Is there any reason every hairtransplant grows up straight? Isn't that missing out on an opportunity to give a better illusion of density? I still have my hairline and my hair point away from my head and the angle lets smaller till the almost straight in centre, then similar pattern on the other side.

Yes it’s the way your incisions were made unfortunately. Instead of replicating a natural angulation some places do that which typically isn’t how our hair grows. But I really thought the Johnny bravo example was dead on and also made me laugh. 

Picture of the guy

It seems to be one of those people who does not work and does this for money. Sad also sad police believed him enough to make an arrest he must be a good con-artist. 

Yes you got it.

Oral minoxidil in the United States originated as a blood pressure med. it’s a vasodilation medication. Side effect was amplification of hair all over the body. So being a women not the best side effect. Medical community then went with your topical version for hair and put it on the self as a bp medication. Issue with topicals is absorption factor we don’t know how much absorbs on person a versus person b and it can rapidly change. What you are experiencing is your vessel are opening and relaxing to allow more blood oxygen to flow. Do not recommend for females unless you are FTM. For women there is another blood pressure medication that is wonderful but very bad for men. I am not a physician always seek medical advice from your provider. This medication is not for everyone and needs to monitored by a provider abs deemed safe with one’s medical history. 

To my knowledge the crown has less blood flow then the frontal vertex. It always come in slow and can be up to 6 months behind the front. Best thing I’ve seen again not sure what country you are in see if the clinic you went to can prescribe you oral minoxidil will help speed things up for you.

July 26, 2022:  Day 1.

I am relaxing in the hotel,  spraying the grafts with ATP spray every hour.  
 

I included a photo from directly after the surgery and photos from today.  (1 day after surgery.  There is a little shine from the spray.    The donor area is a bit tender,  but not really painful.   I have only taken ibuprofen since surgery.  
 

Photo after surgery. 

 

The next day,  not quite 24 hours. 

Everything has been great so far,  and I am very appreciative of this site for helping to make a great choice on a doctor. 
 

 

It does look great.

I agree. Same here.

Well everyone can cheer up. They never stopped operations. Being in the industry this is one of the few honest companies left. If the cops saw anything wrong or illegal they would have closed them down pending court and they didn’t. They also are supportive of other companies in other countries and they aren’t trying to close down competition like you see on large chain companies websites. I just want to make this clear that ISHRS is a non profit organization it does not have any regulatory authority in the US. So this individual is out for money, or paid by a competitor. Just my two cents. I look forward to the day things are regulated like medi spas or tattoo artist  as they would be one of few still around. It would also deter this from even being a possibility. There are only certain number of sub specialities in medicine in the and hair surgeon isn’t one in the US honestly no such thing so anyone that is a doctor can say they are a hair surgeon.

I’m sorry I was just upset as I watched Danielle grow up she is a wonderful person and has over come a lot of things. She has been through a lot and puts up With a lot of unnecessary things due to her gender and she was a model for 15 years. My name is Adam I’m an independent hair technician. I was trained back in the late 90’s by Linda. I do know someone that works at one of their offices so I know what’s going on. But what this person did is sad. They always have a provider there. Linda is the most accredited hair technician I know. I’m interested to see if the case even makes it to court.

This is seriously impressive for less than 3k grafts. Growth is super high.

It is very impressive! large area to cover. I can’t tell but patient looks like he has finer hair texture as well.

I will clarify myself - I don’t have an anemia, the results are at the valid range, but at the low limit. No Iron deficiency. This is the state since I was a little kid. My INR is valid. 
What do you think?

I would check Tibc, ferritin, FE plus cbc. If you always have been on lower end of normal that may just be your makeup not necessarily detrimental to your hair transplant but have you sent your results to the clinic you are going to? Share your concern with them as well.

Hi,

I took a blood test, and the results show that my Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, and RBC levels are pretty low, reaching the lower limit of valid values. This has been the case throughout my life, and there's nothing new about it.

I'm concerned if this will negatively affect my hair transplant result in terms of blood supply etc. Is it related? Should I proceed with the procedure or not?

You may just have a cold. If it’s in the low end of normal if you are concerned you can repeat a standard cbc. Certain meditations may cause this and various other things. Those levels bounce around as well repeat in 2 weeks a cbc to rule out lab error. Discontinue biotin 10 days before labs sometimes it causes a false positive reading. But I would not worry about it unless it’s consistently low.

Dear Community,

While I personally don’t care if someone knows I’ve had a hair transplant, it’s understandable some of you may want to keep that private.

I strongly suggest creating a unique username that isn’t distinguishable or verifiable, do not divulge any personal information. This includes using the same screen name across multiple sites online, or using a unique nickname as your username. 

Remember it is your responsibility to protect your privacy and anonymity. Anything you post here will be indexed on Google. Therefore, someone googling your username could find your posts. Hopefully, we can move past feeling embarrassed about restoring your hair. We’re not committing any crimes or doing anything shameful. 

Melvin,

I can not send you private message. Wanted to apologize. I’m going think about identifying myself. I’m a senior  independent hair technician. Linda is actually one of the people that trained me. She pioneered lateral slit technique. If I can message you privately I can explain in better detail. Good post by the way. Your topics and content are great.

Wow, what’s the story on her getting popped. This rarely ever happens in the HT industry.

Melvin,

can you not read. Does it say convicted or charged? Clearly this forum had no moderation. Legally nothing in here is accurate at all. Linda has a x husband and her company and his have not had any affliction in 20 years. She was also a victim of his crimes and so was their child. So what Is this? No one person in here had provided one image of anything. Everyone knows that hair techs do most of the work in fue. This is similar to seeing a dentist. Can any of you name a clinic where your doctor is removed the fues? No because there is no such thing. The bbow person is grade a stalking this company. It’s also come to me knowledge he has pressed fake charges against Linda and lied about no doctor. But that wasn’t true. In addition he has made false charges with the Dea and board of medicine and he is going to be charged with multiple felonies. Show us your pictures prove it! To me this is one the poorest moderation sites I have seen. One can’t help what their x did especially when they have not been married for 20 years. This is also sad. Why would a company be over 30 years old? To me this sounds like a bunch of people posting about an unaffiliated company and hating on a person that was related once by marriage over 20 years ago. In addition not one person complaining has provided one image . Anyone can be charged with a crime do all of you not have any knowledge of criminal system. It says charged. Not convicted and to post one mug shot shows how much of a low life that individual is who is going to be very screwed for false charges. This literally needs moderation and everyone in here seems to have a severe lack of basic knowledge. You can look up tax Id verify all of it your self and you can see the bbow individual all of this company. You have a stalker and angry people from another company. Why don’t one person stating Amy of this post a before and after. If the cops went into a clinic with no doctor they would close it pending court case. Bbow had called the news stations abs every time someone there. Maybe everyone so go get a job and a life and show images of your recipient area. Any posting about colorado or Vegas need to come out of this thread not related. This is a hate group of unstable people. 

Again not one person has showed one before and after. How can one believe anything. I was able to verify there is no relationship between the companies tax IDs for 20 years. I’m starting to think this forum is biased as no moderation and assumptions. Looks like soliciting
