The experience at the Alvi Armani clinic is far beyond what I was expecting. Everyone was nice to a point that I was no longer nervous about the procedure although I was very neverous at the beginning. When I sat down with the doctor, I could feel that he cares highly about his patients and not just some doctor trying to get someone in and out quickly. He took his time explaining everything to me as well as allowing me the opportunity to tell him how I would like my hair to look after. Also The professional crew are tremendously nice. Services such as biscuits, water and juices were offered even at times I didn't ask for and breaks were giving anytime I felt I needed one. The surgery was painless.
I have had 4 surgeries with the Alvi Armani clinic totaling over 9,000 grafts. I have had procedures with both Dr. Armani and his sister Dr. Sara Armani in Toronto as well as Dr. Baubac in the Beverly Hills clinic. All 3 were great and so are my results!!
Here are some updated photos of my results. These are taken while I am driving down the highway in my convertible. I never would have thought I would be driving with the top down as my hair blows in the wind!!
Here are my updated photos. My results have really grown in, and I am only at about 60% total growth. I tell you, if this were my final result today I would be thrilled over the moon, but I still see new growth coming in every week. People who haven't seen me in a year or so do not believe it is me! People are totally shocked. I can see why, looking below at my before and after phtoos side by side, boy what a difference. I will have more updates to come as the density continues to come in.
Here are photos right after my crown procedure. As you can see the entire area was covered, it should really be good density. This along with my first procedure should give me very nice coverage. Again the surgery went very well.
These are my photos right befor my 2nd procedure (my crown procedure). You can see the very beginnings of my new hairline starting to come in from my first procedure a few weeks ago. It has me excited already. Now I am going back to the Armani clinic to have the back done.
After 3 years of researching Alvi Armani’s clinic on the internet and blogs I came to my choice. The astonishing results and positive feedbacks grabbed my attention. I came to my conclusion and went with Alvi Armani. Although I had couple other doctors in mind none of them had as close of a reputations and positive comments as the Armani clinic. He in my mind is simply the best.
My first signs of hairloss was in 2000. Before my hair was just fine, never any signs of shedding! I was travelling and I got shocked on the plane due to a severe airbump. Second day after arival my hair started to shed. I figured its something temporarily but it continued to shed. Since 2000 my hair thinned out completely to a point where I started cutting my hair very short just to make it look even with the back. Ever since it was pain deep inside not being able to style my hair and deep inside I started to lose confidence in myself.
I figured I have to do something about it once I started to see it get worse and worse in time. I started to research the internet and reading blogs and emailing patients. I planned my journey ahead for a transplant.
Day of my Procedure
I have to say the day of the surgery went much smoother then I anticipated. This was my first procedure like this so understandably I was a bit nervous, but the kindness and professionalism of the staff really put me at ease. The staff even ordered me lunch! Everything went off without a hitch and before I knew it I was back in my hotel room and the procedure was complete.
The hair
The hair that is growing on top of my head is very natural. I can gel it, wet and style it. Its my own hair but its just been moved from the side to the top. It comes out of the scalp perfectly natural giving it an undetectable look. And because I went with Fue I have no scarring in the back.
Before Photos
Here are my before photos so you can see where I was before my visits to Alvi Armani
As you can see I had little to no hair. I needed a complete restoration of my hair. Over to the right you can see all of my updated photos of my results and how I looked after my surgery.
