thanks, hopefully some updated crown pics soon

some immediate post ops for you, im sure Dr Bloxham has some better ones

So i just wanted to update everyone on this post. I had the Surgery on Sept 15th 2017 with Dr Bloxham. I couldnt be any more thrilled with him and his staff, everything went exceptional and communication was as good as can be. My original pics are in the first post of this thread, the pictures im uploading here are at 5.5 months in (although my hair pretty much looked like this at 4 months as well. This was an FUT i think 1400 crown 1400 hairline if im not mistaken. Any questions let me know

Correct. Fut

Lol I hear you there. Yes both. Dr Bloxham is estimating close to 1500 the hairline and 1500 more placed strategically in the crown

thanks for words, ill definitely share it here!

awesome...dont worry ill keep the thread alive when the time comes

good to hear! he seems great, looking forward to the end of summer

Ill try to keep up to date with this thread as much as i can. Ive had crown loss for a few years but it never bothered me to the point of a transplant...but now that i see my hairline going i figured it was time. It bothers me more than anything. We've been consulting over email for months. Between our correspondence and the contributions and videos hes made here i feel this is the right decision My only issue and worry is the hairline loss especially in the front seems like its progressing by the week, its definitely not stabilized, but i know ill probably have more than 1 surgery anyway. Pics are attached, dont laugh at my tail, havent had a haircut in 2 weeks Age: 34 in June Father Norwood 6/7 Finasteride for 2-3 years. (1.5 proscar) Obviously the way i style my hair i can mask most of the hairline (for now)

Yeah same, but i was told brand name might help because of the way the active ingredients are. im gonna try to call again tomorrow, i want 100% of the effect if i can get it

exactly, maybe i should call dermo and tell them to fix it, itll probably be more than 75 a month though

im taking generic 5mg finasteride (proscar), yeah its like 9 bucks for 90 pills with insurance. now today i got merck sent to the pharmacy and they called and said 75 for 30 pills and it wasnt even merck it was generic propecia 1mg

IVe been cutting 5mg generic proscar into 1.25 for years but i was advised by a couple people to take the real merck propecia 1mg instead. I went to the dermo and they sent it to my pharmacy and it was $75 for 1 month and it wasnt even merck it was accord pharmacies?? What should i do? I was paying 5 bucks for the 5mg finasteride so im not going to pay 75 for another generic 1mg Thanks

Wow. Heap of information there... I figured same active ingredient is the same thing... I'll call Dermo tomorrow to have the med changed to brand name Propecia..... As for the hairline.. It's definitely taking some kind of hit but I agree the crown is worse.... Thanks for all the great information and comments

Oh absolutely, i will address both the first time, i was just saying the crown is what made me take this route thanks for the advice!
