Senior Member BaldReaper Posted April 19, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted April 19, 2023 I really dont get why anyone would go for a hair transplant with such a high hairline and low density, it literally looked better when he was bald, I just hope the patient himself is happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted April 20, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted April 20, 2023 Being conservative allows for the surgeon to see in a year or so if more refinement is possible (ie hairline lowering, temple points, crown, etc). Also many people have different goals and having hair back for a Norwood 7 can transform a person's life while for others it can be viewed as a big mistake. It's entirely subjective really. 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Prof101 Posted May 29, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted May 29, 2023 @Dr. Felipe Pittella This is an impressive result. Congrats. I cannot help but ask: Usually body and bear hair does not look great on scalp, I have seen only very few exceptions. Did you feel comfortable with him doing so because of specific characteristics of his body/bear hair? He beard hair looks relatively straight.

I disagree completely. Hair transplants will never look perfect unless the patient is a NW2 or NW3. You can't compare this patient to those guys, or even a NW7 with thick hair. In this patients case, there was so much bald area to cover with low diameter donor hair it's kind of incredible what the Dr did. Sure it's not super dense and the hairline is high, but that's quite literally impossible with current technology. What the patient did get was a head of hair good enough to frame his face handsomely and that makes a great difference regardless.

He didn't choose to be a NW 7. He didn't choose to not have unlimited donor hair, so he could be a NW 0. Nobody chooses those. You have to do the best you can with what life gives you. If you really think guys look better bald then why would you even be here in a hair transplant forum? You could just go on your merry way and let your hair fall out and enjoy being better looking every day as you get more bald. The fact that you are here proves you don't believe that to be true. If men really did look better bald then every 16 year old boy would be shaving their heads daily to impress high school girls with their great looking bald head. The fact that that doesn't happen and that you don't see high school and college girls going crazy over bald guys proves that men look better with hair. 2 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Thanks Yes and I do BHT with beard as donor on every high norwood classes (in the PRECISE scale a class 5 or higher). I do not chose certain types of beard as a pre requisite to BHT. I mean, I do it regardless of the kind of the beard. Of course the expected result should take this into account though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be very interested to see his 4th surgery. Lets go! Finally. We are now 5 months from the 4th procedure. I'll post the strategy here first. video first and photos below. STRATEGY Increase density on these areas and advance little bit the hairline. BHT beard leftovers as donor, plus sideburns and chest and abdominal hair. leftovers from beard (notice no scars from previous procedures) INTRAOP Increasing density by transplanting in between previously transplanted grafts IMEDIATE POSTOP SECOND DAY POSTOP (notice fast beard recovery) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member AhmadChaudhry Posted July 21, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted July 21, 2023 Just one question. I have seen in one or two photos you took hair from the upper cheeks area. What size of punch you used for extraction. It seems 0.65 mm or 7.00 mm ? Dr. Ahmad Chaudhry Cosmo Derma clinic Lahore Pakistan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Grouse Posted July 24, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted July 24, 2023 Incredible result! And thickening is happening. If I were this person, I'd get SMP on the scalp and call it a day. Most on this forum would have told this person to shave and never consider a transplant.

Would love to see some photos! 8 months: Just woke up: back front the gym: night hot tub (wet hair): crown view: posing: He says "he's a younger friend, but look the difference" I've asked some photos of the beard for feedback on scarring (he just said theres absolutely no scars and the skin feels good quality on the harvested area). It seems that the extraction from face and beard using a small punch may act as a "skin peeling" procedure. All patients refer improvement of skin quality on harvested areas. soon more updates 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
