Senior Member thisguy1 Posted February 16, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 16, 2016 Thank you! I think he did 2000 in he front and 500 in the back. I can't believe you got that sort of square footage covered with 500 grafts in the crown, when so many say its the black hole of grafts and sometimes 1000 doesnt even seem to cover a similar area half as well. Count youself among the blessed. I've only seen 4-5 Diep cases here but each one seems to be a home run. I guess his main issue is "bedside manner" but guy gets amazing results with some really pronounced stages of Norwood - I usually see NW4/5 with him and he shaves off 10 years quickly off their look. 1 Jan 2016 - 3800 graft FUT with Dr. Konior NW 5A to 6. Docs whose results I am most consistently impressed with: Konior, Cooley (FUT), Hasson (FUT), Diep (FUE) (yeah I like the zig zag). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Indi9 Posted February 16, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 16, 2016 Must say this is an outstanding result...extremely natural looking hairline, densely packed, no wiryness or tangled outcome as some FUT surgeons claim for FUE. I am turning into a big fan of Dr. Diep. Cherry on the cake...done with just 2500 grafts??? OMG...that saved u some money as well and I think he got the perfect tuning/mix for the Acell shots. Like some one said...this one is a Home Run...Out of the park it goes. Happy for you mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member thisguy1 Posted February 16, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 16, 2016 What do u mean by bed side manner? I am truly blessed. Heard some comments here from a patient of his who posts often that he is difficult to get a hold of after the surgery for follow up questions, etc. Like I said in his thread I'd rather get a 10 result and 4 "follow up availability" than a 8 result and 8 "follow up availability". That said there is a big psychological impact on this surgery as seen by many comments in many threads here as many people get into panic over any small issue post surgery ("I sneezed too hard on day 2 - am I doomed to lose 10% of my grafts??" haha) so I can see why prompt responses to any query are a big consideration to some.

Agh gotcha. To be honest since I was local I was able to come see him during his times that he was available so I didn't have too much of that issue. I may have had to see him about a few issues. One being my shock loss and the other was just a concern over swelling. Both times he made himself available. He is typically booked out 6-8 months so I can certainly see his lack of availability but I think his nurses and staff do a good job at answering some questions. With that being said I am extremely happy with my 1 year results. I am hoping my 18 month results are better as I was told that it could take up to 18 months to fully see the full potential. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommySan Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I am thinking about getting this doctor. Im curious because if I could ever get the same hair as you, did Dr. Diep say you can bleach it? That would be like the best feeling. It would be like being bald and then turning super sayon! Geling the hair into blond spikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member E39 Posted February 22, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2016 Awesome result. I'm a fellow Diep patient. Do you use rogaine on your entire scalp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Indi9 Posted February 22, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted February 22, 2016 Yes. 2500 graphs. I am not sure how to answer your question but I am happy with my results. Was going through your other thread where you mentioned that the Doc said way over 3000 grafts "To my surprise, Dr. Diep had to come in serveral times because the nurses had started they had hair follicals left and all the holes were taken up. At the end, Dr. Diep stated that he did well over 3000 follicals for me, of which I was sooo excited to hear! He was able to do the front and the rest on my dome. So overall my experience at the office was please. Dr Diep was great, and the nurses were great!" Plus the ACell shot... I guess that could be the differentiator here in making the result what it is... Simply Mind blowing. Otherwise its hard to believe how Dr Diep could achieve this outcome with just 2500-3000 grafts. And do you know the liquid Dr. Diep uses to hold the grafts...is it saline or the ATP (Liposomol ATP) liquid to hold the grafts while they are sitting out and for spraying on for the first few days after the HT Op. Will be great to know if this was the case. So it has to be 3000+ grafts and the A Cell shot (Plus the ATP if it was used). Did he provide any specific medications to promote hair growth other than Rogaine and Propecia ? Any supplements or shampoos ? All said and the result is fantabulous! Happy for you!

I did not use rogain until I think 1 month or 6 weeks after my procedure. I would highly advise rogain and Propecia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been over a year and I didn't go thru my thread when I wrote my follow up. I'm just happy and I just wanted to show my results. My apologies if I misrepresented anything. Definitely not my intention. With that being said I do not know what liquid he used. He only said rogain and Propecia. They give the best chances of keeping ALL the hair left on your head.

Regular Member Specific-violinist60 Posted August 16, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted August 16, 2020 Do you have any pictures of your donor area right after post op? Can you also show us what your donor looks like today? I just had a procedure with him and am worried that my donor density is going to be very very thin and my scalp will be visible.

Senior Member JohnCasper Posted February 7, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2021 I agree with Melvin. I had my surgery 8+ years ago and I’ve experienced no discernible hair loss. My wife is a hair dresser and cuts my hair often and she has seen no noticeable hair loss.
