3500 FUE with Dr Azar

After reading a lot of interesting reports here, I've finally decided to share my own story.

Dr Azar specialises in body hair transplants and beard hair transplants but that's not how I got to know him, it was because of something else that he does but anyway here's my story...all will become clear...!

I first noticed the signs of hair loss and receding temples when I was 21. Three years later I started to take Finasteride. I didn`t get the impression at the time that this was helping much though and my hair loss seemed to become more and more severe so I stopped taking it.

I have to mention that my father had also had major hair loss in his time and now he has only a semi-circle of hair on the sides and back of his head so I knew it runs in the family.

I work as a hairdresser so I have a lot to do with hair every single day and the ever-increasing bald spot started to become a real issue for me.

A few years ago I started looking at the various forums and I stumbled upon the subject of hair transplants.

I visited a few doctors and a consultant to get some advice. They all wanted to use the strip technique apparently because the balding area was already too much for an FUE transplant to cover. They also said that an FUE transplant would damage the hair roots and wouldn t give a good result.

One of my own clients in the hair-dressing salon was the one who gave me the tip. She had had an eye-lash transplant from a specialist in Berlin called Dr Azar.

I went to see him and I decided to get it done with him once he had diagnosed the problem. He said an FUE transplant was not problem and he specialized in FUE with large balding areas.

The treatment was split into two sessions.

The first operation was to fill the crown area with 2000 grafts and the second was for the temples with 1500 grafts, six months later.

I took Dutasteride throughout this time on Dr Azar`s recommendation. I didn`t have any side-effects.

Here's how I looked before the operation:


Now here are the photos immediately after the first operation:


I'll be adding some more photos soon but for now happy new year!!

Welcome to the forum, thanks for sharing your story. I am glad the hairloss has stabilised with the medication and you have no sides.

I have never heard of your Doctor so im especially looking forward to the updates dude.

Happy new year pal.

Im surprised you did not have the front done first since most doctors prefer to treat the front which gives the most noticable difference.

Good point Ben I didn't even notice as I only glanced at the post. But I too would be interested in why you decided to start with the crown.

"once he had diagnosed the problem"

Would of thought that was pretty obvious.

I have more or less the same Norwood and I've down the crown and mid piece with 2500 grafts. 30 grafts/cm2 in the back and 20grafts/cm2 in the middle section.

Doing the back section first was also my preferred choice. Reasons for this for me was to check how my skin behaved after a fue (better to conceal the top and the front) and secondly because when you fill up the front the look between front and back is even more "highlighted"

wel done

Ivan0ff,

Thanks for your reasons. From my point of view you cannot see the crown in the mirror and whenever you meet people the hairline frames the face and has the biggest impact. IMO it would look abit odd having a restored crown but no front. Ultimately it is your decision and what makes you feel comfortable so I wish you all the best.

I may very well end up a NW5 and the front is massive for me hence frontal restoration.

What became of this thread? Seems a bit fake, any ideas on this by the experienced forum members?
