Hello... I asked you before but have you ever used hair fibers with sea salt spray? If so, would spray go 1st then fibers or vice versa? Thanks

Hello.. Is Dr . Vinita still at RS.75/a graft ? Thank you

@Melvin- Admin Is it possible to use sea salt spray and hair fibers together on dry hair? If so, do you use the sea salt spray first? Thank you

Is it possible to use them together? If so do I sprinkle the fibers on first, then spray the sea salt spray on ? Could some explain the process ..Thank you

Same day photos. 7.5 months after TP currently . definitely not redness from transplant.. but one can see line scars at the bottom from old punch graft transplants that SMP can't cover entirely. :/... But nobody has to worry about the old style punch. It sucked

1st photo? If you are referring to this , this was Yesterday, 7.5 months after latest TP

12s. Sorry that's the best photo I have. It's seems that my Doc didn't go exactly where you circled as I didn't have much hair there

12S. Maybe my doc didn't extract exactly from that space. Over the ears yes. I'll look at my photos

So Gatsby is frowning and Melvin is very weary of a clinic that they are fawning over on a regular basis.. I gave Eugenix a total history and video chat. I told them exactly what I wanted. Told them they could use all my sides and back scalp/ beard. Go nuts! They had no problem. $$ over ethics?? Who knows. But I have no complaints with the high package doc who did it or the clinic. I recommend! I won't name the doc and probably won't go back to them since this docs package doubled in price in less than a year and it's a long trip from middle of the US. BTW Sethi wasn't my primary doc .It was just a photo

No problems. Haven't heard of that before and I went to one of the highly touted clinics on here

And no I personally won't be able to grow a beard after 3000 beard grafts taken. A gotee yes but can't be bother with either. Maybe you have a thick beard . My was on the normal/ average side

We are in the same boat it seems with old punch graft transplants combined with the new style transplants. Yes I'm happy with the beard graft in the mid and crown mixed with scalp hair. I can feel the difference and for me it feels thicker and will provide the density. I'm 8 months into 2000 beard grafts and will use maybe 1000 more on the last tp. Also the beard area healed in less than a week and zero scaring. But Im not sure it would look good longer than a couple of inches( 5cm) . It would look like a brillo pad cause mine is thick/ wirey . To each his own

Well I haven't had anyone say anything about the illusion of SMP on my sides and back in 3 yrs except my mom. Haha. Good SMP seems to work in most cases besides direct light, so then it might appear like normal skin I suppose. Turkey is what I'm set on since the last well known clinic on here that I went to, is so far from me and my doc's package there has increased too much recently for basically drawing the hairline(done) and making the slits, though I had a good experience overall there. Anyway, I will update with photos , progress, etc regarding this "project"

Well, I'm not sure what you mean by "people who look twice......." I basically shave what's left of my sides and back of head with a razor every 2 days now smooth. I guess there are only about 1000 good grafts left. Even after those say 1000 grafts are taken in the final TP, along with 700 to 1000 beard grafts, one could feel a little stubble still I assume, but not much. What you are seeing in the photos above is SMP on the sides and back and basically all transplanted on top. But with fin and minoxidil taken daily for 8 months now, hard to tell if it's the drugs helping or just transplants.To add to the confusion, 4700 grafts were transplanted by a well known respected clinic on here, 8 months ago. But I still feel I will need the additional TP of around 2000 grafts for more density. I am/was a nw6 or 7. Time will tell over the next few months .This random photo here would be the ultimate goal, no more needed.

Also, if you look closely at my 1st photo , I have very little scaring iñ after 5000+ grafts taken from a crap punch graft method TP years ago and the more recent TP. The SMP and possibly good work from a clinic we are familiar with helps, I imagine. No worries

I do have some graft left yes. But not enough to fully grow my sides and back out. It would look quite spotty I imagine. BTW, I have shaved my head for the past 20 yrs+ (military retired now) I don't miss the sides and back. Just like to grow the top out now 4 to 5 cm.

A_4_Archan.. Spot on. I might as well use the little graft I have and shave anyway plus some beard graft for a last TP which will fill nicely when it's grown out to a max of 2 inches(5cm) on top Gatsby@ I have no scaring from previous beard graft and recent TP. I do have some minor scaring from my 1st transplant yrs ago hidden pretty well with SMP. A little scaring will be the least of my worries when I'm 70+ in twenty yrs. Haha. Regarding your comment about surgeons, my last one didn't have a problem using my 2ND to last thousand or so scalp donor when I ask them to do it. Are you frowning now? 🤨

About 2500 more

I've had 2 previous transplants (2006 USA and 2021 Turkey) and because of the 1st TP used the old punch graft technique and bad hair genetics, I don't have much donor on the sides and back left. The last TP in Turkey used 1200 graft from beard and 3000 scalp. So maybe 7000- 7300 total grafts between the two TP's. My question is if a doctor could use another say 1200 beard grafts and use the rest of my sides and back ,1300 ,for a total of 2500 graft to add density to my front and mid? I have SMP and would be using basically all that's left of my sides and back and most of beard. I don't want to grow a beard and would keep my back and sides shaved, like I've done now for 15 yrs+. I currently keep it short due to low density on top.So I'm literally asking a doc to use whats left of my sides and back .Could I find a doc in Turkey to agree to my "unethical" request? Thank you

Looks good. Is Dr Somesh at 75 or 125 IR a graft? Thank you

I had 4200 grafts in hairline and mid. The grafts starting growing in at month 5 . Since end of month 7, nothing new or even tiny hairs breaking through. Always thought I'd need a 2nd transplant of 2000 or so since the grafts averaged 2 hairs and 1500 were single beard grafts. Will a clinic do 2000 or so after 9 months? Thanks

Hi.. I had a hair transplant of 4400 grafts in the US a couple years ago and since my donor is pretty weak I was thinking about using a mix of scalp/ beard for more density..But I'm looking at going abroad for a more economically transplant this time. Anymore can recommend a Doc that will use beard transplant to scalp for density? Thank you
