I think Dr Rahal does an excellent job!

I would follow the clinics advice.

Do you seriously have nothing better to do with your time? If all you have to do is make up different names and troll a board that is a sad life. Move on man.

Yes This guy is definitely a troll. Your results are very good.

Excellent results

Looks like a great result! Makes me excited from my next procedure with Dr Rahal.

I'd say you are a 3 but appear to be headed toward a sure 5 or 6 without meds. Plus your a diffuse thinner like myself which always sucks more!

Mine was about 3 weeks. But when it started it came out QUICK!

Thank you. It's a little thinner than it looks! ( ALWAYS IS HUH ) but I think one more pass should get me fine. It way not take 3k, but hey Canada is a LONG away from where I live and if he can fit 3-4K in there I'll take it!

I would think it's from the trauma given what you had done but I certainly would get a medical opinion.

I've been on it since I was 18 and now I am 43. Never had this side effect, nor have I ever heard of it.

I think any scarring or damage that you may have would have occurred no matter what. Looks like a pretty good lick. Wouldn't be surprised if there were a little scar there. Big picture won't matter though.

I can't see myself going anywhere else either really, Konior would be my chose easily if I stayed in the US.

Thank you... I could use some in the midscalp area. Maybe thicken up the hairline a very little.

Fixing to go back for another procedure. Hoping to get at least 3k more grafts. Tell me what y'all think. Here's current. This obviously is somewhat wet and longer than I normally wear but focus for next procedure is to fill in mid scalp area. Maybe a little crown. After first procedure Dr Rahal told me he felt confident he could get 3-4K more via FUT. Let's hope!

Nice!

Which doctor are you referring to about packing in grafts? If it's Rahal you are delusional.

Agreed! I'm trying to reach him now for my next procedure, and I'm completely happy with Rahal. Just geography

Haven't really been on the boards in a couple of years and nothing has changed! Dr K still the man! That's gonna be a great result!

I sure don't wanna speak for Dr Rahal but I'm almost certain he's gonna want you to shave. I was nervous about is as well but then a calm just came over me there and I have my whole head shaved. It's so much easier to take care of, to clean, etc.... and it will all grow out at the same time. Personally I think a shave is the way to go but I know it can be scary!

Dr K was and still is the man!

Really??? Shockloss is temporary and you have it going on 1 year later? Not sure I'm buying or believing that. And just for the record, Dr Rahal is one of the most respected in the business.... and it's not " plugs " it's follicular units.

Well thats the million dollar question! Of course you could continue to lose hair, having made the switch to Avodart is probably a pretty good move as in thats probably about the best you can do to prevent other future loss. First, getting with an experienced transplant surgeon would be great..there are obviously many qualified ones on this site! You could not have come to a better place for information. You and your surgeon will be able to line a plan up for you….but to answer your question, YES its possible you will have to have another surgery…. my case for example.. 18 yo - 50 micrografts ( 1992 ) 19 yo - 500 micrografts ( 1993 ) these two were mistakes by me but I was 18 and losing my hair in my crown,,, 38 yo - 4800 grafts ( 2012 ) Dr Rahal---and this is the best my hair has looked since I was 22. Will I ever need another one? Its always possible….hope that helps..

Pretty much agree with all of the above…However I wouldn't rule out dut if you are really wanting to see a difference… But then again…you risk more sides…I completely quit taking finasteride…now I just take one .5 dutasteride every 3rd day..I can tell a pretty big difference.

thats still pretty early…possible, but pretty early
