*As I’m writing this, I’m 8 days post-op Hey fellas, I hope you all are doing well. I’ve decided to share my hair transplant journey with you guys. About 2 weeks ago, I had a transplant performed by Dr. John Diep in Los Gatos California. I decided to go with him because he specializes in curly hair. As a black man, I couldn't go with a regular surgeon. Another user by the name of “Norman Osborne Waves” inspired me to share my journey. I’ve decided to play my part and help my fellow brothers out. I won’t reinvent the wheel, I’ll more or less use Norman’s template to share my journey -
Hello everyone, After much thought and consideration i have decided to share my Hair transplant journey. I first initially noticed my hair loss at the age of 26 which started off mild with the receding of my hair line and thinning of hair behind it . By the age 30 it had advanced to a more aggressive form and i began to seek help. My head is naturally large so a receding hairline with thinning shows pretty bad. I begin my search for help in 2018 after searching all over the country i ran across Dr Diep and his Famous YouTube videos, Also DR Diep has been proven to be a specialist for AA m -
Age 26, Norwood ~3V + retrograde + diffuse thinning (including donor) Medication: dutasteride 0.5mg/day, foam minoxidil 1-2mL/night Hair characteristics: high contrast with skin, fine, straight Cost: 2.15 euros/graft which is a discount from 2.25 euros/graft because I agreed to provide them anonymized photo updates for their own use. Posting this thread is my own choice. Though, I wish clinics would offer discounts for patients to post threads from start to finish. I see nothing wrong with that. Also, I think the price has gone up recently. Hair loss timeline: 18 - Looking back at -
Background: 28 years old with a NW2 type recession and very mild thinning in the crown. Family history: Mother’s side has great hair genetics (her father and brother had a full head of hair well into their late years), MPB present with my father and his late father, however, slow and gradual loss, my father is 65 and has more so thinned throughout the top rather than lost hair. I don’t have siblings, and my first cousin who I share my grandfather with from dad’s side, is 36 years old and shows no signs of thinning. * Important to note - I believe that looking at family history could be r

Well folks I finally took the plunge after Holding off for about 25 years . A little background about myself, I’ve first notice thinning around my mid 20’s . I’m almost 50 now. I remember having a blind date and all she thought was the younger me without the hair loss. When she met me , She asked where all my hair went... awkward situation but she ended sticking with my for a year nonetheless. Later on I started finasteride and was able to keep the hair that I had dated more women and got married . When I got married I stayed off finasteride due to side effects . After the divorce in 2 -
Hey all, after following along on this forum for the last couple months I thought I'd share my experience here as well. I just got my FUT procedure done yesterday with Dr. Diep and I'm pumped to start seeing results in the coming months. A little background, I started noticing thinning and a receding hairline in my early 20s. I've been using minoxidil for about 5 years with limited success, the purported side effects of finasteride always had me too scared to give that a try. I'm 29 now and finally went ahead with a procedure after getting to relatively advanced hairloss, Dr. Diep said I w -
Journey & Decision After thorough research, I decided to pull the trigger and get a HT at Shapiro Medical Group with Ron Shapiro and Dr. Josephitis/Dr. Joe. SMG spent many hours over the phone with me and answered all my questions. I emailed Ron Shapiro directly and Matt Zupan (Patient Educator), and they always addressed all of my concerns/follow-ups. Matt called me very frequently to check up on me and has pretty much become a friend at this point. The front office staff, Matt Zupan (Patient Educator), and everyone involved wanted to make sure that I had the best care. -
Hello Everyone, This will be my 1 Month update to My Fue Procedure done February 2, 2021 by Dr. John Diep . Yes as you can see the shedding has begun 😢. It started about 10 days ago. It looks like things are worst then before. Im experiencing some shock loss in transplanted area. The donor areas are recovering great. I know this is a journey so i haven't started to panic yet but i must say im anxious to see how things will work out. I still have some sort of hair line which is ok i guess. I do see that there are some hairs that survived the shedding possibly. Let me know if you have

Let me start by saying that Dr. Diep does not perform place the grafts!! EDIT: From discussion, seems that 90% of clinics, the surgeon does not place the grafts. Assistants do this. And it is standard operating procedure. The above sentence has been updated accordingly as is the post's title. From what I can relate his asstants do it. I'll detail the rest of this process here with pictures and my objective thoughts (insomuch as I can be) here for any others. The jury is still out and I'll reserve the recommendation for others to go to Dr. Diep once I get to through the 12-month post -
Today puts me at my one week mark of my procedure with Dr Diep. I had a wonderful experience with not only Dr Diep but with the tech and staff members. The day started at 545 am. The nurse took my vitals and had me change into a gown so they can have me prepped and ready. Few mins later I see Dr Diep enter the office and I hear him say “Let’s Rock” the nurse took me into Dieps office so he could explain everything regarding the surgery and give me some pain pills. Dr Diep and I chatted for a few mins and joked about buying tickets to Mega million lottery that was happening that week. Jo

Hello Everyone. I've been lurking for awhile and just recently had a transplant performed by Dr. Diep. I wanted to document my journey and give a very transparent review of my experience so far. There doesn't seem to be as many experiences documented for those of us from African descent... this is my way of doing what I can to change that. I might type a lot so I'll try to break up the posts by time frame. Also, I'm new here so if I break any rules just let me know. I'm not sure how everything works here. Research/Consultation and Scheduling phase Dr. Diep first came on -
Hello All, I cant believe I made it to the 1 year mark and could not be happier with my results. I have posted my journey here on the forums so please refer back to my older posts to follow along. I have been absent for the past 6 months because I wanted to just let my hair grow and allow everyone to see the difference. With that being said here is my backstory: I have been slowly loosing my hair starting in my early 20's. My hair dresser started to notice my heair was thinning but I thought nothing of it until several years later. HInd sight beeing 20/20, I would have started rogain w

Dr. Diep FUT session with 3900 grafts

Your donor area looked just like mine. Typical for the area to look thin with all the bacteria ointment. Dr Diep has a video where he explains all this in great detail. I would just focus on keeping the area clean with the specific shampoo the office gives you. You can transition to baby shampoo. Once the grafts are secure on the 8th day it becomes a much smother ride. -

Also, do you guys have any tips for itchiness in the recipient area? I was a little surprised Dr. Diep advises against using any spray/mist for the recipient area since in reading other threads I thought that was pretty common practice. He did suggest taking benadryl or allegra for the itching, I gave that a try yesterday but don't think it helped that much. I won't second guess the doctor and do anything against his recommendations since his method gets results, but I'm curious what others do for the itching. For now i'm just sitting on my hands when the itching starts and just wait for -

I have a appt with Diep next year. really not sure if I should go FUT or FUE. 42 yrs old - hair loss happened really fast (between ages 39 and 41) no longer losing hair - good skin laxity as far as I can tell - decent donor I started taking fin along with minox a month ago. started using derma roller 2 weeks ago. I have been taking vitamins of all kinds for years. I do see small hairs growing near the temples where there wasn't any before so I am holding out hope things change a little for the better in the frontal and on top over the next few months with this regimen -
Summary (because this review is long): Today is the 9th day after the surgery. I am very pleased with the Dr. Diep and her staff (so far.) Let's start with surgery info: Surgeon: Dr. Diep MHTA Clinic at Los Gatos, California Surgery Date: 11/12/2020 Procedures (graft): FUE (1411) + FUT (1211) Myself: Asian in my 50's with NW4 to 4.5. Start losing my hair since early 20's. Never take any med, tropical, roller, special shampoo, or anything for hair treatment (just too lazy to care.) My hair never give me trouble at work or dating. Live in the Bay Area and 20 miles from -

Hey Mate! I also did fut with Dr Diep 2 procedures. My second being performed Jan 19. Just for reinsurance I just buzzed my hair down to a 2 guard and i can barely see the scar. I have a little shock loss but that always recovers after few months. -
This is a review for Dr. John Diep (MHTA Clinic). I met with the Dr. in December 2019 and he advised a FUT process to partially restore hair on the front top of my head. Due to a cancelation, I was able to have the procedure mid-February 2020. I am extremely pleased with the results and particularly happy about the design of my hairline. During my research it was not easy finding pictures and descriptions that clearly described what someone at my age and with my level of hair loss might experience if I were to pull the trigger on hair restoration. I hope that my post here may help ot -

I have seen quite a few Diep cases give early growth, but it’s best to think of it happens it’s a bonus 🤩 -
This is just to share my experience with FUT from Dr. Diep. Will try to update this thread pictures throughout the year and final review.

Bro Ca Hustlers what did I tell you! You went MIA for a while. I figure you got kidnap from a crazy tinder swipe. Your hair looks fantastic btw. It’s crazy how much a full head of hair changes your life. Makes you want to go out more and live your best life. Dr Diep is the real deal. That one guy that was freaking out and tarnishing Dieps name after a few months needs to come out and admit he was a little dramatic with all the negativity. Melvin should use Cahustler as another home run. This is incredible!
