Great to see a Zarev patient who is not a Norwood 6-7, IMO you made a great choice. 1 "Mature hairline" is euphemism for balding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 32 still 30-40 years of hairloss in the future. Minoxidil just slows it down not stop it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hairline and crown are both intact you have better hair than most 32 year olds just keep using medication. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use oral min 2.5mg plus topical minox. Working well at the moment. We will see how that does long term. I wont be a big recovery like many on this forum but my goals are to stregthen thin areas & to improve my temple peaks which will make a nice difference. Wont be lowering my hairline but may get some grafts around there. Will see next november Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ht4me Posted January 19 Regular Member Share Posted January 19 Did he show you any temple point results? If so how many cases and how were they? I haven’t seen him post any examples and it doesn’t seem like he does them very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyroneJ Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Would you consider prividing us with pre-op pictures of your previous HT by Dr Saifi so we can see your initial hairloss situation? I think it would be interesting for many of us consedering the doctor's prognosis of you probably heading to the NW6-7 town in the future. From the pictures you posted, there's no way I would've thought that you might be a "potential" NW6-7 candidate, not even for 1 second. So that kinda confuses/scares me tbh. You're "only" 32, I'm only 29 lol and have been told, there's no way I'm gonna be a NW6 in the future. From what it looks like in your pics, if you're a potential NW6, then I'm definitely a potential NW10. Btw. thanks for the detailed post On 3/21/2023 at 10:15 AM, hairman22 said: @NegativeNorwood got my photos back have to say my hairloss was better than i thought.

Senior Member mr_peanutbutter Posted March 26 Senior Member Share Posted March 26 will monitor this closely its hard to read though that according to zarev even very reputable surgeons basically destroy the donor with the common extraction technique @BlueSkyDay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member BlueSkyDay Posted March 26 Regular Member Share Posted March 26 (edited) Zarev webpage basically states he achieves far better patient outcomes due to the next generation vacuum assisted extraction that extracts pure grafts and does not extract unnecessary tissue leaving more Follicular units available for utilisation . He is effectively saying virtually every surgeon who used motorised punches and manual punches is undermining your potential results by damaging the donor region. I met Dr Reddy who warned me about the risk of damage and scarring to the donor region if surgery is not meticulously and slowly performed. He further warned of the risks of damage if the surgeon leaves the motorised punch in continuous mode . Trivellini says the motorised or manual punches gamble with your donor region - suction is needed to pull the grafts straight so the punch can cut them cleanly and be removed intact. Otherwise they risk being transected. Effectively the surgeon that is supposed to be remedying your hairloss problem is casing 20% to 30% loss to your donor area. You are paying the surgeon to make your hairloss even worse. There are surgeons using the Trivellini system. Dr Rassman, one of the founders endorses it. There is a list of surgeons on the Trivellini webpage - so they may be an alternative to dr Zarev. Obviously Dr Zarev’s results are highly influenced by his training, meticulous approach and planning, and experience My opinion is only consider a qualified surgeon that uses vacuum assisted FUE. I’m going with Zarev even at 9 euros per graft . His portfolio , videos , endorsements and recognition at conferences show he is the pioneer and world expert currently Edited March 26 by BlueSkyDay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
