Hi Confidence,

At day 13, the grafts should be fully anchored. At this point, you can't really dislodge or harm them; especially if you aren't using any sort of direct attachment to the scalp. I would follow your doctor's post-operative advice closely.

Good luck!

Chaos,

Though it is tempting, most advise against "price shopping" for hair transplant surgery. In some cases, it results in sub-par work; and when this happens, it is almost always MORE expensive in the end. I'm not saying to completely discount cost, but a single quality procedure with a trusted doctor will likely be most efficient -with respect to both cost and use of your finite grafts - in the end. I'm very familiar with Dr. Arocha's FUE work. From what I've seen presented on the forums, he's excellent.

Good luck! Feel free to ask any additional questions.

Hi Cajun,

It is difficult to answer based on these images alone. Medications, like finasteride (Propecia) and minoxidil (Rogaine), will likely help you stabilize your progressive hair loss - especially in the crown and mid-scalp regions - but won't do as much for actual regrowth. Hair transplantation may be an option; however, you will need to consult with a hair restoration physician (http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Consult-a-Physician/hair-loss-doctors.asp) to know for sure.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Hi BMW,

I recommend the following: speak with the prescribing physician about restarting the medication; then ask your hair restoration physician if he/she thinks restarting the medication could affect your results. Medication questions are always best suited for physicians.

Good luck!

Hi Zingo,

Haven't heard of this doctor. Have you consulted with Dr. Doganay or Dr. Erdogan?

David,

I think you are referring to Follicular Unit Extraction or FUE. This procedure can be performed with the ARTAS device. In Turkey, we recommend Dr. Erdogan and Dr. Doganay.

Good luck.
