BHT repair with 10, 309 grafts (2105 beard; 8204 body)-6months

Yeah, he really looks great with the “wet” look. If he throws in some wax/paste and some concealers he will look very good!

» Certainly no one can accuse you of taking on the “easy” cases. This guy

This is a dramatic improvement, and gives repair patients hope to one day be normal, congratulations.

For some reason the patient is having trouble registering an account in the forum. I am trying to resolve this for him at the moment.

For the time being, I am copying below an email that he sent to Dr. Umar over the weekend.

“Dr. Umar, because I am not yet a member of hairsite.com, I give you permission to post the following information with my photos to provide helpful context.

I am a 54-year old physician who, similar to many young individuals, began to experience crown and frontal hair loss in my 20’s (1981). At that time, I underwent the generic 2 scalp reductions and HT to the frontal area from the well-known Los Angeles “mill”, without regard to future balding. As with most poorly planned hair transplants, my baldness progressed shortly thereafter and I had frontal grafts that were too “pluggy”, an unnatural frontal hairline, hair placed in the wrong direction, scarring in the recipient area, donor scarring, and a depleted donor supply.

Because my hair was long and curly, I was able to somewhat minimize the oddness of these results. However with further balding, things looked weird.

As a result, during some free time, I underwent a flap procedure from a well-established Los Angeles surgeon in 1995. This procedure should never have been done given my low donor hair supply and compromised donor circulation, and I had necrosis (death of the tissue) at the distal ends of both flaps. I did not pursue legal action (which I cold have) but focused my efforts on taking time away from work and undergoing significant repair (scalp expansion) with a highly reputable and kind surgeon in the Bay Area.

Fast forward to this year. Because of free time between career changes and financial security, I was intrigued by the possibility of body hair transplants, although initially a little hesitant and unsure of what the probability of “technical success” would be for me. I spoke with several patients who had successful outcomes with Dr. Umar and decided to “go for it” with the proviso that I was truly seeking improvement and not perfection (and with the view that things could not be made worse).

My results, as you can see, could not have been more spectacular. I had no shedding, almost immediate 100% growth in the frontal and mid-scalp areas, and current growth now occurring in the crown. Although my prior odd appearance was not career-limiting, I feel like a new person. I can not say how this procedure would work on others, as it is in its infancy and data on many individuals have not yet been published. But, as a patient and a physician, I felt like I did my due diligence by approaching a terrific and committed physician (Dr. Umar).

Because of time constraints, I also chose not to undergo a “test area” (which Dr. Umar recommended) but to have it all done at the same time. For people with need of extensive work from bad hair procedures and no scalp donor supply(and the time and financial resources to do so), body hair transplant offers great hope in the hands of skilled, ethical, and committed physicians like Dr. Umar.

I am also hopeful that physicians who have not had success with this procedure (and readily announce their dissatisfaction with BHT on the web) can collaborate to quantify their experiences and better understand why results may vary with different physicians. "

This pictoral is truly incredible. Like checkingin I really like the wet look as well. Looks really sleek and nice.

» Hey checkingin, You said It right, Dr.umar does take on some tough cases,
» between this guy and flash,you have to give him lots of credit!!!
»
» I’ll talk to you soon, i’m curios to hear about beard hair!!!

Sting, any updates? i thought you went to dr. umar for repair already.

It seems that all that Umar does is bh repair, almost every case from him is about repair, is he equally competent with virgin head NW 2 or NW3 patients?

» Once again, a great result from Dr. Umar. Can’t wait for my procedure in
» June!!! This is life changing stuff.

Hey Rooster, let me know how it goes. I want to do the same with my strip scar. You are using beard hair, right?

Congratulations!!!

A very find work.

Mr.Frodo, I have not had any surgery since Dr. A. I was going to see Dr. umar last year, but I had to have rotator cuff surgery and had 6 months of rehab. Other than that nothing has changed in my case!!!

can’t believe how he must feel now, puts it in perspective, good work well done

Kudos to Umar for recommending a test, body hiar s unpredictable, you were literally rolling the dice doing that many grafts all in one shot. You should be very thankful that it turned out so well for you.

Dr. Umar really did a spectacular job for this guy. I can see why he has so many supporters in the forum. I think Umar is slowly building a name for himself as a repair specialist using body hair. This one is a perfect example.

Usually bht repair hair looks crappy, unnatural, combover-ish, this one actually looks quite natural, even the hairstyle is quite nice. Good work.

Definitely. I plan on taking some pics. I’m counting down the days!

I, for one, cannot be happier for you. I think that the transformation is incredible, and that your situation was one of the more challenging repair cases I’ve ever seen, to say nothing of being one of the most successful. I thought it also good to hear that your appearance was not “career limiting”, it showed alot of good energy and positive thinking on your part.

You deserve this success after all youve been through. Legal action against Fleming Meyers may not have been successful anyway and its likely it could of only cost you more money, which would have led to even further financial sacrifice.

Congrats on your new look, fantastic work Dr. Umar.
