WARNING - some video footage and still images are very graphic. Viewer discretion advised.
Patient had double flap as well as scalp reduction procedures done in the past with another clinic. He is left with severe pitting in frontal sclap and very unsightly scalp reduction scars in the crown. Temples and half of the sides are absent, having been displaced by multiple scalp reduction procedures. There is also an island of abmormally angled hair from prior surgeries.
Dr. Umar performed 3 repair procedures on him, each at approximately 6 months interval. The goal is to remove the pluggy hairline and reconstitute the entire head hair natural pattern using primarily body hair.
The video is about 6 months after the last procedure.

Using Head and Body hair
In a industry full of false prophets comes a man who physically proves there is hope.
--- It’s only after a bald man is butchered by a strip surgeon that he realises that there is nothing wrong with being bald.
It’s better to be naturally bald then disfigured.
This is the patient on the video, I'm here in town to have a follow up with Dr Umar. I appreciate all the nice comments. I personally believe Dr. Umar is the only one who could have achieved my transformation. I'm near the end of my process and need to give it time for the last of my surgeries to flourish. For all those out there who have given up hope, I can tell you that Dr Umar's work is real and that few of you will ever be in as bad a condition as I was. If it were not for BHT, this repair would not have been possible.
I was originally referred to a different BHT doctor in the U.S, but after researching on my own, I came upon Dr. Umar and decided to go with him. I feel his skill and dedication is unequaled. I have spoken to other people who had lost hope and I know of at least ONE who decided to have work done by Dr Umar and from what I can tell he is very happy. I cannot begin to describe how hard he worked on me, but everyone can see the results thus far. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Umar.
Have to go now, but if there are any questions, I can answer them later

How does your hair feel when you run your fingers through? Does it feel rough like body hair?
Please keep us updated with this patient. I'd love to see how he looks in 6 - 12 months.
The difference in his donor area, temple points and crown is astonishing! Utterly incredible.
The frontal third still looks a bit "off" (but bearing in mind the 10,000% change in his appearance that is obviously just a quibble), but that is why I'd like to see updates, once the latest round has grown in. Also, when you get the update, can we see a shot of him with Dermatch / Toppik? I suspect that, judiciously applied, he would look great.
And kudos to the patient for having the balls to get in the chair again after everything that had been done to him by butchers and quacks. He must be very happy, and rightly so.

I don't think he needs toppik, maybe grow his hair a bit longer is all he needs. I actually want to see what the body hair looks like when they are longer.
» This is nothing short of AMAZING. I am so itching to go up to CA.
im happy that this man has been able to get some viable help
for those who skepticize concerning body and bear hair, keep in mind this wouldn't have been possible with traditional transplants----a man has been really and truly helped via these sources
It's fantastic that new opportunities are being opened up for patients that have suffered as much as this one but i think that the remarkably positive change has made most posters hesitant to make any negative comments.
This did use a massive 22000 grafts. OK that if fine but it is notable.
I do not like the current hairline design. I think the angulation is poor and too straight. This could be improved a lot by bringing the mid section a little lower.

Why do you make it sound like a negative that 22K grafts were used?
Doesn't that make it an even more impressive achievement?
I can just imagine you in Paris, seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time:
"Yeah, it's not bad, but they DID use 2.5 million rivets, you know, so how impressed do you really expect me to be?"
As for your hairline opinion, I applaud your honesty, Marco.
Now that you've led the way, "most posters" can now stand up behind you and say what they really think about this case.
Or perhaps they don't wanna look like total prats by criticising something that's clearly so irrelevant in light of the amazing, life-altering transformation that's occurred in this guy!?
Hey, at the very least, because of you, this patient will now have the courage to stand up to Dr Umar and scream, "You've ruined my hairline, you b*stard!!"
Unbelievable.
PS - I think you'll find a few doctors in Transylvania who specialise in the hairlines you obviously prefer.

Perhaps another 500 single hairs to soften the hairline would make a nice difference.

I don't mean to undermine this tremendous acheivement or the tremendous cosmetic improvement for this guy. This is a life changing surgery. The reason for bringing up the numbers is that it is a reminder of what is needed for BHT into scar since BHT already needs high numbers. It is also an oporation out of the financial reach of many posteres even givern the reasonable prices of DR. Umar and certainly with others.
As for the hairline, this is something that Dr. Umar can broach. There is no less reason to comment on this than in any other case.

Forget about the hairline. His donor area is MUCH better after bht. Man. Some of those scars were bad. Good job. How short can he shave his head. I think shorter would do wonders?

blueshard, Yes, I agree with you that Dr Umar's work is absolutley amazing, but taking the Lord's name is vain to express your feelings isn't really necessary. Regards kingskid
where are all the BHT conspiracy theorists?????? I've read posts on this site and many other hair transplant sites that say BHT is an outright scam, fraud and a big lie. These conspiracy theorists (balloonman is one of these naysayers) continiue to say there is "NO" credible evidence that BHT have had any success or any proof that a single viable hair has grown after a BHT. I wonder what they are they saying now? Sincerely kingskid

You are fooling yourself, BHT has serious limitations, admit it.

Anyone who thinks BHT is a scam should have his head examined. But on the other hand, BHT is far from what people really want from a hair transplant. Let's face it, BHT hair can look weird and unnatural.

I am happy for this guy but any way you slice it, 22,000 grafts is a major blow to anyone's wallet. How many of us can afford that?

It doesn't concern you unless you need major repair. Most doctors use BH for repair, I don't see how a virgin scalp would need that many grafts.
Hairtech was I suspect silenced legally (not by this forum, nor by Dr Umar). Balloonman, like him or loathe him was one of the most knowledgeable posters on the forums, and proved right on a monotonous number of occasions. I often disagreed with him but his disappearance is a major loss to the forums in my opinion.
The first thing to repeat is that the video shows better than anything what a wonderful repair this is.
Having said that there have been a lot of BHT failures, and even with this 'poster boy' result, if you can seriously say that you can see 16,000 BHT growing on his head as well as the original hair, the 6,000 beard hair and the 1,000 scalp hair all I can then say is that I genuinely wish you the best of luck.
A friend of mine who I have only ever met on these forums but known for years has had a catastrophic health setback, it makes me feel that these arguments are irrelevant.

You hit it on the nail about the yield, that's exactly how I feel except that every time I brought that up, I got silenced by the cheerleading squad. Hanging will tell you this is normal for 22000 grafts,

Hey guys, (Yeah yeah, I know. "Here comes the cheerleaders!" )
No, but seriously, what do you think of this point - The average human head has 100,000 hairs, so is it possible that you ARE actually looking at one-fifth of that amount in the above patient?
Just a thought...

Amazing! This patient will now have "a life" again. But this goes to show that extensive research is a must when considering such a procedure. God bless.

How about this for comparison, Hasson and Wong can make a NW4 look like a NW0 with anywhere from 5000-8000 grafts.
This patient was WAY worse off than a typical NW4 on a virgin scalp.
H&W couldn't possibly fix this guy with more strip surgery.
They would refer him to Dr. Umar. ; )
This is the worst repair case I've ever seen.
This patient had multiple strip scars, scalp reduction scars, flap scars and I believe balloon expansion and recent z-plasty (yet more scars).
The temples and sides of his head were rebuilt.
The top was filled in (many scars).
The back was reconstructed (all those scars filled in).
The hairline was rebuilt to NW0 (in and around flap scars).
Anyway, some of us have debated this case before.
Please watch the video again.
IMO, the yield looks excellent.
It took 1000 legs hair grafts to nicely soften my HT hairline from 1992.
I'd say this patient needed coverage 20 times the area I had worked on... and then some.
Easily.
1000 head-hair grafts can bolster a receding hairline OR cover one medium size strip scar OR rebuild the temples. Tops. You can't begin to cover a crown with 1000 grafts.
Just one minor repair patient's opinion.
From the video:
Sofarsogood has 7 Personal Journal(s). Click here to view
--- 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. http://hairsite.com/serendipity/authors/27-sofarsogood
Video of my BHT result: http://youtube.com/watch?v=n_8uYbMTa4I
Thanks for posting those SFSG. Looking at these, I would guess that the areas would take about 12,000 scalp FUs including the large temple point areas and repair of the occipital. That kind of adds up to 22,000 fine body hairs with slightly thinner coverage. Clearly this could not have been acheived by any kind of scalp HT.
Do you remember Zydan, I think his case was at least as chalanging. He had also had this kind of experience with flaps, posibly even worse which is crazy! I don't know what happened to him.

Yeah. Brilliant comparison.
Dr Umar can ALSO make a NW4 look like a NW0 using the same amount of SCALP HAIR grafts. I was a 4 and I'm down to at least a 1 by him using only 4600.
But what would Hasson and Wong's response been had THIS guy walked in one day and said "I wanna look like Fabio?"
Their collective jaws would hit the ground at how truly useless they are in this sort of situation. The only thing they'd be qualified to do is show him the door and hand him a map to Dr Umar's! So don't bring other clinics into this that are clearly incapable of even talking to this guy, let alone fixing him!
This is the ultimate repair case from the ulimate clinic.

Much improved. However, I keep hoping for an update from endhairpiece who received a very large BHT procedure from Dr. Umar. He indicated updating us with results. Anyone know how he fared?
I dont know of any doctor that would touch or for that matter dream they could take on this case. Many lives including my own were changed by the dedication that Dr Umar has given over the past several years. Keep up the great work and giving people their lives back !
