    Wondered too.

      Well minoxidil and dutasteride brought mine back earlier this year. They are faded, but faded is better than non existent. I had no temples in December 2012, they were really back there. It's easy for me to tell because I have a tiny dot birthmark on one side of my temples and saw it gradually become covered with hair in the summer. So it does work.

        The only place I know for sure minox did anything was on my temple points. It won't work miracles or anything but it will most likely improve them. The triangle points were pretty much gone on me before and now I have some semblance of that triangle.

          greatjob, it's too bad there's no messages allowed here, I woulda asked you some questions about a post you made a while back. I'll have to tell you through here. You remember when you said how cheap Indian FUE doctors are and you mentioned Bhatti, Dogonay[?], and Erdogan(sorry if misspelled). Well after you made that post I looked the doctors up, saw some of their patients results and actually contacted Dr Bhatti for an appointment in May 2014.

          Really if it wasn't for that post of yours I would have thought U.S./Eastern Europe=Best HT doctors. It is so expensive here man, $8-10 per FUE graft. The amount of grafts for my FUE with Bhatti would cost me an arm here. Thank you for that post! Oh and my question is have you gotten an HT in India? Or did you just recommended those doctors out of word of mouth/friends you have?

            I have not had a hair transplant there, I had one disappointing one in the states and about 9 months ago I had a procedure with Dr. Rahal in Canada. I recommend them based on me living on transplant and hairloss forums for the past years, I have seen a lot of great work coming from them.

            Just to clarify Dr. Bhatti is the only one in India the others are in Turkey. If the doctors in Turkey offered strip I probably would have traveled to see them, but since my first procedure was strip I already had a scar and I don't have the density to get enough grafts from fue. Go over to the hair restoration network forum and you can see a bunch of patient and doctor submitted cases from those doctors.

              That dude in the picture didi posted would look like shit even with temple points. Temple points are the least of his problems.

                Yeah sorry, I know they are from Turkey, IDK why I bunched them all together. Yes, that's the exact website I saw their work in. Not one negative comment on Dr Bhatti is what impresses me, in relation to his asking price. I saw more than enough full documentations of his patients from pre-op to 8-12 months and he really does seem to be one of the best doctors. It's too bad politics runs every field and he is still not "recommended". Well at least that I know of.

                He upped his deposit price to $500 this year, it was $250 one day on his website, then literally the next day it was $500. I guess because he's getting so many patients he raised the deposit price. Still, I won't mention any names, but that's a lot cheaper than a $2,500 deposit here in the U.S. from well known reputable doctors. That is a heartbreaker, when you struggle to save up $10-12k for a HT, then find out last minute that you need $2.5k more just to make the appointment.

                  Yeah $2500 is about what most western docs charge for deposit, pretty crazy Bhatti is only charging $500 and I can't believe he used to charge only $250. I heard he charges like $1/graft, is that still his price?

                    In my opinion, men lose their temple hair as a sign of aging.

                    I have seen guys with toupees , wigs , hair systems and the evidence is clear. guys with full heads of hair do not have this WIDE forehead with no temple hair.

                    I have seen men who have receded back but kept their temple hair. They look pretty damn cool in my opinion. It frames the face. Here is a famous example........

                    [IMG][/IMG]

                    Notice no matter how much a guy balds, his temple hair frames his face and he looks better? I am very surprised more doctors dont do temple hair but I guess donor supply is an issue quite often.

                      Yeah, $1 per graft - economy package only April and March I think. $1.20/graft, standard package, it says (recommended) next to it. And premium package $1.40/graft. 12.36% sales tax. So if you get quoted let's say 3,000 grafts at $1.20, you pay $3,600 + $445 sales tax + $500 deposit = $4,545.

                      And lucky me, my sister is a flight attendant, she is allowed to give 8 free flights a year, so guess who is getting free flights to and from India?

                            Is there another photo of him without pushing his forehead down?
                            I guy will a full head of hair like that and no temple points is very rare indeed. I am sure there are exceptions to every rule .

                            Every guy I see who has a transplant or wig or hair system gives themselves away with no temple points.

                              His hair is meh, that is kind of a flattering pic

                              Mario Mandzukic (26) from Wolfsburg and former Dinamo Zagreb player. He is currently joint top goalscorer of the Euro with Gomez. He is born in the close region to another Croatian energetic forward, Ivica Olic, and shares much of his mentality.
