	Greetings all. Just wanted to share some pics of my experience with Dr. Baubac Hayatdavoudi. Firstly, before I give a brief background on my case, I want to thank Dr. Hayatdavoudi for being such a professional and considerate doctor. From day one he spent as much time as needed to answers any questions or concerns I had. I thank him and his incredible team for taking care of me. It was pretty much the most fun medical experience of my life, we all talked and listened to Bob Marley and Pink Floyd all during the procedure. I'm 33 years old. Began receding and losing hair in my late teens. I don't have to tell you how socially crippling it was to go through my 20s with MPB, I'm sure many of you know how that feels. It's not the end of the world, but it is a very depressing thing to go through. In 2007 I made the mistake of deciding to have a HT with a Dr. Meshkin. It was a huge mistake. I knew nothing about hair transplants, and besides the extremely poor results from the two strip procedures I had with Dr. Meshkin, I'm more disappointing than he didn't realize that I was a young, clueless man who didn't have all the fact. It was one of those 15 minute consults where the goal was just to get to the chair, I was in a rush, and I believe a little more patience and education would have helped me much more than two failed strip procedures. But alas, the fault lays with myself, I was a grown man and it was my responsibility to do my research and ask the right questions. And in case you read that wrong, the before pics are indeed the result of two strip transplants, both of which I was told were around 1,500 each. I still kick myself for going through that but we live and learn. I'm feeling positive, I can see the follicular light at the end of the tunnel now. My only advise to anyone contemplating a HT is not to rush in to anything. Take your time, read, research, go to consults. The most important thing in this whole hair loss ordeal is that I found the right doctor. Not just for this one procedure, but knowing you have the right doctor for future work, to answer my questions, give me advice. It's a reassuring feeling, and I'm grateful to Dr. Baubac and his staff. PS: pre-op pictures were taken the day before my procedure with Dr. Baubac, and post-op pics were taken 3 days after procedure. Opinions and questions welcome.

	Thanks Ben! It's still work in progress, as I have my crown to do next but I believe I am on the right track with Dr. Baubac. » Wow, so the before pics are after 3000 grafts.

And yes Dr. Baubac transplanted some grafts in to my strip scar but I forgot to ask how many grafts exactly. Sailtothemoon is located in [NA] and he is available to meet: NO Post reply

	1 week post op. Not much difference on top, still covered in little scabs. But the swelling as now completely gone. After waking up in the mornings I noticed a few scabs had come off on my pillow, and they had the hairs still attached to them. This happened around day 7-8 when I went back to my bed and stopped sleeping upright. Are these grafts lost if they came out around day 7-8?

	Hey man, I replied to you in more details on my post before I saw your new pictures. But like I said there, the hair are suppose to fall eventually. I was told specifically that what they transplanted was not the hair, but the DNA follicle of the hair so you shouldn't be alarmed if the hair fell with the scab. Most of my scabs from my face have fallen already or will shortly I believe but the scabs on my head are still there, although I can tell that some are just about to come off as well. If you are really concern, just call our Dr. I'm sure he will be able to put your mind at ease. Ben29 is located in [NA] and he is available to meet: NO Post reply

	Sailtothemoon, this is Eric from the Alvi Armani Clinic. The photos that you posted are perfectly normal. The hair follicles are simply shedding, this is supposed to happen and is all part of the process. Nothing to worry about. » 1 week post op.

	I didn't see any scars or plugs from your previous transplants, is it possible that you were not happy simply because you continued to lose your own hair after the 2 transplants? readyfreddy is located in [NA] and he is available to meet: NO Post reply
