just a quick update on my situation. Like a year ago i stopped minoxidil 5% because i couldt really apply it on my skin anymore, and it was too much hustle ,since i had so much hair ( lol) . So i thought its just useless. Well guess what, i shedded like a motherfucker all year. I think it was all that tiny hair that never develop into thick one. so i lost them all. And now i go back on minoxidil. Moral of the story: Dont stop using fin and minox

I dont know how many grafts i have left. J think i can do one more op to fix vertex

Add .pictures

So, as it said . I had a HT and a bunch of gray hair from my sides were transplanted on top, front. So what i find out is that some of them after some time from gray became black again. I cant find any explanation to that in internet, so if anaone have any ideas, please share. Thank you

1st operation: october 2015 , 2nd : july 2017

donor area 1 cm long, after 5500 grafts removed

no you can't

thats how i look on average photo

i use finasteride for 5 years now. Now im thinking to get off of it and see what will happen. The reason why i want to do that is because i feel that my state of mind is too depressive, even tho nothing bad happens in my life. It could be my age ( 36) but i just tired of life and cant enjoy it anymore. Hard to tell what cause such way of feeling , Let you know later how it goes.

shampoo dont do anything. Its marketing bs. finasteride and minoxidil. Thats it

yes. Just wait a year and evaluate and go from there.

well lets do the math. Average density 80-120 hair per cm2. You have approximatly 100 cm2 covered with 3000 grafts thats 30 per cm2. Lets say survival rate at best :90 %, thats 27 grafts per cm2.. So for "close to normal" density you will need to do the same 3000 transplantation one more time. Thats more ot less

its normal. Also since you almost dont have vertex hairloss you will have a good result at the end. Plus you have a lot of grafts to go for a second operation if you would like more density. Just wait a year and go from there added: i also want to add that i think its not good to impant grafts very dense in one operation, i think it drops survival rate. If you want big density its better to split into 2-3.. etc operations.

i had 2 ops with this doctor. You can check my thread. Only thing that i can advise is just stop thinking about it. Its done. Just wait a year or so .

i dont know how many grafts i have. But whatever it is , its not much and i saved it for later. I was thinking about it, and thats why i went with only 1800 grafts last operation.
