really nice work. is he on meds?

congrats-very impressive. are you on fin?

Looks great so far. Having been on the finasteride for 17+ years, did you feel a level of significant comfort that the recession had slowed enough to move forward?

Very impressive. Congratulations

Fantastic result and thanks for sharing. Are you on meds?

very impressive especially considering the graft count. On medication? Also, fut or fue?

great result--is he on medication?

Good morning, Does anyone have trouble loading photos on their desktop? The hour glass just keeps rolling on and on and the photo doesn't load. This is is the second computer where I can't load the photos and I wonder if its a settings issue, etc...any help would be appreciated.

Thanks David for your in depth response. I am 46 years old. I have looked into Avodart but have been told by my general internist to stay away from it. He is also not very fond of the propecia but I continue. I really haven't had a whole lot of side effects with the propecia to speak of, except slightly decreased libido (but may attribute that to aging as well!) I have had multiple consultations with some great surgeons, all the way from the east coast to the west coast, in my due diligence. The general feel was "I will not ultimately go completely bald" and some have even said I shouldn't obsess about it right now and consider something in the future. But, I must say, what I see, day in and day out makes me question otherwise. The general creeping back of the hairline and oh crap moments each week, as I see the hairline going back further and further and thinning all over. The one thing I have yet to see effected much yet at all is the crown. The surgeon plan was FUT and mainly into the recessed areas/temporal and about 3000 grafts.

First off, I have to say this site has been incredibly helpful and is a true resource. I have had recession and thinning for years. Am on 1.5mg daily of Finasteride and have been for 15 years. It has helped but lately (last three years), feel like the battle is being lost. Therefore, I think transplant. My decision to do a transplant (have the dr. figured out) is still worrisome because I fear having it done, all the hair behind my transplanted space falling out, and having the need to ultimately shave my head and lo and behold I have this massive scar there for people to look at (especially in church!)...How do people who have had a transplant rationalize this last step before they take the plunge and if you do go fut should you expect that you will never be able to shave your head without someone completely noticing what has been done? Many thanks for input. Really need that last push to cross the HT Finish line.

Thanks a lot Brain Fried. Really looks good. How much time do you spend worrying about the hair behind the transplanted area and how much has your hair loss proceeded since the transplant?

looks really impressive. have you been on finasteride? What was the hardest thing post transplant?

great work is this patient on finasteride?

did you lower your hairline? Also, after the surgery was completed, did you live a fairly social life still or was it too noticeable? Could you comment on how you "lived with that process?" thanks and looks great again.

really looks great. congrats.
