Let's compare Gaz donor pre-op 2012 and post-op 2013, no?

300cm2..no way.. average NW6 is 200-250 cm2. he was nowhere near NW6.Think Thane.

IMO his bald area was 10cm x 10cm in the worst case scenario, that's 100cm2 and he should have 4500 FUs growing in this area...that's 45 grafts per cm2...

This is more like it. I will confirm later.

GCs bald area was about 80-90cm2. 9cm x 9-10cm.

I'll tell you how I know, because the hair piece I wore was 10cm diameter and the hair piece slightly covers the areas with hair.

Admittedly they have put about 700 in the front area which wasn't in the original 100cm2 area. I suppose a few hundred have been lost on the edges, because I asked them to increase the density on the edges to give the appearance of a more natural smooth result, hopefully you follow me there with that.

Also it's worth pointing out that in HST 4, they didn't put any grafts at all in the middle back area. They did the front area, near forelock, about 2 inches back from forelock, all the edges, the front (hairline area) and the also concentrated on the very top-back where there was virtually no hair.

So the area with that Red square 'i think' has only had one pass, which would have been HST 3. You can probably verify from an after HST 4 photo where the grafts were implanted, I'll have to check and see if I have one showing it.

I said AT BEST, Gaz Also that red spot that I painted is really bigger than a square cm. Just making my point, that you need AT BEST (but more probably even less) than 1800 FUE grafts to get your result. Just my point that the results don't look like regrowth at all to me. You'd have depleted your donor, like it is now. And you'd have some basic coverage, like you have now. Just looks like a normal FUE result to me.

Just done.


Just done. Yeah, and?
I can see an even distribution of hair onto a former completely slick bald area; that indicates, that practically everything they implanted so far - produced finally healthy terminal hair.

Try to find all gc's BEFORE photos and feel free to count all the hairs you can see now - with the help of gc's AFTER photos.



Concerning the recipient area result/yield - not at all. Of course it's also possible with normal FUE - basically.

Concerning the look of the donor area thereafter, and THAT'S the point - feel free to compare:

By the way: Could you please try to guestimate the size of James Bald's recipient area and the amount of hair per cm2? Thanks in advance ...

If your point is that some FUE can really butcher up your donor and leave huge scars: I totally agree. That's why I think HST is still the best we have. But there's just no evidence at all of any regrowth, quite the contrary in fact. All evidence points us to none to very little regrowth.

You said 300 at best, I'm telling you straight that it's nowhere near 300. I'm not referring to anything else.

I believe you man Just didnt want to underestimate it and have the discussion with people that they though I underestimated it I was just pointing out a best case scenario.

lol ok

Now things look even worse, 15 grafts/cm2 and theres was 100cm2 bald spot,suggests many grafts didn't grow.

I'm pretty sure the red square here is closer to 0.5 to 0.75 of a cm.
