Skype Consultation with Dr. Diep - Los Gatos, CA

Thx

1200 - 1500 i went for 1500 i ist want my hairline fixed and then hopefully work for BHT for further thickness in the future

Results are best if you have course hair

But how was the overall result? Im doing FUE. He was one of the few willing to do FUE with my hairtype

I am only a little over four months out. I originally had more hair than most people who get a transplant. I hope the end result is worth it. At this point it it wasn't. 12,000!

Please reconsider going somewhere different. Someone else just posted a new review on him and it's not good

Ugh i already dripped half the payment

I just checked the new review on him and its just someone regularly panicking about hairloss after surgery happens all the time ive read a lot!! Of reviews lolll. Either or if i have further hairloss after surgery thats when ill consider turkey cuz i cant afford to spend more

Mine looks good so far but other people besides myself have commented on the his lack of bedside manner. The techs are very nice and so far mine looks good at 4 months. I wish they had a patient advocate working there who has been through the process and can help you along the way. The secretary doesn't know much but she's really nice.

Yah im not too concerned with the aftercare i have done a lot of research but i understand how someone who hasnt would feel abandoned and furious. I am in this for the results thats my biggest concern

If you start to lose more hair after the procedure, will you get another procedure?

Did you get the procedure done yet bro?

Tomorrow morning.. Im excited and nervous. Most concerned is taking the plane back with the scars omg that gives me hella anxiety thinkin bout loll

I feel you. Aye CONGRATS bro! I'm excited for you. Keep us updated

About time lol. If you remember and you're not too nervous, tell Dr. Diep that Jamario will be ready for his procedure in about 2 months. And don't worry bro, the scar heals in about a week once the hair grows out, just wear a baseball cap. Good luck bro, and don't forget to update us when you can.

Yup, can't wait to get mine done. Wish he would do me now smh

Do you have enough money saved up?

Not yet but my plan was to save up at least 5k over the summer and take out a small loan for the rest. You can't put a price on things like this you feel me?

Wby?

Exactly, you can't. I was gonna take out a loan for $7000 but my credit history wasn't long enough so they only approved me for $1000. I only saved $6000. I was gonna save for about 2 1/2 more months, and then pawn a lot of my stuff.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Unfortunately I need a car first but after that Ima save at least 5-10k. If I have to use caboki or topiks until, so be it lol. How much is Diep charging you though? He got me down for $15,000

Also have you took a look at Dr Pak? He does black people too and I think he is a lot cheaper

But does he do black fue and does he know how to do proper hairlines

Wussup jamario! Got my surgery yesterday and lol ya dont think a baseball cap will work im not concerned bout when im back in canada my biggest concern is goin thru tsa and they tel me take my bat off lol. Also i can tell that to diep but regardless hes still a 5 month wait after u even book! Then its a 1000 dollar deposit

Yeah your right that's what I was thinking bro. Ima go with Diep. But hey your stuff is looking pretty nice man! Can't wait to see the final results!

Only wants money. Does a good job but you will need a second one that how he lines up the graphs on purpose. His YouTube videos are suspect because notice how in ALL of the videos he never shows the crown work that's because he doesn't fill the crown even with a 5000 graft procedure. Istanbul would be a lot more feasible the only thing is I don't think they can do the front hairline like Diep. And he also cheats customers out of their referral money.

Omg go to turkey for it and save your money people! Try Dr. Koray Erdogan, his work looks amazing. I would have gone to him if he did FUT, since im female, but he doesnt so I went elsewhere. Ya'll throwing your money away.

Ya unfortunately turkey doesnt really work with curlier hair

Erdogan has examples of this online so dunno what you're basing that on.

But what about for black men though?

Iunno bout the payment plan but he gave me till 5 days before the surgery to pay it off and on average the surgery date is like a 5-6 month wait. I dont know if id be able to apply for some special payment plan tho cuz im canadian lol. Eitha or this smoking is a struggle for sure and that info you gave me Bout bad resultz due to smokin just scared da hell outta me lollll. I got 2 weeeks to quit!!! Jamario have u tried contacting a dr yet?

Yea bro, I actually had the skype call with him about 3 weeks ago. He told me to save for the FUE procedure and that he doesn't recommend FUT because it leaves a scar. He recommended 1300 grafts for me. He probably doesn't want to do more because I'm only 20, but my problem is not that I'm receding, I was just born with a widows peak hairline that's kinda high. The payment plan should work for anyone if you have a good credit score over 600, I don't know if it's different for Canadians. And bro I knows it's hard to stop smoking but, you better smoke weed or Vape as a substitute lol. I'm sure weed is ok to smoke right, or is it smoking period?

How long it take to get a credit score of 600? I just want to lower my hairline a little bit but I don't know because Dr. Diep is expensive

1500 and tes this is for frontal zone ill do more later possibly in turkey

And are you paying $12000 US for that amount of grafts?

Yah, well technically 11500 including trip deduction. And not paying i just officially paid it all off lol

Aren't you going to turkey? Why would you have to pay $11500 for 1500 grafts.

It works out at about 7 dollars per graft which I believe is more or less the normal in the US

I hear miaminyce! I took had skype consultation with him. But I've booked my ticket for Turkey. The doctors here are just as qualified and do excellent work from the reviews I've read. But I'm not able to afford them :-( the doctors in turkey are just has qualified and do good work but at a more affordable cost!!! Research just need to take place so that $ don't compromise quality work that will give lasting outcome. D... Keep us posted on your decision and journey !!

Typo! I send via my cell phone :-)

Ya unfortunately the turkey guys arent the best with ethnic hair and ive learned from other sites that many of em hire paid trolls to endorse their clinics.

That can be true, but we don't know until we actually try. The most that can happen is I don't get enough thickness and even if I have to go back i will still be saving regardless. Dr K only does 2000 grafts a session on ethnic hair. Which I think is great on his part because he is being honest in regards to what he can actually do with respects to our coiled hair. I need about 2500. But even with that I don't mind flyi g back a year later for touch ups:)

Sorry whos dr k? U mean dr koray erdogan? Hes probably the only dr id try over there. But eitha or ill go to diep to crisp my hairline.

I don't know if you saw my reply a while ago but Dr. K is Dr.Karadeniz

He's an ishrs and iahrs Dr who does both FUT (also called fuss) and fue. He does African hair.

What is Dr. Karadeniz website so I can see some of his work?

Dr.Karadeniz baby!!!!

Yup

Dr. Diep quoted me $17,000 for 2500 grafts lmfaoooooooo. He asked me if I seen some of his work I told him yes he started talking about Jamaica and breadfruits etc and how much he enjoyed it. But I felt he was more for my money than anything else. I felt he was trying to sell to me. After I spoke to him I knew he wasn't the doctor for me. I've seen good and bad reviews from his work even with Caucasian hair. Noone is guaranteed 100% excellent results. I still have my hair line he just needs to fill in some spots. Definitely not $17,000 worth. In my opinion anyway.

Honestly, that sounds about right coming from him. I'm assuming you're getting the FUE procedure. 1500 FUE grafts from Dr. Diep is $12000 so $5000 more for 1000 more grafts is about right. FUE does take more time than a FUT procedure.

Funny thing is he quoted me for a FUT which he states is "cheaper" which it is,as it's an older method which may leave a scar.
For negro hair in women it's FUT is the method suggested. I'm going to turkey for an FUT method that's the funny thing. Lol

I'm paying $4300 for 2000 grafts FUT method with flight hotel etc $5055.00
I was told 2500 grafts with diep for great density. So I will only be shy 500 grafts :)

AEK is owned by Dr. Karadeniz and he was also one of the few Doctors that does majority of the HT in Turkey. Please keep in mind, that there are good and bad Doctor's are all over the world. Just like there are good and bad Doctor's in America.

Is there another Dr. Just as good as Diep that is less expensive and does African American hair?

But he's the best when it comes to doing black people hair because he knows how high or low the hairline should be

Are you African American? Dr Diep is really expensive but ill go to him if I don't have any other choice

Ya fa sho! When im like dying for more info on his work i just run thru his african american playlist on his youtube channel and peep the 1500 graft ones extra hard. I got 3 weeks left tho im hella excited

Haha I feel you bro, I'm excited for you

Bro what age are you getting yours done at?

Congrats bro! Keep us updated!

What age you thinking about waiting until you get your procedure done bro? I'm thinking maybe age 23 for me

If you're talking to me, I am getting mines done at 20.

Oh ok cool. With Dr Diep bro? Also do you plan on getting more work done if you start to recede? I want to go to Diep but I gotta save money first

Yes with Dr Diep, and if I do happen to recede, yes ill get more work done

Wow that's crazy. I talked to Diep and he said for me to wait until 22 or 23 just in case I recede. I'm African American as well so I don't know why he told me that. Also he said I would owe 15,000. How much will yours cost?

I'm mad Dr Diep made me wait saying I was too young when we're both the same age lol.

Idk why, are you receding a lot? How many grafts did he say you would need? He told me 1300. Maybe he doesn't want to do too many grafts on young people because it reduces the amount of donor hair you have and you may continue to recede.

Oh see that makes since then. I have always had a large forehead and he did tell me that he doesn't want to go too low because it looks weird when your older. I'm not receding at all but I will probably need more grafts than 1300 because of my forehead.

If you don't mind me asking, how much is yours gonna cost?

We're in the same boat lol. I not receding either, I just naturally have a slight widows peak hairline. And it makes my forehead look big. My forehead just sticks out in front of my hairline. But my procedure is $10,500

Oh ok I feel it. Lowkey I want this done right away! Who knows what girls I'm missing out on just because of this lol. Nah but age 22-23 isn't that bad of a wait so I'm good. Plus they may have a cure for baldness by 2020 so who knows. Regardless good luck bro! And save me some girls when you get it done, don't take them all! Haha

Bro I feel the exact same way! That's crazy that we are in the same exact predicament. If I were you, and if receding doesn't run in your family, or even if it does but you have a long way to go before you reach that age where males in your family recede, I would get what I could get done now. Because having a big forehead or receding can take some of your confidence away. I know after I get this done I will definitely have the confidence to even become somebody famous. But anyway good luck to you too bro, how ever long you decide to wait.

Bro that's SOOO crazy because I thought the same exact thing! Lol like once I get this done and get my confidence back, I was gonna try to be more open and even famous myself. And you right bro, I may just get some work done piece by piece. Good lookin out though. Let me know how it goes!

Most definitely bro, ill keep you updated for sure.

Bro this is a weird question but do you use shampoo or conditioner at all on your hair? I stopped using it and I don't want to make things worse by not doing so. I just rinse with water.

Yes I usually use shampoo. I'm not sure if you have short hair, but if you do, you can probably get away without using it. But I don't think it can make anything worse.

Ok cool. Good lookin out bro. You got Twitter? If so follow me

you guys are way too young to be spending that kind of money, if you have to save to get it, im 35 and only had my peaks done by a great dr here in Houston cost 2750 , 60 for Uber because my damn wife was made that a spent MY money for that amount of money over 10k WAIT

But it's worth it though. Life's too short to not do all that you can. Plus saving that amount will be easier right now since there isn't a whole lot to pay for you know what I mean?

Are you African American?

No, I am caucasian.

Glad to hear you had a successful procedure.. can't wait to see your results

Thanks man me neither. Im hella nervous from My first sleep i hope indidnt dislodge anything!!! I took a couple sips of soda after the surgery later night at home and read the dos and donts and im like DaaaaaYm lolll. I had to quit smokin few weeks ago so im out here strugglin

Honestly just look up the different results when people use acell alone or when they dont makes a big diff. And as for long term effects? Its just pig plasma. One cause of baldness is lack of blood circulation in the area so it makes sense to add some. Eitha orr i watched three movies and they gave me a xanax and some other pills before the surgery. The only thing that hurt me was the injections for the numbing agent. Everything else i cud barely feel. Even takin out the donor area and adding to recipient i didnt feel at all. Most of the time i was unsure what part was goin down. Diep took out the donors and the nurses split them up (like 2 or 3) of em and like 2 of em werre putting in the recipients to my hairline! I cracked a cpl jokes here and there second movie i fell asleep i think they put on some disney movie and my brain wasnt havin it lol.

And actually diep talked me into adding another400 grafts for my temples. Which i was hesitant about but really needed my temples done. Im still unsure about my hairline tho and been lookin at it the past 5 hours in the mirror

Any mo questions just dm me fam

I altogether got around 1830 grafts or some like dat

1830? No wonder, and I didn't know if you wanted me to DM you but you payed $12000 for 1830, or you coughed up some more coins?

Lol i paid bit by bit but no i coughed up a bit more at the last moment cuz yah either that or i go to someone who isnt as experiences with african hair right? Regardless business is busoness and id rather pay then be a dude wit a jacked hairline man. U know how brothas roast lolll

EXACTLY Fam lol that's what I'm saying! Plus it's nice to get our stuff proper at a young age because life is too short you feel me?
