HT Planning, 28 year old (Hair Transplant)

Hello Comrades,

It's been a long time since I've posted here, but I've been visiting the forum nonetheless. I can see we have a few newtrolls. Anywho, I remember making a few friends. Spanish_Dude, how are you; man? As I would like to proceed with HT planning I would love to open up a dialogue with you for advise (you seemed like a reasonable human being). I am considering the following docs: Jones, Hasson, Wong & Cole. (I would love to have Woods, but Australia is a bit too far for me). Out of those, which would you recommend? I am 28 and about a NW4. Just started finistride a month ago. I think I'll progress to an NW6. I have great body hair and great hair characteristics. Any thoughts? Also, Spanish_Dude, any recommendations in the way of adding meds?

Kind Regards,

Supafly

Dr. Mwamba has experience with body hair, and his FUE/FIT results are excellent as well. You can see more of his work here:

A Few of Mwamba's Result Links:
900 FIT Result
1000 FIT Result with shaven donor pics
2000 FIT Result
2579 FIT Result
3509 FIT Result
Scar Grafting with BHT
Class 7 Restoration
Donor Healing

These patients have some similarities to your loss:

3509 grafts to the front and crown
[image]

1700 grafts to the front and 300 grafts to the crown
[image]

The 900 grafts to the hairline makes a big difference, but his hair has more curl than yours
[image]



2579 grafts to the front. He has hair characteristics like yours - straight and a bit fine.
[image]

I think it is good that you are thinking ahead to your future loss and gathering advice from several sources. You are on the right track.

Whenver you are getting work done in an area that has pre-existing hair, you are subject to shock loss risk. The only time when you don't have to worry about shock loss is when the recipient is slick bald :)

I think that I can achieve the sort of results I'm aiming for. I'm willing to have a little bald spot in the back, too---and I have plenty of body hair with great characteristics. However, I plan on getting at least 2--if not,3--in-person professional opinions before I do anything. If the conclusion is that I am currently not a good candidate for HT, then I will accept that. But I think I can get what I want.

I am pretty new to this so maybe there is more to it that I don't know , but I have seen Bobman's pics and he has more hair loss than you. If Bobman can have all his hair back, there is no reason why you have to leave your crown bald,

The hair on top is very fine because it's dying, but the hair on the back, around the nape, is thick and wavy. I also have thick body hair. I will attempt to get some pics of the back of my head. I am willing to undergo many procedures. The only problem is time--and that's just fine because I do agree with you when you say that this isn't something I should just jump into. I plan on having the first procedure in approximately 1 year (not only to give it more thought, but also because of scheduling and possible HM news I want to know). There's also one other doc I'm considering who I didn't mention: Dr. Jones. His stuff seeems impressive. And I suppose there is a small chance I may get enough time off to go to Australia which would mean . . . As far as Dr. Arvind is concerned, I am respectfully sckeptical. I regard Dr. Woods as one of the top, if not the very top HT surgeon in the world. And some of the things he says about Dr. Arvind's techniques make me question the shock loss rates. But, as I said, I say it respectfully because I have seen a number of great HT pics from Dr. Arvind--and I'm not a trichologist, so I don't fully appreciate what they're talking about---but that's why I'm here having this discussion! I want to understand the differences and disagreements without stirring any conflicts. I think this is a reasonable thing to want. Also, Hairsite, I am wanting to have near Wassup results. I'm willing to have a bald spot at the BACK of my head. I also have body hair which, pardon me for the improrpiety, I've been told by a few women feels like head hair--and it's quite long (most approx 1.5-2 inches). From a lot of the posts I've seen (and comments from doctors) these hairs at least take on SOME of the characteristics of head hair. Even if they remained they same length I would be able to achieve a lot with the BH follicles. Another important thing for me is to have the ability to shave my head without any scars. I know Woods is excellent for this. This is very important for me because I know that bad things can happen with even the best HT docs, so I want to be prepared for the worse case. I love this site and I thank you all for your feedback.

You are wrong about Cole, I think he creates the most natural hairlines for people of any age, from 20 years old up to people in their 60s, I have not seen one that is not natural.You don't have to go far, just take a look at the pics posted in this forum.

News flash, there are not that many wassups out there. For a NW4, unless you have great donor supply, you may be asking for the impossible. I am also a NW4 and I never once dreamt of having wassup's hair, not that I don't want it, I just don't have the donor for it.

You have to ask hairsite about the pictures, if you only want fue then you can forget about Hasson and Wong because they only do strips.
