Will it really be worth it though? Do you have any examples?Sure? Just go a lighter shade of whatever your natural hair color is.

I don't know what your hair looks like or what you're trying to achieve. The better hair transplants have less hair/scalp contrast. If you have high contrast (ie you're white with black hair) and want to have a bit more illusion of density then you might benefit from taking the black hair to a slightly lighter brown.Will it really be worth it though?

If it doesn't work or isn't worth it, it's temporary.
I’ve got blonde hair and had a fut about 10 years ago and its taken that long for my crown to catch up.I have medium brown hair and very fair skin

I honestly think it comes down to what you can live with as an individual. I’m probably going to get another transplant but fill around the crown, to the average Joe blogs I’ll just look like somebody with a thinning crown - I’m married and 42 so don’t care as much anymore.

I do not completely agree. This is traditionally viewed as the most practical way but with better and better FUE technology, it is no longer the de facto way to go for everyone. It really comes down to personal preference. In my preference, a balding look is worse than both full hair and full bald. It’s the worst look of all. I don’t care what natural balding looks like. Leaving a balding crown after a transplant when it could be avoided is not cool. I’d rather have even but thin density across the entire scalp every day because my head will look better like that.The "thinning crown" look is the most practical way to handle the back for high Norwoods. The crucial thing for pulling it off is to shrink the size of the bald spot rather than trying to put even coverage on a huge loss area.
A natural transplant (that isn't full coverage) has to recreate a real stage of the balding process. Nature starts the thinning in the center of the crown and works outwards. There is no point where your whole final pattern is visible but the whole losing area is covered with half-density hair.

Other Factors come into play here too, like what can you afford to do now (vs later) and what you can live with.I do not completely agree.

I sent him a message on Instagram.@Omega2327 how did you initially contact Zarev for a consultation? Website says to fill out form and send pictures for consultation within 48hrs but then provides no way to attach images.
One. he is in Bulgaria so he most of his patients are good candidates.People say yes his results are outstanding because of the density of patients.
One: Is he the only one with dense patients?
Two, more importantly: Just the fact that he is able to achieve that much coverage is an indication of skill and very high graft survival rate.
To me the results remain mind boggling. Unable to understand them, and hope to be able to interact with some of his patients.
To me it’s the going further than most others that I’m most impressed with. With male pattern baldness like mine I want follicles from my sideburn/above ear area to be used and I want as many grafts relocated from the back to the top as possible while still keeping the back free from obvious scarring. If Zarev is willing to do that that’s awesome. The only question I have left is if he would require going finasteride before and after doing a transplant on a Norwood 7. I do not want to take it ever. And my hair loss is so extreme that a dermatologist told me it would barely do anything positive anyway.One. he is in Bulgaria so he most of his patients are good candidates.
Two. There are lots of skilled surgeons
To me his a good surgeon who goes further than most other surgeons are willing to go. I would consider him for that reason, but not because he's superior to other highly skilled surgeons.
I agree. I like what he does. Fortunately I don't that extreme number of grafts, but if I did I would do it. You're going to have to take finasteride to protect the transplanted hairs since they won't all be immuneTo me it’s the going further than most others that I’m most impressed with.

Is this a sure thing? I hear so much conflicting info about that. I thought that the follicles that remain on the head in the back are essentially DHT resistant genetically.I agree.

They are most of the time, but if he's pulling hairs from outside of the safe zone there's a chance they will miniaturize. Probably not fully, but if they lose half their diameter then one day that would leave you very thin on top. Of course by that time hair multiplication will almost certainly be routinely available.Is this a sure thing? I hear so much conflicting info about that.

@pegasus2: so bulgarians tend to have a denser hair donor area? From all countries. I have not seen such results in India or middle east or Europe of US.One. he is in Bulgaria so he most of his patients are good candidates.
