Hey Everyone. Just wanted to share my 1.5 Year update of my FUE with Dr. Diep. I had 2 transplants, with ~5000 grafts total Was on minoxidil for about 8 years before my first surgery, but hit a plateau around on the 4 year mark. Even after upping the dosage I was still receding horribly. Tried PRP, Laser hair therapy, all of that stuff. There are still some issues I see with density behind the temples, but there was literally nothing there at all just a few years ago. Still have a very strong donor area, and everything looks good when I keep a haircut every couple of weeks or so. Ove -
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 -
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 -
You’ve got a great channel man, by any chance do you follow Dallis D? He also went to Diep. -
My journey and how I got to decide on Dr. Konior Started losing hair roughly 10 years ago around the age of 23. Finasteride worked really well but had to stop due to sides. Now I only use Nizoral/Minox but I don't think those are helping. Initially I decided to go with Dr. Diep but after reading @jimcraig152's post here and searching through other Diep's topics, I decided to shop around a little more and settled on Konior. Luckily due to Covid there was a cancellation very soon after I contacted him, so it all worked out. Day of procedure Got there at 6:30 am, filled out some pa -

Diep got you fantastic density, but the placement is less than ideal when consulting with other top surgeons. I relayed some information regarding Diep's "perspective" on the cornrow placement, and I was told that this is completely false and irregularities are just as important to achieve a natural look so that people cannot tell you had a transplant. I would advise going to Shapiro, Konior, H&W, Cooley, and/or Gabel for your repair and for them to fill in those areas. Also, not sure why they placed multi-grafts in the hairline... So odd. -
Are Hair Transplants Perfect?
SadMan2021 replied to Melvin-Moderator's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I agree hair transplants are about managing expectations and at heart are an illusion of density. Even objectively great HT's can look bad under harsh lighting, have small areas here and there that didn't grow, and people may be stuck with certain hairstyles. I'm being somewhat sarcastic, but I always see people with HT's on here with the same slicked-back hairstyle. Its like that is the uniform post-HT look. I think this is in part because doing some wild/hip Robert-Pattinson style haircut would expose the sub-natural density of HT's. I do think perfect HT's (those with none of the abov -
Age 31, NW3 Medication: Finasteride 1mg/day, Minoxidil 5% 2x/day Hair characteristics: High contrast with skin Cost: ~$21K total, including A-Cell and Amino Fill injections. Not being incentivized to post this Before I get started, MASSIVE shoutout to giegnosiganoe who encouraged me to post here and also helped me so much with depression and buyer's regret that I had following my surgery. He's an awesome dude and I appreciate him so much. Hair loss timeline: 18 - Started to notice lots of shedding but ignored it 25 - Crown balding started to become apparent as well as hairl -
Sorry you are having to go through this @jimcraig152. When going with a top rated surgeon and paying top price you would expect quality results. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case and some of your concerns from immediately after the procedure are coming to fruition. Of course, it's imperative to wait for full growth around 12 months but those of us who have been in the game awhile can usually see from immediate post op pictures how the result will pan out. Sometimes Dr Diep has everything line up in his favor and he knocks it out of the park. Sometimes, his decisions, for whatever the 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 -
My 1st HT went well. Now, I am waiting for my 2nd HT with John Diep. He told me from the start that the 1st HT was to lay the foundation, and the 2nd HT will be for the density. So far, everything he told me checks out. I highly recommend Dr. Diep. I'm happy with my hairline so far. -
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

Looks good in both pics short or longer. Nice job by Dr Diep -
*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 -
We all do business with different companies throughout the year and most are unremarkable. But my experience with Dr. John Diep, at Medical Hair Transplants and Aesthetics was extraordinary. Dr. Diep’s communication, attention to detail and surgical skill is unsurpassed in the industry; his overall customer service and work product is like dealing with a friend where a handshake means he stands behind his products and service. My issue was a receding hairline; I wanted to fill it in and lower it a bit. I didn’t want a 20-something hairline but a mature hairline that I could style. The end -
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.

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 -
Before deciding to get a hair transplant, I did a lot of research, spoke with a series of hair transplant surgeons, and had many consultations at other hair restoration clinics. No where gave me more confidence than Dr. Diep and his clinic. I’ve never seen more testimonials and evidence of success. Fast forward 1 year after my own FUT surgery, I couldn’t be happier with the results - it exceeded even my most optimistic expectations. Dr. Diep and his staff are extremely skillful, attentive, and always available to answer questions before and after care. I couldn’t recommend him highly eno -
Howdy all, Obligatory long time lurker/first time posting disclaimer. I felt like, having read so many patient reviews and experiences and stories that I could do some good sharing mine, and also it's just always nice to know you're not alone : ) I will tell my story in a sets of posts to this topic that will go chronologically, more or less. I hope. I'm new to this, remember. I began losing my hair VERY early, probably as early as fourteen or fifteen. I know I was already being teased about my hairline, mostly about the size of my forehead, at that age. I had always had a very clas -
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 -
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
