My Full Epic Story; 2 years & 2000 FUE Dr. Alvi Armani grafts later ... PART1

Hair Transplant
41

And people still try to claim that hair doesn’t matter. The guy in the first couple of pics is a stone-cold, basement-dwelling beta male. The guy in the second group of pics is a full-on alpha male who I wouldn’t want anywhere near my wife. I don’t even have to know this person and that’s the immediate reaction I would have upon meeting these two different looks, and first impressions are 90% of social success.

The work looks good. No bullsiht, it really does. And that’s a lot of result for 2000 grafts. It looks natural and it looks like a full grown adult man should look.

But the pics are misleading because of the major differences. To make the receding guy in the “before” pics to match the “after” shots, look at all the stuff you’d have to do:

– give him the same expensive suit

– bronze his skin tone

– toss the glasses

– shave his sideburns

– dye/highlight his hair color

– shift the camera angle

– change the shot’s focal length

– shift the lighting & contrast

I don’t expect all the photos ever taken of anyone’s HT work to be perfect copies of a set of earlier pics, but this is quite a bit of difference.

42

I don’t even bother posting on HT section anymore like I used. The criticism, hypocracy, the a-holes, the multi-account hidden users (ahem rev), and hidden agendas make me sick to my stomach. You don’t have to be a freagin genius to notice that Armani’s results here are continuously getting bashed around the clock meanwhile results from other clinics WITH SAME EXACT SCENARIOS are ommited from the BS attacks.

I don’t see any of you ESPECIALLY HANGIN barking up the other clinic’s threads concerning “lower hairlines”. How in the world is that a VERY LOW HAIR LINE??? Compare it to his before photo, it’s not that much lower…why am I arguing this…you clearly know this already. Hanging, admit it, you are just 100% against and anti- hair transplants. You mock them continuously, you know, your favorite term “future islands on their hands”, and you repeat it as if you were SO confident and SO sure it were going to happen when in all reality you base it on your assumptions. You will ALWAYS find something to negate and a reason why “people should listen to you when you say ‘stay away from hair transplant’”. You’re a pesimist on every single forum section. Why are you so negative my friend??:confused:

I was actually browsing other clinics transplants specifically the hairline and gathered about seven (7) to ask “why aren’t you there barking them up, or why haven’t you barked them up”?
But forget it. There’s no winning. Some of you will just go make new accounts, complain about the nice suits in the after-photo, bring up donor supply for the one trillionth time, and say “why is armani doing this”?
Yes, correct, he’s the only surgeon in the world that performs hair transplants, donor supply only applies to him because other clinics have unlimited supply, his after photos are so nicely dressed with model-like poses, and his hair line look so spectacular that you compare it to your hairline on your crown and damn the result in every possible way. YOU WIN!:ok:

This is getting oooooold, let it gooo folks. Give due credit where deserved. This is a fantastic hair transplant especially for the number of grafts received. Ofcourse!, he’ll look 100x better in his overall appearance in the after shot, after all this is still marketing! This entire forum is a giant market! That doesn’t nullify his results!

I am not anti hair transplant

I think transplants should be reasonable given future thinning possibilities
most I see are not

Do I pick on Armani? if I have made comments I do not single out any docs. If I see pics i post about those pics, not the docs, Did I say ARMANI, in my post? nope

as I said I am not anti transplant, I just think most guys think about as far as the nose on their faces. They think HEY MY HAIR LOOKS FANTASTIC NOW COMPARED TO BEFORE THE TRANSPLANT

most never think 20 yrs down the road
when i say agressive, I mean this guy has the hairline of a 20 something, it looks great, but when he is 50 how will that 20 something hairline look? with baldness for miles behind it

much better to look naturally bald than look like a freak with a thick frontal hairline with bald behind it

What do you guys know about 20 to 30 yr results of hair transplants,? you dont

I once had A FAMOUS HAIR TRANSPLANT SURGEON, send me a brochure, back in the early 2000s, this guy was even featured on Dateline I believe, as one of the nations authorities on HTs at that time

he was quitting his practice in disgust
he trashed his own profession in the letter and brochure he sent me. Have you ever seen that before? I have not

The reason he was disgusted and frustrated is this.

He said basically he had been judging his skill and proficiency for so many years based on immediate before and after results, which he was quite a good surgeon so he felt very proud.

Recently he said, he started to review patients who he had performed surgery on, 15 to 20 yrs earlier.

He was both mystified and discouraged at the results. Most of the guys whose crowns he had made look so great at the time, now had receded so much they had a HALO around the crown, of bald hair.
Guys who he had transplanted such nice frontal hairlines had a severe bald area behind the front, and or a halo crown, and many had sides receding into NW6 to 7 territory. and there was absolutely no way he could fix the hair or repair or supplement the transplants at this point because the donor hair was woefully inadequate supply.

This both frustrated and disgusted him, and he quit the profession because of this. Now granted this was before body hair transplantation was available. so that might be somewhat of a game changer now , but from the spotty results I have seen with body hair nowadays, combined with the huge cost, i would not hold my breath for that to come in and save most guys.

As I said, this is one of the reasons I think most guys are clueless when it comes to future thinning, and when they use up so many grafts in such a small area, for a short term benefit of looking like a male model. I think thats insane.

this has nothing to do with any specific doctor, and I know the patients request this. It is both the patients and the docs fault

You know, I often think Hangin is a pain in the ass and a bit of a twonk.

But this post of his is ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON.

45

That said, I don’t think MOM’s hairline is particularly aggressive (although knowing his age would help). He certainly wouldn’t want to go any lower though.

I’d also like to see some post op pics, if possible. If he had grafts placed throughout the frontal third as Pats’ picture suggests then this is an amazing result and very graft conservative. If it is only the lowering of the hairline then I’m not so impressed - 2000 grafts is a lot of grafts for such a small area. If that is the case I’d question the yield a little as it is still a little thin at the hairline. As I say, great if he’s covered the frontal third (and it looks fine), but not great if 2000 grafts have lowered the hairline by half an inch and it still looks a bit thin.

But I have no argument with hairline placement in this case. It’s low but not too dangerous.

That kid on the other thread though (Gone 786?). They lowered his hairline so he had about 2 inches of forehead (if that!). Insane.

And all the people on that thread were forgetting this basic principle of hair transplantation (that donor supply is LIMITED! Why do you think everyone and his dog is waiting for HM?) and were all saying, “Hey that looks great!”.

That thread really made me realise how many shills (or tragically shortsighted kids) are on this site now. Disgusting really.

That said, I thank MOM for posting his results. And personally I enjoyed the autobiography - a good and fun description of his experience.

The Dr who sent me the brochure trashing his own profession was
Dr. Emmanuel Merrit (spelling) in Denver, His practice was taken over By Dr Harris

Some of the reasons that Armani gets “bashed:”

  1. Their results, especially the hair lines, are consistently very good, and some people (including competitors and the financially challenged) just don’t like that.

  2. They advertise here, heavily, with the “blessings” of the powers that be. And their employees cherry pick only the questions that they want to answer.

True. His hair line and surrounding temples look very good. And I am sure he was made aware that he will have to begin (or continue) some kind of hair loss regimen, be it natural or otherwise, in order to maintain the rest.

didnt realize it was so simple as to just ask someone and they will tell you how to maintain what you have, and it magically works. Gee how nice

Pls explain the tons of guys on the board who are desperately searching for a regimen that will do this, they have tried everything and nothing works. So they end up losing more and more each year and hanging out on the HM forum, hoping for a miracle cure.

Its not so simple to just find something to maintain what you have

I assume after the patient’s balding pattern, age, and heredity have been considered, the HT doctor will discuss the placement of grafts in areas “most susceptible.”

I think maintaining hair in the other areas of the scalp (less susceptible) can be done with a high rate of success via such things as DHT blockers and/or Propecia, though I don’t personally recommend these. Even you were able to maintain what you had with just, what, saw palmetto and vitamins.

Hangin…

Lemmie ask you… I am new here, FAR FROM UNEDUCATED IN EITHER Life, Business, Schooling, nor HT’s… Have you actually had an HT?

What is YOUR situation? Why are you even here? Balding? Depressed as a result of it? Curious? or do you have a flawless set of hair have a great life but just need a little attention? Botched HT job and in hiding? Personal vendetta against Armani?

Whats your deal?

And to clarify things… No i dont live in a fantasy land…

What PEOPLE think of my means nothing… what I think of myself means everything…

I dont think 20 years down the line when it comes to my hair… for a few reasons…

  1. Very little evidence and case studies with high technology HT’s is around
  2. Lord knows if ill be around
  3. its not MY PERSONAL concern… I never said older people dont care about their appearance… however, ME PERSONALLY, I beleive in setting up my life when I am young and enjoying the fruits of my labour when I m older
  4. Im not in denial either that YES, as another fellow poster put it… dont tell me a thick head of hair doesnt make you look like a power businessman…
  5. With my personal life plan and my beleifs (which at 27 I have much more accomplished as a result of my (and I challenge you on this), very hard to beat work ethic and confidence (for the last 9 years I have worked from 7am to 9 pm EVERYDAY with NOT ONE DAY OFF).
  6. And frankly, yes It is more important to have this type of hair and confidence at the earlier stages of your personal career in order to fully benefit from youth in many more ways than one.

Put the new me, and the old one head to head with (as another poster saoid) with identical clothes, body shape, tan whatever … in the boardroom togtehr… and i will absolutely demolish him.

I dont see the use of looking on top of your game at 60 years old… At 60 I want to enjoy my hard work with my family… Not stree about my temple angle and density lol

Again…

My opinion…

Cheers

MoM

i dont understand what you just said

Hey Cal…

Thanks for the comments man… Really cool of you…

I think my answer to the before and after of everything i sthat its as i said in earlier posts…

A perfect reflection the the ACTUAL results of an HT

You see, the before is not only a before picture, but a reflection of my mental state.

As I said ealier… you are paying from Grats, but the reslut is what it does to your person.

The After is not just a showcase of my physical results, but my mental.

Just so you and EVERYONE knows.

I ONLY WENT BACK TO ARMANI, drove over 10 hours JUST TO THANK HIM. I didnt go for pics, nor did I go for a follow up truthfully, i mean what the point of what when all is well…

I went to thank him. I dressed like that because thats how i felt. I drove 10 hours (be it comfortably … first long term trip i took in my new ML350 lol) in a suit because I felt increbile and I wanted to give him my thanks and throw some of that mental sucess the clinics way. I also had NO CLUE that I was going to take after pics!!! I actually almost refused and didnt want my face showing because of my career… but then I learned about these forums and figured… hey, why not share… celebs are always in the paper and you plainly see it so why be shy… Ill be proud.

Thats why before and after always looks differnt.

Because you feel differnt.

You all seem to talk is a very forumalic manner. But ironically the people WITH HT’s talk in an almost spiritual way.

Its that X factor that people WITHOUT one cant and wont every understand.

But for those of you who willing to at least try to realize that X factor… all the power to you…

To all the rest you wanna talk only numbers, internet facts, letters from retired doctors who boched jobs because of old technology… go ahead…

Im the one with a smile on my face and in my soul.

Cheers

MoM:-)

I can go find a huge list of CEOs, who are bald as billiard balls

how does this jive with your “theories”

Ross Perot - Wikipedia
Ross Perot lack of hair has not hindered him much

Jack Welch, seemed to do ok in his business career and he rose from the bottom, and last time I checked he didnt have much hair

if your career success depends on your hairline, perhaps you have not much else to offer other than your appearance

Intelligence brains business savvy trumps hair, any day

Ronald Perelman

Michael Milken seems to be doing ok,


Michael Milken

Another Bald Success Story

Jeffrey Katzenburg

So I guess you guys are right, you need a sharp suit, and a hairline of a 25 year old guy to make it in todays boardrooms

I am sure the guys wife is a dog and he struggles to pay his bills, too
must be that bald curse

56

MoM,

I am actually in a similar life situation as you, 27,I run my own real estate investment business (and like you have had major ups and downs!), and have since 21, and have a similar hairloss pattern currently, but am def heading towards NW 6, (not there yet and progressing slowly, but the pattern is there), which is why I haven’t taken the plunge yet on a transplant. But I do understand what you mean about a full head of hair giving back the confidence that baldness takes away, I’m sure everyone on this board does, thats why we’re here. I’m certainly not going to slam you for getting the procedure done, it looks good and you are happy so that’s what matters the most.

I’m suprised however that noone on this board has commented on a few other factors of your situation since they are continually rehashed over and over again. First, I think your estimate of 6000 FUE and 10k maxmax seems to be on the very high side…as far as the cases presented here and maybe one or two other forums I have visited, I’ve seen maybe only one or two FUE patients with that many grafts and a few others with even close to 10k total grafts, and they were mostly young, with their donor still very strong. Now I’m sure there are others around, and I know you don’t care if your donor thins, but just points to consider.

More importantly, I’m not a doctor, but nearly every board member who has gotten a transplant is on some type of meds, probably for a reason. You did have moderate loss at 27, and only you know your family history, but even you admit that you know your loss will progress further. If you think a NW6 is likely, considering your low hairline, you’re going to have to compromise somewhere with a thin top, thin/bald crown, or something. Ok, I realize you don’t care if you are thin/balding in 25 years, but 1) it may happens sooner and 2)I feel the greater risk is that since you have the strong low front, it may make it easier to detect a transplant with a very strong front and not enough behind it (although sometimes you do see that pattern naturally) I guess I am really just wondering, since you have been a longtime lurker, and you have invested a lot of dough into your hair, why aren’t you on meds? At least minox and possibly a topical dht blocker at the minimum, I mean minox takes like 1 minute to put on and it could save you years with hair!!!

to M.O.M. and everyone else -

My post back there breaking down all the photographic changes in the before/after shots was not intended to convict this patient of some kind of fraudulent crime here.

I pointed all that stuff out like the suit and tan and everything because of the beta/alpha comment that fkhrls made back there. I was pointing out that there’s a lot more going on to cause such an extreme change in M.O.M.'s entire “vibe” between the shots.

Forgive me if this an ignorant comment.

but couldn’t he just shave his head completely bald if his hairloss progessed to a point where it looked unnatural. I’d rather have hair for the best years of my life and shave down to bald when I got a bit older. by that time maybe HM would be around anyway and if not i’m sure it’d be a damn sight closer and within reasonable waiting distance.

Do you have even a rudimentary understanding of logic fallacies? If not, learn what “Straw Man Argument” is, then stop posting. KTHXBY.
