i think you still need to be careful though, neograft for example is not as good apparently and not the system zarev is using Quote: Suction was used in the neograft system to try and simplify the extraction process and combine the steps of punching and excising out the grafts. The graft would travel through a tube to be stored in a compartment. The problem is that the grafts desiccated and died. Suction has not proven to be the good historically with fue. I’ve heard zarev uses his own device that I assume is an off the shelf unit with some add-ons. He’s seemed to figure something out that others haven’t. but with all that being said, I’d choose skill of a surgeon over the tools any day.

sometimes i wished i had hairloss in 2015 already so i could have booked with dr zarev before the waiting list was 4 years and the price 9 eur per graft

he does use bodyhair sometimes though https://www.instagram.com/p/B0-3IjlHsUJ/?hl=de&img_index=7

If i read the below quote correctly, 2700 grafts extracted by another, actually quite respected surgeons limited the donor capacity from 14.000 to 9.000, so besides the 2.700 grafts extracted another 2.300 grafts became unusable. Quote: - I used 2700 grafts previously by Dr Saifi & Dr Zarev said this is an issue with this part of the donor. - If possible it really is better for patients to not have previous surgeries as it limits the use of his technique in this important zone in the back of the head. - Many surgeons using larger punches cause damage to the donor area. - I have 3000 grafts left in this area with grafts that have average quality. - If I did not have a previous surgery I would have had 14,000 grafts lefts so more than enough to cover my worse case scenario. My donor to me doesnt seem strong so this was very surprising. -I have 9000 grafts left, 6000 from the sides of very good quality hairs, 3000 from the back of average quality but no retrogade alopecia.

will monitor this closely its hard to read though that according to zarev even very reputable surgeons basically destroy the donor with the common extraction technique @BlueSkyDay

how are these patients selective? of these patients would get rejected for not being a suitable candidate by many other clinics or get told to manage their expectations to a degree that half of their head would remain bald. first people said, the results of zarev are fake then they said, oh he only picks selected patients with thick coarse black bulgarian hair. the truth is way simpler. he is just better then the other clinics at this points and i think that his device plays a big part in that. for the rest i agree with you though. hopefully him now able to charging 9 eur per graft will motivate some other doctors to catch up. https://www.instagram.com/p/C0E25hNqOPf/?hl=de&img_index=2 https://www.instagram.com/p/CzgSB_VK2M7/?hl=de&img_index=4 https://www.instagram.com/p/B0-3IjlHsUJ/?hl=de&img_index=4 https://www.instagram.com/p/BuHzHMsgj7q/?hl=de&img_index=4

he should probably do a lot of advertising in california, i heard that 9 eur per graft are almost normal prices there however i think its good he raises prices that much cause maybe it will motivate other surgeons to find similar or even better solution and catch up with his results. if he does like 1-2 surgeries per week, he brings home 800.000 usd home every months, with a team of like 3-5 people. if that isnt motivation then i dont know

@mtb @anxious6 @HugoX since you were patient, can you say more to the device dr.zarev was using?

he is quoting the website lol, as if zarev would need any form of advertisement at that point…

zarev result looks different tbh its no coincidence that zarevs results are unmatched when it comes to donor

zarev donor, 12h after extracting 2k grafts

anyways..clearly dr.zarev and fuegenix doing something better then the rest of the other doctors right now if you have the money id go to either of these two i just hope other surgeons will catch up at one point, maybe break into zarevs office or bribe @DrMunibAhmad assistant to make secret videofootages of his procedure, idk

the best fue surgeon are dr zarev and fuegenix. if you have the money id go with them

this looks really promising ngl seems like you went high risk but got rewarded

if verteporfin regenerates hair to a certain percentage we got really close though

is there a list of surgeons who uses neograft or ava fue? i wonder if dr ahmad from fuegenix uses vacum assisted fue as his result regarding the donor looks very similar

op donor looks untouched, i think 2nd round could give him ideal result

btw, i like this extraction pattern, many surgeons go often a bit too high in the middle and the crown often dips in that part

i see big difference on the side where it didnt fill in the first time tbh

i think 6k is needed to match density of crown and sides so far op only seems to bald in in norwood 4 pattern, if he stays that way it will be all good. medication probably is still advicable though

GOAT

the mandatory „his view on verteporfin“ question please did he ever rejected a patient with virgin scalp for fut strip surgery due to poor scalp laxity?

thank you for the explanation, that definitely makes sense for lesser known surgeons verteporfin could be more interesting because regardless of outcome it could give them a publicity boost so if people here wanna do something the best probably would be to make less well known surgeons aware of verteporfin and the potential benefits for their business

i think it looks good if you dont take finasteride a „more conservative hairline“ wouldnt be the best solution either imho

can you style it like leo di caprio? slick back? would probably look very impressive on you sick result
