Rasputin

So this could be also used to treat BHT extractions?

Wow that guy's result is really impressive, but the laser looked so painful ouch..

Do you know how many FU/cm2 you have? Hopefully the increase in coverage and shorter hair will do the trick!

Unfortunately I don't really know, need to get this info for my next session.

But I definitely have less density than SeanToman, his results look good without SMP already so yeah it gives a boost. The wind is mostly a problem for my mid scalp where density is less than the hairline (this is why the wind is not a good thing for me so far)

Hair fiber gives 3D density, it makes your hair itself thicker, SMP doesn't, I guess that's the reason why most people here use hair fibers.

I just don't like it. I feel dirty with it, but the results are really good, I tried, and it's better than SMP (at least with the density I have now)

I do have that and it's quite bad, when there's wind for exemple you can see something's off. But my density is also quite low and I wear long hair. Could be maybe better with short hair but I need to have more work done to be able to do that (fue scar repair, a bit more coverage on recipient).

Although, I'm hoping that with another session and more density it can enhance my results. (I'm talking about another hair transplant session not SMP touch up)

Check this:

By the way, just check this out. This guy is a french singer, and he had his hair transplant more than 20 years ago (I don't know exactly when, could be even more than that, maybe more than 30 years ago).

No idea if he's taking finasteride(my guess is no) so you can definitely see (his name is Michel Fugain if you want to check more pictures) that he is supposed to be a norwood 7 or more (I think he even have retrograde alopecia).

But notice how his transplanted hairs are still here and quite strong. I don't think he's the only exemple but the "donor dominance" is something quite sure by now. That's why I sometimes don't understand the theory that BHT would became eventually more like scalp hair, that would be "recipient influence".

This guy is a full norwood 7, even more. If you're norwood 5, or 6 with good beard, you can have a decent result with no finasteride.

I don't even know why bother with it (and the unofficial 30% chance of sides effects) if you have a beard (unless you want to keep your whole beard, or you really want to avoid the progression of balding and several procedures)

Beauty is amazing, but health is beauty.

We don’t mention him anymore, on advice of legal counsel.

Ah alright, I'm new on the form, thanks letting me know

Of course you can, but it's easier if you're already a norwood 6, stable for years.

Now, if you were supposed to be a norwood 3 only and stay this way, then it is possible as well. But we can't know that. Maybe just guessing, looking at your dad's pattern, or other male family members.

Wayne Rooney has a decent result. I'm quite sure he doesn't take finasteride, so had to do several procedures but considering is high level of baldness, and his hair that looks really thin, you look at him now (many years after his first HT) and he doesn't look bald at all. His temple points were not reconstructed though so he could even enhance his result. He also most probably never used BHT, and he has a better beard than most men.

Different story for Nadal. I think his results for 2 procedures are quite disappointing, but this is "normal". He's mediterranean and got this typical diffuse thinning. The issue is that probably the fue he got "killed" all of his thinning native hairs so he might look as if not much has been done, but in reality, the hair he got now will not fall as it is from the safe zone. He will still need another procedure. I don't know about his beard.

This message is a test. I noticed that everytime I mentionned Dr W, my post was hidden.

There is also a supposedly possibility that you get necrosis.

I have no idea about what's true or not true, what just comes down to the skills of the surgeon etc

Obviously in term of failure / success, it is much better to fail with 1000 grafts procedure than 7000.

But is there more chance to fail BECAUSE of the giga session? I have no idea.

I was quite delusional at some point regarding this. Tried to avoid shampooing everyday, switched to sulfate free shampoo, shower filter etc In the end what I can say is that I know personally people who shampoo everyday with agressive type of shampoo, and they have no hairloss at all.

To sum up, this is not an issue.

I still use sulfate free shampoo but am shampooing everyday, as I noticed my hair have much more volume doing so.

Hello,

I'm new on the forum, but had already 3 hair transplant, all by FUE.

I would like your recommandations about the possibility, and if it is possible, where could I get an assessment to see how much transplanted hair are growing on the recipient, how much are still in the donor, and how much grafts were actually extracted (maybe by counting the fue scars).

Is it something that clinics do?

I didn't ask about it in my past procedures.

Thanks
