Regular Member fsu2012 Posted November 21, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Sharing my experience with Dr. Munib Ahmad at Fuegenix as I am exactly two weeks post op now. Communication with the Doctor has been great throughout (which was a big reason I chose him - I tend to ask a lot of questions and you have a direct line to him via WhatsApp where he answers everything) so I am excited to see how the results develop over the next few months. I will try to share an update monthly! Total grafts were in the 1,400 range. Day of surgery was a breeze -- Dr. Munib and his assistant are great. I really didn't have any pain during or after the procedure outside of the injections in the beginning which I have to be honest, can be quite painful. However, they go by quick and then from there the day flies by. I stayed a few days after in a nearby hotel and then flew back to the US. I am in mid 30s, so I was hoping to establish a hairline that got some youth back but also wasn't overly straight/juvenile. Hoping this lasts for years to come!

Dr. Munib bases all of the cases on the difficulty/situation, so its best to check in with him to get a better idea. However, I will say it was definitely on the more expensive side of surgeons I consulted with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member ScottishGuy21 Posted November 21, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 21, 2023 Ive said this in another Dr Munib thread but I’ll echo it again . No surgery can ever be an absolute guaranteed success..but with this Dr I think that’s the case. I’m yet to see a bad or for that matter even an average result. He may be expensive but if you can afford it you are giving yourself the best possible chance. Each result I’ve seen is consistently great and what’s more they are presented with no hiding place. Every angle covered in HD camera and video footage. You can come on here with a result and request a certain angle from the Dr and he’ll post it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that was my thinking as well -- spent many hours looking at other reviews and couldn't find any other Dr willing to blast everything in HD like Dr. Munib... I think it says a lot about his confidence! You seem pretty knowledgeable @ScottishGuy21, what are your thoughts on the hairline design here?

Senior Member BaldReaper Posted November 21, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted November 21, 2023 Great choice of surgeon and small problem, I believe your results will be insane, just be patient 4 months. Can you also post some pre op pics without the hair tight up to understand your starting point? Any idea why the Dr chose this pattern of extraction in your donor area?

But yes the waiting game is going to suck lol. I can try to find pics from my starting point, but I used to wear my hair down to cover the recession, so in any pics I have without it pulled back you really wouldn't be able to tell as much. As far as the extraction in the donor, Dr. Munib explained that I had higher density towards the upper half of the back of my head so he decided to pull more of the grafts from there. He also mentioned that area had a lot of juicier 3 hair grafts that he thought would help create density behind the hairline. Hope that helps! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For your age and from the 1 with hair pic I can see it’s perfect. You don’t want anything too aggressive because it doesn’t look natural. Also with only 1400 grafts used too you’ve got a lot still in the tank (should you have further recession of you native hair). Im a casual observer on here, you’ve been in with one of if not the very best in the world. I’m sure he’s nailed it 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. @fsu2012, if you’re hair loss has stabilized then sometimes a doctor will go back later and work with you on design but Dr. Munib really has an eye for hairline design and how each hairline shapes each individual face. This is top notch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Jackdaniels Posted November 21, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Happy growing..the density looks good ..I would like to ask you why did the doctor do such a conservative hairline ? I think you didn’t have to because your hair loss problem was not aggressive to do a conservative hairline like this. But anyway now it’s Too late, the only thing you have to worry about now is your final result…which you will see in a couple of months. I wish you all the best !

Regular Member fsu2012 Posted November 21, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 21, 2023 @Jackdaniels I didn't think it was overly conservative, more so just a balanced approach to ensure longevity and that it matches as I age. I think we all tend to get "hair greed" so looking back there is moments I ask should I have gone a bit more aggressive? But I'm excited to see how it pans out, especially as I grow my hair a bit.
