Dr. Umar,

 

Thank you for sharing yet another example of your impressive body hair to head FUE. The patient's results look very natural.

Has anyone used dr murad's scar kit, invisible scars, or rejuveness?

[chrisdav]

Good improvement for the patient.

 

I like how the presentation includes a description, pictures and a video.

[StaggerLee123]

Very nice improvement for this patient. He looks normal again and that's what all repair patients want.

 

I like the witness protection voice alteration...

great

I got an infection on the top of my foot from a bicycle accident. I scraped it on the sidewalk when I fell, and then it became a very ugly scar that was very dark. Then a friend was telling me about how she got rid of scar on her face from a mole removal. She tried a bunch of cheap creams, like the stuff you get at CVS, but it didn’t very work. Then came the expensive stuff, like $90 for Dr Murad’s Essential C Renewal. Vitamin C is great for the skin, so I spent the money. There’s a less expensive cream that has vitamin C, but you can only buy it online. I did, and I found that Invicible is a super scar cream (link removed) I now make my kids and even my husband use it.

Congratulation Dr. Umar, results like these make me a fan too.

 

With not having the luxury of throwing head hair into the mixture (depleted donor area),the combination of body hair (which don’t exceed their maximum length once transplanted into the scalp) and beard hair (coarse), looks extraordinary good.

 

I have noticed the pail circular punch scars, the patient has in his donor area. Have you considered transplanting beard hair into them, or is it too work intensive?

Dr. Umar, body hair and repairs in your hands is art. The video clearly shows this. You know how to balance it and know when to use it and when not to use it. If you didn't mention you used body hair in this case, I would have never knew. Great work!

[HARIRI]

Great Work. Dr. Umar and Dr. Bisanga are leaders in BHT. I just dont get it why so many attack Dr. Umar such as the bald truth show by Spencer Kobren. I find Dr. Umar saving lives of many depleted donor area patients. I know that he didn't repair hairtoday72 well http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/journal.asp?CopyID=7766&WebID=1868 but still he makes a lot of great repairs.

Hariri,

 

Exercising my right to reply I don't agree with you that dr Umar messed up my case and that was not the consensus of comments and messages I received. I see you chose to link to my 6 month result rather than full year.

 

In actual fact he took my totally bald nw7+ scalp (a toupee wearer) and gave me back a life. It's a dusting of hair rather than a thick lush head of hear but I am happy and think its an improvement from where I came from.

[HARIRI]

Hairtoday72, I didn't link your 6 months post op results. If you open the link I referred to, you can see all of your results up to one year. I'm not criticizing Dr. Umar, I actually voted for him to be accepted in the network. I was just sharing my personal opinion without any controversy. Its just didn't move me like the videos he is showing in the forum. If you are really happy with the outcome then sorry buddy. God bless.
