» Hey Marco. How goes the transplant research? You have been posting on these
» type threads long time. Have you booked your Dr. A procedure yet?
No, Still in denial (actually not so much in denial but looking for a window of opportunity). Even after all the research, I am none the wiser as to where I would go or what approach. Still am not sure whether FUE combo or strip is the answer and I am certainly no advocate of any one surgeon. I do respect the effort and the risk that Dr. A has exposed himself to!!!
» Certainly there will be an improvement, for the following reasons.

» The scars , horrific as they are, are relatively thin and narrow, and as

» with hair in the right places. A totally shaven head shows the whole
» disaster. But when “after” comparison shots are shown, his hair will be
» long
»
» The worst scarring is HIGH above the forehead.
»
» This means a symmetrical hairline can be created a few centimeters below
» these scars , and not be too low. And when grown out, this hair will hide
» the scars.
» So, basically, he is a Norwood 6/7 with HIGH “concealable” scars.
» Of course, the right temple needs to be brought down and in line with the
» other side.
»
» His donor is thick and dense. He may even have good body hair etc, So if
» the transection rate is low and plenty is available, there is enough to do
» the front and hopefully the centre and crown.
»
» An excellent result is quite achievable
»
» So I sincerely hope it all goes well .

» But calling this an "IMPOSSIBLE REPAIR ", is simply untrue. Even an
» “average” hairline below the scars with long hair covering them, will be a
» massive improvement .

any chance you are down playing how difficult this is so that u can make dr. arvind look incompetent if zayden doesn’t end up with spectacular results?
Dear forum readers,
There are many distinguishing features of Zayden’s case.
I shall discuss some of them here.
Zayden’s flaps were taken, (at least in part), from above the safe donor area of the scalp. As a result, progression of MPB was expressed as loss of hair in the flap. This accentuates the asymmetry.
The flaps are unequal and asymmetrical to start with. Unequal length of the flaps coupled with their differing hair directions can be seen in the pictures.
2 strip were also excised to perform FUT to rectify the asymmetry created by the flaps. While not being successful, they did reduce the available scalp donor.

Really? I didn’t notice any strip scars in the back of his head.
Don’t be ridiculous Frodo. This is a tuff case. But not “The most impossible.” .Any improvement is a bonus. And correction of bad flaps and scarring are around the internet you just have to look. I know Woods . and Cole have a few. I like the post op work looks very promising. But what I don’t like is the marketing. I think if any patient looking for repair first contacts a doc in private has the work done and reports after with detail. It’s a much better approach.

What about the angulation of some of the hair from the flap, are you going to correct that?

Zydan had his case sent to every surgeon that is affiliated with this board. Only two offered their services as far as I know. One of these was Arvind and the other was Bazan. Luckily Zydan made the right choice.
What marketing are you talking about? In fact your comment makes no sense. This is a report after with detail as you suggested so where is the problem???

I can’t find the thread but I remember very clearly his case was sent to ISHRS too according to Zayden.
Come on marco you been around long enough. This guy needs to be repaired and he is on his way. The internet is a marketing tool period. Don’t think that other docs have not done pro- bono work for a minute. But if they anounced it all over then can you imagine how many phone calls they would get with inquiry’s about “he you fixed this guy now how about me” . This was not to take anything away from the repair he is getting and wish him well.

it’s fine if dr. woods doesn’t wanna fix him but it’s not very nice for him to dismiss this as no big deal when another doctor tries to help,

my case was first known to everyone including the well known doctors through hairsite, and without this I could not recieve any help or support or even determine what is the best or worst for me. So I agree with marco, its a report with the updates which for sure will return with a positive feedback for me, and for sure will help the others who are confused about HT.
Neither hairsite nor Dr.A asked me to post anything, so its not a marketing thing, but I am just posting because am sure that everyone here is interested about my case for better results, exactly as before, and am totaly convinced about posting my updated results(bad or good) will serve ever1 or even some1 in the future. I hope you agree with me Duck

Zayden I agree with posting your updates and results. You are doing the board a favor and it’s a good thing. I remember when you first posted and asking for ideas . People recomended docs and you could have had David contact them for you. I know only 2 responded but for example if 5 or 6 responded the ones that you did not chose it be all over here and just another topic for people to comment on. I have seen this before. That is what I meant about the marketing thing. Good luck and look forward to seeing you get a nice repair you deserve it.
