2nd Hair transplant 8 months and nothing
Paulygon replied to nativeremdies's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
oops---- I'm sorry, I meant that I started Minox about 10 days post-procedure! I will edit my comment. -
Ah, I understand now.. Here in the USA, I remember young adults giving each other supplies of finasteride because some people were out of work and could not afford to see the doc (no health insurance) yet they still needed/wanted to treat their hair loss. Good luck whatever you end up doing my friend!

Paulygon replied to mkod's topic in Hair Loss Drugs
I do remember young adult days of people passing around supplies of finasteride to friends because the recipient was out of work and could not afford to see a doc. I don't recommend it.. but people will do what they have to do. Obviously it is better cross your t's and dot your i's.. we do not all have that luxury. -
Lol- my initial thought was he meant F for Dr Frank..

What about Care Credit? Do people finance HT's? (A family member of mine is a cosmetic dentist and his patients finance procedures with care credit from time to time.. I know Vetrinarians have that too). I don't love the idea of financing luxuries but when you make the argument about being in your "prime appearance" that tugs at my heart strings a bit. Another consideration- I got a pretty nice discount on my procedure for signing up to be a candidate on a standby list where the physician's office would call me to fill in for a cancellation (which reminds me, if you cancel you shouldn't feel too bad because your doc may have someone else on standby). Mohebi's office called me about a week or so before the procedure date and told me if I want, I can come in and get the procedure done on a Friday. So, I talked with my boss to make sure I can get a day or two off and he was supportive.. so I did it. My thoughts are that it would cost somewhere between $6-$12k to do an FUT procedure with 1400-3000 grafts, depending on the surgeon, location, travel expenses, etc. That's just a ballpark, and my thoughts.

3950 FUT from the amazing Dr. Konior

That middle pic (with the blue background) is so similar to my forward-combing days (specifically, that nearly bald patch right above the hanging, wavy locks on your forehead)! When I was at that point, I didn't know whether to comb forward or to comb backward.. it was a NO-WIN situation then. I'd just pile on the Toppik and try to fool myself into believing that it ain't that bad. But now, comb forward, comb backward, no hair day is a bad hair day! I checked out your photos-- you have a nice pic where it's even combed to the side! Its like when people say "any day above ground is a good day" -- that's how I feel now that I got my hair back.. and I'm sure you feel that way too brother! I'm glad you like the community.. I hope you continue to post and support others who have yet to see the light. -
very nice. I'd also like to know how you determined that he needed vitamin "F" supplements?

makes sense.. looks very good

Agreed! my thoughts are that w/ 1400 you could probably have a good cosmetic result but you may need a second procedure down the line. The deal with the ARTAS discount you're getting-- sounds a little risky. Does anyone have experience with such a discount for the physician being trained for ARTAS? What was the result? Please keep us posted with what you decide to do.
