were will the next grafts be taken from buzz??

before and after look crap to be harsh

hi ausboy first thing dont panic , your 28 and are only starting to notice the signs of mpb . you have plenty of options to you and if can act now then you will be ahead of most in the game. (no point closing the stable door after horse bolts) i too was around 27/8 when first noticed thinning at the temple region luckily this didnt transfer to the crown region (still hoping) . i did nothing for about two years and it gradually got more noticeable and more upsetting for me. it really affected me. i was suffering from alot of stress at the time as well as the hairloss . i never went to my gp first but i would reccommend doing that first so a trained medical professional can explain the reasons and options to you. he may or may not prescribe you propecia or the like. i currently am only taking minoxidil as i dont like the idea of taking propecia given the possible side effects. i would highly recommend starting minoxidil immediately. next port of call would be to visit some local hair clinics and find out from them possible treatment options etc, it would probably be wise to give it a year or so before committing to any treatment to see if your hair loss stabilises. again before committing to any surgeon do your research , however you have found this site and im sure now that you have you will avoid many of the pitfalls people can make in tackling their hair loss. good luck and keep posting questions here and the like

hi buzz congrats oh ht .. i also thought the techs were very pretty ;-) you seemed to have a great experience like me . now its the waiting game. i found dr saifi to be excellent from start to finsh an wroclaw a lovely city to exlplore i did wonder about the clinic initially but once i entered i was put at ease, the builiding itself is rather old and tired

loos great work dr boden

im 5 weeks post op today . im wondering is this growth im seeing permanent or is this due to shed do you think. iv noticed a bit of shedding previously but not really like the way others comment on is there a period of time that shedding occurs within , iv heard after a few weeks or can it go on longer? im hoping this is the start of my new growth althou seems awful early

im 20 days post op and dont seem to have shed at all really either

debating whether or not to tell them , ;-)

any advice guys?

i am 19 days post op and my hair is very untidy at minute, i am wanting to get a haircut this week . my new transplanted hair has yet to fall out yet , should i wait until it does fall out or is it fine to carry on regardless ca nthe barber cause any damage to the hair either newly transplanted or around the donor area??? my doc in his post op instruction give about 3 weeks before haircut which is about now , wanted to see what others felt.

i was thinking that myself just wanted to check incase otheres thought different , cheers

at times i become confused with info out there re transplanted hair. if a graft can only be surgically removed after ten days or so how would wearing a swim cap cause any damage to the grafts???thanks hairthere

i believe its larry shapiro who sells the hair shake and makes tha claim re whey isolate, there may be others who claim this also on shapiros website there is info

im going to keep taking my protein couldnt ive without it but i may change to whey concentrate as opposed to isolate the problem is when these docs make these claims it is planted in your mind and no matter what evidence there is to the contrary there is always that doubt that sways you to to maybe think otherwse

hi dutch are you saying that roids dont contribute or cause hair loss??? i thought this was fairly standard school of thought

what are your views on the use of whey protein and hair loss. i am a keen gym goer and protein shakes are a big part of that. my surgeon says that the protein is not good for suffers of mpb and that it can speed up hairloss he also says this of creatine he pointed me towards a hair shake by shapiro not sure if i buy into the use of protein as damaging but i can see some logic in science

hi , i am heading for hotel break and would like to make use of the lovely facilities such as swimming pool on offer. on day of going i shall be 25 days post o do you think this is sufficient time to do no harm to new grafts, i dont plan on doing any strenuous swimming just chillingn inthe pool what do you guys think of wearing swimming cap to keep water out ??

thanks guys

perhaps i may need more , howver as buzz says at least there is a affordable surgeon in europe who after speaking to prev patients performs great results and i can always go for second procedure , heres hoping i dont need to and i am happy with the results

sorry i mean rod ;-)

thanks buzz results loo good when are you heading over rob ; thanks for encouraging comments

hi buzz its a waiting game now who else posted pics buzz??

hi jotronic that sounds just like how they come out , i know they are supposed to come out its just when they do you cant help but question is this normal thanks

i am about 15 days post op. on occassion i gently massage my scalp and i often see hairs amognst the flakes of skin . is this normal , sometimes it looks like a bulb like shape , is this a graft lost or is this normal??

i would hasve thought if personal doctor recommended only minoxidil for 6 months he should follow his instructions, he is the professional
