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.

Everyone and their mother has tried to persuade me out of getting a hair transplant in Mexico, but it’s affordable and I read/write/speak Spanish. Even folks on The Bald Truth and other popular Youtubers warn about going to Mexico for cosmetic surgeries and they all repeatedly recite, “you get what you pay for”. Although I find it odd that none of their surgeons are board certified, I’ve seen some life changing results from Dr. Nader and Dr. Gaston De La Garza. Honestly if I could afford a $20,000 hairline from Dr. Craig Ziering in Hollywood, I wouldn’t think twice.

So, is there some kind of prejudice within the hairloss community or are there more instances of botched FUT surgeries that I just haven’t seen?

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.

The most common reasons for hair loss are an abnormal hair growth cycle, gray hair, damaged follicle, hormonal imbalance and dandruff. Except for the hormonal imbalance, Chemical hair care products majorly harm the hair in the long run. The regular use and application of natural, organic hair care products is the only long term solution for the crowning glory

 

Vedaya offers a range of hair care products to prevent hair loss, increase hair growth and treat scalp infections and dandruff.

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?

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.

Be patient, your donor looks fine to the naked eye.

Im more worried about cancer lol there are other things for ed but i doubt that will happen to me. 

 

 

 

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.

I'm not under 40. Lol although sans my head you would never know. I wish I did this as soon as this started. Ya live and ya learn I guess. 

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.

Yeah, a few other people were speculating the same in the other threads, that your hairloss will eventually catch up with you, no matter how much you manage to slow it with meds.

Sad if true, but we can still hope.

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

I started Finesteride today. 1 mg.  Here's to not getting side effects and growing hair back!!! 

Most side effects are all in your head, especially if you're under 40.

Yes mate, I'd been on Propecia for a similar period of time. Was convinced I was noticing excessive shedding from around Sept last year, which never seemed to slow. So I switched to Dutasteride in March earlier this year, been on the drug for approaching 6 months now.

To be honest, I've not noticed any change in shedding since moving to the new meds, but it's still early days. It's so hard to tell with my hair. But ultimately yes, I raised the same question as you a while ago, and most people seem to think it will likely lose its effecitiveness over time.

However, I will add that I personally felt branded Propecia worked better for me than generic - I seemed to notice more shedding when I switched to generic, so always stuck with branded after that.

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.

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.

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.
