Great answer Jotronic, was that a google cut and paste job or are you really that inteligent?

This transplant has definitely improved the appearance of your hair i think hair care.

Have you got a picture of your scar now? I started weights and running at 4 weeks after my surgery. If there is going to be any complications regarding scar or recipient area, then i will stop immediately but 1 year is a bit much.

Great transformation.

Should definitely start finasteride Ethanjorg.

Apprentices do often outperform their teachers if you could look at it in that way, but they are both two of the best surgeons around.

The problem with taking finasteride is you don't know what position you would be in had you not been taking finasteride,so it leaves people inclined to carry on, leaning on the side of caution. It's very hard to measure the success of finasteride if you don't see any regrowth but yet could still be potent and working great by slowing/stopping future loss.

Looks great and suitable for a man of his age.

I didn't realise there was 3 pages to this thread but your results look great for 20 weeks, impressive and congratulations so far.

But what is the definition of light?. I could quite easily bench press a couple of cotton buds but i have started a month later after surgery. A YEAR without those exercises is ludicrous; you might as well not bother weight training without core exercises like that, as they are the fundamental of an optimum physique. Has there been any relation/correlation of weight training to grafts growth?

I would sincerely hope that no clinic on this forum would aid their before and after transformations with concealers and it would be outrageous if any of the doctors recommended on here did such.

ok no worries

Consulting with both is the most sensible decision you could make.

Good job Doc. These people with curly hair are fortunate being able to gain more coverage over the head but i still wouldn't change it for straight

Thats a bit of a statement to say Dr Bisanga is the best FUE doctor in the world lol

How old are you now and have you got good donor supply left? If you have already had fut and have a strip scar, i would have fut again in my opinion.

I honestly don't think the experts even know enough about male pattern baldness as it stands. Do they even know yet why the sides and back is resistant to loss?

I think his hair looks fine Mick as well and if I was a surgeon, I wouldn't advise surgery either like yourself. However, all of the surgeons do not have the same opinion as one another. For example,Bernstein,Shaprio,yourselfs and others have a different philosophy, being a little more cautious/conservative for future loss, which I believe is evident in the work that is shown on the forums. I understand this as hair loss is progressive and no one can predict exactly what will happen in five, ten even 30 years down the line. However, other top surgeons take a different approach and some will lower hairlines on younger men if hairloss is minimal, which has been demonstated by results posted on this forum. If someone believes that this is affecting the mental well being, happiness and their daily routines, sooner or later they will find someone who is prepared to operate and perform surgery to eliminate this, which they may or may not regret. I am sure as surgeons, they can gage if a young guy is experiencing psychological problems in a consultation but he is a 25 year old man and can make his own decisions in life. Educating and research is most important i think as we don't want this young man to get sucked in by e.g Armani, lose a fortune and scar him mentally and financially for life, as there are definitely more cowboys then experts in this industry.

Can be taken through tablet or applied to the skin. I had bad acne from the age of 14 to 16 and adventually was proscribed it by my doctor when i was 16 from memory. My younger brother has also been on it when he was younger. I never had a spot again after using it for 4 to 6 months, but has to be proscribed as it is very strong and i had to have blood tests/monitored etc. This was about ten years ago, so my memory is a bit faint.

I had acne as a child and was proscribed 3 lots of anti biotics over different periods, which didn't work. Finally, i got put on roaccutane(super stuff) at the age of 16 and never ever had a spot since. I have been on finasteride since i was 20/21 and i am now 26.

Has there been any proven reason why this is the case?

Nice result and good result with the use of propecia. Some people seem to think that finasteride only works in the crown area, which it has demonstrated here clearly but i remember a post before from yourselves demonstrating the effect in the frontal region, which again was clearly evident.

I personally not sure about a correlation between weight training and hair loss. For me personally, I used to train heavy 5times a week, diet 6 days a week( 6 meals a day),supplement, when i was training to be fitness model for a period of 1 year. I personally didn't notice much difference to be honest in that extreme period and i have been weight training since the age of 14 and now i am 26. I must admit, i have cut down now but haven't noticed any difference in hair loss. There are plenty of bodybuilders who extreme diet all year round, pump themselves full of steroids for tens of years and train twice a day and some have perfect heads of hair, on top of all the powerlifters, rugby,soccer,american footballers who all weight train regularly for years. The rate of anyones hairloss can not be exactly predicted by any of the leading experts, so to throw more variables into the mix such as stress, diet, fitness training,hair combing etc etc will make it even more complicated. Then again, i could be wrong

Its looks great I must say and I think Mr Konior results are impressive. Congratulations on your new head of hair.

I have realised recently of just how impressive Dr Konior work is and this is another fine example.
