you can ALWAYS "tweak" it and add to it you have an excellently designed hairline, with great hair characteristics re: minoxidil i am wondering why the doctor instructed you to do so since the hairline was not shown to benefit from its application in studies maybe because these ARE REALLY NOT hairline hairs anymore since they have been transplanted from the back in addition, using minoxidil has shown to cause shedding after months of use. this will make everything look worse. but these hairs will return. this can explain why your hair was more dense in previous months. it looks fantastic for 6 months, even though it looked more dense a couple of months ago maybe no more pics and examining it since like you've said, "I am going to give it the full year of course - what other choice do I have?"

i see the scalp but still think this is an incredible transformation so if you decide that you need a few more grafts to beef up the hairline density in 6 months GO FOR IT i wouldn't call this a repair case in any stretch of the imagination aside: why would the doctor recommend minoxidil for the hairline transplant research shows it helps with MPB not hairline maybe stop using it there since it probably kicked these hairs into their next cycle

ohhhh

there is a HUGE difference from 4 months to 6 months HUGE even if you need a "tweak" to the scar or the hairline in another 6 months it will be minimal work know this

i meant taxing on the follicle as well

hey adamaj you didn't have you recipient area shaved but had grafts implanted between existing hairs?

WOW! what a great transformation! gotta research this Pong

hariri was a repair case just saying....

great hairline design you did wonders with a small amount of grafts for the area covered

for 3000 grafts - STRIP (too many to do FUE in one session...not that it hasn't been done, but it's taxing) you can always FUE the strip scar in the future

.....

yes! facial plastic surgeons do this to decide on nose, chin and cheek projection for deciding on size of implant patient and doctor knows this is only a projected outcome and not a guarantee but a tool that both can use in deciding "what is possible" and "what might look best" myself, i am having a difficult time deciding the best placement of temple angle and points 3/4 angles of the head in 3D would make all possible options clear....whether or not these results are achievable is another matter. But this approach can bring both patient and doctor into agreement more readily

maybe his patient care staff is on top of all clients post-op and they handle any issues privately ...oh, that's another positive, sorry ; )

i haven't had a hair transplant but now i use NIOXIN scalp treatment number 2 for fine hair it is a styling product in mousse form that creates incredible thickness apply like a mousse let dry then brush out and WOW! NOT SURE IF THIS PRODUCT IS ALLOWED AFTER HT though but provides a denseness that will have people comment

this is great technology pre-op to decide the best positioning for a HAIRLINE, including temple angle and temple point I would be interested in doing this for that reason alone

maybe his patients' demographic skew LOWER than most other practices. lower age range more internet device savvy.... ...could be

good luck! let us know diffuse thinner or hairline issue

blood and surgery every reputable OR should require

Travel!

not sure. i have heard of people switching to avodart from propecia have experienced some shedding my levels were between 105,000 and 120,000 for 10 years last year went on no sugar/high fat diet my levels have been hovering around 140,000 on 2 blood tests

yes! none whatsoever this is the first time i even linked the two then did a google search i always wondered why i had low platelet count i've had surgery with this without any questions from the surgeon... maybe because they are still in triple digits

i've been on propecia for 15 years and have had a low platelet count since 2000 so if propecia has been linked to low platelet count and propecia is recommended to slow hair loss/grow hair not sure why your doctors of choice have nixed your booking surgery with them oh, forgot to ask: are you on propecia check this out: Finasteride-induced thrombocytopenia - Kouriefs - 2002 - BJU International - Wiley Online Library

hey beaver buzz don't fret i understand that HT procedures (as do any cosmetic procedures) should be seen on a spectrum; norwood 7 through norwood 2. yours happens to be norwood 2 "finesse work" to frame the face realize not many are here with your situation that said, i see what you are talking about re: the temple points. know that HT to areas where there are no hair might look "like your balding" or "a hair transplant" until full growth occurs. two things: 1) you are only 6 months out and you have at lest another 6 months to see the fullness of the growth 2) even if you need a few more grafts to the temple points to fill them out at the end of your one year, that will be a piece of cake to do. the design is excellent. know this

wow! fantastic hairline design
