Joe Schmoe SFET hair transplant surgery result -7 months (Hair Transplant)

“Joe Schmoe” is well known to the forum readership. He has a history of prior FUE and BHT at another facility involving mainly the hairline, frontal scalp and crown.

He wanted his hairline softened and the shape and direction streamlined to taste. The aim is for a subtle but evident change in the hairline.
He also wanted density added to the mid scalp.

7 months ago he underwent a 3000 SFET procedure to achieve the above stated objectives.

The breakdown of the donor sources were as follows:

Head donor: 1293
Nape: 597
Lower abdomen and upper pubic areas: 1115


The foregoing are before and after photos in a self explanatory sequence:

Great points Schmoe. You look great. Different doctors worked different parts but both managed to give you the desired end result. Keep it up and good luck.

People are all ruffled up because they are fed up with you pretending to know what you are talking about and not being able to back up what you said.

People are all ruffled up not because of pricing. Everybody knows Dr. Arvind and Dr. Umar has the most competitive pricing for FUE/BHT as of now.

Hairtech-you brought up the pricing - promoting a 'lesser cost' BHT without doing your research first . I am not ganging up on you just holding you to your word especially to research it .

I have no need for any further work at this point in my life. I can say I have put the situation to rest . If at any point in the future I feel it necessary I have the right doctor and enough body hair to fit my needs.

Hairtech is a valuable poster generally in my opinion, and anybody who wants to slow down the BHT propaganda (for I have to say that is what I think it is now) when the results are generally so poor is helpful in my view.

Not againt BHT - I desperately wish it would work - but the phrase "show me the money" (especially as it costs enough :-) ) is particularly apt.

Photos are hard to compare - from what I can see the scalp hair grew well - but I do not think the same can be said for the BHT.

With regard to BHT, if the customer is told that BHT is experimental then there can be no complaints.

It gets more interesting by the minute with you. Now you admit that in your opinion, $8-10 per graft is too much. Funny you never mentioned how you felt about Dr. Harris' pricing when you were working for him.

Ever walked up to Dr. Harris's patients and told them that they were overpaying for the procedure? I hope you did express your thought provoking opinions to Harris' patients while at his clinic.

@ schmoe

Joe Schmoe SFET hair transplant surgery result -7 months

a few more things..

price.
most of you know that you get a discount for large amounts of grafts by most Dr.s, so generally 'x per graft' doesn't really hold up.

keep that in mind when you're pricing HT; there's many Dr.s that offer discounts for various things (photographed results; paying in cash vs financing etc)

I don't know how at liberty I am to discuss my pricing so I won't.
35k is a bit higher than what I paid though.

You guys also have to keep in mind, it's a process, or journey of sorts; you dont walk into a clinic, drop down 35k on the table and walk out with your Jake Gyllenhaal hair.

set goals for each surgery then set a final goal; decide how much you can work on each time.

some of that linear thinking is comparable to that of a really obese guy walking into a gym thinking he's going to walk out of there looking like nitro from american gladiators

1 year and 8 months later..

lordy.. I leave for ONE day! ;-)

I think there may have been a little confusion regarding the yield results and late growth;

While Dr. A's surgery was integral to where I'm at; Dr. Umar worked in areas untouched by Dr. A (there may have been some slight overlap in the back, I'm not 100%) BUT Dr. Umar did the midscalp that was left untouched by Dr. A at the time along with the very frontal hairline(in front of Dr. A's)

So any growth you see in particular areas would essentially be the result of the Dr. that worked in that area.

Hope that clears up any confusion (if there was any regarding that)

Lol.

Just make the claim that Dr. Umar asked me to post.
BTW, it's not true.

This is just a difference of opinion about our feelings toward certain clinics.

I'm just a guy who is lucky to be in one piece after 18 HT procedures from three docs going back to 1992.

You are a NW1 seeking celebrity in the HT world through hosting a "HT internet show".
I do believe you care about patients but have a very specific motivation and have had major drama with a few clinics.

Different perspectives.

That's all.

No you are clearly mis-interpreting everything and trying to spin something into negativity about me to make me look bad, and you were probably asked to do so. Frankly I don't care.

If you read my posts concerning this particular thread I merely stated that schmoe got a good result, IMO from both doctors... and then I said as a matter of fact that at $5.00/graft that a 7000 graft transplant procedure is around $35,000.

I never once said that this case was a failure.
I never once said I did not believe this case.
I said a case like this costs X dollars.

Price is part of the procedure.

Stop spinning to make me to be something that I am clearly not.

Hairsite,

$8-10/graft is Dr. Harris. He only does BHT after everything is exhausted, the patient is fully aware of unpredictability and he approaches it by implanting 2 BHT's per site. And again threads are for public posting. It is thought provoking and a matter of fact and that is why I bring up price..

Hooray for hair,

You read me wrong. I think both doctors probably contributed to the end result here. It was established that Schmoe was 1 year out from Dr. A when he went to Dr. U. So IMO and this is speculation, both clinics contributed in a positive way. It cannot be confirmed but it cannot be denied, and especially if there was a delay in BHT from Dr. A's procedure.

Hairtech,
Am I imagining things or are you insinuating that most of the finished product is a result of Dr A only? It's fairly obvious to me that you don't want to give too much credit to Dr Umar. I don't know why. Personal reasons perhaps?
Listen carefully to what Joe Schmoe clearly states regarding his BHT work, and then tell me which of his two doctors deserves more credit..

Re Dr A - "It's hard to tell if the survival rate was low OR that the body hair just wasn't robust enough (maybe both)"

And regarding Dr U - "As far as Dr. U's yield rates go; everything came in well.. "

Not to mention the following irrefutable comment -

"I would see pictures before the surgery with Dr. U and I wanted to throw away most of the pictures"

I don't know what your beef is with Dr Umar, but it's fairly transparent that you have an agenda against him.
Oh, and PLEASE post a link to one, JUST ONE, of Dr Jones' successful BHT patients. I, and others, are desperate to see his wonderful (and inexpensive) work!

» Well then let's fix this to reflect exactly my opinions.
»
» A. Dr. A and R.Umar both charge pretty good prices for both FUE and BHT to
» date... also does Dr. Bisanga.
»
» B. I still think that Schmoe and others for that matter pay too much for a
» procedure that is unpredictable. Period. Luckily they got a good result
» from BHT. No brainer. And this is not mis-spreadining information. It is
» giving my opinions and my thoughts, so I have that right. What I believe
» is mis-information is not telling everything about a procedure, which
» includes pricing.
»
» C. Dr. Jones charges less per graft than his scalp prices however I do not
» know exactly what that is but I will find out for you.
»
» So I think we are crystal clear here now aren't we? Mis-leading goes both
» ways IMO. And so I hope I am dead on for you on my opinions, hairsite.

Next time you may want to get all your facts from Dr. Jones before you start posting as if you know his work very well.

Every person has a different tolerance level. This is Schmoe's thread. It will be up to Schmoe to decide if the procedure was too expensive for him. If you want to vent about HT pricing, you should have started a new thread for that.

I will look around and see if I can find some examples. I did not know much about his work with the exception of him being one of the first guys to do FUE/BHT in North America.

It would also be helpful to see links to Dr Jones BHT work when you post his BHT prices. I tried to think if I had ever seen his BHT work since I have been on the forum and dont recall

In today's prices... I would not be able to afford it. So what is your point? Bringing up prices is a fact of life.

If I were looking for a clinic to perform a procedure on me and I am at the financial status that I am currently, I would WANT to know how much it took schmoe to fix his head which was somewhere in the neighborhood of $35,000 plus two airline tickets and hotels... One to India and one to Rodando beach California.

HT,

Question...

If you had any hairloss, say NW4 or above...

How much would you personally pay to get your hair back, Hairtech?

Nothing negative, just curious.

To get one's hair back (and everything that comes with it) for the price of a nice Toyota is well worth it, IMO, (if you can fit it into your budget).

If we could get our hair back for peanuts, that would be great, but an HT is expensive.

Minox is cheap, proscar is cheap, elective surgery is expensive.

And there are no guarantees.

Reality.

BHT was used to "soften" my former HT hairline that was made up of larger grafts.
At the ISHRS 2007convention, 12 docs from 10 countries, many techs and one famous forum moderator
acknowledged the BHT growth. Click the link for more about my case.
