I agree with you guys. A lot of people simply don't have realistic expectations. I also think it is good to share both good and bad experiences because they are helpful for people doing research as long as it is factually based or legitimate questions. Some of the attacks however are over the top and not really helpful (both against the clinics at times and against the posters at times). If someone is not happy with their results for some reason they should make every effort to discuss and resolve that with their doctor rather than attack them in an open forum. Certainly if the clinic does not respond for some reason, that is good information to know. However I am sure that all of the top clinics will respond to their patients' concerns.

Here is some additional information. Strip size: 1.5cm width x 27.5 cm length. Vitrase was used in the donor before excision to increase laxity. ACell wound strips were used in the donor closure and ACell fine particles for the graft follicles 3048 Grafts = 6447 Hairs Total 1’s – 633 2’s – 1545 3’s – 756 4’s – 114 I can't figure out how to get the images into the post. Any help in that regard would be appreciated. I created a photo album with 6 pre and post op photos.

Some of the research I have done is that Rogaine combined with Fin works better than either alone. I was one of the lucky ones that ad a very noticeable thickening wit Rogaine and no shedding. However it did lose effectiveness over the years. Still use it but started fin in Feb this year.

FDA: Prostate Cancer Risk From BPH, Hair Loss Drugs
orlhair1 replied to Mutahirw's topic in Open Hair Loss Topics
Definitely something to pay attention to and discuss with your Dr. However, I would not be alarmed by every study that comes out. It is just one more thing to consider. When you think about it sodas increases the risk of several types of cancer and how many people drink them every day. I am not minimizing it but just suggesting it is not something to overeact to. -
Back at the hotel after a great experience with Dr. Shapiro. His brother Paul even popped in a few times. Janna and all the staff were fantastic. Matt stopped in to check on me as well. Everyone went out of there way to make me feel comfortable all day. Ended up with 3048 grafts in both the crown an hairline(more in the hairline) I will post pics and more info when I return to Orlando.

Well, after all the research and waiting, my big day is finally here. Off to Minneapolis tomorrow for my surgery with Dr. Ron Shapiro on Tuesday. Thanks to all for your input over the time I have been on the forum. I will keep everyone posted.

I have used Rogaine for years. When I first used it I had substantial thickening in the crown area. Over time I think the results started to diminish, although I think it helped me retain a lot of hair I otherwise would have lost. When the foam came out I switched to that because it is easier to use and unscented. I never had any issues with the foam.
