Look at the males on your mother’s side of the family. That’s more indicative of your likelihood for balding than your father’s.

And yea your transplanted hair actually grows, lol. The hairs don’t even “know” they’ve been transplanted from what I’ve read. It’s just like moving a plant from one side of the yard to the other. They’ll grow if they’re in the right environment. Which they are.

And those transplanted hairs are DHT-resistant. Meaning the follicles won’t die, just like the hair on the side and back of your hair never dies.

If I were to get one I'd go to Dr Cinik's Clinic in Instabul, Turkey. They're a bit pricier for Turkey standards, but cheaper than the US. They don't over harvest. Know a few dudes IRL that have gotten it done there so far and it looks great. One got 4k (like 2.8k euros) FUE and another got 3k and then another 3k FUE. Donor area was NOT over harvested at all. They know what they're doing brah.

I recommend looking into this specific clinic for your second operation. You're going to want another (even if you don't need it) :P

Yea I had to come to the humbling realization that I did my homework on everything except the domestic US clinic I went to. Throw in the fact that there was a guarantee that they’d replace any grafts that failed to grow, granted I have the donor hair to give (I do). And the doctor’s credentials had me sold. Should’ve realized it takes more than that.

But so far it’s looking good. No point in crying the blues because I could’ve picked a better US clinic. It might just turn out alright.

If it doesnt turn out alright, its not the end of the world. Just shoot me a PM and they will fix you right up, im 100% srs. The results this doctor is getting are amazing, and this is coming from somebody that used to surf HT forums daily for months, with people all over the world sharing results, opinions, advice etc.

"The flowers bloom, then wither... The stars shine and one day become extinct. This earth, the sun, the galaxies and even the big universe, someday will be destroyed. Compared with that, the human life is only a blink, just a little time. In that short time - people are born, laugh, cry, fight, are injured, feel joy, sadness, hate someone, love someone. All in just a moment. And then, are embraced by the eternal sleep called death."

I may or may not have told you prior that I’ll contact you in case my transplant doesn’t yield the results I wanted by 1.5 years. I’m at the 5 month mark right now so I’ve got some time. But when if/when it comes to that, I’ll PM you for the link to your doctor. The guarantee they gave me might also cover giving me extra grafts for free so we’ll see how it unfolds. Appreciate the help brah.
