Dr Zarev 11,941 grafts. 1st procedure 8,321, 2nd procedure 3,620
Benz replied to mtb's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
You look perfect, from 40 to 29. -
I agree with this last picture. Two thousand grafts are like an area of 66 cm2 with 30 grafts per cm. I hope they can extract more if needed. I think you should leave the temporal reconstruction and focus on both lateral sides + a decent connection with the frontal hairline. If some grafts are over left, they should use those for the frontal hairline to make it more symmetrical. Your donor might take a hit but you can always do an additional smp at a premium clinic which will improve the overall; significantly. Your hair skin contrast ratio is relative low which gives you an advantage.

Dr Couto | 1700 grafts | Sept 2022 | Crown | Confused
Benz replied to Prof101's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
I advise keeping your hair long, with no haircut, until you meet Dr Zarev. Keeping your hair long gives more information about the coverage/hair structure, which is essential. If you feel insecure about your hair and have a meeting with that woman before meeting Dr Zarev, you can use some premium concealers to decrease the balding effect. I hope this helps you take care. -

I hope that Dr Zarev can help you. For me, he is the number one doctor in the world. He showed me back then many incredible comebacks which I could never expect from any other doctor in the world. -

It looks perfect. You are going to be a solid NW 1-1.5. If they give you the option to do a touch-up in 9 months after the first procedure, do not hesitate and take it -
6 Months Oral Minoxidil Results
Benz replied to hairman22's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
You already made the best decision by choosing Dr Zarev. I recently (1 week ago) started with oral minoxidil after my second procedure with Dr Zarev. I currently use 2,5 mg oral minoxidil once a day Lonolox brand Pfizer. It's too early to talk about the sides. So far, I haven't noticed any side effects. I was lucky I never had any side effects with finasteride. I have been using oral finasteride since early 2021. So my current protocol is 2,5 mg minoxidil and 1 mg finasteride a day. -
Price way too expensive?
Benz replied to Tiago Martins's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
As a patient of Dr Zarev, I assure you no technician touched my head. He did all the extractions and implantations by himself. His current price is 5 euros per graft. -
Most of the time, there will be some trade-offs in hair transplant surgery. For example, I have curly hair with an average graft density of 65 per cm2. The curly hair helps with the coverage, but my hair-to-skin contrast is very high. I have dark curly hair, but as a trade-off, my skin, especially my face, is white for a Mediterranean/North African guy. If you are, for example, Scandinavian blond, your hair-to-skin contrast is lower, which can help you get a nice visual appearance.

You are an NW 1 for sure now Phenomenal result
-
He showed me some tough cases in which I can assure you no other doctor could reach a similar result. It's a different league.

I recently got my second procedure (2465 grafts). Before my first surgery (7235 grafts), I was between a Norwood 5A and 6. Looking nowadays in the mirror, I see a Norwood 1 with phenomenal donor management. His experience and technique allow him to extract significantly more grafts from the donor without any visual appearance. This gives him a huge competitive advantage compared to other doctors. He can make life-changing results for people who are NW 5,6 or 7 without even using beard grafts.

I might do that after the second procedure. For personal reasons, I don't feel comfortable yet putting my pictures on the internet. However, I understand others can benefit from it, especially by deciding to choose a surgeon. Dr Zarev put a lot of examples on his website. My hair type and diffuse thinning looks a little bit like this case https://www.hairtransplantation.bg/index.php/bg/event/4450-Grafts I have curly dark brown hair with an average donor density of 65 grafts per cm2, Mediterranean.

I started doing research in 2017 and looked at many physicians funny thing is that I am a physician myself. My biggest problem was that I was a diffuse thinner, so I needed an HT specialist to get the maximum out of my donor. I considered Couto, Lorenzo and Freitas back then, but my hair loss was progressive, so I was delaying it. Then in early 2021, a friend of mine who is a dentist was also researching and found a doctor called Zarev with phenomenal results on his website. His results blew me away, the best in the world. I never saw that kind of results before. So I immediately contacted him in early 2021 and did my consultation in September 2021. While I was waiting for my consultation, Hugo opened a thread about Zarev with a phenomenal result, this encouraged me much more. The consultation with Dr Zarev was very detailed. I had my surgery last July in 2 days he was able to extract 7235 grafts. The best money I ever spend!
