  1. ^^lol I hear ya. He did say that I would probably be good for 2 surgeries which would give me a total of 5000 grafts
  2. Hi, does anyone here have any experience using Proscar while taking anabolic steroids? It was my understanding that the Proscar would aid against hair loss while using. I asked a well known hair surgeon about this and he stated that Proscar would not be effective while on steroids. I respect his opinion but I've heard thru countless people that it halted their hair loss while using.
  3. Hi, thanks for the reply it was very helpful. I'm on a tablet and for some reason I cant use the search feature. I also contacted Dr Rassman, he suggested I try Proscar with Rogaine for a year before I go thru with surgery. I'm anxious to have more hair, but I think waiting a year may be a good idea.
  4. Hi, I am considering a few surgeons in California for a hair transplant. One is Dr Meshkin. He is very affordable and is recommended by this site, however he is not a coalition member. Can someone point me to some reviews of Dr Meshkin?
  5. Dr Meshkins patient results almost appear to good to be true. However if he can give those type of results with those graft counts im sold
  6. I also contacted Dr Williams, Dr DeYarman and Dr Rassman. I sent them my pics and will see what they recommend
  7. I emailed Dr Meshkin and he put me in the NW5 category and said he could harvest 3000 grafts after seeing my pics. He charges 2.50 per graft during February. He seems to want me to book a surgery which is a red flag imo.Anyone heard about Meshkin? I can get 3000 grafts for 7500.00 compared to 2400 grafts for 8400.00 at Dr Carmens
  8. I also agree that 2400 grafts is not a huge amount but im not looking for total coverage. I mainly just want the hair on the very top middle part of my head right behind the hairline so it looks fuller from the front.
  9. He didnt specify if it was my lifetime supply. I actually just asked him via email to clarify, im awaiting his response. Yes ive thought about not being able to shave the head if need be. There is alot to consider. FUT would be the best route I think but the cost is so high
  10. Thanks for the kind words GoForit. I realize ill never have a full head of hair again but from what I see I think 2400 grafts would make a decent improvement. I think I will consult a few more surgeons. As of now im currently not on fin, I just got the prescription so im hoping starting that will make some progress as well. Im using Rogaine as well.
  11. I searched the forum and found some pretty positive results of NW6 procedures done in the 2 to 3k graft range. Granted they didnt get full coverage but they look much better. Im hoping that I can acheive the same promising results by concentrating more on the frontal part of my head.
  12. To be honest id prefer to stay in the states. My goal is to bridge the gap between the two sides and have a fuller frontal appearance. Im not going for full coverage so the crown can remain the same. Im just curious if a 2400 graft procedure is worth it for my expectations
  13. The doctor I went to was Tim Carmen in La Jolla Ca. He is who I am considering at this point.
  14. Im 32 and just started taking Propecia along with Rogaine. My goal is to reinforce the frontal third. Im ok with having a thin crown. Im going the fut route because the price of fue is really high
  15. Im actually not going for full coverage I just want the frontal part thicker, the crown would be left as is
