Nice to see someone older in my age range checking out transplant. Most of these forum posts seem to be people in their late 20's to 30's. I assume our older age drawback is the slower growth and healing time. Our advantage is the hair loss pattern is more set and wondering what other advantages and disadvantages we have at older age for hair transplant?

It looks like you have fair skin which usually takes longer to get rid of the redness in the transplant area. How red does it look now?

I am also considering him or Dr Vogel in Maryland and also would like additional feedback. Dr Lindsey posts alot of his positive results in another forum: https://www.baldtruthtalk.com/forums/16-Hair-Transplant-Results-By-IAHRS-Recommended-Surgeons

How long can they be without blood supply?

Interesting because your pictures (Hair Restoration Social Network - Hair Loss and Transplant Photos) look great. Do you have fair skin? I heard that takes longer but never heard it to be years. I have fair skin and your post gives me good feedback on the post op challenges if I decide to do my first HT.

Is this normal where someone can do more than one FUE assuming they are under 3000 grafts? Also another positive to FUE is less pain & numbness compared to FUT?

It sounds like the questions I need to ask are: 1 -who does the anesthesia 2 -harvesting from donor 3 - slit making in recipient 4 - implants of grafts in recipient 5 - is HT the Doctor's full time work or do they do other plastic surgery Please let me know of other questions to ask because I am going to schedule appointments with 2 Doctors very soon. Thanks

I am thinking of visiting Dr Vogel. Can you provide latest pictures?

Does anyone have experience with DC Maryland Virginia HT Doctors that they can recommend?

Is it normal for the Doctor's assistant/support to put in alot of the FUE hairs if getting over a 1,000 transplant? I would assume that is a lot of manual labor and the Doctor doesn't do all the 1,000 or more transplants. Does the Doctor stay in the area and provide guidance and oversee the entire manual labor?

I have only used Toppik. What are some scalp concealers you recommend?

I am in same situation between Dr Lindsey and Dr Vogel. Can you tell me more about each from your research?

I am considering HT and one drawback is the post op appearance and reactions. Please advise if Toppik or any concealer will damage transplant after the first 10 days or even up to 60 days?

Can you advise your age? I was wondering because not many posts on this site from people over 50.

I have been doing alot of research to see if at my age of 52 with very fair skin should consider HT for Norwood 3V moving to 4V scale. I prefer to not cut my hair before so I can "hide" the right after surgery looks that includes post op redness that will probably last 6 months or more for pale fair skin. Please advise if that is a common practice or does it effect the end result?
