You get you pay for. Fee should not be the determining factor as to where you go. I do wish him luck wherever he goes. Atticus

I had a "V" shaped hairline which started receding at the temples. The problem with me was that it gave me a dracula/mickey mouse looking hairline. Dr. Umar fued the temples and hairline because the dracula look was a bit extreme, and it aged me by 10 years in pix. Check out my youtube video: I have seen Dr. Umar design "V" shaped hairlines in pictures/videos, within reason. Asthetics, skill and design are essential. These custom design requires artistry and the ability to make the design in accord with the anatomical facial structure. Some may have the skill, but the don't have artistry. Pick a doc who is an artist. Atticus

You can't go wrong with Dr. Umar. He is the top expert in FUE/head hair, nape hair and body hair. His results speak for themselves, as Bill has noted. Atticus

______________________________________________________________ These extreme repairs were done using a combo of head hair and body hair. Under the circumstances, which case do you think is not impressive? Of course, we all have expectations that are subjective, but I would say that it is reasonable to assume nonhead hair has made these patients very happy. Have a good one!

Tell her man!!!! She will think it is cool you are doing that to improve yourself. She will also probably flip out over moder day technology involved in hair trainsplanting. She'll be cool about it. Is she is not, find another girl.

Dr. Umar hands down. His documented videod results speak for themselves. I consider Dr. Umar to be best in FUE/BHT.

Great choice of doctor. Follow his after care instructions to the tee. Atticus

Hey Baldtom, I agree with Davis. Dr. Umar is the one who you describe below. He enjoys challenges, and will take cases others have not been able to deal with. Please see the examples below: http://www.dermhairclinic.com/patient-photos/update-fue-hair-transplant-beard-hair-add-density/ http://www.dermhairclinic.com/patient-videos/body-hair-transplant-nw-7-hair-loss/ Have a good one! Atticus

I say why not? You already know you are going to the best. :cool: You look good broheim!!!! Very happy. Atticus

Previously, you mentioned beard hair. Others have postulated that beard hair should be considered head hair. I would tend to agree. Now, beard hair does have a thicker diameter, which is good for some cases. For example, mixing in beard hair with some head hair, body, hair, etc. for a more natural look. Also, beard hair just keeps growing and growing, pretty much like head hair. See ya, Atticus

Has this Doctor ever heard of HIPPA? Posting your personal info. under your profile would probably get his or her licensed pulled. Any Doc that does this is asking for a HUGE lawsuit! Atticus :mad:

Yes, you hit the nail on the head. In my case, I had a certain amount of time I could not dye my hair prior to my ht., so I showed graying in my before pix. As soon as I could, after my ht, I dyed my hair. Having said that, I only use Hair Cycle colorants as it is much better/healthier on the hair, then say "Just for Men". Atticus

Thanks you so much for the kind comments irishsailor. I have not lost any nape hair, and if anything, it seems to get thicker as the years go by. For example, I like to have my nape area (back of the head area) cut and squared off when I go to the barber for a nice clean look. 3 - 5 days later I have to have my wife shave the neck/nape line area to keep the line looking good, or the nape hair grows out like crazy! Prior to selecting Dr. Umar, I did extensive research, consulted some other HT docs, etc. Let me give a few examples. One ht doc wanted to slice out a good sized chunk of scalp out of the back of my head via strip. That did not sound appealing to me. Another well known clinic whose name starts with an "A" quoted me a ridiculous amount of grafts at a crazy price, then kept hounding me via email and cell phone. But I digress. Anyway, no, I was not concerned about the nape hair being out of the "safe" zone. As a grad level graduate, and form doctoral level student, I am used to research, research, research!!!! So long story short, I am very happy with the selection I made. If anyone is in the SoCal area and would like to meet with me in person, just shoot me a pm. I don't mind. I would also like to thank this forum and it's members for helping me make a good decision. When I was a newer member, all my questions were answered without hestitation. Thanks to all for sharing your knowlege. Atticus

That's steep man. Did you pay by credit card? Atticus

Hey Paris, Some people get more dramatic at 6 - 7 months, some get more results between 6-12, or even up to 18 months in some cases. It's a little early to worry. Post some pix when you have a chance. Atticus

No way man!!!! I don't want to end up looking like Bella Lugosi. I haven't seen that mtv show, but I have seen those internet pix of people whose faces got really messed up from having so many facial surgeries. There is that artistrocat lady who ended up looking like a cat. No gracias. See ya, Atticus

I think people just do it because they actually don't realize they can be making someone self conscious. I am often surprised at some of the things people say to each other. Anyway, I would just laugh it off like it didn't bother me, because I felt if they got a rise out of me, they would bust my balls more. Having said that, nobody that wasn't my friend would call me these names. I think these guys were such good friends they didn't really mean any harm. As far as people I don't know? I usaully don't get messed with much. I am nice, but nobody steps on me (my Spanish blood can quickly come to a boiling point). Plus, I can roll with the best of em! Anyway. I lurked on many websites including this one, before becoming a member. I did visit a place in the newspaper that advertised really cheap, but the wanted to slice out a big old strip out the back of my head to do my hairline, I did not think that was a good idea, and they seemd like shysters. So, I did a consult with a place I am not sure I can name here, and they hounded my like door to door salesman. No thanks! I then studied, listened, read, and viewed video after video, picture after picture. I finally decided on Dr. Umar after seeing consistent documented results. When I met him in person, I knew there was no need to see anyone else. He was the one! He is kind and caring, is a perfectionist, and making the patient happy makes him happy. Have a good one!!! Atticus

Thanks guys. I appreciate the nice comments. Yeah, I am still friends with the guys that used to bust my balls. The funny thing is, the FUE came in so gradually, it wasn't a sudden change. I was having a bbq - jacuzzi type party at my house, one of my buddies said to me "Hey Dracula". Then his wife said, why do you call him that? Because of his hair. She took a close look and said to him "what the hell are you talking about, his hair doesn't look like dracula. He then looked really close, as if his eyes were fooling him, and said, "You must be styling your hair different or something". I also saw some of my cousins recently. They had not seen me for about 2 years. They kept looking and looking, but just couldn't figure out what was different about me. All they could say was "you look younger". It's all good now. Nobody calls me dracula or mickey anymore! Have a good one guys!!! Atticus

Hi everyone, It has been a while since I have been around. Unfortunately, there have been several deaths in the family, so I have been a bit out of it. I had/have received prior emails regarding better pictures of my nape hair ht work done by Dr. Umar. I apologize for not responding sooner. I think this was shot last year? I happened to find my ht video on Youtube the other day. Here you go: I have been extremely happy with my results. Atticus

Dr. Sanusi Umar has worked on quite a few African Americans. He is also AA. Not that the matters, but it probably helps in a better understanding AA hair. Dr. Umar is located in Redondo beach, and you won't end up with a scar. He does FUE. Atticus

You should have a top ht surgeon/dermatologist check. Dr. Umar would be the man.

That was my concern as well. Dr. Umar filled in my hairline, and it is undetectable as an HT. He goes to great length to assure natural looking results. This takes great skill and artistic ability. You are not looking for quantity, but quality. You want a surgeon who only does one HT at a time, not two or three at once. Good luck, Atticus

Hey man! Jotronic is still young. :cool: Atticus

I actually just emailed the gossip from today and wrote her an email telling her to drop the whole thing and not mention it to others. I told her it was wrong, and just plain mean. She actually emailed me back saying she felt bad and didn't realize how sensitive men are in these situations. Duh! She said she would drop it. And yes, I have avoided looking at his hairline. The title of my original post was asking for advice on how NOT to accidentally look at his hairline without thinking. Jotronic told me to look him directly between the eyes, and this is what I have done. Night guys, have to go lift some weights! Atticus

She will probably be fine with it. Just explain to her that the advancements in HT technology have come a long way from the "Doll head" look. If she is apprehensive, show her pictures from this forum as proof. Atticus
