8,5 months after third surgery to lower hairline + temples. 

 

 

Doctor you are certainly a superstar. I always love seeing your consistent incredible results. This case is awesome. The patient could try his hand at starting in a Hollywood movie now lol because he looks about 1/3 of his age!!!

That is true but it's not like survival rate of grafts of other top surgeons lags far behind. It's already in the 90%+ and so Zarev isn't relatively that much higher. You can only get to 99%.

I think Zarev simply harvests from the entire head, way outside the traditional safe donor zone, and does so in a very calculated and proper way in terms of density distribution, so that when it all grows back, there are no obvious areas that stand out as having been over-depleted.

Yep I think you nailed it. To cover that much ground you have to take hair from outside a more dht resistant zone. He does so in a homogenous way so the donor doesn’t look depleted in one area more than the other. But who is to say what these hair transplants look like 30-40 years from now. Hopefully the same but we don’t have that evidence yet. I would love to hear what Dr Konior thinks of Dr Zarev technique? Would be really cool considering one is considered the greatest ever and Zarev is certainly heading into that territory for high norwoods.

If you have retrograde alopecia should fut be considered in most cases as the best option?

Thank you very much! I completely agree, and that was my wish also. Feriduni was very satisfied how the micro irregularities complimented the hairline and my hair caliber.

I think it looks great. And if you ever bald you have plenty of hair in the back to use. When you shave down to a low guard can you see any fue scars? Happy for you man enjoy your hair now!

So one year has gone by -- and I was at my in-person 1 year check up at Feriduni in Hasselt last week. Very satisfied with the results, and below is comparison pictures attached - surgery day and 11,5 months after. Can't be happier with the follow up and professionalism of Dr. Feriduni and the technicians.

Wow this is what we call a natural hair transplant. You don’t want a straight dense hairline because then people will know it is fake. This looks like OP never balded but also matured with time. Dr Feriduni and staff did a homerun here!

There isn’t a single doctor doing high Norwoods as good as this guy. That said a top-down view of the crown would be helpful to assess “true” density. 

Pittella? Pittella has done much worse donors and shows patients with bright lights/comb through. Of course Zarev is a master as well but very few poor donor cases

based on the studies, a one time application is best. Yes, it isn't foolproof the way it is now at least, but we hope to first fully establish that it helps, and upon establishing that, get it to as close as foolproof as possible.

Will be awesome if they ever do find a way to prevent scarring. Regrowing hair would be a miracle but preventing scarring could change the surgical industry 

Just now, Fox243 said:

the control had normal scarring, the test had reduced scarring and more hair

Interesting. So there was still scarring. It isn’t full proof. Which would make fut even more interesting because scarring on fut is usually more pronounced/common. I wonder if verteporfin treatments injected into scar every week or month after the procedure would benefit it at all? Would be interesting. I assume it would be expensive for a patient to get verteporfin use after their procedure

you should follow the verteporfin thread

 

verteporfin could make your scar disappear 

this guy got fut surgery with verteporfin after already going through multiple fut surgeries before

in a few months we will know if his scarring got noticable decreased or not

Did veterporfin make the control have no scarring in fue?

A one time injection right after extracting follicles using FUE or FUT. Lets hope we get a good amount of regrowth

Oh only once into the scars? Have we seen what effect it has on fut scars? Would be massive?

Are trials just injection into donor right after hair transplant surgery or is this injected every week for months?

Yes

I don't think there is any data out there one way or another on this so basically, you're just going off of anecdotal evidence. There is evidence that DHT declines (Along with Testosterone) as you get older, so perhaps that leads to slower loss. But it really depends on your hair follicles genetic susceptibility to DHT. If your hair follicle has a high affinity for DHT, it doesn't matter if your DHT gets lower because some will always be circulating and will find its way to your hair follicles. 

 

I’m just going off what I saw on a hair restoration doctor’s site. But I honestly have no idea of progression does slow down. So thank you for you comment!

There isn't a straight answer to this. 

Some people will bald in 2 years, others in 10, others might take 20. If you're on Finasteride/Dutasteride you will likely be able to keep it for life (being controversial but i'm an optimistic when it comes to meds) thats my view. 

Interesting. You think that meds save everyone? Some may have a higher dht than meds can block and this still bald on the meds? But if dht lessens as we age then the med may work better for someone that is 35 than 25?

Is it true that it tends to slow down significantly every decade? 20-30 is the fast progression of hair loss and 30+ it slows down?

Do you know what density per sq cm your case was? I personally think Dr Rahal hit this case out of the park! Great to see!

Looking good! How big was your strip like length by width?

What a great case from Dr Feriduni and his team. What density was used in the hairline? Is the patient on finasteride at all?

How involved was Dr Wong?

Great doctor to have for your procedure!

In my mind, 50-55+ is dense packing territory.

Yes that’s what I’m thinking probably that 55-70 range. Anything above that is pretty rare in terms of happening often

2 hours ago, Hair4Days said:

Dr Konior doesn’t really dense pack. He’s conservative and likes to avoid shock loss. Although I’ve seen a result of his where he  packed a patient on a second pass up to native density so it varies 

Have a link to that native density result?

Who is the doctor in Brazil that does dense packing? One of the best dense packing results I've seen. Pittella?

I think maybe Leal? He seems to be one of the top guys in Brazil. He did @Fue3361

There are a lot of doctors that can dense-pack. Dr. Hasson is a great name. Dr. Konior, you might also want to look at our list of recommendations and research the names on this forum.
