HISTORY of gc83uk's former slick bald recipient area

[cocacola]

Does it happen often with fue, that transplanted hairs keep growing without shedding? With hst it seems that some people have a lot of hairs that keep growing without shedding, in my case id say at least 40-50% of hairs kept growing and i remember gc saying something similar about one of his procedures. Maybe that could have something to do with yield. It is also possible that some people have a good amount of hair growing of the bat with fue too, i am just unaware at this point.

[gc83uk]

For doctors who don't perform fue that often I think their yield is pretty variable, but the top fue exclusive surgeons like Hakan, Erdogan, Mwamba, Feriduni, Bisanga and Lorenzo are all getting pretty close to 100% yield.

How do we know this?

Just look at their results

It's not very common for fue or strip patients' transplanted hair to start growing without shedding post-op

Just look at their results

If I were to just look at an Fue result or any transplant for that matter I doubt i could tell if there were say 90% yield just by looking.

How can you be so sure? It's a fair question isn't it?

What I will say is those Fue docs that you mentioned really do some amazing things, some of the transformations are unreal. Could it not be down to artistic skill in graft placement rather than graft survival?

Hey cc, I've managed to keep a decent amount of my HST4 grafts, however I'm only about 1 month post op so I could lose more yet.

My HST3 actually starting falling out after about ten days which I was gutted about at the time. Seems to be completely random. Maybe it's luck or diet or who knows.

Of course there's no real quantitative way to tell exact yield rates aside from performing an actual study, but it is fairly well accepted that strip yields close to 100% and all of those doctors are getting strip like yield. I've been looking at hair transplant results nearly everyday for years and if those doctors were getting 80-90% yield I think it would be fairly obvious. Anyways I'm just saying that even if you can't tell exact yield rate you can tell that the top fue doctors are getting yield rates on par with the best strip doctors, so I think the old issues with fue yield have become kind of irrelevant.

i def kept like 40% at least after my hst in august. it just kept growing in

I don't know why everybody keep saying that GCs donor looks good, sides clearly look depleted, there might not be white dots but these gaps are still gaps that don't look natural. He got some serious depletion on the sides.

If one is to stand behind GC on a sunny day queuing at atm machine or at the beach, they gonna see something is off, people instinctively notice these things just like you can spot fake hair or wigs.
Lets not kid ourselves, theres a clear difference in density of harvested vs non harvested area

Could you please show me the "clear difference" with gc's BEFORE donor area photos and his current donor area photos?

I know the difference, because I also have his BEFORE photos - besides the well-known FACT, that different donor areas have completely different densities.

People don't care about this **** most of the time. GC your result is fantastic, good stuff. That being said, yeah didi is right in that it's not amazing regrowth or anything, but still, no one is noticing anything is off when they look at him, don't be ridiculous.

[cocacola]

Seriously didi can u please show a specific area pre/after that shows visible density loss. You always say bold claims with nothing than big words, its really annoying.

Now, what IM said its true, certain areas have different density. My density around the ears is very low and i had patchy spots of density difference there even before any hst.

+1

I too would like to see the difference, I haven't really had a proper look comparing with old photos of this exact area as yet.

I believe there is some slight thinning compared to previous photos, but I also suspect this area was already thinner to begin with.

Cheers mate, it's a definite improvement and I'm my own worst critic at times, I can tell you for sure that people looking at any slight thinning on the sides when I already have a linear scar in my donor is unlikely.

I was saying recently on here, that a very observant friend of mine who is never shy to make a comment about somebodies appearance said 'why the **** did you get a hair transplant and end up with that huge scar in the back of your head?'.

When I told him this scar was nothing to do with my HST he was puzzled and asked well where are they taking the hair from?

That made my day, especially as he is a NW6 and now he's considering doing something about it.

I agree with IM here, where th f**ck do you see such a big difference? GC donor sitll looks very good and it's only one month post op, he will have more regrowth in 8 months from now!!!

the sides are a bit attacked but give it some months and recheck when shaved at the same lenght, I am pretty sure some of the gaps will see some hair coming back.
