THE TRUTH

Yes. There is a lack of independant reviews from Zarev. We need to see more

By the time Couto reopens consultations we'll all probably be Norwood 7 with the toilet seat

Back in the day, Dr. Umar and Hasson & Wong were probably considered the best in the world for Norwood 7. Today Zarev followed by Sethi. Pitella is also close. Zarev is probably the best (at least based on available results...)

If the scabs have fallen off and the redness/irritation has subsided then I think using minoxidil is okay and should not endanger the process. Some doctors allow their patients to use it as early as 10-14 days after surgery.

Yeah please post some pics. What is your budget ?

I checked your threads. The result of your first transplant with Rahal was really good whereas the second one was poor... I think you can't go wrong with Freitas or Konior. They are both amongst the top 10 in the world in my opinion. Both are excellent. Who's better ? Pfff man I really don't know... 50/50. Freitas is probably slightly better for hairline artistry whereas Konior is better for providing more coverage with less grafts. It really depends on your budget and how much your are willing to spend on your procedure. Konior is extremely expensive but if you can afford it then go for it. I think Konior can close the bald spot on your crown much much better than Rahal. That's for sure.

Were you on finasteride or dutasteride between 2007 and now ?

You were lucky. Cinik is a notorious hairmill. He has some excellent results but also some really really bad ones... Cinik is a total lottery. There are no other surgeons that I would recommend in that price range. I would go with Bicer, Demirsoy or FUECAPILAR if you want someone decent.

Are you on oral Finasteride/Dutasteride ? Bisanga is good for beard to scalp.

On this picture it looks excellent. Looks like full head of hair. I was a bit skeptical about him at first singe he is the new guy but I gotta say he did an outstanding job and gave you full coverage on the crown. Muresanu also did a good job on the frontal third. But yeah I agree transplants can be tricky bro. They are just 50% native density that's why they sometimes look thin under harsh lighting... What was the density per cm2 specifically during first surgery and during second ?

Yeah SMP is a great option ! Troonen does good work. Will you go back to Bekir for a 3rd round to fill in the midscalp ?

Medication like oral Dutasteride and minoxidil will buy you a LOT of time don't worry. It will certainly stop further miniaturization and MAYBE thicken up some miniaturized hairs. I am 99% sure that you will not lose any hair at all for at least a good decade or so. Probably even more. And even if you start thinning again, it'll not just happen overnight. It would take years to notice a deterioration in hair miniaturization on such a strong stack. I suggest you check MorePlatesMoreDates, Haircafé, Dr. Oscar Muñoz, Hairloss Show. They have plenty of information regarding the long term efficacy of hairloss drugs. Oral Finasteride & topical minoxidil 5% mixed with tretinoin is the basic combo. Sufficient for most men to maintain a good decade. Unless your hairloss is really agressive or you use steroids. Dutasteride + oral minoxidil + RU58841/Eucapil/CB0301= upgraded version. The strongest anti androgenic combo you can use without risking sides. Derek's nuclear protocol = Estrogen 10mg, spironolactone 200mg, bicalutamide, cyproterone acetate, castration, lupron etc... They are many guys who regrow hair on these drugs and get better results than 80% of hair transplants on this forum. Check out Transtimelines. These are the best drugs for totally stopping and often significantly reversing Male Pattern Baldness but these do come with A LOT of sides...🔥🔥😅😅 Ultimately I'd just stay on Dutasteride 0.5mf daily and minoxidil. And I'm sure you will be perfectly fine.

That's a fair price. yeah I totally understand bruh. That shockloss was really unfortunate... I guess Dr. Sever took the strip, performed the incisions and then nurses did the implantation ? Also what did Cengiz & Bekir say 'bout the scar ?

Bicer

Bro how much did Sever charge per graft for your FUT ? 3.45€ ?

Most doctors prescribe oral minoxidil and believe it's safe. Dr. Sergio Vaño and Dr. Oscar Muñoz swear by it. Freitas and Pinto also prefer oral minoxidil. I know Bisanga, Shapiro, Russell Knudsen, Mwamba, Bhatti also commonly prescribe it in.their practice. On the other hand, Kevin Mann (who used oral minoxidil back in the day) made a series a videos about oral minoxidil and concluded it's not safe. I believe oral minoxidil is no joke. Better than the topical for sure since it skips the sulfotransferase issue, but it should be monitored under medical supervision. It's a good drug but not everyone is a candidate for it. Btw how much estradiol do you take Jan ? I wish you a rapid recovery

1. I wouldn't try to go beyond 2000 grafts for your first procedure. Your lifetime graft supply during is limited. Transplants can fail and grafts can be wasted. 2. 4000£ is not nearly enough to get decent results unfortunately. You will have to save up to afford a better clinic. You don't wanna risk a turkish hairmill or a bad clinic in the UK. 3. Stop completely till you're 60. Probably no. Slow down significantly to the point that you keep a decent hair of hair ? Probably yes. It'll depend on your genetics and sensiticity of your follicles to DHT. Some people may need to add additionnal agent or stronger pharmaceuticals at some point. For others, Finasteride is generally sufficient for maintenance 4. If you want a good clinic then 6 months to a year. "Full head of hair" is mathematically impossible...We don't have hair cloning. Transplants are an illusion of density. They are 50% of your native hair density. Your graft supply limited and you have to take into account the need for additionnal surgeries in the future. You should manage your expectations.

Lmfao Dutasteride is not nearly as bad as you describe it. But anyways. Fair enough if you don't want to use these medications then don't use them.Just stay on finasteride and hopefully that will be sufficient to slow down your hairloss significantly. Just remember that any experienced memeber will tell you that surgery is always last resort. 25 is still very young to get a hair transplant. You should do your research very diligently, have "realistic expectations" and understand the limitations and lifelong consequences of hair transplant at such an early age. Transplants are a risk. Spend time on this forum and research... It's an extremely long process. Both financially, physically and emotionally. The "one and done" thing is a myth. The "just shave it bro" after failed transplant doesn' work. I'm not saying you shouldn't get a transplant but you should carefully consider all aspects and possibilities (long term donor capacity, risk of failure, 2nd procedure required, cost, commitment to finasteride, choosing a great doctor etc etc....) Good luck

Sadly bro he is hairmill. Message me in private

I suggest your browse through the forum. A hair transplant is a huge deal and it can destroy your life. Even the best doctors have bad results. You can't just shave your head if it fails because of the scarring that will occur even with FUE. I suggest you rather upgrade to Dutasteride, oral minoxidil, topical anti androgens and "throw a kitchen sink" at it and give a good 6 months. Surgery is a risky gamble. It should always be last resort. The risk of failure us high while the number of available grafts is limited as you know. Otherwise if the meds don't work then look into Freitas, Pinto, Bisanga. They are the best for hairlines specifically. Or HDC Cyprus, Ximena, Bicer, Fuecapilar for decent budget options.

Dead serious bro. He himself used to be an excellent surgeon but he's chosen quantity over quality. Never seen a lot of independant reviews from him to be honest. Only his own videos on youtube. I think Freitas, Couto, Pinto, Ferreira, Ximena are better options than Lorenzo. At least for the moment. That said, he does have some amazing results and repairs on his youtube but 5$ per graft is lot considering he spends 10min with you at best and you're getting operated on by 25-year old girls...

Get on Finasteride/Dutasteride immediately. Your have agressive hairloss. The evil little DHT is trying to take it from Nw 5 to Nw 6. Be careful It's creeping further down and has created an extra little bald spot and that bald spot is soon gonna connect with the rest.

And yeah be careful with beard hairs on scalp. Sometimes it looks excellent but sometimes it looks like total crap and doesn't blend very well. TrackRat has a negative experience with Eugenix. There was a guy by the name of Bryan Chambers who had a similar issue with HLC. So yeah beard hairs are good for the most part but it's tricky

I Agree except for Lorenzo ! Lorenzo is a hairmill. Don't be fooled by his youtube videos. 4-5 patients a day, minimal involvement during surgery, outsources the work to young girls...

They are probably the best for FUT in Europe. I think they are comparable to Hasson & Wong for FUT quality. They are good for FUE too. Never seen a bad result from them in years. But if we are talking FUE specifically then Bisanga and Freitas are more experienced and have a better track record.
