what in the world is a Miniaturization analysis? i've never heard of that. can you post photos and let us know who your doctor was?

so basically you experienced shockloss is what your saying that made you lose a majority of your existing hair?

going from a NW2 to almost bald seems really extreme. all of this caused from a HT? i really feel sorry for you and hope the best works out for you.

Yup, if it indeed is the case, then we guys feel for u dude. Please post some pics and if its convenient, let us know who the surgeon was

And yes, what is Miniaturization analysis?????????

Miniturization analysis is when your current hair is examined at close range (or on a computer) to see what stage of hair loss it is in.

As you know, as we get older, our hair sheds - coming back a bit thinner each time (in an area susceptible to DHT) - eventually not coming back at all. Hairs at an advanced stage (ie already very thin) can be hit badly by shockloss, and as they were on the way out almost already, might not grow back.

Really sorry to hear that man

Hey monkey, i was so curious abt this as i dun remember Dr Pat or Oravan doing that... Do u think this is a important test?

I am in my mid 30s, and probably a NW 2 to 3 before i went for the surgery.

Shucks, suddenly i am a bit worried...

He does - when he puts on those little glasses things he has

Don't worry - when I went to Dr Alexander, I asked about a computer test - and he said he just does the same thing: ie puts on high strength glasses and has a good look

This sounds like a distressing situation to say the least. However, if you were a NW2, then unless you were also losing hair in a diffuse pattern and this was addressed during the surgery, then the transplant would not have been spread out far enough to effect 50% of your hair. Am I missing something here?

Which areas of the scalp received grafts and from where have you lost all of this hair since your surgery?

I'm very sorry to hear about your poor transplant experience. If you would like to add some photographs to your social profile or a hair loss weblog, it may help the community accurately analyze the situation and offer some good suggestions.

Also, I'm curious as to whether or not you stopped taking Propecia after the hair transplant procedure?

Please, keep us updated on the situation and don't hesitate to ask additional questions on this thread or through private messaging.
