Your temple points are just stupidly good, makes me question why so many surgeons struggle with them.

There are other clinics that most would agree do slightly more aesthetic hairlines overall, but ASMED imo do the most natural and best temple point work in the world. Hasson/Wong also do very good temple work. Big graft numbers are definitely part of it though.

Tbh I'm not aware of a temple point result that is more impressive than Kraistoff's either. The side profile difference is insane.

It seems to me like many surgeons try and weasel out of doing temple points with the whole, "I don't think you you need it" line. As if anyone "needs" temple points or even a HT at all. I feel as if I may have written off ASMED for a HT unfairly due to some of the rep they've developed around here, instead of using my own judgement based on their results.

@Kraistoff Your hair looks fantastic. What a killer transformation.

Where are all the critics now? That’s why it’s important not to fall victim to herd mentality. One person says it, than another repeats it, and then pretty soon it becomes a “fact.” I have and still believe asmed was unfairly attacked. That said, we did remove them based on sheer volume. Ideally, we prefer our surgeons to work on 1-2 patients per day. That said, they are not what many repeat on this forum. Once we removed them the critics all but vanished, which is very revealing to me.

I've certainly been guilty of this behavior.

Rather than expecting perfect results from an imperfect procedure, it might be better to look at how a surgeon deals with their results that don't turn out as expected. Do they stand by their patients?

That’s definitely a big one, keep in mind, there are no money back guarantees.  But we really need to shift away from the herd mentality, especially because two or three people can steer the narrative for their own agenda, and once they succeed they disappear into the abyss.

Kraistoff, are you on any medication? It seems like the native hair behind the transplanted hair are falling out and is causing the lack of density behind the hair line. 

You always want to be on finastiride or DUT after the transplant so the native hair behind the transplanted hair doesn't fall out.

Hello @stephcurry30 - I am on fin and dut - this bits that appear to Thinning are the reasons I went back. I was convinced the multi grafts didn’t grow as well as the singles. Dr Erdogan explained that it could be that I’ve continued to lose Jaír and for this reason suggested I use Dut twice a week on top of fin. 

I’m happy that my hair will be ok for the next 7-10 years . Then I will use the last 2000-3000 grafts. If it means having a bald patch at my back in my 40s and 50s so be it . 
 

I am using fin every day and dut on Mondays and Thursdays
