  1. I assume this amazing result was with Dr Sethi's flagship package, right? What was Dr Sethi's involvement with this case? Did he perform everything himself (planning, design, incisions, extractions, implantation)? If there were techs involved, what did they do exactly for this case that Dr Sethi didn't?
  2. Neither Pekiner or Zarev have accounts here. Either way, don't want to derail this thread more.
  3. Visit his website, it has lots of cases, all of them with hundreds of high resolution pictures. This one alone has 218 pictures, all of them super high quality: https://www.hairtransplantation.bg/index.php/en/results/event/results/11370Grafts
  4. I don't agree. He doesn't have any high quality, standarized after pictures to judge his work properly, just low quality patient selfies. Once he uploads 20+ cases with detailed presentation like Munib Ahmad or Zarev, then we can talk.
  5. I prefer Munib Ahmad's work. His pictures are of better quality and has plenty of videos combing the hair with close ups that show everything perfectly. I had Konior on my top 5 until I saw this combing video: Looks somewhat pluggy to me compared to this: IMO once you see the combing videos, Munib Ahmad is clearly better. The higher resolution pictures also help a lot. I don't think there's a better hair transplant surgeon than him tbh.
  6. Great podcast. The screen sharing is amazing. Really like how meticulous he is, even his camera + microphone setup was of great quality. Love the detailed, high resolution pictures from the same angles, this should be the standard for every surgeon. The high quality pictures, zoomed in while he explained where amazing and make a tremendous difference compared to just words.
  7. Important update: Do not consider a temple transplant before trying finasteride + minoxidil, specially if you are low norwood. This is my before and after, 2 and a half months using 1mg oral finasteride+5mg oral minoxidil daily. I don't remember having temples this big before, and hairline corners are also filling in nicely. Before After: Looking at my pics when I was younger, I wanted a temple transplant. Now, after seeing my new temples, I'm very happy and don't want one. If the corners continue to fill at this pace, I should have a hairline like Tom Cruise's in a few months 0_0 Keep in mind that most temple transplants are very evident, because the hairs implanted are usually thicker than the native ones and look off unless hair is longer than 1cm, so this is a huge achievement. Try taking fin + minox for a year before considering a transplant, you might be surprised with the outcome. I couldn't be happier with my progress.
  8. Favorite Five HT Doctors* 1) Munib Ahmad (Fuegenix): has the best results I've ever seen, extremely detailed and honest presentation of his cases, is not afraid but proud about showing very high resolution pictures of his work and is active on the forum. For me, he is the best hair transplant surgeon in the world and definitely my choice for my future hair transplant. 2) Zarev: best option for high norwood patients, with extremely detailed and honest presentation of his cases, featuring plenty of high resolution pictures. 3) Couto: natural results, great hairline designs, good presentation of his work (not perfect like Munib Ahmad or Zarev but good). Love his emphasis on temples and his sense for aesthetics while providing natural looking results. 4) Feriduni: great, natural results with good and honest presentation of his cases, albeit pictures in lesser quanitity and not as high resolution (but still good) as Munib Ahmad or Zarev's. Skilled with temple work too. 5) Konior: I think his results are as good as Feriduni's, same with the presentation of his cases. I'm putting him 5th because he reportedly is more expensive than Feriduni and Couto while providing similar quality work (to my eyes). Worst 1) Any hairmill, but Chris Don Mctyre is a scumbag of the highest order. Proves that you don't need to go to Turkey to find a hairmill. Search for "ReGrow Hair" and "Chris Mctyre" here and prepare to be horrified. Also related to him were "James Boland" and "Colorado Surgical Center". Dude is not even a hair transplant doctor, yet says he is one (just for starters). Most Overrated 1) Pekiner: I don't understand how people say he is one of the best without having honest, high resolution pictures taken with a camera (not a smartphone) of his work to judge properly. I don't say he is bad, just that the many pictures available are not good enough to say him (or anyone presenting pictures of such quality) is good or bad. He is recommended here a lot, that's why I think he is overrated (will change my opinion, or not, after seeing high quality pictures constantly, like the ones the doctors in my top 5 provide for every one of their cases). Most Underrated 1) Munib Ahmad (Fuegenix): he is providing the best results with the highest quality pictures constantly and people think he is a future promise or something like that...he is the present, you don't need to wait 30 years to know it, just a pair of eyes. Best Value 1) Mwamba: natural results, good presentation of his work (not perfect like Munib Ahmad or Zarev but good). Has the best beard to beard transplant results I've seen too, I think he is a very complete and safe option, and IIRC costs 3€ per graft + VAT. Not cheap but cheaper than the other surgeons I've mentioned while still providing very high quality, natural results. Of course, this is just my opinion, don't take it as gospel. I have no intention to offend anyone, sorry if I did.
  9. Exactly. He provides some of the most detailed, consistent, high resolution pictures out there, yet some people doubt his results, but believe other surgeons' with low resolution, phone pictures 😅 He is truly a top tier surgeon, no need to see more results to know that. If anything, most surgeons should publish 20-30 Norwood 7 cases like him (with the same picture quality) to be able to compare fairly. I don't think there's a better choice out there than him for high Norwood people.
  10. It's a phone quality video posted by a patient, light in the 12 months result is a bit low and can't see much. The clinic has to post standarized, before and after pictures by itself, so anyone can judge the results consistently and accurately. I wouldn't go to any place that doesn't have before and afters taken with a proper camera, same lighting, angles, hair dry, wet and slicked back, regardless of reputation, price or endorsement.
  11. I would like to see higher resolution pictures of the results before giving my opinion. Can't recommend anyone without seeing HD close ups, with the hair wet and dry and slicked back, all taken from the same angles with the same lighting as the befores with a proper camera (which is not expensive, 500€ buy a pretty good one) and not a phone.
  12. Oh I see, do they cast the spell like this: "don't take finasteride, everything is fine, 3€ per graft" While dancing, reciting some turkish poem and throwing salt to a picture of a MtF transgender?
  13. I hope you are being sarcastic, albeit with your finasteride comments I highly doubt you have such a mental capacity. Will give you the benefit of the doubt either way and assume it is sarcasm.
  14. Laughed hard at norwood 3 ngl I do agree that I'm closer to Norwood 2 tho, that's why finasteride is so important. It's very likely you'll continue to bald after the transplant without taking fin, and that looks much worse than being bald, just saying.
  15. No no, I'm heterosexual. You OTOH were a bottom for Asli Tarcan 👍
  16. Says the dude that bringed up Mtf transgenders many times into a normal, hair oriented finasteride conversation. You seem obsessed with trans and envious of Norwood 1 people that preserve their hair with medications, like any sane person would do. Best luck out there for you too.
  17. I'm laughing while typing. A very stable behaviour. Can hear you both crying from here tho. Enjoy the balding, just stop losing time and delete the accounts here. Be more "masculine" without hair. Women love men with hair the most, so ironically homosexuality is much nearer from you than me.
  18. Surgeons recommended here probably spend more on publicity to advertise their work on HRN. Those hairmills just buy followers and pay IG to advertise, it is actually quite cheap. Is just a facade of success to lure you into going there because "everyone goes". A celebrity will just see the number of followers and go there, fame does not correlate with resourcefulness or research.
  19. Like talking to a wall, you hyperfocus on the sentence and can't see the context. As I said before, the conversation ends now. You already made up your mind and clearly are unable to understand the most basic contexts of a conversation, so it is a waste of time to argue with you.
  20. Let me put it this way for you. Imagine a man going to a hardware store, where you are an employee. The man tries to buy an screwdriver, and you say to him: So you are a NASA engineer, they use that tool a lot. He responds: No, is just to fix the kitchen's sink. And you say: yeah but for the NASA, they use it a lot. That would be pretty similar to our conversation with regards to finasteride and transgenders, just complete nonsense without context coming from you.
  21. You are just given an inch and taking a mile, using extreme examples out of context to justify you not taking finasteride. Repeat with me, son: 1mg of finasteride per day won't turn you into a MtF transgender (they take 5+mg per day in addition of more potent hormones, like estradiol, in addition of undergoing feminization surgeries). Here's one MtF transitioner saying you are not going to feminize without taking estradiol, regardless of how much fin you take: TL;DR: get on fin, you are already feminine if you notice "feminization" and just blame it on fin instead of yourself (nothing wrong with being feminine, just don't blame fin).
  22. LMAO if you think 1mg of finasteride per day is going to turn anyone into a woman. Peak strawman argument. Stop embarassing yourself, I'll do you a favour and end this conversation now.
  23. Muh hormonal health, side effects are non existent in 99% of people, and if they happen, they stop after 2 months of continued use. If you take the meds at night, the effects are most potent while sleeping and barely noticeable in the day. Being worried about hair loss and not taking meds is stupid, no matter how you want to put it. This forum always speaks of being conservative with hair, but many members reject the most conservative option: taking hair meds while having minimal if any hairloss. Instead, most wait to reach Norwood 4-5 to take meds and pay one or two transplants to be Norwood 2-3 (in a best case scenario where they aren't botched). Btw it's not about going to the most expensive doctors (there are bad and expensive ones), is about going to the best doctors, and those are always expensive. The less hair you need (thanks to meds), the less you have to pay. There's no such a thing as a "good enough doctor" btw, those are just mediocre with low resolution pictures so you can't tell how bad the work actually is. Everyone's balding is different, and they have to take meds to stop it. If not, shaving the head or buying hair system are an amazing option and much more fitting than a transplant. It is what it is.
  24. Definitely, it is what gives the highest chances of regrowth. I'm Norwood 1.5 and take 1mg oral finasteride + 5mg oral minoxidil per day before going to sleep. I'm 9 weeks into that regime and experience 0 side effects, beard is much stronger, eyebrows look fuller already (very welcoming effect for me). Hairline still is too early to judge. Can't wait for a year to pass and see the definitive results.
