    The main concern with going for medical tourism outside of the west is accountability of doctors to medical boards and the ability to pursue legal action if something goes awry and needs rectifying. Something to consider.

    You should think twice, he's not a top-tier doctor, but a well-advertised hair mill. He's a sexy Bosely, please never consider such a place, he has a hair mill pedigree.

    Had hair loss similar to yours, was happy with Dr. Gabel for the frontal third and hairline reconstruction. I don't hesitate to recommend he be on your short list.

    Are you experiencing a harsh breakout in the countdown to surgery? Make sure you communicate this concern to your physician.

    I have Sd, didn't affect the outcome of my procedure. Your physician will take note of it and if it has the potential to be an obstacle.

    Would be curious to see follow up, repair work is always tricky, but at least you went to a good doc.

    Can you please post some pictures.

    Don't despair, hair transplanted between existing hair can sometimes receive temporary shock loss from the trauma while the body heals, it will re-emerge and grow in your natural hair cycle.

    Always try the non-surgical treatments first, never wait until after surgery to try out finasteride.

    Now's the fun part where with each passing month the density subtly increases until the final result unfurls.

    Sounds like a seasonal shed, certain times of year you can shed more than others, and it can make transplanted areas appear thinner.

    Spam alert.

    Transplanted hair has an effect on hair it's planted in between, that's where shock loss tends to occur if at all. But hair transplanted into bare scalp next to hair tends not to experience much if any shock loss. Every person's physiology reacts uniquely to the trauma of surgery, but generally speaking, shock loss is only a concern when lots of grafts are being packed between healthy growing hair.

    Need more before and after pics for fair contrast of what we're looking at. It's hard to see any transformation in the posted pictures at this time.

    Hard to say without reference, that frontal tuft looks like it might be thinning. Have you spoken with a dermatologist or primary care physician about possibly taking finasteride?
  16. Speegs
    No, on the day of surgery they shave the donor area but that is closed and covered by your hair after the strip is surgically removed by your physician.
  17. Speegs
    Be patient, your donor looks fine to the naked eye.

    Finasteride actually started out as a male prostate drug, used to shrink enlarged prostates and possibly prevent prostate cancer, a happy by-product discovered was that the lowering of DHT in the bod helped prevent hair loss in a number of patients. So if anything your prostate may be benefiting as well as your hair.

    What I mean is that most men that report sexual dysfunction while on finasteride are in an age group where the possibility of erectile dysfunction is possible in the general population and they falsely assign blame to finasteride. Under 40 people aren't susceptible to ED so much, and when it does occur in that age group it is usually psychological in origin.

    There's some dignity in thinning some with age, whereas MPB is typically a fast and often premature indignation.

    Most side effects are all in your head, especially if you're under 40.
  22. Speegs
    You can also start cutting the generics in half or thirds to up the dosage a little bit. I sort of started that just out of laziness, may be one reason my efficacy seems to be unaltered after 13 years.
  23. Speegs
    Reputable people on your short list should include Gabel, Konior and Cooley, all elite and good with FUE and hairlines. All of the above have differing price ranges, but the price shouldn't be your chief concern, quality and expertise should be, a bad HT is worse than being bald in most cases, so do your homework. I'd start by investigating the three names mentioned above.
  24. Speegs
    Finasteride is effective for most men, be patient with it, give it at least six months, take pictures every month to see if thinning has stopped. I've been on it since I was 21 and am now 34, still works.

    Protecting your scalp from sun damage at all times is advisable, you probably wouldn't impact the grafts at this late stage, but a sunburned scalp, in general, is not good for you.
