microprose, isnt this your hairline after the previous work: http://www.hairsite2.com/images/microprose/after.jpg Your only 22/23 years old and the doctor just gave you an additional 2800 graft strip for the hairline? have you lost alot more hair or what happened? Was it lowered? where did he put the grafts?

Its obviously pluggy, and the doctor did a poor job. You've got alot more hair then me though, and probably most of us on here and I would just suggest comb it a little forward until you have it corrected. No need to wear a hat for 14 months as far as im concerned.

i think its fine after a month or so. Many feel the saltwater is beneficial for the skin & healing. I really dont think there is much you can do to really harm the grafts other then a bad sunburn. 6 months its defenitely fine.

we agree & disagree at times, and in this case, i'm with rugger i dont really like the pop-up window format to reply.

i'd say this is a bad result as far as Donor scarring goes: http://www.hairlosshelp.com/forums/attachments/superscar%2Ejpg

thats alotta grafts. in 2 weeks DHI have attempted to pass what jotronic did in 18 months as the record holder as far as i know.. by around 1800 grafts i believe. personally i am a big fue advocate but I think he should have been much more cautious. Im not that big of a gambler having been burned in the past. this will certainly make or break DHI at this point as far as credibility goes. They've certainly put their credibility on the line with this procedure. Remember world record attempts only garauntee alot marketing and publicity for the clinic, they dont necessarily garauntee anything else. I hope Lee gets a great result If he does, then DHI is tops.

wow, that looks like a first. FUE grafts from the Side burns?? I dont know about that. Its different & new thats for sure.

Why me, just stick with it. especially if its working. There are no garauntees in any medication, thats why it says "May" if hair treatments grew back hair like our regular hair garaunteed, then none of us would be on the transplant forum. best thing to do is stick with the med's for a while. Worst thing to do is quit if it appears to be working.

for 47 or 48 years old, 50 this year, i think he looks fine... yeah. his hair loss isnt that bad.

here's a more recent picture of david lee roth: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/040324/482/nyr10203241011 personally, i think he looks fine.. yeah his hairline has receded, but for a guy who is 47 years old in the photo above and 49 now, i think he looks pretty young & fine in the photo. andre aggassi has also gotten plenty of beautiful women. probably due to his fame and fortune then his lack of hair

I must say thats alot of ground to cover, with a limited donor supply. Personally i dont know, i made my reservations known before in the other thread. Its a 'big gamble' to do everything in one shot. your basically could be rolling the dice with your appearance for the rest of your life. if it turns out well, then great, if not the patient is basically stuck having used up his entire donor supply, maybe even used body hair donor supply in one sitting. Since the doctor/clinic have never done this before its an even greater risk. They are hardly the most experienced hands for FUE & as far as I am aware they dont have any before and after photos. My personally philosophy for all patients should be to minimize risk for maximum reward.. Be it procedures, which doctor/clinic you go to or whatever. There is also the trauma the head & body has to go through of 17,000 incisions. Those of you who had mega sessions with strip, think of it as 4-5 times what you went through in a week or so sitting. Of course we only hope for the best for the guy, but the chances and risks taken are of the extreme magnitude in my opinion.

Hey whoops,i read your website and update: http://www.whoops.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/id27.htm your saying the scars on top/the longest one measured 9 mm wide in some areas?!?!?! So the ones from the "well known" clinic was almost 80% wider at its widest point then the "unknown" clinic? is that what you measured?

Personally, I am a big proponent of FUE as everyone may or may not know. I also try to be fair minded as best i can. i think this is a mistake and very high risk procedure to do in my opinion. Of course i hope this procedure is successful, and Lee has a great result. He's a great participant on the forums, and I am only questioning this higher risk, very aggressive procedure. In my opinion, i think thats very Risky to do all at once. 8000 pokes to the body in one way or another.. Actually its 16,000 pokes and incisions to the head and body total since there is 8000 placements, so it is 13,000 to the head, and 3000 to the body. If you add in transection it will be close to or even more then 17,000 incisisions to the head and body over a few days?, or even weeks time? is an extreme measure i believe. Is that safe? In my opinion he's basically a guinea pig, since they've never performed this type of large procedure before as far as im aware. If you never performed a large world record, and you've only been doing a technique for a few months, by defenition you are a "big experiment", that You pay for with money. Can DHI please give us some medical science and data to back up 16,000-17,000 incisisons to the head & body in a relatively short period of time as even Safe to do ? i believe thats alot of trauma to the head and body to sustain. Also DHI does not have one FUE before and after photo that i've seen. If they do they are few and far between at best. I havent seen any. They've only been at FUE for a few months since last summer. Has anyone seen a before and after from DHI for FUE? they've only been at it for what 6 months? & learned from Dr Jones? The final result that is & the patient himself will have used up his entire head and probably entire body hair donor supply/no chance for repair or anything if the surgery goes wrong or whatever/yield is low, who knows...? if its perfect then great. I would consider DHI for fue, but never such huge risks & gambles from a clinic that is basically inexperienced with FUE at this point. i hope everyone realizes these forums and surgeries arent games and the goal is not to one up your other participants on serious medical surgeries. the goal is not to set world records, or see how many you can do per day in mega sessions strips or fue. You dont get anything better out of that by setting records, the clinic does for marketting and publicity purposes. The Bigger the record is the more money you pay, and the more money the clinic makes from publicity. You dont necessarily get a better result at all. Your only goal should be you get quality care and quality results, with minimal problems, be it take 1 day or 10 years to do. there is so much B.S in the forums at times, that it can cloud some judgement i guess. I wish him the best, but he's taking some incredible chances i think. If you read my previous posts, you'll see i said the free surgeries from DHI was a great idea, and i applauded them for that, but this type of aggressive surgery i believe is a very bad idea.

thats some announcement Whoops. Have you become a consultant now for Dr Jones? You have been to the best strip doctors in the world, and i'll just say one of the self-proclaimed leaders in north america for FUE. Can you tell us the pros & cons of FUE and Strip since you yourself, are one of the few, who have had both ?

One interesting note is that the article says Minoxidil and Propecia account for $100 million each in sales, yet transplants are a billion a year??
