I believe it is normal for un-transplanted hair to shed and it will grow back, as long as that hair was not on its way out in the first place.

Good luck man! You've got James having his done next month and I'm going with Dr. Doganay in July, so you should have 2 detailed accounts on what to expect.

Looking good, Goat!

Are you on any sort of medicine like Propecia or have you been? I only ask because I'm not sure whether to start taking it after I've had my HT.

Glad you're sticking to it pal! Can't wait to see the results. Good luck with everything!

I am also going with Dr. Doganay in July so I shall also be documenting everything on here.

Yea I'm waiting for them to activate me too. If you sign out you can see the pictures if that helps .

You make a good point mate! I think if I'm going to go on them then I'll just wait till after. If it causes any further lose then I am prepared to have a smaller HT later on in my life as I'm not expecting to lose much more anyway.. Hopefully.

If transplanted hair is placed near or between native hair it can cause shockloss, which should grow back from 3-6 months however if the native hair is already on the way out due to MPB then it would be permanent.

 

That is why some suggest to take propecia 6 months before a procedure to possibly help stop this from happening as propecia can strengthen the native hair and possibly halt or slow this down.

 

Hope this helps.

Cheers James! Do you reckon it's worth starting propecia now? I'm just over 3 months away from my hair transplant.

If you have hair you want to keep, you should take propecia. Side effects are possible, but uncommon, and you won't know until you take it. That's all there is to it.

I see. Thank you .

Starting new hairloss meds especially finasteride can potentially induce a shed within 90 days of initial use. It is not common but every now and then we read about someone starting Propecia or Proscar and experiencing a shed. They either start it just before their procedure or immediately afterward. It can potentially affect the regrowth (yield) timetable of the procedure.

 

Ideally, starting these meds at least 6 months or longer prior to surgery will at least pass the inhibition period and if someone is destined for a shed, it should occur before their surgery and also have enough time for the shed hair to regrow.

 

If shed hair does not have enough time to regrow to where the hair shafts are once again visible, possible damage/transection of some underlying follicles can occur. This can happen when the recipient incisions are made for new grafts because the surgeon cannot see where the dormant hair follicles are located beneath the scalp.

 

Something to think about. You may want to consider starting the new meds after the regrowth of your procedure has manifested.

 

Keep in mind I am not a doctor and not giving medical advice but again base this opinion on many observations over the years.

This was extremely helpful, thank you! I guess what I want to know is, can an FUE shed potentially cause me to lose further hair for good if I am not on Propecia? As in, if I am destined to lose a bit more of my hair on the hairline due to male pattern baldness, could a transplant cause this?

I'm fairly certain this has been asked before but I searched and found nothing.

Anyway, I'm set to have my procedure in July and I'm not on any sort of medicine right now. Is it a good idea to start taking propecia now?

Will it help during the regrowing stages and can I stop taking it a few months after?

I haven't taken any before as I don't really like the sound of the side effects, nor do I have any lose (or expecting any lose) on my crown.

I also read that when you stop taking propecia it can cause you to lose a few more hairs?

Cheers

Search for Dr. Hakan Doganay's work on here. He is based in Antayla in Turkey and has produced some impressive results.

I'm looking to get the best exchange rate (GBP to Euro) and so far the best way I have seen to do it is by either getting the cash from a shop, or by getting a Fairfx Euro card.

So can anybody enlighten me to a better way where I don't lose so much money?

I am exchanging some messages with Dr. De Reys. I get always prompt responses, which makes me feel more comfortable if I decide to do it with him. I saw some recent videos (after 2010, when he left Prohair) and the results are really good. Throwaway, please update us. You would help me a lot to make my decision based on your results! Thank you in advance!

Thanks Denny but I decided to book with Dr. Hakan Doganay in the end.

Excellent results yet again!

I will be having the procedure with you in July and I look forward to posting my results for everyone.

Excellent post Johnny.

Mickey, The only things I don't like about Dr. Hakan Doganay is that he doesn't have sufficient number of results posted online while Dr. Koray Erdogan is has loads of posted results and his website has great materials and information. He even has his own page on you tube (ASMEDFUE) while Dr. Hakan has none even by typing his name in the search bar in YOU TUBE, Nothing found NADA!

I received these links from Dr. Hakan Doganay's representative.

Congratulations, Hakan! I emailed you on Saturday and I was just wondering what the general turn around time is on emails?

I'm eager to read your feedback, especially on De Reys.
