In this forum there are plenty of specialists... So why are you asking me this?

This is a forum about hair transplants.

I hope some specialist reads this thread.

Well one of my FUE specialists said there's no problem at all and that it's not gonna harm the final result.

However, I wanted to know second opinions and personal experiences from some users from this forum.

I think there is a thread from someone who had a nose job after a HT in the "other plastic surgery" sub forum here. That patient would have been under general anaesthesia. I don't know if he ever commented on his overall yield but I think that sub-forum would be a good starting point for your research.

 

On the other hand I've never read a post-op guide that advised you against other surgeries until your grafts have grown out.

Where's that thread?

Because I'm gonna have a surgery to my nose as well!

I cannot see it having any impact whatsoever.

Do you know that for sure? Has this situation been presented by anyone else in this forum?

The answer to that question my friend is not on this forum, would you not think it best to speak to a expert in that field, for example a doctor.

What? This is a forum to make questions about FUE and everything connected to FUW.

And I know some FUE experts and doctors use this forum.

Hi all!

I've done a FUE a bit more than 1 month ago (33 days ago).

However, I'd like to know how many months after FUE I'm able to do a Surgery, which involves General Anaesthesia, without damaging the process of hair growth.

This surgery has nothing to do with FUE.

Basically what I want to know is how many months I need to wait until it's perfectly safe to do it.

Thanks!

And doesn't the hair take much longer to fully mature in the crown area?

So if that's true how can the 12 months deadline be applied in this case?

I've read that after 12 months the hair improves a lot.

Maybe that's the case: most hairs grow up before 12 months and then the improvement is so big until the 18 months mark that the result looks vastly better.

I keep hearing that after 12 months we should have the final result or extremely close to that.

Yet I keep hearing and reading many reports of people, including in this forum, that after 12 months most of their hair still is fine and not thick at all, and that there's still many hairs growing out of the scalp.

And to be honest that seems to be my case. I've done 2 FUE sessions in 2012 and other 2 FUE sessions in 2013 (4th October).

I'm almost reaching the 12 months mark after the last procedure yet there's still a lot of fine hair and many new hairs growing, at least it seems so.

My doctor said that after the last procedure the treatment was DONE - "you'll have your entire scalp covered with hair".

I have an excellent donor area and I'm (or was) a Norwood 5.

However, only part of the 2 sessions from 2013 served to fill my crown which seems to be the most slower area to get covered.

By looking at the mirror it's obvious there are thicker hairs then others in the same areas, it seems still a bit random.

I've read some articles and many doctors actually claim that 12 months is not the final result, it varies from person to person but only at 18 months or so you get the final result.

So why do many doctors keep talking about the 12 months mark?

Is it because the people who get their full or almost full result use products which speed up the process?

I don't use fast speed products, I only use Havogen-5 bands which serve to help maintaining the not transplanted hair I previously had (which wasn't that much, and that's good in my case since I have a very good donor area).

But those Haavogen-5 bands don't speed up the process a lot, my doctor seemed to say they may help a bit, nothing more.

So is the 12 months deadline only used when patients take medication to get the final results faster?

It seems this keeps misleading many people.

:confused::confused::confused:

Why were you worried about possible shock hair loss?

The hair should always regrow.

So?

:confused:

Hello everyone.

After we doing a first FUE procedure is it true that in the next FUE procedures our own hair and own previously transplanted hair (from the 1st FUE) can fall?

I mean, after the 1st procedure we can experience all the definitive hair falling?

If this is true how much time does it take to start regrowing once again? Does it take more or less the same time to regrow as the transplanted hair from the 2nd and next FUEs in the same person?

Such unbelievable incompetence... I'm just shocked.

How can this doctor be recommended by anyone at all? Since he has been criticised by many... yet still does this?

1 - it has not enough density

2 - the angles of the new hairs don't match the ones from the native hairs (this is so ridiculous for a professional doctor)

3 - the transplanted hair was all transplanted from the same donor area (FACEPALM!)

Fortunely this is easily fixed. So OP don't desperate!

But I have to ask to the OP to NOT go to Dr.Diep ever again and to spread the word about his abysmal incompetence.

This is totally UNNACCEPTABLE!

4000 grafts spreading over 3 zone is nothing for coverage.

Sorry but this is not correct.

It depends of the specific case. In many cases, even worse than the one from the OP, less than 4000 grafts was enough to cover all the head with good density.

Attention: FUT does not give more or better density coverage. It depends on the specific case.

Most of the times just one session of FUT gives more hair so generally FUE needs more than 1 session to give a similar coverage.

But don't confuse with "with FUE it's impossible to have similar or better coverage and density".

whatever dude

 

 

 

Ha Ha...you are funny Spanker!

Whatever buddy.

Spanker is really funny, that's for sure.

I would go to a doctor for medical advice. You should book an appointment with them immediately as you seem seriously concerned and not convinced. It seems like a physician giving you an answer may really help you, as no one has given you any scientifically researched answer that has suited your needs that includes scholarly sources.

 

Until then, you could consider delaying all sexual activity (of any kind) to prevent any undo hair loss. In fact, thinking about sex may raise your testosterone levels, so even reading this thread could cause side affects. I would try not to think about sex, or even this thread until you get a satisfactory answer from a medical doctor.

Hrm... did you read this thread?

I was agreeing with you that it's probably irrelevant to hair loss.

Tony I've read stories where it said castration in the early twenties entirely prevents development of male pattern baldness or if done later halts progression of balding.

 

Of course again, who is going to get castrated to keep their hair?

 

A couple of years back I did read a few guys post on another message board that they would consider castration to stop their balding, but who knows if they were actually serious.

Again, that's irrelevant.

I'm just asking if it causes or contributes or not to hair loss.

If people want to change or not their habits it's a different issue. I'm just asking if this is a myth or not.

I would say yes it is possible ejaculation may play a part in hair loss,

but what in the world are you going to do about it...

give up sex to keep more of your hair?

That's a trade-off very few guys are going to make.

But that's the problem.

So does it contribute or not?

I mean, most are saying this is nonsense yet some say it's possible...

DHT is a combatant to our hair follicles no matter what level however a lower level may imply that we have a longer time line to hold onto them.

So if that's the case... doesn't ejaculation really contribute to hair loss?

So basically DHT and testosterone can only cause hairloss when their levels are very high and they take a long time to dissipate, correct?

What do you mean? I thought by your and the responses of the others that there already existed scientific proofs this is pure nonsense...

I have never seen a study that says that sex increases DHT. It may increase androgen testosterone temporarily, but that does not mean that there will be a meaningful increase in DHT. Even propecia increases androgen T (but reduces DHT). You lose hair because your follicles are genetically predispositioned to be susceptible to damage from DHT.

 

There are more qualified people to answer this but I believe that the testosterone in men rises and falls dramatically several times a day (with or without masturbation) if I remember correctly from college A & P a decade ago.

So basicallyu DHT doesn't increase at all and and the androgen T increases only during a very short amount of time then it simply disappears, not having time to do anything harmful at all.

Correct?

Yes. Nonsense. Along the same lines of wearing a hat causes baldness, but with a mild attempt of being scientific.

But doesn't sex and ejaculation cause the increase of the amount of DHTs in our body which are responsible for hair loss?
