Hi Guys, I wanted to start the new thread on this topic. But couldn't find the link to new thread. Hence I am posting it to this thread. I am a newbie and still doing research on FU transplantation and this forum is been very helpful with useful tips from experienced people. I dont like scars and hence I thought I would go with FUE. But after sending my photos to few selected physicians, I was told that I am not a candidate for FUE because of less donor density. That means if I have to go with HT, it should be FU ( strip) transplant. Yesterday when I was doing some research on patients who had already undergone HT, I noticed few people complaining about constant itching the donor scar area for a long time since the HT. That made me worry whether there could be any other long term side effects like head ache etc...etc...associated with HT which constantly reminds us that we had a HT. My question is " Has anybody who had FU strip transplant suffering from itching scalp(donor and recepient area), head aches etc ....after the wounds are fully healed ? " May be people who have had transplant more than a year ago would be the best candidates to answer this question.. Your inputs are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I was going through this forum and noticed that few of the hair transplant patients use hair loss treatements like Rogaine, Propecia etc...etc.. after their surgery. I was surprised to see this since I thought people ultimately go for surgery so that they dont have to use these products anymore. My question is after FU transplantation, how important it is to use these hair loss products ? If these are not used does it mean the transplanted hair will start shedding hair ?? Is normal hair care enough after transplant ??? Your input is greatly appreciated.. Thanks in advance.
