Dut takes a little bit of edge off my libido, but not enough to be a problem. No morning wood but no performance issues when I need things to work, either. I wish I didn't have the very slight side effect, but if I don't have hair on my head, I'll have problems that constant boners won't fix.
congratz bro, you helped to remove the ban on gay guys on this forum
Oh, and I think I talked about FUE in an earlier post. Basically, creates a scar field in the donor area that can create complications in future procedures, you CAN see the scars and it can often lead to a "moth-eaten" look in your donor, and it's VERY easy to fuck up FUE and transect grafts you're removing. A surgeon has to be a true expert to do FUE and get viable graft yield equal to FUT. There are only a few surgeons in the world who I would let touch me with FUE. Gabel is one of them. Some of the best FUT surgeons are not ones who I'd let FUE me (that includes Rahal and Hasson & Wong). Ray Konior and Jerry Cooley, in addition to Gabel, are two of the absolute best in the world and I'd trust them completely. Complete perfectionists.
Hey, shit, look at that. Yeah, I've got a number of friends who have had work done and might benefit from being here. Gays tend to have more disposable income (no kids, etc.) and focus on looks, so I think they probably get surgery WAY disproportionately to straight guys. Lots of guys with hair transplants, rhinos, etc. I've probably had three dozen guys ask me about jaw work since I got mine.
so only libido hit but not erection quality hit?
I mean, maybe like somewhat weaker erections? Not a super big difference. I chose dut just for the potency; figured just take the stronger med and not worry about hair loss anymore.
what's your stats? height and weight?
you're legit such a treasure to have here, thank you
Ha! You give me too much credit. But thanks--happy to help. I really vividly remember being in my teens/twenties and hating the way I looked, so I enjoy passing along whatever knowledge I've built up over the years.
I know of three in NY: Bob Bernstein, Carlos Wesley, and True & Dorin. They're all talented but not among what I would consider to be the "best of the best." Bernstein specializes in older men (50+). Check out iahrs.org; that's the premiere patent advocacy group for hair transplants. They have a list of recommended surgeons and they really vet the doctors. That said, even within their recommended docs, I wouldn't go to just anyone. In North America, I personally think the best are Gable (for FUT or FUE), Hasson & Wong (for FUT), Rahal (for FUT), Cooley (for FUT or FUE), and Ray Konior (FUT or FUE). Really, you'll probably have to travel for a HT. It's a pain, but worth it. A botched transplant is almost impossible to truly fix and will make you look really uncanny.
He only looks gay in your eyes because the guy almost looks perfect, it’s just perspective, if you saw a women with lips like that, and her skin was perfect, you would drool, exactly how a women would feel for a man, men are the most judgmental to other men because obviously the perfect man, is the only type of man you would see as attractive to a women, but some falios you disregard because you aren’t attracted to males
You'll be happy you switched. Bernstein is a good surgeon, but most of his patients are older men getting conservative procedures to get a little bit of hair on an otherwise fairly bald head. Gable works much more frequently on younger patients who want a more aggressive/youthful hairline. Having been through this with Gable, I can tell you that he's attuned to this aesthetic and knows what younger patients want. He's also incredibly ethical and candid, and will tell you if your goals aren't realistic/achievable.
did you also get an eppley jaw implant?
remember to post the before/after here
Thanks! But it really doesn't bother me posting any kind of pics. What's the worst that can happen, y'know?
according to media this site is filled with hateful, misogynistic, homophobic potential terrorists
If someone can't handle the comments on this forum, they have bigger problems.
The ones I posted on Tuesday were brand new, so I'd take a look at those. I'll update in a couple weeks.
They can if they're inserted through lower eyelid incisions, which mine were. It's resolving, though, and almost gone. Unusual to have lid retraction if you're not doing a lower bleph.does cheek implants cause lower lid retraction ?
Can you PM me the cost of the procedure?
already answered it in the thread
cant find it, can you quote
It's complicated, bc I was slated to have customer malars/zygos plus removal of the previous jaw implant, an inferior mandible border shave, then a new custom jaw implant. That, combined, was roughly $30k. When the jaw removal didn't work, they refunded some of the surgeon's fees, surgery center, overnight nurse, and Implantech fees, but impossible to tell what the cost of JUST the custom malar/zygos alone would have been. Something around $15k, probably.
I use SPF the next day, so no issue there. I use Sunday Riley's Ceramic Slip cleanser, which I love, and use their CEO and Tidal moisturizers. Their Juno moisturizer oil is awesome--I usually mix a few drops into regular moisturizer at night. Avoiding gluten and dairy help with skin, too--they're huge inflammatories.
My angle projection augmentation was 12mm per side. I would've taken it down a LITTLE bit, like to 10mm, but it really doesn't bother me.
No, that's not why. And I wouldn't describe it as "discomfort"; there's just some sensation. The inferior border shave was going to be of the bone itself after the Yaremchuk implant was removed. The planned shave is shown (very roughly) in red below.
