How long has the dry throat been a thing for you?

A week straight and I started loniten 2.5weeks ago 

Any oral minox users deal with a dry throat? Maybe it is unrelated 

What is considered an average size head?

Yes. He is as good as they come!

Started getting subtle pain in my heart area, and tonight I'm getting a bit of a stabbing pain on the other side, so may need to stop taking the drug. What a bloody nightmare...

I took 1.25 mg and my throat hurts. Could be unrelated but if it is related I’m not gonna take it anymore

Did you lose some transplanted hair? For not being trichophytic closure that is sure a good scar. Something about Hw always having good scars

perhaps but everyone's donor is different

Like look at this case. He got 12k grafts. I dont really see many grafts outside the safe zone there at all 12,138 Grafts (hairtransplantation.bg)

The man is in 50s

Even the true safe zone may well have some thinning later in life at 50+ or 60+ . We cant really predict the future but with Nw7 quite rare i think taking grafts in the NW6 donor should be ok. It is a risk but a calculated one.

That’s a great case. Patient was as nw7 as it gets and Dr Zarev managed to give him a good set of hair. I’ve heard Dr Zarev uses a .5mm punch which seems crazy considering you always here the lower the punch the more transection but somehow he makes it work so I have no clue

It can have a marginal affect on transplanted hair. If I’m being honest, it’s not that important if you’re a NW7 and all your hair is transplanted.

What could make that donor hair go? Eczema, Chemo drugs, dandruff? Since dht doesn’t have much of an effect anymore

I don't mean to change the subject, but are the Dr's who are considered "high NW masters" who get great results in 1 or 2 sessions actually just going far outside the safe donor zone in order to get grafts without making the donor look patchy? 

Like ya I hear arguments that "well they just angle the grafts better" or "their survivability rate is just better" but I don't know... That doesn't seem to pass the smell test. 

The safe zone is of course different for everybody but some of these high Norwood fue docs I’d like to see more data 10+ years later before calling them the best. What they do is very impressive but if it only looks good for 5 years and then starts to thin than why would anyone want that?

Hattingen seems incredibly ethical. Every video or post I’ve seen from them was super natural. Both doctors are world class

Wow homerun. Looks like you never had any hair loss! I bet you are ecstatic! How does the scar look?

I 1 million percent understand OPs disappointment. I mean the side that is lacking is lacking. It doesn’t look very good. If it was uniform on both sides then that’s one thing but for how expensive hair transplants can be I think we all want a great result. Of course one pass density is rare but this result could’ve been a lot better than what it is. If OP was nw6-7 and got this result I’d be ecstatic but I 100% understand his disappointment. I’m sure anyone would be disappointed with this especially because it isn’t some cheap hair mill.

This is usually when it looks the worst but I’m excited to see how this case pans out. And well at least you have facial hair in case you ever want to use it lol 

Looks awesome. The most ethical clinic in the world. I love seeing results from them. I think you will be pleased with the natural long lasting results. Keep us updated!

Does oral minox have some anti androgen properties or is it just simply hair growth and thickness?

I feel that low of dht is good? Shouldn’t be impacting hair loss any 

From my understanding you don’t know which Doctor will perform the procedure? Is there better doctors in the clinic than the rest or are they all about the same? Overall is it a good clinic for donor management and dense results?

Update?

Ah yes fair point. When you mentioned his patients having good donors in your original post I thought you were referring to ample supply of total grafts to be able to use. I see your point now though. 

That said, of the 2060 grafts I put into my crown in November 2022, I had 2.65 hairs per graft.  My crown was a bit larger than the guy in the first pic, but his density is far above mine and I had pretty good density in my 8 month result! 

Interesting. Ya I have no clue how Dr Couto does it. It really is a mystery. My only guess is his patients have insane thickness in their donor available. Maybe the frontal hairline is super dense but behind it isn’t as great? I’d love to see a comb through not just pushing the hairline back but splitting the hairline too

Just now, GoliGoliGoli said:

No one is saying he isn't legit, the question is how is he pulling off these results with such minimal amounts of grafts. Doing more with less grafts is what separates great from good Dr's, but still some of these are hard to believe. 

I think it’s because the density and thickness of these donors he has to work with. I’ve seen many 2.4-2.6 hairs per graft cases. Tons of his results are from patients with insane donors. That is easier to make look great up front compared to someone with not as strong of a donor. I truly think that’s why he does less with more. 

Couto is legit. The thing is I have yet to see a case on thin donor or something not as thick as he usually gets. A lot of the docs in Spain always produce such great hairlines because it seems most of the cases they present are thick donors. Not everyone has that kind of donor 

Will be following closely 

Looks like this will be great. Also you must heal insanely well because for that short of time your scar is very very small!

There isn’t anyone more deserving of great things in this life. Happy for you Gatsby. Your case truly shows the beauty of the hair restoration industry and how it has come so far the last 20-30 years

This is interesting and I would love to hear from some FUT docs on this but since it ultimately comes down to healing ability wouldn’t creating a new wound just make the scar the same or potentially worse? Not many fut docs around anymore but I will say Dr Konior/Dr Nadimi always have perfect pencil line scars. I have yet to see a bad one from them and so if I was to fix the scar I’d go to them. They must have super powers when it comes to fut closure lol. For fue into scar all recommended docs could do it
