Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 24, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 24, 2020 Alright guys, Christmas came early, I’m currently trying to set up a time and date for our live session. But I want to get some questions from the community. Once I have a concrete time and date I’ll announce it here. As an industry leader, Konior is widely regarded as one of the very best in all of the world. Dr. Nadimi is proving herself to be a real top notch doctor in her own right, apprenticing under one of the best. I’ll choose the best 5 questions and ask them for you guys. That said, everyone of you guys can join the live session and ask him/her questions in real time. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 24, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted November 24, 2020 Yes, it’s one unit, so four hairs grow from different directions. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member asterix0 Posted November 24, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2020 As an extension of the donor permanence topic: Does (can) donor hair take on recipient hair characteristics once it is placed in a male pattern baldness susceptible area, such as the hairline area. Are factors such as fibrosis, calcification, reduced blood flow in these areas, enough to explain why some transplants fail? Or is it more that the surgeon did not do an adequate job spacing the grafts, implanting them, thus their long term blood flow access and survivability decreases.

babakabo Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 What are their thoughts on Exosomes? Do they feel Exosomes are superior to PRP or at least equally effective? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairmd130 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Thoughts on punch size in FUE cases: -size of the punch considered when extracting & overall health of the graft? (Bigger punch for multi-hair grafts vs singles) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JohnBob Posted November 25, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2020 Please ask him if the FUE technique has made any significant advancements during the last 5 years and if he believes nowadays FUE can achieve the same level of donor harvesting as FUT. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things like his schedule, wait times, etc can be answered by him directly via email. The purpose of this live session will be for education regarding his approach to surgery, and his philosophies. Now, questions regarding strip scar numbness, recover, etc, that's more within the realm of the questions he'll be answering. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member deitel130 Posted November 25, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 25, 2020 What his thoughts and experience is on efficacy of long term Finasteride use. There has been some suggestions that Finasteride may be less effective when used over a longer period (10 years). Is shockloss influenced at all by the amount of anesthesia mix used which reduces bleeding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 25, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted November 25, 2020 Good question, how about asking if shock loss is preventable?

Senior Member JohnBob Posted November 26, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2020 Another question that would be interesting if he answers -- if he does 10,000+ grafts restorations and what's the biggest restoration he has done so far.

Senior Member Curious25 Posted November 26, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) How does he determine a patients safe zone, what age is a general rule of thumb, and what are the other considerations involved whilst establishing this - and when does he feel comfortable extracting from outside the traditional NW7 safe zone. Is the average donor graft estimation of 5000-7000 grafts vía FUE an estimation based off a NW7 safe zone, therefore would an average patient deemed to be safe at NW6, expect to attain >7000 grafts vía FUE.

Senior Member giegnosiganoe Posted November 28, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 28, 2020 Can you ask both Konior and Nadimi how many total procedures each of them has done (FUE vs FUT), what is the average ratio of FUE vs FUT as of late, and how many times do they do HTs per week on average? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sean Posted November 28, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Can PRP or anything help with reducing some ridging and raised tissue in frontal hairline scalp area? It is due to many incisions in a smaller area, that cUsed scarred tissue. Or would you recommend resections for such areas? What about cobble-stoning? Is it repairable as well? I am trying to get successfully repaired but the doctor I counted on, clearly failed. Thank You! Edited November 28, 2020 by Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
