Yeah at least you should wear a hat for sure. Why risk it too much though? A little patience and waiting, and you will have a thick head of hair at the beach next summer and many more too come... Anyway, keep the grafts out of the sun and ask your Dr. about swimming and how salt water and might affect your new grafts.

Was it with a recommended surgeon? Can you name the clinic? was the approach for HT #2 aggressive? thanks

Did it ever grow in and grow back? Who was your surgeon? Were you warned about possible shock loss?

I did a google search and seems many women suffer from this. But I think men do too. Hot and humid weather makes the pores open and makes us more prone to losing hair. Happens to me every summer, and was a deciding factor in taking the plunge for my first HT. Anyone else lose more in the summer months? Best way to cope is to cut the hair short and wash to hair/scalp more?

I believe he currently makes you fill out a form that clearly states you are going to have a hair transplant surgery done. And you will need to get this completed by your Dr. They seem very strict about this. JYFI

Yes but I personally don't use it. Creates more dandruff in the front area in my case.

My HT change was amazing and the new hair stayed strong for like 2 years. Then it got brittle and started falling out from overusing 2% Nizoral, it was a slow gradual progress. I had to use the shampoo because of issues with seborrheic dermatitis (dandruff), and since the gentler Dr. Lee's regrowth shampoo was no longer available after they closed him down. Stopped the shampoo and washed less frequently. My hair got stronger but then I was plagued with dandruff and how to remove it. I finally found a decent shampoo with salicylic acid that keeps most of the thick dandruff away. I also quit propecia, which I think did not do anything to improve my frontal new hair. I am planning to have a second procedure to touch up my hairline now, so not 100% back to normal. Remember the hair cycle is around 3 months, see if the lost hair grows back, but of course contact your Dr. and HT physician ASAP.

Yes I have lost some to Nizoral overuse as well as dandruff, but for the most part it always grows back. I owe this to having it done by one of the top doctors. There are a myriad of factors that affect your hair including scalp health, overall health, seasonal shedding, reaction to drugs (including propecia), stress and diet etc. Best to consult with your HT physician to pinpoint the cause.

How high was it? Couldn't you tell them it was anxiety and nerves before the procedure?

If I were you next time I would just tell them don't touch the front at all, come up with whatever reason that makes the barber not touch it. Even go to a barber you will never go to again and then tell them the truth. It is your investment, I wouldn't risk it in the early months.

I think propecia works best for the crown area. Not so much for the front or hairline. I had a HT and I believe propecia actually thinned out my front from hormonal imbalance. I stopped taking it and overall my hair is better now. I feel less tired and more motivated. I have never had issue with my crown or vertex so I have not seen any thinning there after stopping. Everyone is different though, best to consult with your doctor. I am one who believes that propecia is not for everyone.

Awesome result! How many FUE grafts was the procedure?

Get the sides and back cut very short by someone who is good, leave the hairline and top longer.

Hope it grows even faster, hang in there.

Strong heat and sun rays there also as you know, be careful about exposing the grafts. Probably will have to wash your hair and scalp more often due to sweating too.

Ok hang in there! That is definitely the worst part afterwards, as you know since this is your second procedure. How are you doing in terms of shock loss in the hair from your first HT? I am wondering if anyone has had smaller touch-up procedures in the hairline for like 500-1000 grafts. Would like to see the results. I have some "better" hair days (good ones are few) where I think I might just need a management procedure to retouch some thinner areas.

me neither, replied as below originally (but got moderated ?) His hair looks pretty decent to me. Hope people are marrying for love and mutual respect than for hair thickness, hairline height etc... Or are you suggesting the only guys who deserve a great girl are the Eddy Munsters in the world? I don't even think girls think that way. Sorry if your post was tongue in cheek to begin with.

Overuse of 2% nizoral will dry out your sebaceous glands and your hair will become brittle and easy to fall out. Use only in moderation. It does work great and make your hair and scalp better (if you have seborrheic dermatitis), but be careful not to overuse.

OtherSyde, thanks! That is around the amount I am considering having done. Will check out your blog. How are things "growing" at this stage?

Dr. Rahal seems more affordable, but I am hearing and seeing amazing things from Dr. Konior. Seems like a great guy too. Is it a flip of the coin as they are both amazing doctors, or does anyone have experience with both?

If you had to choose one surgeon to give you an amazing hairline, would it be Dr. Rahal or Dr. Konior?

I had a HT and still lost hair on Finasteride. Made my scalp so greasy too. I finally stopped it after shedding apparently everyday after work for no apparent reason. My hair has not fallen out and I think the shedding has reduced. Only time will tell. Not everyone should be on Fin.

Yes I am contemplating one of the top three doctors to do the procedure. My results first time around were great, just want to stabilize the right side and add overall hairline density. Will add some photos later on.

The needles they stick deep into the donor area and also the shallows ones in the front recipient area are a little painful. The sensation of them removing the donor area, while not painful, is a little bit unpleasant. As far as surgeries go though it is not all that bad.
