Regular Member gtyler Posted August 11, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted August 11, 2023 I would love to go to Dr Nader. Right now I'm tentatively scheduled for October of 2024. Communication has been scarce. Which is concerning to me. And I'm really hoping I can get the procedure done before 14 months from now. I've asked to be on their waiting list a handful of times because I could get on a flight to Texas ASAP and be there the next day. But havent heard back from Dr Nader or Brenda about that. I wish you the best of luck on your HT journey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jfally Posted August 15, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) 3 week update with pics in rudest natural light possible. The shedding has been real. Twas nice while it lasted lol! Shedding started at about day 12 and a little bit of acne here and there. Donor area looks great IMO. Scabs 99% gone. Haircut at day 18 with a guard (temple fade/taper) to clean up neck line and forward from ears, not touching donor area.

Regular Member rs525 Posted August 24, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted August 24, 2023 I'm considering Dr. Nader as well if I ever get a hair transplant but I'm concerned about Reynosa and the clinic itself. The US State Dept. says not to travel there due to crime and when I looked up the clinic on Google Maps it did not look at all like you described. It looked like a dumpy strip mall and the immediate area looked like a third world country. I'm sure he's an excellent doctor but I of course value my safety and don't feel like going to a place where I need round the clock armed security.

You're entitled to your opinion and feelings for sure. I shared mine and one month later I can confidently say I'd go back there tomorrow, this time, with zero hesitation/anxiety unlike the first time Good luck with your decision!

Regular Member jfally Posted September 24, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 24, 2023 1 day shy of 2 month update. Buzzed it with zero guard. Crazy how great a surgeon Dr N is IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jfally Posted September 24, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 24, 2023 And a 1 day shy of 2 month pic of crown. Crown was essentially slick bald before so anything above that is an early improvement. Cannot wait for month 4 then 6 then 12 🙏🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jfally Posted October 25, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 25, 2023 3 month update. Exactly 90 days post. Got a fade 10 days back hence length discrepancies, I find it helps blend the donor decently. Speaking of donor, it seems to have been bouncing back nicely over the last 2-4 weeks. I expected zero growth at all til month 4 so I know lots of different outcomes forward from here over the next year, but I’m very happy with where things are just 3 months post 🤞🏼 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jfally Posted November 25, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 25, 2023 He sculpted a double whirl that I hope becomes evident in another 4 months. Mostly bc I really appreciated the art he brings into it, I was pretty floored the extent he went to to recreate what he saw was my original double cowlick. Anywho, def pumped for the next several months, the photos don’t capture all the sprouts well. But with new stuff sprouting plus all of it thickening over next few growth cycles, should get a solid outcome. I continue daily Dut and Oral Min.

Regular Member jfally Posted December 25, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 25, 2023 Have a couple more from today but upload isn’t working. Obv still very scarce and density lacking but…it’s 5 months. Great news: Tried fibers last weekend for a wedding and it was insane. First time my hair wasn’t a blow to my self confidence in over a decade. Looked like a full head of hair 🤯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member CaliforniaLiving Posted December 27, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted December 27, 2023 Looks like great progress! Remember, crown will take the full year to fill in so be patient (harder than it sounds I bet!). I gave up trying to reach Nader- after results like yours I bet he is backed up like crazy! Hah! Also, with fibers remember less is more. Don't overdo it and make sure you add a little hair spray to keep the fibers in place. I also add a bit of thickening powder to my hair after I add the fibers and before I do the hair spray. It gives the hair more volume and if it's thin: https://a.co/d/cuHNxRi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Steeeve Posted December 30, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted December 30, 2023 Following with interest. Been a fan of Dr Nader’s for almost a decade now and your work looks as solid as any one of his other patients. Your progress so far has been outstanding!
