Ha completely fine. 3 months later all was ok. I've had a further 900 grafts taken since also!

Update Not much has changed 8 weeks on. I buzzed my head to a number 2 three weeks ago and will upload pictures when I return home in a few days. Is it possible that i'm suffering mild shockloss all over the donor area? It looks patchy with thick patches then extremely thin patches. Donor is also still a little pink also. I'm guessing its still early days... though at 8 weeks I would have thought my donor would be back to normal? It's apparent and looks like a bad haircut basically. Pictures coming soon...

Hi all I'm 15 days post op and just wished to have a professional opinion on my donor region please. 2200 grafts have been harvested in total and i'm a little concerned that my donor has been drastically thinned out. It's still early days, but compared to other FUE donor regions after 2 weeks i've seen, mine's looking a little worse off. Honest thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks

One more question… I have extremely fine hair all over, my scalp is very visible in bright light when my hair is buzzed to a number 2. If my hair did thin more this year, would it be an idea to get an all over transplant in between my shrinking hairs… then when they have gone get a further all over transplant to fill in between the newly planted hairs in 3-4 years time? How long do transplanted hairs typically last if one is taking finasteride?

Anyone had a transplant from way back and all showing ok?

Cheers chaps will check the links. Think i'll wait and see what happens this year on Finasteride and Minox and reasses then - seems the best bet. So far so good I guess, no major sides experienced. I had watery semen for the first few weeks and have small testicular ache's from time to time but generally everything is still working!

Hi Matt thanks for your reply. Is your father or grandfather bald? How long have you been on fin for? When did you first start to loose your hair? Has fin halted anything? Yep I think it would be all gone by the age of 36 if I stopped using fin! I'm thinking its best to ride out the next 6-12 months and see if finasteride can do anything for me first. I'm really hoping it can then I could safely assume a transplant could be more feasible, and not have to worry about a second one for maybe 6-10 years... although I think this is a tall order. I've seen picture's of finasteride taking norwood 5 and 6's back to norwood 2's over the course of 8-15 months and am extremely skeptical if this is even possible? It just seems far to good to be true!

Hi everyone i'm in need of some advise I'm 26 years old and am seriously considering FUE. My Dad and Grandad are both bald and had lost the lot on top by the age of 30. I first noticed my hair going aged 18 and didn't think much of it - its only up until the last 6 months I have looked into ways of saving it after 8 years of receding. I started Generic Finasteride 1mg daily and Kirkland Minoxidil twice daily in November 2012 and have just hit the 3 month mark. I have gained nothing back as of yet but my hair definitely feels different… so I'm hoping it will put a halt to any further recession at least. Now my questions Is it to early to consider FUE? I was hoping to have a procedure as early as April but worry that whilst my transplanted hairs could be ok I could loose the rest and need further procedures later on? Is it common for people on Fin with genetic MPB to get transplants and loose the rest of there non transplanted hair?? I have included a picture of my hairline now (left) and how it used to look before (right) including where I think grafts should be placed (bottom) Please advise! Out of interest what norwood scale is my hair? How many grafts would be needed roughly? I have extremely fine hair all over with a good donor area… Thanks
