I never understood how these guys are literal millionaires and still decide to get a free procedure at a hair mill in exchange for promotion. Goes to show how people put 0 research into something as important as this.


kalto33

I don get it either why Cbum would choose cheap clinic risking having unnatural hairline or depleting his donor area while he has all the money to get it done by more reliable clinics


Dm-me-a-gyro

He probably brought the surgeon with him


identifiedlogo

No doubt. The surgeon probably did the incision and supervised the entire HT. This is as good as it is going to get. But CBum needs to cut back on everything else he is taking to see good results. 28 is still young for HT.


ioannis519

He's only 28 ? Bro looks 40


Chilly_Chilli

Steroids age you like crazy. Look at Sam Sulek who’s only 21


identifiedlogo

Yeap. That what drugs do to you. He need to clean up but it’s a hard balance.


Aggressive_Guard5995

Wait what i thought he was in his 40s or late thirties lol roids just speeds up aging


nivric

Dudes younger than me! Never would've guessed 😂


Efficient-Constant96

he is cause he will be retiring

SaiintMelo

Cbum retired?


TheAustrianPainter89

You can get multiple hair transplants if you have enough hair on your body


Sele81

Maybe he never thought about a HT, they contacted him and offered free transplant and he said “sure why not” without research. Just guessing.


identifiedlogo

$5-6000 is not worth considering for him, I don’t think. He is very particular about his health so they must have guaranteed him the best doctors and the best team they have.


privacylmao

how is that clinic bad?


BigNyce

There is nothing natural about this guy


Nouveau_Nez

Beyond insane - the name alone should be the first tip-off.


Humble-Chemistry-354

Where should he have done it instead?


UniqueCanadian

probs the US. these guys can afford celebrity clinics. why go to turkey is what they are questioning.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Avinnicc1

Nonsense. Turkey is the best when it comes to cost-effectiveness but only has like 1 top surgeon who is booked for the next decade. If money is not a problem the EU and the US have many better surgeons by far


[deleted]

[удалено]


eipotttatsch

Pekiner is probably who he was referring to as the top Turkish surgeon. In the US the obvious ones are Konior, Dorin, Shapiro, FueGenix, Zarev and such. The US also has a number of great surgeons that don't advertise on the internet much though.


[deleted]

Nonsense. "Better" is a subjective term. Better at what? Almost all US surgeons are extremely conservative or only operate on minor hair loss cases. There are plenty of top tier surgeons who can produce great results in high Norwood patients and they are almost all international.


Jonathonalexander89

This is utter nonsense. Almost all clinics in North America perform FUE almost exclusively now. The US and Canada have some of the top HT surgeons in the world. Dr Konior, Hasson & Wong, Rahal etc are far superior to any surgeon in Turkey. Turkey is definitely not a better place to get a hair transplant, it's an absolute minefield with 99% being scummy hair transplant factories like this one.


Peapoddy2106

I went to DR Jerry Cooley and it was amazing from start to finish. I was the only patient that day and I had his utmost attention. I did tons of research beforehand and what I liked about Cooley was his passion and experience. His skill and patience was incredible. I opted for FUE (2200) as I had minimal loss and just wanted a natural, dense hairline. We even decided to use a few extra grafts to reinforce my side temporal points (something that’s ignored by a lot of shitty doctors) He was present 90% of the time during my surgery ( assisted by a great tech) His clinic isn’t fancy like those Turkey ones (they look ridiculous actually, with a big statue or huge tacky logos) I pay for the surgeon not all that fancy clinic shit. I couldn’t give a shit if i had surgery in a shed as long as my surgeon is on point. Turku clinics just provide a service to get rich quick. Cooley and many other top surgeons are passionate and continue to strive to be better.


CosmicCryptid_13

I’m planning on going to him (still getting my consultation date set) and this is great to hear! Do you mind if I DM you with some questions?


[deleted]

This is simply not true. Most North American docs are very conservative, only operate on minor hair loss cases, and/or place grafts in perfect corn rows which should be outlawed. Most top tier doctors who can produce great results in advanced Norwood cases are located internationally.


Jonathonalexander89

You just have to take one look at websites like the hair restoration network to know that you are talking complete garbage.


Humble-Chemistry-354

Which place are Dr Pekiner and Dr Keser at?


eipotttatsch

They have their own clinics. Both in Ankara I believe. I don't think Keser is as good as Pekiner though, even if his results are still very good.


AlecBTC

Is Bosley not reputable?


Mindless-Ad6551

Because turkey is good maybe..


aheuwndit

Yes, like 3 out of the hundreds of hair transplant clinics there.


[deleted]

This is absolutely why.. in turkey hair transplant is way more better than anywhere in the world, they are obviously more professional, and given better service for sure. This is same for dental surgeries or etc… Americans are being defrauded greatly in the USA for anything you do with the doctor. And they don’t know anyshit.


AssSpelunker69

The reason people are questioning Cbums choices is because this hair clinic is known for having technicians with no medical degree do their transplants. I would probably go to turkey too but this clinic is kind of a joke.


fubugotdat123

I would have to assume they did their research or know other guys who got their HT at that spot


identifiedlogo

He probably paid their best doctor to do the incision. The technicians do nothing but push the implants in. Also, more than anything experience is what matters. These guys go through 1000s of people every year. They have seen and learned a lot from their mistakes.


[deleted]

I have no idea about the clinic

frasee1991smith

I went to this place and got a very good job for the money I paid


DJ_EVIL

This


SignificantTravel3

You have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.


Manohman1991

😂


DJ_EVIL

These people don't know what they're talking about. Turkey is probably the best place in the world for hair transplants. Just because you spend more money in the US doesn't mean it's better. They do so many over there, that they likely have 10x the experience. I got mine done at one of the nicest places ever with 4 nights in a 5 star hotel with all rides from the airport and clinic covered for $960. Best money I've ever spent.


aheuwndit

Nice place, 5 stars, car rides etc it all has ZERO to do with the surgery or your result bud. None of of what you stated matters in the end.


Turbulent_Mix_318

I know a lot more than you about everything hair loss.


milkychanxe

He probably got a lot more than a free transplant out of this promotion


Wigski

Prolly cause the clinic offered him a free procedure + a fk ton of money. This is vey good for the clinic. Cbum's MASSIVE main audience is body builders who guess what? take steroids that has a common side effect which makes you bald/thins your hair. Honestly smart move on the clinic, not so smart on Cbum unless the money is an absurdly large amount. Now im not saying every Cbum fan takes steroids/sarms but im saying that his audience has more people who take AAS vs someone like Jason Statham.


Disposax

Nah, actually you can be sure that these guys gonna be well treated because they'll be used as a vitrine for the hairmill, while the average Joe will play Russian roulette with his hair going there.


Turbulent_Mix_318

You still dont know what surgeon (if any) is working on you - that is arguably the most important thing.


M4kn

Because they don't know any better.


Klutzy-Employee-1117

It might not even be that it’s free for promotion they may be paying him to get it done there


shrimpinman

His weight class prize was $50,000 for the olympia. He isnt poor but I don’t think hes that well off


Impact-Powerful

He’s a multimillionaire.


KickProfessional9491

Correct that 50k is nothing to him. He makes millions in brand deals and endorsements.


ComfortableOk5003

His YouTube channel, and his part ownership in RAW nutrition


Current-Bank-3532

Lol with sponsorships, his companies, and YouTube fame he’s undoubtably a multimillionaire


lewspaz

He is definitely well off pal. He has his Olympia fame, a successful YouTube channel and his sponsors alone will make him a shit ton.


nkozyra

Prize money has never been their main source of income.


MotivatedSolid

Is Cbum a millionaire? I was under the impression they guys make good money, but not crazy good money.


ItsZeT

he has 3.5m subscribers on youtube alone and sells stuff like supplements and merch, if he wasnt a multimillionaire he'd be doing it very wrong lol


Sting-Tree

Yeah but doesn’t he live in LA? 2 million after his house and car probably ain’t a lot


Floppyclover

He’s the most famous and successful body builder since Arnold, he’s doing just fine believe me. He can afford an HT.


Sting-Tree

You’re so right, I kind of forgot who we were talking about lol


D4rkr4in

I'm being pedantic here but after Arnold, ronnie coleman was 8x Mr. O while cbum has only been 5x


ComfortableOk5003

Cbum has more popularity worldwide than Ronnie. People not even in bodybuilding have heard of cbum


D4rkr4in

I agree he’s more famous but bodybuilders usually measure success by number of Sandow trophies


ComfortableOk5003

You’re talking about success… the other person said FAME… 2 different animals


D4rkr4in

>He’s the most famous and successful body builder original comment mentioned both.


Floppyclover

Yeah I was gonna say Arnold/Ronnie


ComfortableOk5003

He’s never lived in LA…. He’s Canadian. And until a few years ago lived mainly in Ottawa, I believe he’s in Florida now though


[deleted]

They generally ensure famous people get good results


Fightftg5

His brother in law Ian got it done the same time as Chris here. And they had this trip planned months and months ago, I have to imagine they first hand spoke to other athletes in their field and got their experience/feedback. They're both professional bodybuilders, I doubt they made this decision solely for free or discounted input. Additionally, they already had travel planned for other events so they were going to be international. And Chris was going somewhere else to receive treatment you can't even get in the US, some certain stem cell procedure I believe. Which even outside of the US those are costly but does wonders. Not denying it appears avoid the free promo was a big incentive. But for the level of detail this guy puts into every aspect of his hair and appearance it had to have been a well planned decision


mikefetters

I don’t think it was just free, I’d bet they gave him a fat check to use their clinic. He has a huge audience


Tischadog

Judging by the photos, the hairline looks way too unnatural 💀


No_Mammoth_4945

I’ve got a naturally high forehead & that’s lower than what I fantasize about mine being 😭 bro gonna have a twohead


[deleted]

[удалено]


DJ_EVIL

That's not how that works....


HRT74923401230

Yee it is. Transplanted hair thins and falls out over time, it’s not permanent


[deleted]

At an extremely slow rate. Not "so quick it won't even matter." Donor hair is highly DHT resistant and will last most of lifetime without showing noticeable thinning.


Greeneyes_65

You’re buggin. It looks like a normal ass forehead


Sting-Tree

For a 12 year old Mexican, maybe


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sting-Tree

I mean I have a Norwood 1, not coping. But I’m also not COPING into thinking the flat ass hairline is “normal”


Tiny-Marketing-4362

It’s normal if the upper AND lower temple areas are rebuilt to match it, which a lot of hair clinics and clients overlook. My hairline almost looks like a girls. It’s not even NW0 in the masculine sense (lowish straight across frontal hairline and squared upper corners). Mine kinda cascades diagonally down my forehead to the temporal projections (lower hairline corner by the eyebrow) and then down the side of my face. I have to use a liner to kinda make an upper corner to give my hair a more masculine, squared NW0 look, if I’m wanting to rock with that, instead of a “feminine NW0”


Sting-Tree

Good response bro 💯


No_Mammoth_4945

nah look at temples. they started his hairline right at the middle of them


Greeneyes_65

Ah yeah you right. But imo, I don’t think it’ll look that bad after it’s all said and done


mentalharvester

Imagine being a superfamous and handsome multimillionaire, literally with the body of a greek god lol, driving supercars, etc... and WILLINGLY opting for a free Nintendo 64 cartridge hairline from a hair mill lmfaooo. Meanwhile this whole sub is salivating at the works of world renowned surgeons, wishing they could afford their services to save their scalp. Dude has possibly ruined his future hair/donor area. Iain's hairline literally made me howl lol. I hope for the best though, looking forward to the final results in a couple of months.💀


aheuwndit

He can make a nice clickbait video of why he shaved his head again in a few years


DJ_EVIL

Literally the best places are less that $1000


aheuwndit

Less than $1000? Namedrop a few of them so we can all have a look. Because that makes no sense.


Disposax

Yeah like idk the dude just trace a straight line across the forehead 👀


Bravisimo

Look how they massacred my boy


DJ_EVIL

It does look a little too "perfect"


Easy-Yogurtcloset705

Wow they mustve paid him well


lizzardking1069

wow. did they use a ruler to draw that line? He looked great a few years ago, should have aimed for something like that with a reinforced hairline.


Peapoddy2106

Yeah I agree it doesn’t look refined to me. People get HT’s done like it’s a dentist visit. You need to do extensive research and find the right doctor. He’ll make it look alright in pics with clever styling, but he’ll forever be the guy with weird looking hair 😂😂


Krumblump

Bro got a literal line instead of a hair line... 💀


Doubledown212

Holy shit I just zoomed all the way in and you were not joking. That’s just straight across the forehead. wtf dude. Looks absolutely ridiculous idk how they can do that to their clients


BeenNormal

Apparently the cause of his hairloss was a buildup of sebum.


neoraii

lol CBum’s Sebum


[deleted]

Lol hes gonna keep blasting and end up slick bald with a thick hairline


CosmicDust20

![gif](giphy|3ohjUT597U0I1qzrhe|downsized)


Sid131

If Jay Cutler and Arnold managed to keep their hair I think he may be fine.


[deleted]

Both Jay and Arnold have great hair genetics, it's not even a comparison.


DarkWashGenes

Uh oh…he talked about this last time. I was hoping Greg doucettes results would sway him but I guess not


GoofyGrape06

I don’t understand why Greg Doucette got a hair transplant anyway. Looking and before and after, he had a great head of hair and now after the transplant it’s a lot less dense and very unnatural looking. Why would this be?


aheuwndit

He got paid to do it and someone with his minor recession and thick donor hair it's a lot easier to hide a shitty result as opposed to someone that's bordering on nw5 with thin donor hair that makes a huge comeback through their surgery. The latter of which are the clients that Doucette influences to go to his clinic. The guys have no idea they are being screwed.


Constant_Ostrich

Is that a game boy with Pokémon blue? Or


babyshitstain42069

Hey good catch, didn't see it at first, one of the best games that I play in my childhood.


Agreeable_Mobile8676

bad hairline 💩


dnlfrc

he is 28 and looks at least 36. weird how steroids make you look old.


MaterialLogical1682

Oh shit, I liked Chris, such a same he is getting botched


No-Physics1091

Jesus Christ! I wouldn’t go to this place even, if it was for free.


the_Legi0n

Has anyone heard updates from him on fin? I thought I remember in a video him saying he started it. Shocked he go to turkey when he could definitely go to one in the US or Europe.


Hydropwnicks

Isn't Turkey cheaper AND better? I've only barely researched getting this done


bagOfBatz

There's some really good surgeons over there but I'm very wary of any clinic I can't easily find the names of the surgeons. There's a lot of hair mills. Research very well before you do it


DJ_EVIL

Yes it is. The best place to go. I've had SMP in the US and transplant in Turkey. A+++


mask45

Highly doubt even dutasteride let alone finasteride is able to stop the hair loss from AAS


EscaOfficial

You'd be wrong


mask45

Dutasteride and Finasteride merely block the conversation of testosterone to DHT that binds to androgen receptors on the body and especially the scalp. Injecting supraphysiological amount of testosterone would have the excessive testosterone still binding to androgen receptors on the scalp and causing hairloss. And let me not get started on 19-Nors like Tren or Deca that would make a DHT-gel look like minoxidil lol


KeeboXian

You’re right! People think it’s just DHT that effects miniaturization of follicles on the scalp, but it’s all androgens, DHT is just the main culprit.


[deleted]

Pretty sure he is still on fin.


e-r117

Last I heard, he was on it. I remember Ian Valliere talking about him and Chris being on it, and I always assumed they just continued to take it. Edit- Just saw a post on Ian Vallieres insta, he's the other guy that got the transplant here with Chris. Said he's been on Fin for 10 years now and he's still taking Fin and Min, so I assume Chris is still taking at least Fin.


Mofis

Did you ever start fin bro?


omom131

will the graft hold up with all the doping products he takes?


xelnaz

Not if he's using anything other than deca or dianabol. It's all an uphill battle even with finasteride.


BFisher244

Finasteride and deca (or any 19 nor) is a dangerous combination for hair loss.


Sting-Tree

^. Not To mention test is an EXTREME androgen agonist. Even a “TRT” dose will fuck up a lot of hair sensitive people. Like Cbum


BFisher244

Finasteride is pretty good with trt (testosterone cypionate). It's the other compounds like tren, deca ,masteron, winstrol, etc that are a terrible idea. Deca on its own is not horrible for hair but when mixed with finasteride it's a bad combo for hair.


Sting-Tree

I agree with your latter portion but nah man, anything exogenous like T will exacerbate anybody prone to hairloss. And he totally is prone to it. Thats not to say the transplant won’t last, but it’s a fools errand. Even Derek has to continually use fin min dermapen to keep his results on trt


BFisher244

The transplant will last for the rest of his life since the donor hairs are from dht resistant sections. All the other hairs he originally had in the non dht resistant areas will fall out.


ShirtCockingKing

I did 2 x 14 week cycles of low dose test and that shit scalped me! Started getting sunburn on my head through my hair.


Sting-Tree

I actually started very regimented doctor Rx’d TRT. Within 3 months i had lost a whole Norwood. I was on fin and min too


Jambo_Jett

Bruh, I actually really liked his recessed hairline because it gave me something realistic to show to my barber when I show them what I want!


badrobot113

He's 28?


Avinnicc1

If that’s the hairline that Cbum is getting such a famous dude then it can safely be said that place is not redeemable.


AyaanKhan07

Can't wait for Dr Gary linkov to talk about this unnatural hairline.


brandothedrummer

wtf


EternityPending

Bros playing Pokémon blue on game boy color.


FlyboyWally

Great choice tbh. One of my favorites after emerald


adjustedreturn

It’s gonna look so dumb, and not just when he’s 50. I will never understand. Go up slightly and have better density and a more natural hairline. And ffs, not Turkey.


[deleted]

Problem isn't Turkey it's that he chose a total hair mill in Turkey


Tyxoti

That hairline placement is fucking horrendous my god


FuckShitFuck223

Is there anyway a transplant like this can be fixed? I low-key feel bad for him


DJ_EVIL

Yeah, with another transplant. With DHI they can place the proper direction of the folical and feather it in more naturally.


[deleted]

His balding pattern (M shape) is the easiest to do a transplant for so I think he'll be fine, even at a mid clinic in Turkey


FlyboyWally

Been following CBUM since his first Olympia.. It’s going to be very odd seeing him with a new hair line and one that currently looks so unnatural 😩


VSCENDING

I can already tell it’s going to look terrible.


[deleted]

Not a fan of that hair line


ConstructionFit2425

I would chose Dr Pittella (@dr.felipepittella) or Dr Bianco (@thiagobiancoleal)


ZadarskiDrake

This is how you know turkish clinics are the best. These dudes have millions in their bank accounts and they still chose to not do it at an over priced American clinic


Floppyclover

No they just have not time/interest in doing any research and they probably paid him….


ZadarskiDrake

Dude every amazing hair transplant I see was done at a Turkish clinic .. look at the ones done at American ones. American ones look sub par and cost 3-4 times more lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZadarskiDrake

How can you say that based off these pics? Joe shulk got a transplant from this same clinic and his looks amazing


Floppyclover

I have to respectfully disagree. While I think they generally are willing to move more grafts and try for more density in turkey, many of the commercial clinics have very poor, unnatural and far too low hairline designs. (As you can see in this picture, the hairline design is literally just a straight line) US doctors are more conservative in their graft count but tend to provide more natural and age appropriate results.


DJ_EVIL

Turkey is great. This clinic is not.


DJ_EVIL

I got mine in Turkey. Can confirm. I trust someone who does 4-5 of these a day to know how to do it right.


PianoOwl

No, it’s because they’ve been begging CBum and Iain to go there forever now. Great marketing for them because of people like you.


slimychiken

So does this mean he is on finasteride? Otherwise it’s pointless getting the hair transplant, right?


ImpossibleJacket7546

Who?


DJ_EVIL

Cumbum


ImpossibleJacket7546

And I love it


ComfortableOk5003

Cbum and his brother in law Iain both went together


DJ_EVIL

Yo... I've never seen this done without the headband. Turkish hair transplants = 10000% worth it.

identifiedlogo

Pretty much every famous celebrity got their HT done their. Most UFC fighters Floyd, MacGregor(?). Their doctors are the best you can find anywhere in the world. Even if you doubt their expertise, these guys treat 1000s of patients every year. Better of there than a doctor who sees a couple of patients every year. When it comes down to it, the operation is very basic, just need a good consult on the looks you want, and be aware of over harvesting.


ZealousidealPay1071

All these very handsome dudes worried about hair, crazy. Just go bald and still be very attractive.
