yeah sure, I never thought the result would be like this, but during the 5 days procedure I was totaly convinced that the best results I might recieve would be here in this clinic, despite the fact that I was shocked the 1st day I washed my head with a shampoo (during the first week after my surgery), I thought my hair is falling down and I was so afraid, and I had a contact with Dr.A and he told me that’s normal the hair will grow again after 6~8 weeks, since then everything is fine and cool, and the donor areas(head, beard, and chest) healed very quickly and looks very normal and no1 since the first week noticed anything.

I can send you the video through e-mail. (Pharoan_1@hotmail.com)

» Zayden, your results look great so far man! Hang in there and be patient.
» There are many months of growing yet to come.

Thx JP, what I have reached right now is due to David, hairsite, and all of you. Thank you all
However, I wish to read the opinion of the well-known doctors like Dr(Umar, Woods, Cole, Armani, …etc) Is there any1 who can invite them to this thread, I would be gratful.

Nothing is playing. I have no idea what you mean by browser (computer illiterate here) but I have windows xp and use google as my search engine. Hope that helps.

Zayden whoever gave you those scars should pay for this repair, he literally ruined your life for years.

zayden_mo what is the next step for you? Do you have any more body hair left and are you going back to Dr. Arvind for more repair?

Yeah I still have enough body hair and beard, and Dr.Arvind said that I will need another session but still not organized yet.

June Update:






I feel very sorry for you. This is quite an improvement compared to before, I hope your hair keeps getting better every day.

Zayden,can you post some pictures wiht your hair dry? And do you see new hairs growing out after 5 months or this is all you got for 5000+ grafts? So far i think is a good inprovement,with another 5000 grafts in the top scalp and crown you will look as normal as everyone else.Wish you good luck.

Finally, I can see the video and pics. WoW. I cannot imagine the pain and suffering you experienced living life with such scars on a part of your body that’s just screaming for attention. Someone needs to introduce that butcher surgeon to a sharper scalpel.

Marco said it perfect; hats off to Dr Arvind for taking on such a case as I’m sure most surgeons would have shun the patient away in fear of failure. Please keep us posted especially at the 1 yr mark. I’d be really interested in seeing the progression which will provide a better visual of the body/beard graft’s success at that point.

It’s only uphill for you from this point on.

» OMG, how did he end up with scars like that?

When Zayden started losing hair at a young age, he went to a plastic surgeon who advised him scalp expansion and flap transfer.
In simple words, putting a balloon under the donor area of the scalp and injecting fluid in it over time to stretch that part of the scalp. Once the scalp was stretched, they cut a flap of the scalp. Its called a flap because its not cut out completely like in a strip. One end of it is left uncut.
Then the cut portion of the scalp is rotated and stitched in the frontal balding area.

Flap, in my opinion is not advisable for any patient. But in Zayden’s case, 2 additional problems occured.

  1. The 2 flaps were not equal. As a result there was a zigzag hairline.
  2. One of the flaps had been taken outside the safe donor area. Therefore, as Zayden’s hairloss progressed to NW 6 levels, he lost hair from the flap too.

My 2nd session with Dr.A will be next week.
Here’s my latest progress.

What is Dr. A planning to do this time?
