As pointed out by the Gillenator you should be good to go as long as their is no sunburn (indicating damage to skin cells). Good luck Ernie

You already have thick dense hair, and your results will likely turn out like Spankers (who went with a different doc though). Work looks very clean.

I had stopped again prior to my Konior small procedure to achieve a non-Finasteride baseline but am back on this dosage schedule of .625mg 2x week on Tues and Fridays. I'm a firm believer that it works as the hair boost is back with hair even sticking up and darkening while sperm quality and sexual performance is solid... lol Yes I can feel some differences compared to when stopping (slightly less sensation, occasional light brain fog) but these are much reduced than when I was taking 1.25mg 3-4x week. Sticking with this routine for the long-term fingers crossed..

Stay away from the robotic and automated FUE procedures, the ones that promote them and pay for ads in national publications are the ones who have already made the capital investment and have a lot to lose. Manual FUE is much better for the patient. As for the crown, most tend to say it's a black hole no matter how many grafts you pour into it's impossible to restore perfectly. Some other options are to grow the hair long in the vertex and style it back to cover the spot or also SMP could be another solution. If you have some grafts left, SMP plus a small modest FUE procedure done by manual FUE could provide some improvement. good luck

A lot of head injuries can come from playing soccer but at 1 month you should be out of the woods mostly. Just try to take it easy (woos it out a little lol) for the first sessions until you reach 2-3 months. No diving headers either. Running and sweat should be fine but keep the scalp clean afterwards.

The only problem with conservative is that if it's the patient's first transplant people's goals can eventually change later on. After they later realize that hey wow HT's in the hands of a great surgeon really do work! then they will in a lot of cases want more hair. When I restarted all of this again many years after my failed Bosley procedure (in my early 20's) I was a NW2A-3 with a gaping forehead especially on one side and never ending temple corners, so I simple asked Dr. Hasson to give me a hairline. It worked and after the realization hit me I eventually wanted more. Thankfully I am finally done and did not have any issues in any of the subsequent surgeries or long-haul travel journeys (even travelled to Belgium at a dubious time), but new patients should think about the total lifetime plan including going a little more aggressive or dense in some cases to avoid the need or greed (lol) for future procedures. Anyway great natural results Blake, if I was still in the market for a FUT procedure you'd be in my top list for sure. Good work

Lesson here, never ever doubt doctor Hasson's work. In the large majority of cases he's hitting it out of the park.

Try and hang in there with the meds as your doing, as your hair is thicker in density than what most conservative docs shoot for already (50 gtafts/cm2). I don't think a HT will make you any more happier. But it never hurts to research the options when it bothers you. Reading and posting (venting) on the forum is a way to deal with it.

I don't think you need any work whatsoever and a transplant could harm what you already have.

Are you taking any meds? If not and have aggressive hairloss then it might be sound advice. Everything behind the transplants could be lost and knowing where that line is in terms of stable area is important.

Unfortunately sometimes seems aloof (or maybe just too busy??)... especially to some of the veterans who keep this place running most of the time. But it's ok all of us are at risk of ending up like JT anyway, so better not get into too much HLS2015.

From what I've seen in the past the forum user ASMEDMANUALFUE basically does not reply to questions. Hope I'm wrong and I hope you get your reply but I think it's a clinic rep who doesn't have authority to make replies.

I've been around here a while and I see things, I mean I see and notice things like fine details, people's hair characteristics and also what they say and how they help and interact with other forum members. You are one of the good guys Spanker. Also compared to most of us your initial hairloss was not that extensive and you also appear to be a great responder to Fin, so that puts you miles ahead the majority of hairloss sufferers. Even your temple points and temple area is strong which some of us older guys would kill for, that youthful look even in the temples. That should give you some positive perspective to think about Anyway back to the subject at hand, until something better comes along it looks like we can at least count on Replicell possibly being available in 2018 and other advancements in stem cell research etc. http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/186140-revolutionary-replicel-hair-loss-treatment-2018-a.html I'm not sure we'll reach a full cure in our earlier lifetimes when we're still young enough to care but who knows.

The J-shaped or kinked ends of the hairs are tell-tale signs of transplanted hairs shedding for the first time. Nothing to worry as already mentioned above, grafts are set in place and will produce new hairs after some time.

I didn't see if you mentioned if you had tried Propecia (Finsasteride) or not, but I'm sure most responders to your post will ask you that. With your advanced hairloss and limited amount of donor left I would go with an elite FUT surgeon first to maximize what you have left especially if you want to achieve the dense look in the leftmost photo. Small FUE procedures with the doctor you mention who is known for decent but modest results (not necessarily a density "king") won't get you there. Though there are some doctors who do aggressive FUE such as Dr. Erdogan in Turkey and Dr. Diep in California. If it were me I would look at maximizing out your limited donor with a respected FUT surgeon known for density such as Dr. Hasson or Dr. Rahal. You already seem comfortable with your look and there are no guarantees with HT's, so research it carefully and don't rush into anything. good luck

The punch size will depend on your hair caliber and graft characteristics but the smaller punches in the .7mm-.8mm range are what the better docs use. Also larger punches may be used for the higher count FU's like 3s and 4s and also those with curly hair. The typical full range is around .7mm-1.2mm.

Certainly one for the docs to answer. My gut answer is no but I would worry about the "few weeks apart" aspect if something were to happen such as complications after the first surgery and also the affects of possible meds taken. What does your prospective HT surgeon say about it?

That's good to hear Matt, reassuring. As mentioned yours and others results have impressed me. Did you approach him about the subject of possibly being recommended here?

I have not researched Dr. Mohebi that much to give a definitive answer but what I have seen has been decent. As long as you have researched it thoroughly including making a list of pros and cons compared with other possible surgeons you should be good.

Copy and paste of what I wrote in your other post: FUE when done by an elite surgeon can be a better experience overall especially when it comes to the post-op healing phase in the donor and especially reduced downtime if you lift or do strenuous exercise. However as you are a stated NW 4A on your profile, you did the right thing with going with FUT first to maximize your lifetime donor supply. So don't second guess yourself too much. You can always have smaller FUE procedures for touchups along the way subsequently.

Agreed as well, this is important info for future patients and try to post some pics (just crop out your face and any other distinguishing features)

Which part was the LOL directed at? Was a serious post showing I've been quite impressed but as a non-patient of his it's difficult for me to jump up and recommend him. I also mentioned he might consider seeking recommendation.. Does the communication part get better after you're an actual patient? Because there are a myriad of guys here on HRN who say it's nearly impossible to get a hold of him and that would worry me for the patient's sake post-op if something were to go wrong. I'm all in for affordable FUE prices but I recommend the ones I know have excellent communication based on actually contacting clinics (Erdogan, Maras, Lupanzula etc.)

I've been nearly sold as well based on the success stories mentioned above. However, lack of robust communication especially if something were to go wrong and also stories of strapping cash to ankles etc. doesn't have me at the level of outright recommending to others quite yet. Maybe a HRN recommendation bid would be in order.
