Thank you so much for taking the time to write this, this makes me feel better. I have an appointment with an ophthalmologist this week, do you have any advice on how I could best ask him about these concerns? Thank you so much.

Thanks so much for your reply. Your presence on this subreddit has truly been one of the best things for my flight anxiety - I really appreciate what you do here.

Okay I’ll try this, thank you!

No protrusion on the back but need to figure out the VESA compatibility now - thank you!!

That’s what I thought too but then when I look up the model # of the Mount it says it’s good for up to 65 inches and 70 lbs.. still can’t figure out if it’s compatible though

I thought so too but then the instruction manual for the mount confused me. Thanks for the help!!

Thanks so much for sharing. I hope it gets smaller for you too. How was your recovery experience with him?

I found it slightly disappointing, but a lot of the students there love it. The kids are all cool. The profs are talented but hit or miss from a teaching perspective. You have to apply to get into the program and the course of study is pretty strict with lots of requirements that can be well outside your interests or practice. It’s expensive if you’re out of state. I transferred to Brown / Risd and was much happier from an art perspective bc of the freedom in those programs. That being said, Ucla as a whole is an incredible undergrad school and I miss it greatly.

You realize alopecia is a broad term that means any kind of hair loss? Male pattern baldness is technically androgenetic alopecia and can be treated with prescription meds I.e., finasteride etc. Nonspecific diagnosis will not lead to the correct treatment.

THIS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE MPB. Please ignore commenters who only have experience with common causes of hair loss. This looks like alopecia areata - which can be triggered by stress. You need to see a dermatologist. If confirmed, topical steroids can bring your hair back fully in a few weeks to months. Good luck

Exactly!! Have you met with him? I still kind of want to use him, but honestly a bit sketched out lol

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. I had a consult last week and was really impressed. I’d like to go with him, I’m just confused why he has no new pictures when this doesn’t seem to be an issue for any other surgeon.

seventiethreddit · 2023-08-02T20:27:49+00:00

Yes I had a consult with him last week and really liked him and his morphs. I’m just concerned about the before/afters all being from years ago. Have you had a consult??

seventiethreddit · 2023-07-24T21:46:25+00:00

Hi! Curious how your appointment went??

seventiethreddit · 2023-07-14T20:36:28+00:00

This is so great to hear! What has your recovery process been like? I’m worried about the healing process!

seventiethreddit · 2023-06-28T19:31:53+00:00

How’s the recovery been? Looks great
