I did 6 or 7 consults, only 2 were paid consultations. I found in.person better because the doctor was able to do a more thorough exam on the hair using a detailed camera like microscope. Do the best you can, if you have local doctors, talk with them F2F. My two cents...

I found the paid consultations to be more thorough and detailed. My experience is to pay for consultation and to do the consultation in person, if possible.

congratulations. Looks great.

Looks great. Is the patient on meds? which ones?

Thanks for the comments. Going private.

Hi, On a slightly separate note, are you happy with the appearance of the beard hair on the scalp? Any other thoughts on the beard to scalp transplant? Are you still able to grow a full beard? I am going in next week for 2,500 Beard to scalp transplant and 1,000 scalp to scalp HT. I already had 4 previous HT going back to the mid-1980s. Thanks for your response.

looks great! congrats!

I think it is looking really good, congratulations. It will keep getting better and better. How did the beard heal? Any complications with BHT? Can you tell the difference between beard hair and scalp hair? I am going in next week for my 5th HT, 3 punch methods performed in late 1980s and a FUT in late 1990s. Doctor expects 1,000 from scalp and 2,500 from beard. Wishing you the best!

Wow, looks fantastic. Congratulations. Would you please share your Norwood Scale. Were you a NW 6? Thanks and enjoy your vacation!

Congratulations Melvin! What an incredible journey. Very happy for you! Regarding the beard to scalp transplant, how long did it take for your face to feel normal? Any numbness around jaw?

Hi, no I did not have the cobblestone issue. I had other issues due to the fact my first hair transplant was performed in the 80s. I had a follow up procedure around 2000 and the doctor did an excellent job camouflaging the previous issues from the 1980 procedures. I was amazed at the results they were able to achieve.

Hi, so sorry to hear this news. Hang in there as there is hope. You may want to speak with Dr. Gujrati in San Francisco as he has a background in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, before switching 100% to hair transplant. He may have some ideas. He provided a fantastic consult for me.

@BeerBoyany updates to share? Thanks so much.

Great write-up, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your future posts and results. Wishing you the best.

Thanks so much for sharing your journey. The results look great. This is a great community and really appreciate the comments. I had my first HT 30+ years ago, with the old 4mm punch method. Going back in next month for a 3500 FUE (1k scalp, 2500 beard). Like you, I have a thick beard, which is a real blessing. Thanks again 🙏
