good god...whatEVER you do, dont even CONSIDER a scalp reduction...between the massive scarring, and the fact that after two reductions, you probably cant extract any strip to use to cover it, its pretty much a dinosaur procedure....ask any doctor who's had to do repair work on someone who underwent the procedure..its ugly...

Cas..you want the Omega 3 capsule, not the 6..it does get confusing..lol

Actually, while the body needs both Omega 3 and 6, the typical "western diet" provides an excess of Omega 6 in the body...a typical ratio in the US is 16:1 (Omega 6 to Omega 3)..while a healthy ratio is something like 3:1..thus the need normally for most people in this country to use supplement on the Omega 3 side for better health for your heart and vascular system... eat more fish, less red meat...flaxseed is an excellent source as well...

Erik...the crown is a strange place...for some reason, it consistently lags behind when it comes to producing grafts... in my hairline and top, i was popping at 6 weeks or so..but the crown took a good 4-5 months before it started to even look "fuzzy"...after 8 months, it is still lagging behind, but getting better...and it seems that everyone with crown work experiences this same lag time...

Dart my man...great to meet you this weekend..how was your search on friday nite??..

MissMy.. i had both internal sutures as well as external staples...with a megasession, its not a bad idea....each doctor will have their own preference...ive always found staples to be easier and less painful, but everyone is different...

as far as libido goes, you can also start on Yohimbe bark and L-Arginine supplements.....that stuff gets the horse out of the barn pretty well......giddyup!

Kez...please keep your day job, in case comedy doesn't work out for ya..

whats the reason for the foil??...never heard of that...

BUMP - still waiting to hear from any surgeon on this issue.....

Q...the tightness is normal, but having the crown feel like its a light sunburn isnt, especially when you didnt have any grafts there... I would give Joe or HW a call just to be safe...icing the area is always good anyway...

call the stylist beforehand?...

Kez...occasionally there are genetic mutants like yourself, who are lucky enough not to lose your transplanted hair...who knows what the magic DNA combination is, but sounds like youre one of the lucky few who probably wont lose too many of your new seedlings...Werewolfhead had 5800 grafts in one session, and according to Jotronic, didnt shed hardly any at all...

Day 26??..lol...no wonder it still hurts.. Bruin...my scalp probably took at least 3 months for the general "tightness" to go away...and maybe another 2-3 months for these little painpoints in the donor scar to go away..

It may be just an observation, but I have noticed that when comparing growth of transplanted hairs from FUE vs. strip, it is quite obvious, at least in people who will share their progress in photos, that FUE transplants seem to take much longer to "sprout". Theoretically, if FUE is merely a "different extraction method", and that once extracted, the hair should grow as normally as hair extracted from strip, shouldn't we see the same relative results?....or, is there a feeling that perhaps FUE extraction is actually damaging the hair unknowingly, and as a result, "faulty grafts" are being transplanted??... just curious as to what you physicians and patients think..this doesn't seem to be just an observation of one or two patients, but it seems to be the general rule....

Hair, being the stallion that I am, I'm ordering it as we speak..

western - Drugstore.com has GNC MSM 1500 mg tablets for $19.99 for 120 tablets....

Brian...if you are getting something like a piece of rice at the end of your falling hair, contact your doctor, as this is a graft. "IF" the hair is coming out with merely some dead skin attached to it, this is normal..but if its truly what looks like a piece of rice attached to it, this is a graft, and not normal..you should only lose a few grafts after surgery, but losing the "hairs" is very normal..the bulb stays in your scalp, and will generate new growth sometime around the 3 month period.

Hairball??

good grief...like the world REALLY needs another lawyer.... actually Social, you could have the best of BOTH worlds...go out and be an attorney that goes after these hairmills and other butchers!.

ummm...only if you edit yourself out of it Social....

but thats only with waitresses who dont shave their legs....

i take 3000 mg a day...no ill effects whatsoever...and there are some here who take up to 5-6000 a day...i doubt it makes any difference when you take 'em....
