Does that even happens ? Would the oozing of blood would have also happened on the 2nd day ? which I was 16 Hours Later into my procedure ?

I know Man ! This is my 4th attempt and even after that these small incidents rattle me. After all it is with so much of passion one gets this thing done. I was and I am always told by my treating Doctor. The night on the HT Procedure is very critical as the grafts are very loose even a small jerk can dislodge it but the next morning it is a diffrent ball game altogether. Hopefully I was in that Zone where this small fall of water would have not caused any harm. But who knows ? I But I am so pissed off with myself that even after taking so much of care being so much vigilant how the freakin hell did this happen. Uggh !!

Hi Guys, So finally took the plunge of doing a Hair Transplant Touch Up procedure. Had some 500 odd Hair Grafts planted in the Hairline and around Mid-Scalp region. But there was this incident that happened with me which is kind of is unnerving me and I thought let me the community here what do you think if according to you guys does it sound like a potential issue ? which may affect the end result or not ? So my procedure got over at 5:30 PM in the evening and till about next day 10 AM in the morning all went well, so after about 16 Hours the next day what happened was I stepped in the bathroom not realising that the overhead shower lever was in a working mode and not the below Tap Water. So when I pulled the water Lever some water from the over head shower fell on my head which I think passed through the transplanted area on my Hairline and Mid-Scalp. There was no oozing of blood or no obvious bleeding, also no evident hair graft popping out or getting lose, atleast not to the naked eye. Do you think this incident of shower water passing through the Transplanted area would cause any difference to the end result ? Some water passing through the transplanted area that too after 16 Hours ? What I am worried about is not the water which fell but the force of water which could have potentially dislodged the hair grafts. Which doesnt look to the Naked eye. Got it checked with my brother also. Should I be worrying ? If not, why not ? What would have been the case where I should have been worrying about it.

Hey Guys, So this is the area that I want to fill in with Beard Hair Grafts, How many do you think Beard Hair Grafts would do the trick here ?

Well to begin with I am not a Man blessed with a lot of Beard Hair, so Beard Hair is a rare commodity for me. So I don’t know going aggressive is going to help anything because there has to be some goods to be delivered. Yes, Side Locks would have been one desirable and promising area which would have something exciting in store for me, but sadly I have been told the Max that we can get out of there is 70 or 90 Hair Grafts and that’s it. This is including both the sides SideLocks.

When you say below the Jawbone you mean to say Shadow area right ? But are you suggesting your best bet would be 300 or 400 ? because we are talking a difference of 100 Hair Grafts and for a Person looking to cover his balding head this mean a lot of Grafts and hold a lot of significance 🙂 So would you say I can push for even 400 Hair Grafts from the Beard even if it is looking slightly tight there around 300 ?

Yes, I think we spoke only about the Shadow area, So even the Dr was a bit hesitant in suggesting we will be able to go pass 500 Beard Grafts in my case. But someone also told me 800 that got me all pepped up and excited !! Hence confirming here.

So if someone were to say oh well, you know you can have 800 to even 1000 grafts from that beard. That should sound impossible right ?

Hi Guys, Planning to use some beard hair grafts for a Mid-Scalp Touch Up Procedure. According to you guys how many beard Hair Grafts do you think can be harvested out of this Beard ? I know it is not very thick and dense and full but whatever is visible and there how much do you think can be used ?

So they don't fall from the roots? they just fall from the scalp surface? is it ?

Hi Guys, Asking this for a Family Member. Does anyone know about this ? A Close Family Member has been diagnosed with Stomach Cancer and as a result she is undergoing Chemo Therapy Sessions and she is losing almost all her Hair. I am curious to find out, these Hair that have fallen during the Chemo Therapy Sessions do they fall from the Roots or do they just fall from the surface of the Scalp and not the Follicle or roots ? Does anyone know about this ?

This is Purely from an aesthetic enhancement. It is a Luxury not need. I am aware and I still want to do it.

Hi Guys, I am looking for some refilling of Hair Grafts in my Hairline areas to compliment my earlier Procedure. I wanted to know from you guys. I have taken some pictures of my hairline and area where I want these Hair Grafts to be placed. So I have gone ahead and used my own judgement and imagination on if I were to place Grafts in the area, I wish to touch up now. How many Hair Grafts would would it take? I wanted a count. Can you guys have a look at these pictures and please tell me do you agree with the slits/red dots that I have done ? As in I have done it the most realistic way a HT surgeon would do and the count comes to around 260 Hair Grafts for near the Hairline. What do you guys think ?

Mind you some people do not shed, for e.g. I did not shed at all during my first procedure. And yet had good results. So as of now nothing to worry.

How did you find out that only oral works for you ? And topical does not ?

Hmmm...This sounds interesting.

2.5 MG Once a day. Only after 3 Months if everything goes well it could be scaled up to 5MG once a day everyday.

But you are missing the point ! First is it a well established fact and backed by data ? that you just cannot rely on Oral Minoxidil and should also continue applying Topical Minoxidil ? How to apply it ? Tips and Tricks on how to apply it. These all come later...My question is why need for both ? and is there a need for both ? I know I am free to do as I wish. But I am trying to find out from guys here what have their respective Dermats told them ?

Yes but my question is the whole idea people prefer and like and would want to switch away from the hassles and messiness of applying Topical Minoxidil. why would someone want to do both ? That's way too much effort and work to save your hair isn't ? And is very Tiring and Boring.

I have a question to all Guys here who take Oral Minoxidil ? Do you guys also apply Topical Minoxidil along with taking Oral Minoxidil ? When my Dermatologist put me on Oral Minoxidil he advised me against stopping using Topical Minoxidil saying that look at Oral Minoxidil as a tool to enhance and supplement topical Minoxidil. It is not a substitute to applying Topical Minoxidil. I am confused hearing this from him. How many of you guys apart from taking oral Minoxidil also apply Topical Minoxidil ? Also which time of the day or night do you guys take Oral Minoxidil ? I have been advised to take it at night just before bed time. I have been told to continue using the power of 2.5MG Oral Minoxidil every day for 3 Months before it can be scaled up to 5 MG ?

Yep ! The biggest advantage of oral minoxidil is ease of use, no messy hair. Use Hair styling products as much and as many times you want. Even that is my motivation aswell.

Did you get 1.25 MG does readily in the U.S or did you cut the 2.5MG in half ? And then take it ?

I knew this was coming. I am anyways gonna do that. But my appointment is taking a little too long. Hence I wanted to get an idea till then, what is the most common and popular dose which guys with similar age and problem follow ?

I have this question to guys especially mid age guys here like 35+ what is the does of Minoxidil you guys are on ? I am thinking about starting Oral Minoxidil but thinking what would be the best minimum does of Oral Minoxidil which is safe and yet is good enough to give results. Would you guys say 2.5MG or should I split the 2.5MG tablet in half and take that ? I have been on Finasteride/Dutasteride on and off my hairloss is not severe and it has stabilised. Worried about the side effects like faster Heart Beats, Drop in Blood Pressure, Fluid Retention in Body etc...
