Give us a picture of your current situation. I am 99% confident that a coalition doctor can improve your situation.

No, protein powder does not cause hairloss. In fact, hairs consist of keratine, which is an amino acid - proteins are branches of amino acids!

I'm really sorry to hear that. Who was your doctor?

I don't know who this doctor is or whether he's any good, but there's nothing contained in your summary of the conversation which raises any red flags. It's good that you're shopping around though. It's vital that you choose a doctor based on reputation rather than convenience.

I don't see a red flag either, i might have misread parts of it the first time, but in all honesty we have so many coalition doctors - why gamble?

honestly i have to say that the picture on that link is not the greatest result. living in the 2000s id say that the billy idol look is out.. but thats just my opinion. yes i have been miserable since i had my hairtransplants. it has completely turned my life upside down..id love to have my hairline back to the way it was.. i actually had my hairline lowered close to an inch, i have plenty of hair on my head with no signs of baldness but my hairline was a bit high i thought so i had it lowered..big mistake. i wish i could find a way to remove them.

I think that you should consult with doctors from the coalition who specialise in repair work, but if you are not impressed by Evolutions HT then you never will be. His result is undoubtly one of the best there ever has been.

That looks great man - how many grafts did you get?

Definitely definitely DO NOT GO THERE.

Do not be a fool and choose a substandard clinic that may either give you terrible scars, lost donor or horrible plugs.

We have so many doctors in the coalition by now, that you are bound to find one if not in your country, your part of the world.

Do not let distance be the deciding factor (been there, done that)

You should probably research on Dr. Mohmand Humayun and Dr. Damkerng Pathomvanich which are based in Pakistan and Thailand respectively.

that last part is a myth.

That's a great approach i think, and it's only fair.

I'm currently waiting for some insurance money to arrive which can take weeks, so i'm holding off on scheduling with you, until i have them.

We will definitely see each other before the first week of december, that's for sure.

16Inch: I'm sorry, but i'm going to have to put up a mirror here - you are the one who needs to educate yourself, because you obviously had a tragic experience which has set ground for your conviction.

Lot's of people have great result from their hairlines, including myself, so your statement is untrue. Like Bill says, there are risks present, but they come with every surgery.

Julius: Funny you should mention this guy, i remember stumbling upon his results 1?? year ago and i still remember them clear as day. WOW what a result. This is a truly perfect result, although to his defense he did receive a big chunk of grafts.

Here is the link, i googled it: http://www.hairlosshelp.com/we...lution|gallery10.cfm

Thana: Thanks bro, that's exactly what i'm looking for. His hairline looks great, and if i could achieve this density i would be 100% happy.

Thank you for the nice wrap up. I'm happy to hear that the doctor i am going with soon, has received more positive reviews.

Please upload your pictures for the rest of us

I couldn't have said it better than Thana.

My personal sense of security are the following reasons:

1) I already have a NW5 diffuse pattern, and all the grafts have been placed within existing hair (minus the temples and sideburns) so if i am to turn a NW6, it will not look unnatural, just thinner. Likewise, they are centered around the hairline, and gradually decrease in density, like a HT should with limited donor (as framing the face is more important than densepacking the crown) i'm probably going to look like a man with a strong front and a weak back.

2) Should the unlikely happen, and i turn into a NW7, and do not have enough donor to support it, i can a) get a hairsystem, b) concealers c) shave down, have a nice smiley face on the back of my head which i actually do not care too much about.

3) Hair multiplication IS at somepoint going to be available. It's not something i'm counting on happening in the near future, but it's worth considering

So in the worst case scenario i will have enjoyed my youth with hair, and as i get in my 30's will have to shave my head twice a week and have a scar in the back of my head.

To me, that's a very acceptable and lowstake gamble.

Trust me, HT's have been a daily thought for me the last 4 years of my life, every corner of my mind have been ransacked as to whether i could live with the consequenses, and the answer has always been yes.

@Thana - really? I would think the opposite, but then again we are our own worst critics. I think my hairline is like a NW2-2.5, while yours appear a clear NW2, but like i said..

Well mate, the density is not perfect, but then again it looks better than 99% in here - including mine :-)

The density is not perfect.....the desnity is not perfect......what value does this comment add knowing "perfect" density is never possible given the limits of supply and demand?

This is one of the best results ever (as you did mention) but seriously, Im really confused as to what thought process went on through your head when assessing the value-added of that perfect density comment.

Thana, your hair looks AMAZING. When girls (or men if you are homosexual) look at your hair, I have no doubt in my mind they think WOW, THATS COOL HAIR.

I think you are misunderstanding. This is a great result, and if he leaves it like this i'm pretty sure noone can tell, because it looks natural.

But looking at the pictures, i think it does look like he has lost some native hair in the region in the past year or so. Thus it was more dense before. Therefore it is not 'perfect' anymore. That doesn't mean i'm suggesting him to densepack it with another 2000 grafts.

Perhaps you should do more research on what you are replying to, before insulting me and my thought process?

'Perfect' by all means is the illusion of perfection, and i have seen quiet a few post op's of a 'perfect' hairline. Thanas is still pretty close, but IMHO not quiet there.

Hey there..

23 year old, had two transplants at 21 and 22 and will be getting a 3rd in about 2-4 weeks.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask

Dear Dr. Mohmand

This is exactly the reply i was hoping for! Thanks for taking your time to do so, it reassures me that picking you as a doctor is definitely a good choice.

I should tell you though that the picture of the crown is taken while the hair is wet, as well as with a flash, and in harsh lights, so it looks worse than it really is. Having looked at maybe 500 pictures of peoples crowns, and how they look pre/post op, i am 99% sure that 1500 grafts would give me GREAT density.

But even just an improved density is satisfying for me.

But as you say, the question is whether i have enough donor.

I think the best sollution is to evaluate on the day of surgery how things look for me, how much donor i have, how my scar looks, and my hairloss pattern. After all the hairline is PRIORITY while the crown remains luxury, but a very nice luxury i really want.

Do you require shaving?

Hey guys. I'm currently still doing some research on hairlines in order to figure out how much i would need to achieve a good density. But i could use you guys helping me find some galleries, because my request is rather narrow.

Needs to have:

Fair hair - blonde or light brown

Caucasian

NW2 or 3

1000-2000 grafts

diffuse hairline, not a barren one

End result: Good/great density

Hairstyle: Not combover/anchorman

Here's a perfect example of what i'm looking for:

http://www.hairtransplantnetwo...tientID=1758&drid=46

thanks, and i will ofcourse do my own research meanwhile

I would love to, and while i am probably known for being aggressive in my approach, i do still want to make the right decition.

we all make mistakes balboa: But yes this is the actual hairline and im not happy with it, that's why i want a 3rd procedure. Nothing deceptive there's just not enough density. On the other hand the procedure really made my first frontal 2/3 solid, even with a flash i can't find any indication that i'm losing my hair so that's good! I definately consider the procedure a success.

Coligion: True, i am. Did your shockloss return? How long did it take? Shockloss so far hasn't been a concern for me even though i'm a diffuse thinner (which are usually the ones getting that) and as long as it's not permanent i don't mind even if it happens. But yeah 1000-1200 to the hairline should hotfix me for sure! Still, im very tempted to hit the crown. Very.

Looks really good man, so happy for ya. I think this time around you really hit it - hairline looks really dense and the crown looks more than acceptable - and let's not forget the growth is far from over, especially in the crown.

interesting - he has really short hair, yet the scar is barely noticeable now. Also, he had crown growth? Could it be medication?

Results like these confirms me that my aggressive approach isn't entirely reckless.

yeah i had them too, turned out to be a giant zit..

something like that yes, so it's quiet a significant difference..

I do not, no... all i know is that my scalp feels pretty lax still

Oh and how i would love to add grafts recklessly into the crown, trust me ;-)

I have, actually corresponded with dr. path, but he is twice as expensive as mohmand.

I think mohmand is the cheapest in the world?

No way bro. Lift weights to get biceps, do not get implants.

tak for tippet, det kan v?¦re jeg kigger p?? det
