  1. I often see people point blank shoot down beard hairs in the frontal part of the head, but why? I understand not using it in the hairline or even the first two cm, but what about about 2 cm behind? Surely a small amount would be fine? Has anybody else done this?
  2. Two quite highly rated doctors have said point blank - 'we absolutely do not extract grafts from the hairline'. I guess they are worried about scarring, but as you can see from my photos, I have maybe maximum 50 grafts, if that, on my temple. I'd much rather try to recycle them than waste them, as I need all the potential grafts I can get. Very frustrating and really does reduce the pool of potential surgeons.
  3. The donor doesn't look bad when shaved down. But when grown out for a week or two the right side shows a large barren batch (again, way better than before though).
  4. Hey bro So there is no definitive answer about why the hairline didn't grow in, but a possible reason speculated on by Dr Mwamba is that too much may have been happening at the same time - too many new grafts and punch outs on the hairline, this causing trauma etc. Maybe too much attempted density is something I feel could have contributed too. While the hairline isn't great, I am tempted to shave my hair down to see what the state of the 'botch corners' are - they seem like they're a little denser than before the op with Mwamba, but I can't tell for sure right now. We discussed removing (and recycling to the FHL) a few more grafts from around my hairline/temple points (maybe 50 in total), and doing a small harvest of the dark patch at the bottom of my donor, to be used in the FHL. This would be a couple of hundred grafts at the most to be used in the FHL. This way we could keep things under control better and not overload the area with too many grafts. While I know this would not be enough to get full density or coverage, anything is better than nothing, and plus I want to get rid of some ugly grafts around my temple points anyway, that could be better put to work in the front. I definitely do not want to take another 1000 grafts from my donor to try and fix the front when there's no guarantee of growth. I also want a couple of hundred beard grafts to be put in my donor to improve it even more. After that, I think I'm done with all this (I hope). But I am taking my time making a decision on this right now as I want to explore all my options. Unfortunately, I am finding that most doctors just want nothing at all to do with punch-outs or beard grafts. As a result, many of the doctors I have enquired with just point blank refuse or start ghosting. Regardless, I won't take any action until I'm certain in my decision.
  5. I believe from around 22k euros. He doesn't charge by graft, but by operation.
  6. Did you choose for next year or is that just his waiting list?
  7. I have never seen a SINGLE independent review from Mark Tam. Honestly, just stay away.
  8. Read my comments above bro. Reddy is a decent surgeon. Mittal I just don't know. Personally I wouldn't go to him. Farjo is ok too. You would be doing yourself a disservice by not going to Dr Ball for a consultation. One thing alot of the UK surgeons have in common is that they are very conservative in their hairlines.
  9. I also agree with your Manish Mittal assessment. Just about every review I've seen about him seems contrived and 'rehearsed'. Having said that, I haven't seen any negative reviews about him either.
  10. These 'governing bodies' largely mean nothing and are 'pay-to-play' organisations. Ignore them and look for patient results and testimonials.
  11. Never ever seen a single case from d'souza Reddy is decent Farjo is decent Check out Dr Ball of the Maitland Clinic too
  12. Sorry to hear this bro. Utter scumbags. I would try to live it with it for a year and see how you feel before going for another procedure. Also, have realistic expectations - alot of repairs just don't work perfectly, due to limited donor, damaged recipients etc
  13. Excited to see how this turns out. HDC are a very professional, and very ethical clinic. Would recommend them to anyone
  14. Following, this Dr seems to do great work. Good luck man
  15. Yeah same as mine. Typical unskilled college girl 'technician' job.
  16. While I have a severe distaste for hair mills, it's only right more photos are provided before we can really comment further. However, based on the one photo and the comments of the user, all seems like a familiar story to me, I don't see why the patient would lie.
