      It reminds me of digital movie theater houses. They actually advertise it like it's better. Notice they never actually say HOW it's better. They just say "Digital!", with the exclamation point. There's no benefit at all to the audience to watching the movie in digital. In fact its a loss, if anything. That digital picture is put together with pixels, the smaller and denser the better. Film doesn't use pixels, its like a painting. Or you can think of it as infinitely denser pixels. Digital will never catch up with film when it comes picture quality. The reason theaters like using it is the same reason we all have given up on film for our family pictures and movies: cost and convenience. Not because it looks better.

    There are a couple comments on here about how some are disappointed with Zach's result, but CLEARLY Zach is thrilled with it. In later videos (full disclosure: big Try Guys fan), his hair looks great and he is more confident than ever, so I'd call that an incredible success. I think it's a good thing that his results are "underwhelming" because that means they didn't fully change his look. They just elevated it, and that's the point.

      @@IrateWizrd in private behind closed doors we don't know how he actually feels about it. I think part of his excitement is from the reaction of his hair stylist, surgeons, and overall being on camera. If he's happy with his results then he won't get another one. It really depends on how long finesteride continues to deliver him results. It thickened up his already existing (native) hairs which is why his hair looks more robust now. At this point, a transplant is needed for further improvement. Avoid the robot. There's only 1 or 2 doctors in the US that are fantastic with it. Otherwise stick to manual extraction. Nobody has an infinite amount of donor grafts. And Zack is likely to lose a lot more hair in the future seeing his pattern before the operation. He needs to conserve his donor supply.

    The potential psychological benefit of having the haircut the day before is to begin the process of adapting to the post-op look a day early. The alternative puts the entire drastic change on the day of surgery - which psychologically might put more mental impact on the surgery itself…. This approach sort of “eases” the patient into the post-operative look more gently. Just so,etching to think about as plastic surgery is at least 50% psychological impact.

    I was pretty much bald on top and sides but 22. I went to Bxxxxy medical clinics and they encouraged me to start thickening my hairline. He made it sound like I should start early, but I suspected I wouldn't end up with enough hair. Thank God I did! Had I taken his advice, I would have a useless hairline work nothing behind it and a scar at the back of my head. I would not be able to wear my head shaved. Generally, if you are very bald, the result isn't great.

    Informative video. Thank you. I had a skin cancer surgery on my face, right at the hairline, centrally located. There were some complications and initial scar required revision. It was months before it looked better. I was actually thinking of having hair transplanted near the scar. Thankfully, the scar healed better the second time around. I will have to say I felt I was led down the garden path about scarring, that they improve with time. I found the scar looses the red, “angry” look and flattens with time, but bottom line, scar length/width will not change.

    The distraction from pain using the vibration is basically The Gate Theory we use in massage... Pleasure and good sensations hit the brain faster than pain. You can distract from pain by using a sensation that is not pain (and when it pain, any sensation can feel nicer than it). The vibration can also over stimulate the nerves to disrupt them, but this can backfire in some places if the nerves become too stimulated as it can cause itching and discomfort (though probably not when being numbed since...soon you won't feel anything).

    • @arkhamcycle6660

      I'm not a doctor but I know a little bit about hair loss. If you as a woman have androgenic alopecia, meaning you're losing hair due to your follicles' weakness to DHT, then finasteride is a good option. Minoxidil (Rogaine) works, as far as I'm aware, for all kinds of hair loss. However, if your hair loss is the result of another condition, the medicine used to treat it will be different.

  • @charissa6648

    I must say that surgeons, specifically Plastic Surgeons in this case; are absolutely incredible artists! I worked in the medical field for years, and it never ceases to amaze me how incredibly talented and precise you are! It cannot be understated that plastic surgeons have to be called or ordained so to speak, by God, in order to do what you do!
    The academia portion is great, but the practical application of your training blows my mind. How you know and can recognize nerves under the skin, tendons, muscle; how you can discern what to remove, where to remove or even where to add.... is brilliant!
    Also, the reconstruction surgeries for those who have suffered injuries is so wonderful!
    Thank you, Doctor! Thank your wife for me as well, because she definitely plays a part in your success and I know how much Physicians in general, sacrifice for their patients. I know you're paid well and rightfully so, however, there is still significant sacrifice in your personal life.

    I'm always worried about my hair, because I have trichotillomania, and pulled consistently for 16 years, and I've finally stopped! Like, YES! I did it! But, I'm a female, and that area between the front hairline down to the temple is not growing well on both sides. I am trying to be patient. I am taking vitamin E, and biotin supplements. Don't know if they'll help, but it shouldn't hurt... I'm trying to eat better. I'm getting good sleep. I am putting castor oil on my scalp since it helped a lot with re-growing my eyebrows from over-plucking. I wash my hair about once a week. I have noticed some new growth. I just have to keep telling myself to BE PATIENT! lol I'm mostly just super excited because I got myself to stop!

      And yes, patience is key. If it helps at all healthy hair grows at a rate of around 1/4 inch/1cm per month and your hair follicles are recovering and stuff so you probably can't expect that kind of growth. It'll take time, but you'll get there ❤️
