      If I understood the Turkey thing correctly, the government subsidises the clinics to make it this cost effective. Turkey is trying to create a medical hospitality industry like Thailand and South Korea. I'm unsure if this is good or bad but there seem to be lots of genuine positive reviews, which is good. I did mine in South Korean in late July 3000 grafts, about $10k Aussie. I think I just look weird at the moment because I have hair!! Seriously though, at the end of 3 months it is looking better everyday and all transplants seem to be going strong. I suspect by month 6 all grafts will have grown out and it will look natural. It would be challenging for the US to compete with these countries because of the government subsidies these countries offer.

    9 out of 10 hair transplants look bad just because the shape of the hairline looks too straight and too fake.
    A hair line is not a straight line.
    I even see it in movie whigs. Look at Captain Kirk in Star Trek. In some Episodes his hair looks normal and in others his hairline is just a straight line.
    I like to draw people and faces and it is always important to get the hairline look natural.
    But most doctors only know how to transplant hair but have no clue how a hairline is shaped.

    I had a really well done transplant in Cologne, Germany. I started out with naturally thin, curly hair and they repaired my balding scalp. The hair is not very dense but it's the best that could be done given the situation because before the transplant my donor area was already very light. My expectations were realistic and so I'm more than happy with the result! I'm taking 1mg finasteride now too, hoping to restore some more hair. I don't know if it will do anything at this point but it's just something I feel like I have to do to at least prevent further loss.

    I'm 44 and got myself a hair system made from real hair. I couldn't be happier with it! I actually prefer my hair now more than even when I was 25 and had full natural hair. I decided against a transplant for many reasons. My father's hair transplant failed 15 years ago. You can't predict the success of a transplant or whether the hair that grows back will even have a nice texture. My natural hair was thick but very rough and wiry. Above all, I've no desire for followup transplant operations in 5-10 years again or worse still having to take unnecessary medication that mess with your hormones... no way!!

      There can be bad outcomes for transplant, but the one you should really be worried about is just scarring. If the texture isn't right, just keep it messy. If you're worried about hairline too straight, just warn them beforehand that you want some temples visible or even better give them a pre-hairfall picture of you. Worst case scenario new hair die, just shave them bald again or even retry.

    I got mine done almost 2 years ago. Results look decent, but I was expecting a lot more density (at least 2x if not 3x). I was willing to pay, but the doctor refused to do more than 15-20 grafts per square centimeter saying "you can't do more than that; the grafts won't live". So I had 1500 grafts done for over $9k. (Makes me want to go back in time and just go to Turkey.)

      Each patient is a different case. If your hair type is thin then it is more difficult to get a thicker look and it will be very important to get adequate blood flow to all of the areas. I am about 8 months after my second surgery and the thickness is appealing and at first I thought it should be thicker and then I compared it to pictures of myself 15 years ago and I have a better hairline and more thickness now than when I was in my late 20s.

      Question, could you not do a hair transplant and take hair from the back or side of your head so much that you wouldn't need to use any medication when the hair has grown back? The transplanted hair stays there forever right? I don't really need hair on the sides or back of my head, I could basicly have an undercut all the time, would be great lol. I would start saving for a hairtransplant right now if I could live medication free after it, I don't wanna take those.

    I had a hair transplant 3 years ago. It was a dream of mine and saved for 4 years for it. I was distressed about the amount of hair loss I had and being short and bald was really depressing me. I had it done in London UK, they changed my surgery location 1 week before because my surgeon was sick, it was supposed to be in Manchester. I thought same company must be good. After I had it done I had the worst necrosis that I have seen of anybody online and massive scarring in the top of my head and also the back of my head. 80% of the grafts obviously failed and had just minor parts at the very front front succeed. They also made errors on the aftercare sheet which made things worse as well as I wasn’t washing long enough. It turned out one of the people doing the surgery was a trainee which I wasn’t notified about before. Now I have to have my hair from the back cover my front like a bad comb over. The worst of it all is that because of the scarring I cannot even go bald now due to the scarring in the front of my head and back of my head. I’m so depressed and my hair loss is getting worse and I really don’t know what todo. Or who I can trust or if it can even be corrected I just don’t want to go through the same thing and pain all over again. But I don’t want to go bald and have bad shiny scarring all over my head. They have not only not given hair but messed up my opportunity of ever looking normal. Please doctor help me with some advice and what can be done for me.

    Hey. You mention about grafts being rubbed off.
    I am two weeks post transplant and I am conscious if I rub my hairline I will rub off the grafts. I have seen one or two hairs come off in my finger but I am thinking this is probably the shredding starting. There has been no blood when I have touched it so I am hoping it means the grafts have not been damaged.
    Maybe a vid on how to tell between a graft coming out and the hair shredding? :)

    • @dallaslooksmaxxer3505
      @dallaslooksmaxxer3505 Рік тому +3

      I am not a doctor (but had a procedure done). I 100% understand your concerns as I too was in your same shoes 2 years ago.
      First, know that the grafts are pretty much seated 72 hours after the procedure, but it’s still important to not touch/rub them up to 6 days following the procedure.
      Secondly, if you see hairs falling out two weeks after the procedure, that’s just the normal shedding process. Even though most of your transplanted hair fall out after two weeks, the follicles themselves will be deeply rooted underneath the skin. So no worries there.
      Lastly, as you mentioned, if a hat falls out and there’s no blood, that means the skin tissue is not damaged, which means that the follicle didn’t get detached, but rather, the hair was just pulled out or started shedding early. So no worrries there either. You only messed up if it bleeds.
      If you have further concerns, I’d call your doc.
      Hope this helped and enjoy your hair bro 💯

    • @spooner3452
      @spooner3452 Рік тому +1

      Bro after 9 days, yes exactly 9 days, your grafts are so secure that you would need doctor remove them surgically. It is hard for them to fall off. That is just hair falling off as the shedding phase starts anywhere between 10 and 15 days.
      Im one month after HT, did 6500 grafts in 2 day session, the shedding occured but very low...10-20 hairs only! Keep it up!

I'm curious what you think about headstands during the yoga practice. my inclination is to wait longer than one month to perform a headstand because of the pressure it would put on the grafts.. but I'm curious how long you think it would need to heal before I can stay in a headstand for a minute or two. also I have heard that the headstand position in general is good for your hair growth and hair.. let me know if you have thoughts. even if its a short UA-cam video it would be good to know more information on this

    I have a question about post-operative recovery, hair shedding and dieting. I had my transplant surgery about 6 weeks ago and am already in the shedding phase. I understand this is normal and I’m not concerned. However, I was recently diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and my GP wants me to go on a 12-week very low-calorie diet. I know that some people may develop hair loss called telogen effluvium (TE) during low-calorie diets. Usually, this hair grows back after the diet has ended. I am more concerned about permanently damaging the newly transplanted hair grafts. Is there a significant risk of this if I do a very low-calorie diet? I am taking finasteride and using minoxidil as well.

I explained to them again on the day of the transplant while i was on the operation bed that i already have some hair growth lower than where they were willing to transplant and i would like the hairline very slightly lower and I was told they will cancel the whole operation if i don't go with what they wanted. It sounds strange to me that others have a choice on the shape of hairline when i was not given one. Is there any truth to what they were saying or where they just not a cooperative clinic?

    How long after FUE would you recommend I go without wearing a headband? I’m a woman who had it recently but I haven’t gotten a good answer from my doctor 🤔

    Can you actually do a hair transplant successfully without medication (hormones)?

      of course, but the results will be temporary as hair will continue to fall out without medication

      What about if the patient is already 35 and has a Norwood 7? I dont think more hair will continue falling in this case. @@RevDog777
