    • Well sorry mate, but this plan is kinda mad. Eugenix, hit me baby one more time? Sure, they will do it, because dr Sethi likes money and he likes helicopters and flying with a choppa is expensive     And now more serious...   The buzz cut option + SMP works, it looks ok. Don't bother with opinion of  your "friends". They know nothing. What feedback? They preffered your previous balding men version? I don't think so.   Let's speak about 2 options :    1. This plan with lowering the hairline and wasting another 1000+ grafts for the front, which BTW, is your current most dense area. Maybe focus should be put on less dense areas, isn't it more logical?   So no, i don't like this option, because you will have strong frontal third and very weak midscalp and crown.  You can mix it with SMP and wear this SMP hairstyle with new lower hairline, but you will be basically limited to 1 hairstyle for life. Do you want to be limited to this buzzcut hairstyle for life and cut your hair very often?    2. Reinforcing the hairline rather then lowering it and focusing on midscalp  +  crown. It's for sure best option, if you are looking for longterm plan and don't want to limit yourself to this 1 buzzcut hairstyle and be able to grow hair longer.    Just look at this pictures, it was 7 months update :      So how can you lower your hairline when frontal hair looked sparse? Just add more hair BEHIND the hairline and everything will look fuller and hair will cover the forehead.    And that's from 13 months update :        You see this lack of density in the red circle? That should be treated. Do you want to lower hairline and leave this red area with low density? Doesn't make any sense. Reinforce red area and then the fringe will become fuller. 
    • I certainly spent a lot of time pleading with them and asking for this, so ultimately they gave me back what they thought was fair. My first procedure was in the US, my second was in Belgium. I prefer the Belgium experience as he’s very much in his element there. Everything at his fingertips and the other Drs there are very welcoming. I feel like family when I arrive. I was in Europe for business a few months ago and dropped in on them with one day notice to see if Dr. Mwamba had time for a quick 5 min hello. He ended up spending 30 + min with me on a busy day and even let me hang around to sit in on an SMP procedure with one of the smp specialists. I’ll continue doing Belgium for the follow up sessions.
    • @Melvin- Admin Hi Melvin, really sorry for the bump but can't DM as I'm not high enough level. Could I request deletion of the images from my original post? I cannot edit it. I am hoping to negotiate at least a partial refund from André Nel for the botched job, and while I still intend to make a post detailing my experience and warning people against going with his clinic, I am electing to remove the photographs of myself.
    • Thanks bro! The scarring is pretty much non existent and I can only tell when I get a skin fade.    I think they’re still maybe a little way off the skill level of Zarev/Pitella and the likes. Hair direction seems abit crazy haha, but their use of alternative donor areas is what truly separates them. Combining scalp, beard, and chest in one in one session with PRP included in their quote is a great option for high Norwood clients.   I’m glad you feel it’s too early to tell  if this will be a success, l take that as there’s still potential for more growth. I was thinking of a follow up session next year, to bolster the frontal third and vortex.   
    • Do you think? I’ve read that most growth occurs between 2-4 months.    Maybe conflicting schools of thoughts.
