Transhair

Not really. The extra 10% will grow out but another 10% will fall out at the same time. It won't grow exactly over the extracted follicle either, and if it was close enough to be touching it could have been transected and killed.

I've got Konior and Gabel at the top of my list so far, but for my last surgery I'm really just looking for a scar repair rather than a transplant, with any grafts taken just being a bonus to touch up the worst areas. Are the top docs for scar excision and healing pretty much just the same best doctors anyway? Like Konior, Gabel, H&W, Shapiro and so forth?

Honestly I'm just trying to retrace my steps to see where my HT went wrong and while we all know that they're safe from dislodging at around 10 days, what's the point where using a more stressful shampoo such as Nizoral, T gel or something antiseptic like hibiscrub, betadine, triclosam and whatever else there is couldn't harm grafts? Just asking because while it was with doctors permision I feel as though hibiscrub shampoo may be a reason for the lack of growth, even though I used it at 20 days post op. I also never really had any scabbing at all, which seems weird compared to a lot of people here

It looks like a lot of your grafts are in existing hair so it'll help a lot. I think it'd allow for a sense result with a natural fade into a hairline. If your hairline is see through it probably won't be for too far in.

I feel as though a lot of it just comes from you having very coarse and thick donor hair. There's a couple of 2 hair grafts at the front but even those don't seem like they ruin it. I guess just do a small nape hair transplant if you have enough of it

I regret not going to Konior, does that count?

Most of those academies are pretty meaningless and only exist to make your resume look good to unknowing patients. His diploma is probably just a piece of paper that he payed for more than anything. Not knowing who the teaching surgeon is pretty important too. Anyway don't go to him

The scar was from forehead recontouring rather than a lift or advance. The hairline was the same height as the first surgery and it's probably 0.5cm lower now from the grafts to cover it a bit. My FUT scar is a full cm wide and even a bit more in some places, so I need to repair it but I don't want to get another hair transplant outside of the few grafts that happen to come out with the scar removal. I take cypro for testosterone blockers, dutasteride, estrogen and monthly progesterone cycles so I've done everything I can hormone wise to stop the loss. Also trying out once a day rogaine to see if it does anything with the vellus hairs throughout my recipient

Hope it goes well. How do you feel about your donor density after 4000 grafts? Does it still seem thick or kind of thin?

Looking forward to seeing the result due to it being an australian surgeon. Hair help is basically a scam though, If I remember right dr mwamba tried it for a bit and dropped it straight away, you'd basically get the same result from body building protein and v8 juice. If I can also ask, did dr martinick or dr kotai do most of the surgery?

I've decided to just leave my last hair transplant to only be a donor scar repair and to mainly focus on fixing my recipient with SMP, since it now has enough hair to look normal unless looking close towards the scalp or under harsh lights, id figure it could be enough. So if just like to know if there's any Australians with experience with it here or if I'd be much better off flying to Shapiro medical or something instead?

So a year and 2 months out of my transplant, I've noticed that a lot of the hairs that grew are still very coarse, with and don't match my normal charactistics. Anyone else have an issue with this?

Had 2 hair transplants, first was meant to be 72FU/cm second was meant to be 38FU/cm and I still have a quite a few vellus hairs within the recipient despite so many incisions.

So I've been using Minox foam 5% once a day for a bit over 2 weeks now and just today I've noticed about 300 hairs falling out, some of them in more like small clumps. I'm only applying to it 2 small spots on my hairline, but the shed is happening all over my head still. I wasn't expecting to shed much at all due to being on Dutasteride, cypro and estrogen for about 4 years, but it seems like I'm still not immune to the shed still. For anyone with experience, how long did you noticed the initial shed for? Thanks

Just curious but have you ever tried any of the hairloss medications? Women seem to respond better to them to they could make a good combination with the surgery to provide an even more full result. Spiro and regaine could probably give some density back and reduce the amount of grafts needed if its actually androgenic alopecia. If you have a 3 month waiting time just for a consult, it couldn't hurt to try.

I was looking at myself in the mirror and noticed that when I raise my eyebrows in a high exaggerate surprised look, it actually affects and moves my hair maybe 2 cm into my hairline. Made me curious as to if this can dislodge grafts for the people who get low transplants, as it's moving the skin that they're embedded in.

It might just be the way they took the grafts taking more density from the bottom rather than the top.

I think patient psyiology is definitely something to consider, though I don't know how common it really is. I also imagine that psyiology would have issues like excess scar tissue in the recipient, or aggressive inflammation for an extended period of time. From my experience, my hair transplant looked clean, I never bleed a single time at all post op and during my check up at 7 days was told that it looks good and to enjoy hair growth, yet it never really happened.

Just having random thoughts and I'm wondering if FUT would raise the nape/hair on the back of your head higher? Like it's cutting and stretching back together, so it could be assumed that the nape could be stretched higher a bit.

The hope is that the finasteride stops your hair from falling out in the future. Aso I believe your first hair transplant had fairly poor growth, or maybe killed a fair few of the original hairs, so you haven't had the full benefit of the 3800 grafts. Hair transplants are also more of an illusion rather than fully density, so styled hair will always look better than having it uncombed and facing in a bunch of different directions

It looks really good, I don't think you should risk thinning out the donor for what would be an overall small improvement

Outside of the line at the front, I don't believe so. The original hair transplant was about 72FU/cm transplanted, so it wouldn't have been 100% virgin scalp, but it didn't have any noticeable scar texture/discoloration over the original recipient. The growth issue is also all of the areas behind the scar, in the areas of my previous transplant, not so much in front of it.

So Dr Baubac seems pretty ok and 'legit', but why go to a surgeon who recommends kind of unorthodox methods? Going to a better quality non Hollywood surgeon is likely cheaper as well. The entire reason my first hair transplant was a bust was probably because the surgeon decided it was reasonable to transplant 72FU/cm on me, so as someone who was screwed over by a dense pack, I'd say don't do it, go to a more reasonable surgeon instead and just get a small second surgery to bump the density up if you're unhappy with it. Recovery is only like 10 days for FUE anyways. Also adding that despite all my suspicions about the quality of my second surgery, LGBT discrimination isn't one of them. I'll probably fully explain all of my doubts at the 'final result'.

What they're galling grafts is probably actually just hairs per cm2. In other words, they're dishonest, don't go to them. Also what is a 'celebrity'. Just because they claim to be a big Hollywood clinic doesn't mean they secretly fixed Ariana Grande's bald spot.

It's $100 in Australia, you Americans have expensive drug prices, is it because you're expected to have insurance to cover it? Funnily enough, Brand name Dutasteride is cheaper than generic finasteride here.
