Please Help... I'm Scared. What Do I Do?
MAIZE1694 replied to wprevil's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Honestly you are pretty far gone. I think you'll need a 2nd pass regardless of the 1st surgery outcome. I wouldn't be worried about shock loss in your situation. Again, you're going to need 2 surgeries anyway. -
Please Help... I'm Scared. What Do I Do?

Haven't seen your pics so can't make a real judgement yet. You could be a nw3 with good density and exaggerating your situation, I don't know. But you're booked with Couto? Thats one of the best surgeons on the planet. I'm sure he's had a few unsuccessful cases but they're few and far between. I say go for it. -
When is it too early for a transplant?
MAIZE1694 replied to xcactus's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Sometimes I see these nw1 guys asking if they should just "touch up the temples" and I fear for them. I fear the possibility things turn upside down and meds lose efficacy for them and they shed more and more. Like if these guys dropped to like a NW4V, things will get very, very dark for them. IMO you don't need surgery. You shouldn't. It will likely cause more problems than you currently have. But if you're dead set on it, save up and go with the absolute best. Don't leave nothing to chance since you're already a NW1. Konior maybe? Couto? Good luck. -
Question for the group re consultation
MAIZE1694 replied to Spiritmale's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Not sure what your question is? Are you asking if you should opt for a mega session? Most would advise against it unless you can book with someone like Zarev or Pittella. Better to break it up in to 2-3 sessions. -
How Do You know when a transplant has failed?
MAIZE1694 replied to eshda's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
It should be a forum rule if you ask for post-op advice you must name the clinic who operated on you. As a service to others in your shoes. "by and for patients" -
Transplant surgeons recommend
MAIZE1694 replied to lionsmane3030's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
The fin seems to have helped with the diffuse thinning in the mid scalp even though hair length differs in the photos. You're a NW3 at 21 which is fairly aggressive MPB. I would continue fin and reevaluate in 5 years. -
Should I be seeking now?
MAIZE1694 replied to waccwaccwacc's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I don't see much loss in 4 years.. You're going to create more problems than you have if you go the HT route. -
Am I willing to give too much?
MAIZE1694 replied to Cory's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
You borrow from the bank and banks borrow from the fed. The world runs on loans. If that's your situation and you know you can make the payments, absolutely play the game and go for it. Everybody does it. -
Day 14 Post Op Update (pics)
MAIZE1694 replied to MVPlayer023's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Donor should improve but if you expect a full recovery two weeks from now, prepare to be disappointed. It will recover somewhat, how much is not known. Everyone's case is unique. I do have to say though, the extraction philosophy here is just bad. It looks like you have mange. This is why I haven't pulled the trigger on my own HT yet. You have to be prepared to look f*cked up from behind, or grow your hair out 2+inches. Even then its a toss up if you can hide it. Then you start looking in to repair work etc. 🥴 -

Worried War May Affect My Procedure

Turkey shares a border with multiple failed states, as well as Iran. Westerners still flock there by the thousands. -

Retrograde alopecia?
MAIZE1694 replied to HairEnthusiast101's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Sometimes its hard to tell retro alopecia, not everyone has the same density. Average - below average density + greasy hair + grown out with different lengths = its going to look thin. Go see a dermatologist if you're concerned. -
I'm in a similar situation to you. I've never seen my hair under magnification but I can tell with my trained eye it looks thin. I had a pretty bad seb derm/ scalp infection and postponed my surgery but at this point it probably won't happen any time soon. Don't want to mess up the back of my head and have it look ridiculous for some thin hair that may or not take. I have a little more on top than you so I'm just taking fin for now and riding it out.

I didn't use this company for my wire. Before I canceled my surgery I went through my bank to wire the booking fee. I remember the teller asking me about 5 times if I was sure about the transfer ($270-ish?) while looking at me like I was psycho, while on the phone with the manager. I assume a lot of wire fraud/scams are based out of India.

Thats a hack job and a half if there ever were one. The good news is your donor is still fairly thick.

Botched Hairtransplantion by HLC clinic in Ancara
MAIZE1694 replied to michael hofmann's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Just to state the obvious, we really need pre-op pics of the donor. This should be either from the evaluation pics we send to clinics or the actual day of procedure photos from the clinic. From what i've seen, patients donor that looks like crap post-op already had thinning/weak donor. I try to warn people whenever I can about creating more problems for themselves. A combination of rose colored glasses and clinics not giving proper feedback on potential customers donor leads to clown-fiesta outcomes. It's sad.
