Transhair

I doubt that Doxycycline would cause excessive shedding, if any. When I took it my pimples were gone in like 3 days, maybe also take a swap of it for pathology or something? Also can grafts even be damaged at 3 months?

As long as you dedicate yourself to medications and ensure that your recession has stopped, you can never be too young for a transplant, especially if you're willing to be conservative enough.

Just do this to the first customer you see at work: Nobody will think the redness was from a transplant afterwards. Really though, you don't seem to have a lot of hair at the front, so it'd be pretty hard to hide for a while. Maybe ask your surgeon when it's ok to use makeup on your scalp?

So, I recently had a phone consult with Dr Shapiro, and during the consult he very highly recommended Dr Knudsen, even describing him as a preferable option over travelling overseas. So I'm just curious if anyone has seen him recently? Definitely consulting with him due to the recommendation, as it'd be great to have someone see me in person to discuss my options over someone just looking at my photos. Definitely more looking for surgery overseas for the very best surgeon possible, but opinions on him could be nice.

That looks like quite a bit more than a 2cm lowering, almost like 4-6cm in some places and would take a huge amount of grafts to get it at a full looking density. You also have very visible thinning going into the corners of your hairline which would require even more grafts. Basically, whatever price/graft/etc expectations you had, you're probably better off doubling them. And without medications, you're going to recede further. You weren't born with this hairline, it's definitely MPB. Consult with Feller or Bernstein clinics in New York, as they're both respected coalition surgeons and a good place to start. As for your $8000 price limit, you're definitely not going to afford the amount of grafts you need, especially in New York. The closest affordable option for you would be Rahal in Ottawa. Also I've drawn a line to show just how far your thinning seems to go back.

Mine's still red at 8 months. Bathroom lighting seems to aggravate it Seen 3 GPs, a hair transplant surgeon and none of them said anything looked wrong with it outside of the redness. Still seeing a local derm after the huge waiting list.

Look up the Brazilian Facial Team clinic if it's nearby. The Spanish version has Teresa Meyer as their surgeon, so id imagine that the Brazilian one uses a high quality surgeon too

Contact your surgeon, or see a doctor in person. in the off chance that it's caused by infection or something. For the most part you just want to keep the scalp healthy so it heals well on its own, keep it moisturized and clean let it do the best job it can. Doing this with products with anti inflammatory properties like aloe vera are popular here.

50% density is sort of what hair transplants aim to achieve, so I meant it doesn't really look thin compared to most transplants. You had a huge amount of triples, which should look petty dense. You'd need to know the surface area of the recipient to guess exact density numbers though

It looks mostly what I'd expect as 40-50% density, so I imagine it'll look fine. It'll look thicker when it grows as the super short shaved style is pretty unflattering

So, in my quest for the best, my list of who to see is kind of everchanging, but I think I've got it down to the absolute best for my case and just want opinions on any of the surgeon's if anyone has experience with them? I've sent pictures and applied for a consult with half of them and am getting to the rest. All of them seem right at the top, with all having a lot of repair experience and being the very best at the surgery, just kind of listing them and my current thoughts on my research of each one. Konior - Amazing hair transplant surgeons. Used to be one of the better FFS surgeons so his scar closures are probably the best of the bunch, I also have a forehead FFS scar, so yeah. He seems to want to do more of an exclusive FUE with a scar repair instead of all FUT, which is understandable. His FUE is crazy expensive and I don't quite know how he compares to the European FUE specialists. Wong - The consult I received was from doctor Wong, rather than Hasson. I know he's an amazing surgeon, but is he equally as amazing as Hasson? Ron/Paul Shapiro - Also super high quality and seems to be the most skilled in a variety of different methods and techniques rather than just one, which seems pretty good for someone who's at a worst case scenario. Gabel - Apparent transgender experience is probably helpful, also seems really dedicated and does a lot of the implantations himself. Bisanga - Seems to be the best FUE surgeon, Lorenzo seems great, but Bisanga has an explanation of how to handle repairs on his site, which makes me want to put him at the top for FUE. So yeah, if anyone has any opinions or a suggestion of a surgeon to look into, it'd be great, thanks.

Could be growth, could also be the hair looking longer as it slides out of the follicle in the shedding process.

I want to give Dermatch a shot, but the Australian website looks so cheap and outdated that it wouldn't surprise me if it was fake. Also only had 4 colours, which seems odd.

The only techs that do the implantation are the ones with like 15 years of experience right? I guess you could also give temporary SMP a shot to see if it adds to the density appearance. Also, change to beer instead, the estrogens will help your hair, lol.

You can, but you have to remember that you'd end up with visible dot scarring on your forehead

Do you know if you had them distributed evenly? It might be 45 in the front and 25 in the back, which would lead to it looking thinner. Either way you've had a fairly low density transplanted, so you'll need full maturation to really have much of a visual effect on top of growth.

I've seen some complaints about the grafts looking like they were placed in a 'stadium seating' formation before, so I imagine that some degree of randomness is best. You'd be better of asking any doctors you consult with about their preferences, though

Looks like his donor area is even going thin

Well I guess all that vodka would probably act as an antiseptic agent and prevent any infections from happening, so thats... healthy.

There's one very good result from him on this site when googling him. Definitely at least consult with him, he seems to have good training and some form of relationship with a bunch of top doctors. http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/183378-1652-fue-grafts-dr-laorwong-absolute-hair-clinic-bangkok.html

I'd say you're much too far last the point for using fibres. I've seen some amazing results with dermatch somehow with heads balder an yours, so who knows though. Have you ever tried minoxodil? You still have a reasonable amount of alive hairs I'm the middle,of yor scalp.

So, 8 months post op and one area of my recipient is still quite pink, can this be caused due to previous damage of the skin from a first transplant. Maybe estrogen and etc makes redness stay longer in female transplants? I can see one result on Koniors website in which the recipient still looks very pink at 6 months. Also a male feriduni patient who looks kind of pink at 8 months, called 'fueblog' Seen like 3 GPs, one native surgeon and will be seeing a dermatologist in November (waiting lists), but so far no one has mentioned that anything looks particularly wrong. Will also say that it looks VERY pink compared to my normal scalp, but only slightly pink compared to my normal forehead skin, as seeing a lot of hair transplants, the skin seems to retain the normal skin colour rather than the extremely pale scalp colour

Was this surgeon either Dr Aharonov or Dr Meyer? Don't know much about the first, but if it's Dr Meyer, he's pretty terrible.

A so so surgeon could cause excess recipient scarring, excess donor scarring and kill hairs in both areas, leaving you worse off than before.

A website called hairtransplantgeeks gave them a positive review, but it reads very much like an advertisement. I'd put in a bit more research, Thailand has great surgeons in every field, as well as some of the worst back alley butchers as well, so unless you can find a bunch of positive reviews backed up with photos (Or even better, real people), I'd avoid them. Also a random thing I've noticed, but most good/popular Thai surgeons now charge fairly standard international prices (Dr Path is like the same price as Rahal, I've noticed), similar to what it costs in Europe and Canada. So unless they charge a different price for Thais, I'd be very wary of a 'cheap' Thai surgeon. THT/Dr Pong is an option if you can travel.
