i didnt even know sneijder had an ht

 

 

looks like he got an ht all over the norwood 5 region

 

not bad

 

There is a sh*t tone of footballers who got HTs

Shaqiri, Karius, Rooney, David Silva, Beckam, Fabregas, Berbatov, Stokes etc.

Some of them will have to shave and SMP in the future

2k max

Most of the people who do 1 HT and then dont want to keep chasing the hairloss or take meds do SMP

do those examples look good? 

 

I would say only aobut 20% of the photos/ videos posted above look acceptable to me. I am interested in this too, just in case as a back up strategy for the future. 

 

Visit Ahead Ink , Elixir SMP and Samuel Troonen they have a lot of examples on their instagram, also famous football player Welsey Sneijder has this done, also famous Israeli singer Eyal Golan.

If you ask me the results with shaved head look great, the ones with grown out hair do not

I dont think SMP works if you dont 0 guard your head with clipers every day or every second day and the reason is that after 2 days there is an obvious contrast between the 2D ink dots and the 3D grown hair. You can find countless examples of that (HT+0 guard shave+ SMP)in famous SMP artists' instagram pages

@Aslitarcan sucks Look great man, wish you the best, you are low NW so your good results will last long term, any idea how many grafts were removed from the temples and if Dr Mwamba left some of them behind to not leave scaring because of their proximity to each other?

Very happy for you man. Hope everything turns out well!

I also had a good impression of dr Mwamba. It will be hard for me to choose another doctor after seeing him

@JimKan1 Checkout the stitches, only for a small # of grafts

Honestly I fail to understand how stitching works and why Dr Mwamba used that? Is it that because he removes a lot of grafts close to each other?Or would he stitch them anyway?

He also noted that even tho they fcked up my donor and recipient, atleast they didnt cause any coblestoning etc and that the skin is flat

 

This is really important

there are countless examples in youtube

When you said depression and suicidal thoughts, I wasn't sure what to expect here. Just watched the video. Didu your hair looks incredible! Forget the SMP it won't do much for you. 

100% true

You cant have an ht without anesthesia

With manual extraction and small punch you can be good with 1 guard

If its a reputed surgeon from the US or Canada you have nothing to worry about in your case,no progressive alopecia or diffuse thining, I wish you good luck and keep us updated

Just curious, why not shave it? Is it because how the pattern looks when shaved bald? Or do you want to grow it out a bit and the transplanted hair makes it unnatural? 

transplanted hair stick out differently when shaving

wasnt this post about a shaved fue result?

he has really aggressive hairloss and made a lot of effort to reach this point, he looks good to be honest even while he uses fibers, I believe he will manage to maintain his crown for a while with medication and whats left from his donor but in 10-15 years he will have to shave everything and do SMP probably.

Indeed Dr Mwamba is very skillful, the problem I am very paranoid and have ptsd from my previous HT. I am nervous surgery date is approaching. I’m mainly focusing on FUE removal so I’m guessing that should be an easy task for Dr Mwamba 

Like I told you, Dr Mwamba has a lot of experience and is a decent surgeon, your decision about surgery however shouldnt be based just on forum reviews by random accounts but by your own judgement as well, talk to many doctors ,get their opinion, see which one matches your case and make your decision

Due to too many accounts praising Dr Mwamba for repairs but very little pictures, I can’t help but ask myself if they reviews are real. I have a surgery date with Mwamba next month, now I am getting very nervous about the surgery and even second guessing it. 

Don't consider anything without pictures real and consider that a picture differs a lot from real life view, Mwamba is a decent doctor though

Got a price quote from SMP USA $4700 for 3 sessions

''We are able to achieve 85-90% improvement in the visibility of the scar'', so its probably 75%

Really hope that 3000 grafts placed into the donor will be enough, so SMP becomes a cherry on the cake and not the main coverage

 

thats quite a lot, you could find good solutions in Europe too and much more affordable

I think the transplant will make it look more natural to be honest, also think of a combination between 2 and 3, remove only the most pluggy ones and have SMP, also put some BHT to the most problematic donor area

Actually from my experience in life showing your insecurities shows that you have the courage to be honest and authentic by having nothing to hide. This is a quality that in time you will find mature people will value as it makes them feel less secretive about their own insecurities. I'll give you one example. When I wore a hair piece I owned it like a boss and joked about it. Several girlfriends, when I spoke about it suddenly for the first time in their lives felt comfortable enough to share with me their own insecurities (ie their tits were too big/small, their arse was too big, etc, which was all unfounded). As a result it allowed them to feel open enough to share their fears and insecurities for the first time in their lives. As human beings we are more alike than dissimilar. Sharing insecurities is not only cathartic but it is also what it means to be human.

trying to hide something and failing makes it look even more visible

Thanks for documenting your journey and honestly it looks really good so far

1. I cant see any significant scaring from all the extractions you did and getting rid of 70% of the hair is actually a good achievement, is the scaring as it looks in the pictures or it looks worse in real light?

2.You think you managed to remove more with laser or electrolysis?

3. FUE extraction, laser or electrolysis leaves the least amount of scaring?
