  1. I'd say upwards of 5,000 and would recommend 2 FUE procedures. And moving forward to buzz the sides and back of your head. If you decide to invest in that route do heavy research on Docs to guarantee effectiveness. I personally had 2200 first time and will be going back for 2nd procedure with same Doc so it worked out very well. :-)
  2. I'm West Coast, but being that this is may be one the biggest investments you make in your life (was for me) I'd have to recommend who I went with Dr. Mohebi. I think the $400 round trip plane ticket is well worth the investment and considering it's Los Angeles, you won't be bored.
  3. 2200 was done. And yea, that's 1 thing I love about them they're genuine and of course you'll get great results but you feel super comfortable too. ps- sorry for late reply..
  4. If you're getting a small section, easy to get to, seems fine. But I'd go for every advantage you can score.. I was aiming for over 2k grafts and hit 2200. Even though my Doc was the best something tells me wouldn't of as a stellar job if it wasn't shaved.
  5. Did a little research, overall pretty solid list, but if you're aiming for USA! I have to be shameless and recommend the Doc I went with because my I'm beyond grateful for my experience and results. *Drum Roll*....... Dr. Mohebi
  6. I'm sure the scar with diminish but I'm not sure why you didn't go with FUE to be certain. I know it's a little more but the whole point of this investment was to protect your image... I had 2200 grafts via FUE no prob, I would've jumped for the chance if I'd only needed 1600.
  7. I think the question is more so how long/ often to wash your after a transplant anyways? In general, I've washed my hair way less since being conscious of my MPB. And if I recall, I waited a week just to gently wash my hair after I had my transplant. But consult a few Docs to be sure!
  8. For shorter hair styles, I highly recommend getting a fade (like at 1 or .5) and trim the top. The reason being is because if you're not completely full yet on the top then you wouldn't want your sides to be longer than your top! Here's a link for reference: BAM!
  9. I think that combination of things besides FUE and Propecia may or may not contribute to 1-5% range of effectiveness. Just doesn't seem like a good ROI for all the additional time and money you'll commit. I stick with the 2 I named and well.. Best Investment Ever.
  10. In my unprofessional opinion it doesn't sound realistic, but I'd consult a Doctor on this one.
  11. Yes. Please post link, I'd love to read further into this :-)
  12. If you wanna take a trip to US. I'd suggest Dr. Mohebi in LA, certainly wouldn't be a boring place to hang. And the offer finance options! Good luck.
  13. It was just "noticeable" for a few days with me, so that's what I'd predict. Well with a good surgeon.. After that, YOU can slightly notice, but no one else will. Beauty of FUE :-)
  14. Hey Bro, I'm not Asian but I'm 27 and love anime! So I did FUE surgery in Los Angeles with Dr. Mohebi. Did a full year of researching in advance. The results have been phenomenal.
  15. I agree with the soccer fan, and I'm speaking as a person whose had a successful procedure and seen results. I'm sure soon enough progress will be made, but until you start seeing it massively advertised and discussed in these forums be ware.
  16. I felt an obligation to look at this page because I'm from Edison, NJ. ha Never found a legit surgeon in my area. Live in Los Angeles now, for those of you willing to pay an extra $400 for a round trip ticket to Cali, I recommend you look into Dr. Mohebi.
  17. Snake Oil x10000..... The only legit solutions as of now: Loss Prevention: finasteride (more permanent) minoxidil (great short-term. not so much in a few years, in my experience) Hair Gains: FUT or FUE Transplant from a REPUTABLE doctor. I went with FUE. (no scar) Beyond effective. Life changing decision, in the right direction.
  18. Was initially gonna say 1,000 grafts. But the corner looks heavily needed, so making me lean upwards to 1,500 for a healthy result.
  19. It's hard to tell because you lift it up. And glad to hear Dr. Feller isn't against FUE. It worked out great for me. :-)
  20. Hey! I think under 500 grafts is plenty. This is a cool situation you're in because it should cost you 1/5 the price of the average hair surgery, so I'd spare no expense when it comes to finding the right Doctor. Since it's you're own hair they'll be extracting and re-putting in it will blend fine.
  21. 3,000 seems about right but because it's already shaved it's hard to tell how much is needed in the middle. I'd say the best bet is to go to several more surgeons so you can find a median number.
  22. I'd go with loosely fitted hat. Whatever you do, make sure to avoid sun (I walked around with Umbrella) and avoid irritating protection on it. It's just not worth it. I'd rather have it exposed.
  23. I can only speak as a young person, not a female. :-) I had a successful FUE surgery at 25. The place most of the focus was on.. front hair line FUE - Is the only way to go, forget the KO response. lol It's safer, no scar, fast heal time. And because you don't have too much to focus on it won't be the most costly. I'd just say confirm with many Doctors if you're age is okay to have the procedure done because I recall overhearing it's best to wait until maybe 23.. But feel free to do your research. Keep us posted!
