r/HairRestoration • u/WallabyUpstairs1496 • Feb 03 '24

This is a subreddit for users to get more personalized attention. Currently in /r/HairTransplants post may not even last 4 hours on the front page before falling off, and the subreddit is likely on the verge of not having new submissions show up unless you sort by 'New'

5 Upvotes

The subreddit format isn't meant to deal with a very high volume of users who all need personalized attention.

Back when /r/HairTransplants was first getting going, submissions would be on the front page for a few days, giving ample time to get help and commentary.

Early Last year, posts only lasted one day. Now a post can fall off as soon as one hour unless it gets quick upvotes.

Duplicate posts in both subreddits are encouraged. Your submission falls off the front page without solid advice? Post it here. Your submission gets a ton of good advice but you want more? Post it here. You just feel like posting it here, just cuz? Post it here.

Currently, posts here last for months.

I am working on getting new moderators and expert helpers to help new patients to this sub.

Dr Ratchathorn full-day swap: offering 14 Nov 2027, looking for Dec 2026 – May 2027

1 Upvotes

I have a confirmed full-day (morning) appointment with Dr Ratchathorn on Sunday 14 November 2027. If you hold a full-day date between mid-December 2026 and May 2027 and need to push it back, I’d be happy to swap. I’m in Bangkok 22 Dec – 8 Jan, so late-December dates are especially easy for me. Any swap goes through the clinic. DM me!

M29 Title: Best hair transplant clinic in Delhi NCR + Is finasteride mandatory?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m considering a hair transplant and have shortlisted these clinics:

Eugenix, Gurgaon

Cult Aesthetics, Gurgaon

QHT, Gurgaon

DHI Clinics, Safdarjung Enclave

MedLinks, Safdarjung Enclave

Alloroots by Dr. Alok Sahu, Greater Kailash

Would love genuine feedback from people who have undergone HT at any of these clinics, especially regarding results, surgeon involvement, donor area and long-term outcomes.

**My second concern is finasteride.** Is oral finasteride really necessary after a transplant?

Are there people who have maintained good results and their native hair for 3–5+ years without oral finasteride, using topical finasteride, PRP or GFC instead? What has your experience been?

Please share genuine, long-term experiences rather than clinic promotions. Thanks!

Quick list of surgeons that tend to have higher number of reviews and may be in good standing with the hair transplant community. THIS IS NOT COMPREHENSIVE, it's shortened to fit in the sidebar,

Also, THIS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED SURGEONS, THESE ARE REVIEWABLE SURGEONS. These are just surgeons with a very high number of reviews that someone can search through and do a deep diligence dive into their qualifications, flaws, and strengths.

We implore you to see our full list here and editors notes here

For general hair loss issues, please checkout our sister subreddit

/r/HairLoss

Rule 1:

No spam

Rule 2:

Don't be a dick to any hair transplant patient, even those not on our subreddit. There is much more leeway to public figures, influencers, and people in positions of authority, but this doesn't mean you can random insults, what you say must be grounded in a specific critique. But you can insult the moderator WallabyUpstairs, who believes in total leeway for any criticism against him, as he feels that there should be high leeway to criticize people in authority. This exception does not apply to any other moderator.

Rule 3:

Any financial conflicts of interests must be disclosed if they're related to any advice given, including multiple degrees of separation. Our subscribers absolutely have a right to know of all biases for any advice given, and anyone caught circumventing this may receive a permanent ban. Financial conflicts of interest must be disclosed in the 1st or 2nd sentence.

Rule 4:

No direct commissions. We allow representatives of a business or clinic granted that they follow rule 2. But receiving a direct commission incentivizes the worst type of behavior and advice.

Rule 5:

If you're going to name a clinic in a update or review title, you must name the specific surgeon that worked on you. If there was no doctor involvement, you must name the head technician. Updates without anything being named is ok. If a clinic refuses to list the doctor on their website, then the clinic can not be named in the title.

Rule 6:

If you work in the hair transplant industry, you need a flair to indicate that. Reach out out to the moderators to get your flair established.

Rule 7:

Do no speculate on anyone's mental health. Not even a person in authority or influencer. No loopholes, don't even give an implication or 'sentiment'. Yes we have high leeway for people in positions of authority but not for this. But this does not apply for the moderator WallabyUpstairs, who believes in total leeway for criticizing him.

Rule 8:

Absolutely no 'thirst' comments against female members of the hair transplant industry. Don't even try. Don't try any plausible deniability or faux ignorance. No, your way of doing it is not 'classy', 'charming', or 'high minded'. You're not different. Exercise some impulse control. Sexualizing female members of the hair transplant industry on other forums will also results in punishments. Just don't do it.

Rule 9:

If you are a clinic, supplement, pharma company, or any other type of marketer, do give unsolicited messages to our users. If you receive an unsolicited message, we would appreciated an alert, and you can also report them to the admins by clicking on the 'report' button at the button of their message, or by pressing the flag in the chat.

Rule 10:

Generally no results and other posts by clinics/surgeons. Though we don't have anything against surgeons posting their results in theory, our front page is already crowded from patient postings, so we generally don't allow postings by clinics. Though there may be instances where its good for our community, such as important info. But self advertising type posts are definitely not allowed. I'm trying to develop a subreddit where clinics can make posts freely including their results here https://old.reddit.com/r/HairTransplantDoctors/ Although its not officially launched, they can start posting results or any other posts there. Doctor ARE free to comment here, please dm the mods to obtain an industry flair.

Here are our extended list or surgeons you can scout

THESE ARE NOT RECOMMENDED SURGEONS, THESE ARE REVIEWABLE SURGEONS

These are surgeons that just have a decent number of independent reviews that you can do a very thorough search and DO YOUR HOMEWORK if they are good and good for your.

/r/HairTransplants Moderator Code of Conduct

Code 1

There is total leeway to criticize moderator WallabyUpstairs1496 . People should be given high leeway to criticize people in authority position. I, the person who is writing this, WallabyUpstairs1496, can set boundaries for myself, but not other moderators. Please treat all other moderators with the same respect you would give anyone else. But for critiquing moderator WallabyUpstairs1496, you have total leeway. As for other authority/influencer/moderators off this subreddit, you have very high leeway, but not total leeway. Don't speculate unflattering things about their private life or mental health or anything like that.

Code 2

No financial favorers or gifts. This is not only a subreddit rule, it's a reddit-wide rule https://www.reddit.com/r/HairTransplants/comments/14rtbuq/full_disclosure_a_clinic_reached_out_to_me_asking/

Code 3

Anyone we criticize has a right to give a statement for whatever criticism we give. If we can fit it in within the character limit, we'll edit it into the post where we criticized such entity.

Here is an example where Spencer Stevenson "Spex" was banned from this subreddit for purposefully being deceptive about disclosing financial conflicts of interest, and then feigning faux-ignorance about it. He has led many people to a path of not the best hair transplant experience since he has people on his list that are not in good standing with the veteran class of the hair transplant community. Many people with 0 number of full journey independent reviews, and even a hairmill operator. But despite that, we included a statement from him after he was banned.

https://www.reddit.com/r/HairTransplants/comments/12674rs/update_on_the_spex_hes_been_banned_for_all_of/jealbyq/

Here is another example where Melvin Lopez and Patrick Hennessey kept recommending one of the most horrific surgeons known to the community, Dr Diep, while taking a monthly fee from him, despite them full knowing the full extent of his horrific practices and horrific results in patients, even going so far as to lock and remove meta threads discussing Dr Diep.
