Alot of bad hair transplants these days. Are you ever going to get more transplants? Yes, I agree. I thank god that I found this forum. As a collective group, we know who’s doing good surgery and who’s not. That’s why I truly feel anyone considering surgery needs to come on here first and research gain knowledge before pulling the trigger. I’m thinking of getting one more hair transplant, to fix some minor issues. I’m not in a hurry. I fix those minor issues with caboki, so it’s not a big deal for me at the moment.

Bill - Seemiller Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Yeah the reality is, despite all the improvements and innovations related to today’s modern follicular unit hair transplant surgery either via FUSS or FUE, and there are still some clinics out there using old school techniques. Let’s think about this, follicular unit hair transplant surgery has been around since the late 90s. That’s over 20 years ago. And there are still some clinics/surgeons that haven’t even evolved to using follicular units yet. Now I would say that the most common problem is poor growth. Because even though any clinics are now doing follicular unit hair transplant surgery, One or more of the team members participating in the procedure are being careless or aren’t skilled enough to handle the fragile grafts and as a result, many patients are still seeing poor growth on a regular basis. This is why it is crucial to select a surgeon based on a proven ability to produce outstanding results consistently. Yes, even the best surgeons have some cases of less than optimal growth, but overall, a surgeon who is consistent in producing outstanding results is a surgeon worth considering. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Spanker Posted February 21, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Few things: First, it was great to see a Dr. Konior patient highlighted as a "Good." I also think at 1:39, the guy's hair is not too low (its higher than yours), it is just terrible artistry, shape, and probably plenty of doubles. The music was much more tolerable to my aging ears in this video and I think they really made the right decision to select you as a Co-Moderator. The quality of your contributions are an asset to the site.

He had a hairline that you would see on a guy of african descent, with the temple points squared. Caucasian men have angular temple points. Yes haha that famous green background is hard to miss.
