  1. Getting that first HT pretty much signs you up for at least one more HT down the road. A newbie should be told to expect that.
  2. Get on Fin, go to Konior (or Nadimi), stay away from Bosley.
  3. Well, maybe not the whole donor region for FUT - just the area the strip is excised. But shaving the recipient area if you have a lot of native hair will help the doctor minimize shock loss.
  4. There is always a risk with shock loss, but if the doc works carefully then it minimizes this risk. Also, I'd recommend shaving your whole head for the procedure, regardless if it's FUE or FUT.
  5. I've had six strips (one of which was a scar reduction) and I have no issues with long term tightness. It always feels tight for a few months but gradually returns to normal.
  6. There are a handful of Dr. Nadimi cases on the forum. Use the search function and you'll see.
  7. Harsh lighting conditions, short hairstyle, and it's still looking good! The next month should be an exciting one for you. Looks like you're starting to grow out your hair, correct?
  8. 💯 I feel for any gentleman that got a HT during those years.
  9. Good call! Also, I do lather organic aloe onto my scalp a few times a week. Feels good, has a soothing effect.
  10. I've been on Fin for 14 years, and while I still continued to lose hair I believe Fin has prevented the worst case scenario for me; i.e. lateral humps and crown dropping. @Phab You definitely lost native hair, you might have transplanted hair (impossible to say). Either way, you due for round 2. Be prepared for more surgeries as you are a high NW.
  11. If you're already dealing with scalp inflammation then I would hold off on the topical for now, especially min as it is a skin irritant for many guys. Maybe ask the surgeon? Go to a dermatologist? I do use neutrogena t-gel and/or Nizoral once a week and that seems to keep the inflammation at bay. Also, I swear by Scalpicin - cures any itchiness I get.
  12. Pics please? If you're destined for NW6, then yeah it's too bad you had to stop fin.
  13. I drove 14 hours after my last FUE (over the course of two days), so yeah 4 hours won't be a problem. I would definitely plan on having a clean up at the clinic the morning after though, maybe even two mornings after if you can.
  14. You already have a good head of hair so wise decision to stick to the meds. This looks like the ultra-refined work that we all expect from Dr K, also so densely packed. Be patient these next fews months but you should totally expect an amazing result!
  15. I would second all of the docs mentioned above, adding Dr. Ron Shapiro to that list. But also try to meet some patients in person (harder to do during a pandemic for sure) so you can see how transplanted hair looks like in the flesh. Pics alone don't always give the full story.
  16. Transplanted hair always looks thinner when wet - after a shower or after swimming - even with a great result at 12 months. It's just the nature of it. But you are on the cusp of something exciting here! Are you going to continue to grow out your hair longer or keep it this length?
  17. Stick to your regimen but be weary of any doc willing to perform surgery on you right now. Give it two years before even considering surgery. Your donor looks quite spotty, so tread carefully.
  18. For me it was 6 FUT's before FUE. It could have been 4, it becomes a judgement call at a certain point. It's all detailed in my recent post. I will definitely achieve more lifetime grafts with the FUT/FUE combo approach, no question.
  19. Looks incredible! I would wait awhile before doing another round. Enjoy what you have!
  20. Keep saving, start doing some thorough research, schedule consultations with elite docs, and perhaps aim for May in 2022 for a HT if you are indeed a candidate.
  21. My favorite comment from these fake reviews are, "I just had my procedure yesterday and I love the results!" Ummm, dude... you had the procedure yesterday, there are no results.
