If he buzzed his hair all the way down cut close,it would look MUCH better. As he is wearing his hair here,he would HONESTLY look WAY better bald.Im sure that the transplant work was well done but Wearing your hair in this manner(in the above photos) when the loss is so great looks dreadful. Either get more grafts or…just buzz the hair off.Seriously Best, J.

Pfff Finally surgeon begin to work with your donor instead of only transplanting hairs from A to B so next stop please " FUE multiplication" THANK YOU
I don’t agree that he looks better bald, it’s a definite improvement but he would look better buzzed down.
We still don’t know how much of it is beard hair and how much of it is head hair.
Fair enough Skywalker. If he DID as it says,get an additional 4500 and THEN buzzed it down,he would look way better than being slick bald. All the best, J

Good grades for the yield but the design and artistic aspect of it is a different story.

Truly amazing work Dr.Umar. This man was a Norwood 7. Wow!
For all you guys with negative responses, wake up. This guy has to be thrilled. Now he could manage his new head of hair anyway he wants.
How long did it take, from slick bald till he had hair in the pic’s?

Although the patient disagrees with you on the grades for design and artistry, I gladly accept your generous grading on yield.
Excellent results!!!Good job!

This guy shoudln’t have wasted his time and money to look ridiculous.
he had a nice clean bald spot with no scars. He should have shaved his head comepletely bald…maybe then he would have changed his mind.
Doctors should advise their patients to try the shaved look before committing to a major transformation that might make them look worse.
This just goes to show the HT industry isnt that advanced yet to perform successful operation on norwood 7’s
The patient has tried the shaved look. He came with photos of himself spotting a shaved bald look that he tried for years. As the videos have revealed he prefers his new look to what he had before. Many would agree with this view.
Thank you for your input.

Everyone is entitled to judge with their opinion, but the fact is that the patient is extremely happy and he has transformed his life thanks to Dr. Umar… that is the point of hair transplant cosmetic surgery, to get the look you miss and want… Its great to know that a NW7 can now perform this, which was not possible 10 years ago… Bravo Dr. Umar.

Thank you for the response Dr Umar.
At the end what matters most is whether or not the patient is satisfied.
I guess my expectations are still too high
“I guess my expectations are still too high”
Pompodo, you have to remember that it is 70% beard hair. If it was 8,000 head hair grafts used then I agree it would be very disappointing but even though beard hair is generally better than body hair in most cases that have been shown it still gives very poor coverage compared to head hair.
Dr Umar, if possible, can you please post photos of what the patient looked like after the 4500 graft second round?
