  1. Of course, you’re right, it’s just that I considered ‘dense packing’/‘relatively dense packing’ as something that every decent surgeon is able to achieve ..
  2. How can such a top surgeon not be good in dense packing? You sure about that?🤔
  3. Hi, I decided to fix/improve it elsewhere. No, I didn't ask for money-back, and HDC didn't offer that. They did offered free touch-up though. While my result is very disappointing, it's important to remember no medical treatment if "risk-free"/100% guaranteed, even under good hands. I guess that's life and sometimes you're on the wrong side of statistics. It doesn't mean it's a bad clinic/doctor.
  4. I will translate this for you: "Do you think I (Dr. Bisanga) don't 'believe'/'know' that in my usual fee (4 euros) my patients, which I care about dearly, as I am a moral and ethical and professional doctor/person, will get a premium service and maximum results? really? do you think it is really needed for getting significantly better results?" Dr. Bisanga is a top-notch doctor. It's a matter of character. You can see this even from his videos with Melvin. This kind of person would have never built a 'system' that allows him to deliver less than "100%" results. You know what? nobody is perfect, and we to have some 'give and takes'. So let's correct this to 99%. Bisanga (and other fantastic doctors) built a 'system'/'algorithm' which will provide quality of service of 99% or higher (and actually, 99% and 100% are pretty much the same anyway). This is not a personal thing, it's the way the Doctor see himself. You asking him to do everything by himself is a bit disrespectful. Not in personal way, but Dr. Bisanga tells himself: "Damn, isn't it obvious I would never vouch for anything that isn't a 99-100% of maximal dedication and quality contro?" If you want to be so petty with him, and force him to do actions which he knows a doctor is not really needed for, you're being indeed very petty and creating tedious and uneccessery (and in someway disrespectful) work for him. I can totally understand his response.
  5. He performed it like in any other top clinic. of course we used antiseptics. actually there was no infection, so I'm not sure why you ask this, I hope this is not because you have some intention to de-legitimize this clinic. It wasn't an ideal experience, true, but I'd definitely would never call this "horror story". Doron was not my representative, he has nothing to do with this case.
  6. The clinic I've been to is a good clinic, with mostly positive results, good reputation, and is recommended on this forum. The customer service was very quick, sincere and full of emphaty. The doctor really did everything he can to provide me with an excellent result. I know for a fact he tried to get the best he possibily can, and he had put a lot of effort into this. Whether he tried to 'over' dense-pack ± there was too much of adrenaline being used, or everything was ok and I was just part of the less positive side of statistics - I really don't know.
  7. yes, they offered, but I lost some trust due to the overall poor growth/hairline design/etc'. also, sadly, I received messages from different users here about going through necrosis as well, and met other 3 people (beside me) from the same clinic, with necrosis. I think the doctor wanted a "too good" result. he really did his best, I have no complaints about his caring/attitude. he really wanted to create (that's how he expressed) an "incredibly good/dense result", but growth was very poor (I assume ~%60 of follicles). I had it fixed in another clinic 1 week ago, so can't. but it's just a skin bared of grafts/hairs.
  8. this is 1 year old almost, it did turn out to be a necrosis with no growth.
  9. for future readers: it did turn out to be a necrosis, no hair sprouted there.
  10. for future readers: it did turn out to be a necrosis, no hair sprouted there.
  11. relatively easaier? harder? less anxious (because we already know the follicles will grow eventually)?
  12. 1. But the video explains that after 13-15 - this is the final results. it will forever be '80% of what you saw during months 9-10". The main message in the video is not: "it will get better after months 9-10 to 13-15", it is: "it will not get worse". I think if you watch the video closely this is what she says. 2. if a hair follicles grows for 2-6 years (avg. of 4 years = 196 weeks), and stalls for 6-8 weeks (avg. of 7 weeks), how come the proportions between the follicles that grow and stall (as mentioned in the video) is 80%/19%? shouldn't it be in the proportions of 196 to 7? that means 97% growing and 3% stalls/sheds, not 80% to 20%..
  13. Hello everyone As for photos - there're no signficant changes from previous photos, actually, beside the hair being a bit more thick. I did consult some of the top surgeons (bisanga, pinto, feriduni, freitas). 3 of them pretty much agreed increasing the density at the hairline is beneficial, and can be done at the same session with some crown work. one of them, though, reacted in a what I find 'too aggresive' way, I quote: "Dr. XXX evaluated your pictures thoroughly and set up an assessment for your hair restoration procedure. He will first need to get rid of the faulty transplanted FU’s out of your existing hairline to get rid of the unnatural doll effect. The extracted FUs will be relocated to other areas of attention that will be discussed during the preoperative consultation. Just like with every repair surgery, 2 or 3 extraction sessions with 4 – 6 months in between each session are required to get rid of the entire hairline. After the 3 extraction sessions, you will return to a hair situation that you would have had if you never had done any surgery. At that stage, you will be able to decide whether or not you continue to have further surgery to rebuild a new and aesthetical hairline. Please note that the mentioned price in the attached quotation is the price per session, and thus not for 3 sessions." Well, this felt to me very aggrresive and not justified at all. Really all wanted is to extract some mal-positioned follicles from the left side hairline + adding some density behind hairline + some crown work (which will surely, from the clinic's perspective, will be more financialy rewarding). Not only are they too/overly judgemental, I feel like they're thinking more about "we must, always, create perfect hairlines" (which I respect to some degree), rather than understanding what it important for me as a patient, which will happily 'settle' for an "A- (minus) head of hair.
  14. hi well, ~8.5-9 months, to sum it up: 1. How satisfied I am? around 9/10. after developing some skills with combinations of toppik+dermmatch - I can style my hair in a way that looks fantastic. I'm getting much more 'general compliments' about my overall look (not hair specifically), so I feel much more confident. for this, I have to kind of 'curl' my hairline along the hairline with my hands, so it looks more natural (I don't simply comb it up, I just pull some (around 20?) singles straight and a bit down, it really creates a much better and natural hairline)). 2. Am I happy with HDC? I'd say around 6/10. positives: -they're moral -dr. maras has great bedside manners -the team is very polite -they did offer me a fix for free -the donor area looks good minuses: -my density is low at central hairline (which I cover with some styling, but still a bit sucks). the growth there is really disappointing and I had 2 small necrosis due to too much anesthesia and/or too much dense-packing and not enough blood supply. -hairline @left side looks a bit pluggy (overall there're around 5-7 doubles all over hairline, with 4 on the left), but again - with some 'curling the hair down' at the hairline - it's unnoticeable 3. future plans? I'll have to transplant the crown, and will probably have to add ~200 hair at the hairline, and maybe unroot some doubles. overall I'm very very happy with deciding take the plunge.
