyone much, pretty hard to say accurately if it's good or not. half half on the clinic issue. one part is that tbh the clinic doesn't matter in hairline drawing, a good drawing design is good, but it's not just about lines. density, angling, line meaning, differs from surgeon to surgeon, the last thing anyone who advised or agreed with you need, is that anyone blaming them when they don't have all the information should things go south. the other part is that if the we know the clnic experience and their prior work, it's pretty easy to be assured if the said designer know what they are doing, EVEN if the drawing seems unorthodox, due to his experience and prior results, in which end up producing natural results.
  4. can try to contact dr demirsoy's agent or FUEcapilars, although they might not have short notice availability unless someone canceled. they do have pretty short queue compared to top docs though, so there's a chance.
  5. No they can flow down. It wont melt and become a sludge, but more like sweats dotted with tons of black powder. You can look up on melvin's video on how he apply a few tools, like dermatch, he even have one way to swim while looking like having full coverage.
  6. he did have a somewhat of finasteride equivalent iirc? xyon, unless i'm wrong. for me it HT comes to the pricing/how affordable it is for YOU, how it ages, and are you fine with bald look, or if you are fine with losing the HT hair down the years. if you life very comfortably financially, and this won't make a dent, i say why not as you're just buying hair for set amount of years (if it even falls). only reason not to is if they will develop hair loss cure (which is unlikely in our lifetime), or it would strain you financially. this is the premise with not taking the meds. if you are able to take the meds tho, despite the possibility of still losing the HT hairs, they are minimalized.
  7. depend really... finas is "more effective" in preventing baldness as it halts or dams the process significantly. meanwhile minox simply thicken your hair, and giving more bloodflow, making it healthier and more likely to "survive". hairs affected will still likely balds though, it just take a while longer. unless you are lucky enough that you're not supposed to bald soon or badly, it's best to take both meds.
  8. uh... i suppose FUEcapilar plan to only fill the front and leave the scalp... probably. as for dr demirsoy, tbh i haven't seen him doing high NW, i also haven't seen many high NW from bicer as well. dr yaman, i have no idea of how well trained his techs are now, and yes a few months ago there was a lot of subpar works. the thing is with your budget there isn't much option... not to mention you being a high NW...
  9. haven't heard bad things about FUEcapilar, and at near dr yaman's rate, the only two i know are rather "safe pick" are FUEcapilar, and dr.demirsoy. the 3 seems to have low queue wait too, which is a plus. not sure about FUEcapilar's lately though since they seem to have an influx after getting 'recommended' on the list
  10. any brand is usually fine, and there is no one stop solution for baldness yet. the meds only holds your hairline as long as you are using it, there hasn't been any solution that let you retain your hair and not use any meds. the closest is a transplant, and chances are you could still lose them if you don't use meds. baldness can start happening to us at an early age, i myself have started shedding heavily and lose hair from 15 as well. his concern might or might not be warranted, but valid nonetheless. hopefully it's just temporary or stress induced instead of MPB, but it's still a possibility.
  11. most likely stress or life factor, or you came into contact with something. had that much shed when i was younger daily, especially after stress periods. There might be some of the transplanted hair falling out but most likely mixed with native, probably more native than transplanted one.
  12. not "strictly", but it is true. apparently anal lining is very absorbent, meaning even if it's hetero but doing anal sex, the risk is the same. thing is that gay men have sex very frequently compared to heteros, and they do it very freely. women are more careful with having sex everywhere, as it can demean them socially (applies to gay men, but less discrimination because many are doing it). not to mention, protection... i found out that gay men have sex without protection somewhat often. couple that with that they literally... f**k around... and tada, tons of HIV occurence. at least with women, protection are more prevalent due to risk of pregnancy, and the natural defense like alpha posted, which helps.
  13. i know, thank you however for clarifying so that the community and more people could understand and stigmatize HIV less. HIV is somewhat of a boogeyman in many country. the problem lies with the people however, such as there is risk of human error on cleaning, or the patient themselves. if the patient doesnt take the med for some time, the viral load can become positive again, and sometime, people lies about their HIV status, due to fear and other reason. this is the human part. is it only horrible if it's compared to hitler and nobody else? i do know the HIV ratio is way skewed on gay men especially, seeing how... profilic they can be in unsafe sex. this is the paragraph why i said what i said. now in hindsight, i might have mistaken what you mean, as the quarantine part if we're just seeing it as quarantine is a vibale and good method of preventing spread of disease etc, which i agree. the problem lies with how the wording is before the quarantine sentence, and that combined with the sentence produce an implication, albeit not explicitly, intended or not. for this, i apologize if i misunderstood your wording. technicalities aside, you get infected for having unprotected sex with someone with a positive viral load. vaginal juice does NOT negate it, but yes it is somewhat acidic that it would kill many microorganism, and it would kill some amount of the virus, but not all which means it helps prevent but it's not that effective. HIV way more prevalent in gay man yes, because gay man seems to have sex way more freely, and what @The comeback king , and not using protection (maybe because they don't get pregnant and think it's fine to do it unprotected... like some people who swears by "pull out technique"). *edit on extrapolation of the vaginal juices... killing HIV
  14. while i understand you're sympathetic to HIV patients, "need to have their clinic closed" is basically doing a cancel culture. even with proper sterilizing, it's a possible risk, either by negligence, or human error. even robots have error margin. i understand what you mean, but as a bussiness, most people would like to minimize the risk, for longevity of the work. there is also the worry of that if they're off meds, the patient themselves would be at risk, not to mention some doctors who doesn't know if the meds would cause complications on the surgery. if you're putting it that way, you'd be the same as the poster above me who simply put every HIV people in one basket, like how he categorize every people who has HIV have sex indiscriminately. heck from the last sentence, he'd want to make a concentration camp for people with HIV.
  15. you're doubling the dose... you might still not be affected by the side effect, but doubling the dose means the chance of the side affecting you is more than double, as this isn't a "basic math" problem. are you stressed or having a different lifestyle for last past month? because it's likely that such shedding are triggered, rather than just occuring. you can up the dose, but i'd say to check if there are any other cause first. there are people who's saying that sometime fin just stopped working... if that is the case, then you should probably switch to dut instead.
