  1. Yeah, I googled it and it does sound very good - have a look (first result that comes up when typing 'hair harvest') - just wondered if anyone has had experience with it...

     

    You know the old saying " when something sounds to good to be true " I think this is one of those instances! If there were a major breakthrough in hair harvesting I think most people on this site would know about it.

    If you are looking for hairline work then you really need to consider Dr Rahal...I think he is generally considered the best with hairlines..I am like you, I had a lot of consults, ALL with coalition Drs, dont ever waste your time with another doctor thats not recomended on this site! Anyway, after about seven consults I decided to go wih Dr Rahal! I will be having surgery in January 2012. I live in Arkansas so as you can see I didnt let travel affect my decision, as well as you shouldnt. Continue to do your research, when you find the right doctor you will know!

    Good Luck on your journey!

    Oh yea...FUE VS FUT?? thats a tough one..in my case its easy..FUT..I think the graft survival rate and growth are much better..also, its a lot cheaper than FUE..

  3. The only question I can answer is I know the earlier you start, the better off your gonna be!! It may get worse for a few weeks, if you shed, but given the state you say your hair is in I highly doubt if it will make it worse! Thats my 2 cents

  4. Yeah, maybe give it a couple days to let the wounds from the sutures, staples heal. Here's a link to a thread I made a couple years ago with pics of me using dermmatch on my donor scar area. I'll probably be doing to the same thing again in a couple weeks when my staples are out.

    Aaron, your hair looks great man.

  5. Yes, it's probably shock loss and maybe a little from the shaving before the donor excision. Don't worry, it'll come back. Dermmatch would be great... just wait until you get the staples/sutures removed before you start applying concealer to the donor area.

     

    So it is okay to use a concealer when the sutures or staples are out? That's my biggest fear, not the shave, not the transplant, not the recovery, it's the dreaded shockloss!

  6. I think that may be a common mistake among users, that is to stop using your meds. I know that was my case. I believe had I stayed on the meds I would be looking at 2000 grafts as opposed to 4000! Give Rogaine and finasteride a full year before you consider a transplant. Especially at you age! I think you will see a difference with meds!
