Yeh transplanted hair can grow in curly/unruly at first. It might take some time to take on the characteristics of the surrounding/existing hair.  

Oh they are real, real good at poor procedures that is. Bail out ! 

Thanks for posting these, always nice to see total transparency when posting pics. 👌🏿

It’s never safe having sex in gyms… 😆

Hi there, all these questions your need to ask your surgeon, not strangers online. Some doctors have different instructions and they may be due to specific ways they practice or medications they give you so it's crucial to get your information from them

Absolutely 👍🏿

You can also do this if you’re a 1099 contractor. It’s reasonable if you’re in the public eye, or you deal directly face to face with clients.

Can I ask what is a 1099 contractor? Please explain to a Uk person 😁

Wait it out bro and choose Dr Freitas, the better/elite Drs are always booked up, totally worth hanging on!

Thank you. After exploring this forum, I feel I may be rushing into this.  I will  explore more option before  proceeding. 

 

thanks 

Yeh you will have you’re eyes opened the more you look and the more you research, nobody here would ever recommend any hair mill or chain type clinic.

Take you’re time bro, absolutely no rush to do this! If you can please share pics, and also let us know if you can travel? For the figure you was talking you could have the best Drs in Europe.

No nothing mate.

 

I've actually paid a deposit (not sure if it's refundable) maybe I should look in too it a bit more. 

 

Eugenix suggested the surgery over two days and it would be completed. (I'm sure that's what they suggested)

I've literally just messaged Dr Sethi on Insta, see if he replies. I was pretty much hoping for a surgery soon as I'm very busy and had a nice window in January to have surgery and 5 weeks recovery.

People arrive here sometimes too late and the procedure is done, in you’re case which really does need someone who performs particularly well in the higher Norwood category’s then it’s definitely wise to look at all the options. It does look like a total Eugenix love fest in here at times, but I can’t deny they pretty much put out the better results for the NW 6/7s ..

@BoredMassivelyHey, just looking through this thread, and wondering how it’s looking now Bro?

I did message Eugenx Hair, and they suggested 5,000 grafts. 

Yeah I do have a good beard so I'm told. 

 

Eugenix is giving a much more realistic plan for ht 1. They are particularly adept at utilising those beard grafts, Dr Sethi in particular is pretty high on most High Norwoods lists, along with Dr Pittella. Are you on a med regime? Fin would definitely help retain and strengthen your current hair.

Can I ask why you say its unlikely this op wouldn't go well? Again I'm genuinely not trying to come across defensive.

If all the grafts grew in then it just wouldn’t be enough to give a decent result (cm2  density would be too low) and all clinics will have a certain percentage that won’t. 

Just now, CAW said:

Can I genuinely ask why you think he isn't a good Dr?

 

I'm seriously not trying to sound ar##y just genuinely Interested in your opinion. 

 

 

Of course, Look at the work done (here and anywhere else you can find) what’s important as a high Norwood is maximising every single graft, the Dr here is proposing is way too low to show a adequate improvement, this clinic seems to implant at a low density (see other results) I don’t like the hairlines they create, and I typically see multi grafts in them (should be singles), please show a pic of the donor areas. Out of curiosity how is you’re beard? Most clinics these days work with mostly scalp hair and supplement it with Beard grafts to achieve good coverage, with the higher Norwoods it’s often needed. 
Just look at the cases on the forum for Norwood 6, only a few are achieving decent result. The proposal of 2.5k then 1.5k simply isn’t enough, it’s really going to take 7k+ to pull this off well. What are your goals?

Hahaha, this thread is insane. Well, HT is a one-in-a-lifetime proccedure, seems almost impossible to justify a short-term effect drug affecting a lifetime decision...? Maybe its just me tho.

I get people want these thrills/kicks/rides whatever, but come on OP you can literally do that sh*t anytime you want, leading up to a once (or few) in a lifetime important procedure, hell no. 

As a heads up even if this FUE went particularly well (unlikely) 2.5k isn’t enough to even address the frontal third. And the planned subsequent ht of 1.5k isn’t enough either, you will need at least 7k+ to give adequate coverage. 

Not a good choice bro, better Drs are around even in the UK. Use the Clinic name or Drs in the search bar and you can see for yourself.

Look to Europe to get more bang for your buck, and also access the elite Drs. If you must stay here in the Uk then look at Dr Reddy or Dr Manish as better options!

Can anyone recommend using Maxim Hair Restoration NYC for an FUE transplant? I had a consults and the offer is 3000 graphs for $13,500. I found positive google reviews and some negative reviews.  There 1 seeming good experience on this site from @ussoccerfan1990 and his post 5 month update FUT 2006 grafts. 

 

Many post say that Hair Mills (Bosley, Maxim) are bad but I see many negative experiences from that.  Any help is appreciated. 

 

thanks 

You can find a much, much better option! Of course you will find great faceless reviews and good marketing, look beyond this, you need actual completed patient journeys that have been posted, not ones that are unfinished. Besides which it’s entirely possible you wouldn’t have the same Dr or techs as that guy. With a severe lack of real results then it’s a red flag. 
Just spend time here looking at results from lots of different Drs/clinics, travel and/or save if needed to get a elite Dr, give you’re scalp the best possible chance of a good result.

Normally I would say speak to the Dr who will be doing the procedure, however in this case I don’t think that’s a good idea! I wouldn’t be risking it personally, you don’t want any extra risks, or even the possibility of cancellation..

I had to cancel flights - 12 weeks for refund. £65 admin charge. Visa was £150 as no uk evisa. Petrol £30 to get to London and back. £150 train tickets already booked. £160 dog kennel fees paid.....Then the kicker - 6 months for a refund. I have absolutely no idea why it would take so long. Perhaps Dr Arika can enlighten us all and confirm this is general Eugenix policy?

Damn Bro, not good at all, so they just cancelled with no good reason 😞

@Eugenix Hair SciencesCan you respond to this ^ by PM or on another thread.

This is like the fourth thread this month, and the others got deleted. Usually we see only one of these type of threads a month. Interesting behavior, huh?

Yup, especially when the pics are clinic based only and the review is just gushing praise 😉

From looking at the pic I would say anywhere between 2-2.5k would give good density. It’s quite usual to get different quotes depending on the Dr/Clinic, some will either increase or decrease on surgery day too.

2. Also, could someone tell me why no to Darling Buds and Akeso. They both seems to have good reputation and good patient results form the youtube channel.

Dr Bhatti & Darling Buds are no longer producing reliable and consistent results, also has limited Dr input. Both of these clinics showing good results on YouTube isn’t something to rely on, it’s just showcasing their best results, all for marketing.

Look for actual patient posted journeys on forums etc, that are posted independently.

Eugenix or Medispa, You mention that Medispa do FUT but they also do FUE and BHT, sometimes doing combo transplants of all 3. 

Hi, how many grafts did you have? Also wondering if it was FUT or FUE. These are just the clinic based pics, have you got any others to show pre and post op? Thanks!
