Senior Member TrixGlendevon Posted January 13, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted January 13, 2019 David Silva, the Manchester City playmaker, has had a hair transplant. I was wondering a few weeks ago what others think about it. I do not know how to get pictures on the forum from the internet sadly so these are links to pictures on Google. As you can see on the first link, he had receded quite a lot. The second picture clearly shows him post-transplant with all the redness visible along the hairline. He kept his hair short for a year like that. Then in December 2018 he started to let it grow again. I actually think it looks really good in the 3rd link. Much better than in the 4th-6th links when it is grown out. I couldn't decide if it is an unnatural looking transplant or if it just seems unnatural seeing a soccer player with hair after a year of seeing them bald every week. I think the former because in picture 3, I think he looks great. Although the design is good, it seems too dense all the way through. I am not a fan anyway. What do you guys think? Natural or unnatural and why? https://bit.ly/2RmLd5Whttps://bit.ly/2RK1H7xhttps://bit.ly/2QKZDYqhttps://bit.ly/2D5pJSjhttps://bit.ly/2SPSyaThttps://bit.ly/2smQv2x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member 1978matt Posted January 13, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) The lack of density between new and old hairline is a problem and maybe he will address that in the summer. Not the worst HT I've ever seen but it could be better.

I'd give it 6-6.5/10 I think the lack of density isn't noticeable when it is long, although there are gaps but these could occur naturally anyway. You'd expect that anyway as it is only the illusion of density and not density itself. I can't quite pinpoint what it is about the hairline that I don't like but that is the problem for me. It just doesn't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BjornBorg Posted March 12, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2019 It looks good to me. Haven't seen any City games lately though. Maybe it's not as good on TV/in reality as in this picture. My results - 2486 grafts FUE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Fozzie Posted March 12, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Has been looking good in recent weeks. Speaking of footballers and hair transplants, it looks like Christian Eriksen may be looking at another procedure. Think he had one around 2014 at a young age (21-22) and it resulted in a marked improvement from where he was post procedure. Fast forward 5 years and looks like he has lost more of his native hair in the front and crown (clear bald spot developing). Still looks in a better position compared to pre-transplant but not sure for how long for as hair loss has clearly progressed and he may be looking at another procedure in the near future.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 12, 2019 Administrators Share Posted March 12, 2019 Looks pretty dang good to me. If you think this is a 6/10 in hair transplants.

Senior Member BjornBorg Posted March 12, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2019 The 6/10 comment is from when he just started to grow it out. It looked like this: My results - 2486 grafts FUE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BaldingBogger Posted August 16, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted August 16, 2019 David Silva i believe had a follow up procedure the following year to correct the initial one in which noticeable gaps where left between hairline and transplant. His result now looks pretty impressive. He could be subject to future loss though so hope he has conserved appropriate donor in the bank. Money obviously won't be a problem!

Senior Member pkipling Posted August 17, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted August 17, 2019 Not able to see the pictures with the "gap", but based on the pictures posted here, this looks like a home run (I don't know the soccer equivalent to my limited sports analogy database lol). It's always nice to see successful HTs done in the public eye... Helps remove that stigma. I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My views/opinions are my own and don't necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff.

Senior Member harry_potter1 Posted August 17, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted August 17, 2019 Speaking of footballers (soccer players if you are American) is it me or Rakitic did a HT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickykuril Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 It looks 10/10 to me I wonder which doctor he went to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion yes. Or he's the greatest artist known to man in creating a fake hairline. That holds up through 90 minutes of dashing, heading balls and slidetackling. 1 My results - 2486 grafts FUE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
