Why is shaving seen as being confident
lunch_owl replied to Al - Moderator's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I think shaving it all off is a sign of confidence and liberation in a way. You no longer have to worry about lighting, wind, rain, sweat, angles etc. Most bald guys i see has a certain energy to them. They have an authority -

Dr pitella is my favorite surgeon for several reasons. I got some questions. What package did you choose? What was the state of your donor deemed as pre surgery? Were you taking meds pre/post surgery? -
I listened to the bald truth podcast and they mentioned this. I can not remember the names at the top of my head. Yes but it has also become the other way around. Clinics that used to produce below average results are now producing decent results. So the industry is very organic if you will.

Some doctors who are considered reputable and highly regarded are struggling getting customers. Believe it or not, but all companies except non-profit companies number one objective is to make a profit. That is a business. You can not get around that. All hair clinics inlcuding the elite are treating it as a business. After all, they dont work for free. Every industry that has high revenue where there is potential to make alot of money will attract every kind of people. Im not defending it but it is the way it is.

I dont understand what the phrase "hair mill marketing" means. Every profit driven company in the world wants to be visible to costumers. How many clinics are there in the world today? 5 digits? 6 digits? They got to be seen somehow. Its a huge competition between the clinics. There are relatively few clinics that can live on their reputation alone imo, at least on the internet. If i remember correctly, reputable doctors have been dancing on instagram etc to attract costumers and they are not a hair mill.

From my experience talking to a few turkish clinics and some other clinics in other countries i have noticed that only Turkish clinics wants you to bring money in cash instead of wiring it via a bank transfer so they wont need to pay tax on it. Im curious to know abput other peoples experiences and thoughts. Those of you who went to Turkey, did you pay in cash? Did you refuse? Were you able to wire it instead? Cant be so comfortable carrying around a large amount of cash.

Without a doubt weight lifting and managing your diet. Sleep also is an important factor.

NW6 Poor Donor - Can I do this?
lunch_owl replied to Bej520's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
he could still get a ht and go for the buzzed look in my opinion by using some scalp and beard grafts on the recipient area and refill the donor area with hair from chest or some other area that is suitable. Imo a smp without any hair on top looks like dry paint from up close. -
This is my plan as well. I look really good with a buzzed head and beard. Considering i am a NW 6/7 i dont have high expectations. The important thing in this case is imo get a good framing of the face.

Have you seen any cases like this?
lunch_owl replied to lunch_owl's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Yes, that was what i meant. Was everything worth it for you in the end? -
Clinic suggestions as a NW6-7
lunch_owl replied to Macpod's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Welcome dear fellow nw6/7 brother! We have a similar pattern. In our situation we cant afford to do any slipups. Save money and maximise your chances to get it right the first time. It it messed up the first time, it will be more expensive in the longrun. Also i dont wanna think about the potential mental consequenses of trying to save a buck and get slaughtered. Best of luck brother. -
If im not mistaken, you are on fin, right? Have you noticed anything in regards to thinner beard on different dosages prior to using oral fin?
-
So if you get beard grafts transplanted to your scalp, and you choose to be on oral min+fin, how does that work with the beard hair? From a logical perspective fin can weaken beard however im not aware of any case were it has been proven to do so. But it would make sense. Does oral min counteract that result of weakening the beard grafts that fin could possibly induce? Does anybody know?

Well, to him the benefit is not worth the risk. Speaking of the medical community and the pandemic, FDA sort of got caught with their pants down during the pandemic. over 60% of FDA's funding is coming from the companies it regulates. Also, there has been highly regarded people in the medical community stating that when medicines are going through clinical trials, those who conduct the trials, select the healthiest people and conducts test on them to minimize chances of it looking bad in the results. Not saying that it happened during fin or min clinical trials but it has happened in the medical community according to at least one highly regarded doctor. So, who can you really trust? In the end its one's own decision to make if the benefit is worth the risk. He shouldnt be slandered for it. Its totally understandable somebody refusing a non life essential drug because he is worried about possible sideffects even if the chances according to the trials are low. Is there any medical history info on the people who was participating in the trials?

Tying my hands up. Makes me sleep better knowing i cant do anything do harm my grafts during sleep. Or maybe sleep in one of those Transylvanian coffins 🙂

I disagree. Sleeping with a surgeon cap and stopping when i feel it im touching the cap does not reassure me that i will stop which also increases anxiety before sleeping which in turn makes me sleep very bad. Thats my thought process. Knowing that your hands are incapable of moving to your scalp by restraining your hands gives me a relieving feeling knowing that i can not hurt the grafts men im not in control. It also helps with the fear and anxiety part of it too imo.
