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 y’all , so I finally got my hairtransplant November 30th 2018.. it’s been a journey looking for clinics and choosing the right method . FUE or FUT n how many grafts is needed etc. I’ve been researching for 1.5 years now on hairloss around age 37.. prior to that I had great hair that I took for granted .. My family don’t have a history of hairloss , so I always assumed that the hairs would grow back .. . so I was in a lot of denial of why I’m losing hair.. I was adamant I only wanted FUE n wanted it to be with a top notch clinics .. I panicked last year n booked with docto -
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

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 -
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. Hopes this helps others add another data point when making a decision. Schedule the appoinment back in early January 2020, earliest appointment time was October. Did get an email for earlier appoinment in May, but couldn't make it. Details: Total Cost: $17,000.00 + $1,888.48 (Extra Grafts) = $18,888.48 Procedure: FUT Date: 2020-10-19 Grafts: ~3680 Norwood scale: V It's only been about a three weeks (in shedding phase). Waiting til 8-12 -

*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 -
I’m not a doctor but I think it’s to soon to start using topical minoxidil. Your recipient sight is still recovering. Your probably absorbing to much through the scalp. You look fantastic btw. Dr Diep did a wonderful job!- 24 replies

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. A quick 2nd week update. There is still some discomfort at the back but doing ok overall. I will head to the Dr. Diep office to remove the suture on Monday and hope it will accelerate the recovery. I took the minoxidil 5% first time ever two days ago and I was getting some tension headache. The headache went away a day later after I stopped. I applied the minoxidil today again and a slight headache comes back. Maybe my body needs to get used to it. I also filled the Fin prescription and still thinking about what to do with it. Should I do a DYI to turn i

Hey all! First off, want to thank everyone on this board who has been immensely helpful in my hair loss journey to date. Been lurking for about two years now, and finally have an FUE tomorrow with Dr Diep. 1300 grafts, NW2/3 front pattern only. Outside of the normal instructions provided by clinic, do you guys have advice for key things to do over the next week during surgery and in recovery? I remember one person tying their hands to the bed to make sure they didn't scratch their scalp in their sleep. Is this actually a thing? -
FUT+FUE looks interesting. My understanding that this was done for more to get more grafts (~250) and to keep costs low at 17K? Or did Dr Diep think that they wouldn't be able to get +2250 grafts from donor area with FUE? *(Pro-tip: If you decided to go with Dr. Diep, just have Pam to buzz off all the hair.) --- lol YES, I should of done this. I thought checking the box on form saying it was ok to cut whatever hair they wanted, they would automatically buzz it all to the same length to help with the surgery. But whoops nope. I was actually under when they shaved my head, and ended

Had some issues with the corners of my hairline when I was about 25, was getting the McDonald's arches over the years. I got about 1200 grafts from Dr. DIep 6 years ago and was blown away with the result. I was slickin' my hair and strutting around like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever. Now, being the perfectionist that I am I just had another 700 grafts put in purely for higher density, the hairline was not changed. Anyways, we'll see how this goes but Dr. Diep always seems to deliver. The guy is definitely in his own league, at least in this part of world. -
You seem like a very pragmatic guy, as opposed to being a critical thinker. That is not an insult. It is an assessment. Each half the world falls on either side: pragmatic thinking vs. critical thinking. Being as such, pragmatic people tend to lean heavily on reputation in the decision making and sentiments. And it is next to impossible to change a pragmatic person's mind. You've met Dr. Diep and think how can a surgeon and such a nice guy do anyone wrong right? Good God, I so wish you could have seen this thread. Read just the title of the URL to get an understanding of what it was abou

I am going to offer my OPINION based on my individual experiences. I think I am in a rare position in that I have been to both Dr. Diep and Dr. Konior for a subsequent procedure. I wouldn't necessarily call it a repair because I received an acceptable result from Dr. Diep. I was mostly happy with the yield on the hairline but not so with the yield or hair direction on his temple closure angles. He achieves very good density most of the time in the hairline. For me, his grafts seemed chunky and malpositioned. I have coarse wavy hair and yield shouldn't have been a problem. Overall, yield was no -
Ding ding ding! Winner winner, chicken dinner! The high toll that I speak of has nothing to do with him venturing out of the traditional safe zone. It's math. For your procedure @Noodles123, the rate of Transection Loss is actually 25%: 1500 punches - 1200 grafts = 300 300/1200 grafts = 25% By all recognized measures in the industry, 25% Transection Loss is Turkish-scam/Black Market level of deficiency. I am, and some members too, witnessed to an instance where the rate of Transection Loss was at least 45% from Dr Diep. So getting back to fundamentals. Does anyone remember

I have seen very good results from Dr Diep and Dr Bisanga with Afro hair. Eugenix has some decent results too but not to the Diep/Bisanga standard IMHO. Important to choose someone who has proven results, there is a recent case on here from Dr Cinik for example which isn’t great and lacks refinement and also has multiple hair grafts in the hairline. They are now looking elsewhere to improve it. -
I have scheduled my first hair transplant surgery with Dr Diep for next month. I love his results and wanted an FUE from the very first consultation 5 years ago. However, my second consultation 5 years later, he is recommending FUT as my hair loss is really aggressive and said that I would like my results better. He said he could do an FUE, but FUT was a better choice based on how far gone I am. He also said he could do a combo FUE + FUT but that was not really cost effective and he did not recommend it. In light of the above, I was very excited and super happy with the results I see base -
Glad you’re still staying active on the boards and healing/growing well! I’m especially happy your donor has healed so well, but I wanted to get more details on what exactly you mean by “literally can’t tell at all”. Do you not even notice the scarring yourself anymore when your scalp is exposed (like under certain lighting or how your hair is brushed)? I had a similar procedure (1500 FUE on black/AA hair, except I’m 26) done by Diep but I’m driving myself nuts with my donor. Its improved since looking like Swiss cheese but now (9 months in) it’s still often itchy and I can feel the diffe -
My donor is fine with 2250. I wanted to keep the same cost and that's why Dr. Diep suggested to do a FUE/FUT combo. I feel it was actually more work to them since the procedure was not done until way past mid-night. Yeah, that's why I asked Pam to not quit her day job. It is almost no point to not buzz the rest of hair out.

1 Year Anniversary Dr. Diep FUE

dont doubt Diep! -
Hello fellow Norwoods. I will be taking the plunge for my second procedure in approximately 3 weeks. Per the suggestions on this forum, as well as youtube videos, I decided to go with Dr. Diep for my second procedure. From my research Dr. Diep seems to have a very high skill level as well as a great eye for overall aesthetics. I will be getting 1300 FUE grafts, with the primary goal of adding density and a secondary goal of slightly lowering the hairline. Want to say thanks for all the feedback I got in my first post. Specifically the following contributors deserve a shou -
If only I could have been this meticulous in my selection of my surgeon, yeah? I might just be putting in the same effort heaping praise upon my experience with with another surgeon or clinic. On the other hand, if only the surgeon I did select was meticulous with me in surgery, I might be just as meticulous in heaping praise on MHTA through my journey. About 80% of sports analysts have never played professional sports. 100% of the women reporting on the NFL, have never thrown a football. Does it make them any less qualified to speak on a subject? Diep's work is polarizing. His price

@Melvin-Moderator Jim was saying when a patient comes in with a complaint to this forum, you personally reach out to Diep for them to get a resolution. I've seen that many times. I find it absolutely ridiculous that you never respond to the perfectly legitimate complaints we have against diep's technique. You still haven't even looked into @Specific-violinist60archived thread to determine if the transection rate was upwards of 40%. I even pm'd you about it and you never responded. You want to talk about agendas? You never respond to Diep making corn rows and saying they grow bett -
Guys, my honest opinion with dealing with both doctor diep and doctor hasson .. I feel like I should of went to doctor diep . He would of gave me more density. H&w is a top notch clinic , n they are more meticulous n detailed oriented .. but all this negativity towards doctor diep is what scared me n cAnceld on Doctor diep + the customer service from the office manager made me nervous about spending $16,000.. I ended up spending $20,000 at hnw, for more grafts n less results .. so honestly, I think they are both great clinics .. don’t overthink it .
