    Good Hair Transplant Surgeons In East Asia Or Southeast Asia.

    Wasn't Dr. Poswal stealing pictures from Hasson and Wong's web site and passing it on as his own patients? In the end, Dr. Poswal blamed it on the webmaster. These are some serious ethical issues and provide insight into his overall character.

    5 1/2 months post op.

    Minoxidil is a man made substance whereas Zinc occurs naturally. Minoxidil may or may not work. It works for some of us whereas in others it does nothing more than produce dry/flaky irritated scalp.

    5 1/2 months post op.

    zinc promotes hair growth along with Biotin. Were battling hair loss on a few fronts: 1.

    Excellent use of fue & bht in Norwood 7

    5000 FUE grafts removed and transplanted in one day does not sound plausible. This is impossible. I can believe that 5000 FUE grafts were removed and implanted over the course of a few days; however, not in one single day.

    Re: 5 1/2 months post op. - Some things to consider Are you taking Propecia? You should have been on Propecia for at least one year prior to the hair transplant.

    FUE Vs. Strip: Megasession of 3000+ grafts

    I have not seen enough fully grown out FUE megasessions to be sold on the idea that a 3000+ graftFUE session will always rival that of a 3000+ STRIP session. I wouldn't risk it. FUE is a much more time/labor intensive surgery when compared to STRIP. If you are considering a 3000+ graft...
