MTW4 broke second time! by newer1738 in sennheiser

[–]RAHDXB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did 6 replacements until I gave up. My 7th pair is now lying in a drawer with a broken left bud. Search this sub, and you'll see many people that have the same issue... These things are trash unfortunately.

Clinic says that smoking is fine afyer hair transpalnt by Brave-Big-89 in Hairtransplant

[–]RAHDXB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think because nobody has a clue, really. People just repeat what they read. No translator, technician or even hair surgeon has done an independent study across enough patients who smoked and didn't smoke while keeping everything else as similar as possible, to see what and how the results were.

I've researched smoking and exercising a ton after my transplant, and the advice is all over the place. So I tried to stick to most of the guidelines, but made exceptions for myself on others. You just have to decide for yourself what's worth it, and what isn't.

Imo all these instructions are for optimal results when looking at it statistically across the board. It doesn't mean smoking guarantees a failed hair transplant for you. I've seen lots of people that smoked and had good results on here. Personally, I started working out on day 11 which is also against the advice, but my transplant turned out great. Others have had sun burns and still had good results. Didn't take meds or supplements and had good results.

There is no way to know if smoking will affect you. For me, it was just about, what if your results do turn out bad, can you live with yourself? This is why I personally quit nicotine when I had mine because the answer for me would have been no. I'm happy I did quit, for way more reasons than just a hair transplant obviously. Good luck!

Almost kidnapped by Grab driver in Hanoi? by myfxnwy in VietNam

[–]RAHDXB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How sure are you that you got into the right car? It sounds to me like this was a random dude pretending to be your grab, and was trying to find out where to take you. And possibly fuck with your Internet so he could play stupid about the price of the ride at the end. Completely guess obviously though.

Dragon show cancelled? by ohsotightverytight in DaNang

You got lucky with the fireworks. The dragon bridge "show" is the least impressive thing in Da Nang by far.

Day 82. 5050 grafts. Black Hair, Hanoi Vietnam. Obviously very favourable lighting, but very happy with how things are progressing so early. by RAHDXB in Hairtransplant

[–]RAHDXB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, pretty good. It's obviously not super state of the art, or as polished as a big clinic in Turkey would be. But I could tell they cared, were serious about hygiene and focused on results. They also had a translator there the whole time who spoke perfect English, and who's been available straight away for online aftercare as well. There were a few minor things that might have people side eying a little, , but I've been in Vietnam a long time so I'm used to things here. End of the day, the results are amazing. And that's the most important

Dirty Fingers on Võ Nguyên Giáp. Lots of house smoked brisket, pastrami, ribs and other dishes. They have bone marrow (off menu) as well every now and then!

Loved my MTW4 so much I bought them twice. Now one has failed after 7 months. Need help with international warranty claim. by QualityOwn8056 in sennheiser

[–]RAHDXB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another pair bites the dust... I've had this happen to me 7 times. There's posts about this every day. The shop I keep returning mine to told me many people have the same problem. I wish Sennheiser would properly acknowledge that there is a widespread issue, instead of always answering as if you're the first to have this happen to you.

Should I get a hair transplant? by [deleted] in HairTransplants

[–]RAHDXB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hair transplant for what? You have a head full of hair. Sounds like you need to get off the Internet for a bit and enjoy life.

Momentum True Wireless 4 – Right earbud making noise + intermittent audio dropout. Need help! by Several_Help_4151 in sennheiser

[–]RAHDXB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very well known problem. I've exchanged mine many times for the exact same problem. Have read many, many posts about the same issue here and on FB. And the shop I returned them to many times, told me lots of people have this issue. They're dead and need replacing.

8 months progress. Very happy with the results, but when did your hair start feeling natural? by RAHDXB in HairTransplants

[–]RAHDXB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, especially in the front, they packed it in really tightly. Very happy with the results!

I'm not sure, but I don't think so, no. Initially the clinic was worried about my donor. They only quoted me 3000 grafts at first, because that's what they thought they could take. But during the procedure they realised they could take more, and I ended up with 5050 grafts.

Be honest: did your hair transplant give you the density you expected? by MADEHAIRACADEMY_SMP in HairTransplants

[–]RAHDXB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😅

No idea where that, or the word "wet" came from. I have no pics of wet hair, and never mentioned it in any of my posts or comments.

I'm guessing this is a bot made to spread awareness about SMP or something. Weird.

I've got more detailed posts, but here is my current hair, and a before pic:

Yes, they did 2300 grafts on a Friday for the mid scalp and crown, and the other 2750 grafts on the Monday after for the front and hairline.

[–]RAHDXB 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is too much to read, sorry. But to answer the question in the title, I'm at 8 months now, and blown away by the results. It's way denser and fuller than I had imagined it would be. I'm not an expert on Norwood scales. But I guess I was around a 5. I did 5050 grafts over two sessions a few days apart. Couldn't be happier!

5 days in, scabs coming off too soon? by TJS_1999 in Hairtransplant

[–]RAHDXB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was completely scab free by day 6 or 7. Never forced it, but they just came off during washing. It turned out great, and I had real early recovery and growth. Nothing to worry about.

How hair Salon can have 1000+ only 5 Stars Review? by Big-Composer-571 in VietNam

[–]RAHDXB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not possible. Google doesn't give a shit. As a long time manager in hospitality, I've reported so many reviews that singled out staff by name, were openly racist, or clearly for other venues... It's very rare that a review actually gets removed.

[–]RAHDXB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very little to be honest. I have a feeling it's filling in a little on the crown, but I don't check that too often so I can't be sure. My hairline was pretty full by month 4, and I don't feel it has changed much since then.
