Just goes to show you friend the FDA, like any government bureaucracy is not to be trusted unchecked, the FDA allows all sorts of garbage in our food and drugs. One reason our drugs are so expensive is because companies prepare for the inevitable litigation from side effects from drugs rushed into the market after limited trials, but they met FDA criteria just the same.

To be perfectly honest, in my opinion you can save 40k, since Armani s that preposterously overpriced and save your scalp from big time FUE scarring from the volume and either accept a shaved head or a adopt a hair system that is aesthetically pleasing, i think your expectation unfortunately cannot be met and you will be disappointed, risk much time and treasure and not be satisfied, possibly even scarred in an undesirable manner. I apologize for the lack of a silver lining but transplant is not appropriate for everybody, especially advanced hairloss.

I was in the norwood 3a range with a very receded hairline, that first picture shows the one week post op. I'm not calling the result a failure by any means, not here to lambast a doctor, just disappointed the journey isn't over and will need another expensive pass to complete.

Friend you roll the dice buying drugs on-line. It's best to get a membership at either walmart or walgreens and pay 10 to 13 bucks for every refill of an American brand of generic such as Teva.

Well, it's been about a year and the final result is pretty much in, it's a good improvement over the norwood 3a it was pre-op but not yet a full restoration which is a bummer. Temple density is just terrorized by sunlight and the hairline can succumb to scrutiny in bad light too. It's not a bad job but it's an incomplete one density wise. There is no flash in there pictures and the lighting is indoor and not natural light, soft in nature from bathroom fixtures.

Sucks don't it, get on finasteride, try to get comfortable with short hair and if still not comfortable with it we'll see ya back around your 25th birthday when it is concrete clear your baldness pattern and how well you respond to medication. I advise you wait till 25 to pull the trigger on transplantation, plus cloning might come to pass in the next seven years. I waited till 26 to get a transplant, I'm 27 now, and going to get a touch up soon I think to complete the restoration. But I started losing my hair at 19 and got on finasteride at 22, advance to a norwood 3a hairloss, hated it, looked 35 at 19 through 26. No problem being 35 but i want to look 35 when I'm 35.

Well, I do look better, I am happy with the hairline but I am a little concerned about some of the density in the temples where harsh light is extremely cruel as are some hair styles at this point. i hope that it thickens up but at the ten month mark i'm a little skeptical if it will or not. Thoughts? First four are ten month mark, first two are one from one week post op.

i just hit 8 months myself, density is now the waiting game, especially in my left temple.

My experience the American generic finasteride made by the company Teva is trustworthy and carried by Walgreens pharmacy at 12.99 for 30 pills for those with a 20 dollar membership. Makes it very cheap otherwise i was still paying 80 bucks for it because my insurance refused to cover it because at 27 they deem me using it cosmetically and not for prostate.

Personally i think you need a list of five and Epstein should not be on it. In New York Feller is the most acclaimed, Bernstein is acceptable. On the East Coast Cooley and Lindsey are also recommended. In Canada Hasson and Wong are the best up North. Out west Scott Alexander is probably the best, Gabel is gaining recommendations. Personally this represents the pool of doctors I could stake my personal integrity on recommending with any authority.

I do business there occasionally, that's why i asked.

Sounds like another reason to be on finsasteride, i wonder if premature hair loss isn't the body's way of alerting the system that the prostate needs to be monitored for excess DHT.

I don't know how long it takes to recover from a chemo shed but i'd say in six months if there isn't noteworthy improvement you can go to a dermatologist and get on finasteride (propecia).

Do you live in Santa Barbara?

This article is behind, i don't know why people still talk about embryonic stem cells when it's been proven adult stem cells achieve every single thing an embryonic stem cell can without wading into controversial bio-ethic waters.

In my opinion we kid ourselves if we don't honestly attribute personal vanity to being a partial inspiration to get hair restoration, at the same time however it is equally vain to assume that undergoing a restoration is beneath you, a catch 22 in the vanity department. Hair or no hair you are vain.

He's open about, says he wish he had a bigger procedure, he had it done by Dr. fellor who he also did a fellowship with when he left general surgery and cardio surgery and went into private practice as a hair restoration physician. I think of Alexander as Feller's former pupil, current peer, they do comparable work, Alexander is a little less expensive.

i must be a testosterone filled beast, i take half 5mg generic proscar a day and am quite shall we, um excitable.

Well there's growth, density leaves much to be desired but there's still time to go. Flash was on, couldn't get it to stay off.

14 was middle age 10,000 years ago, so i'd say the diet has gotten better. if there wer less people that were bald back then it's because you were old by 30. Lest we forget as recent as 1900 the average American could expect to live to be 45 at most, that's right, at the dawn of the 20th Century 45 years was the top life expectancy.

Friend, I hate to break it to you but movie stars wear hair pieces. Marlon Brando balded early, you can see it happening in "On the Waterfront", James Dean was 24 at death and that hairline was steadily creeping back, John Wayne wore a toupee since forever, as did Humphrey Bogart, Jimmy Stewart and Charlton Heston. When Fred Astaire auditioned in the 1920s to leave his Vaudville act and come perform in film the talent scout wrote simply on his sheet about the 21 year old : "Can't act, can't sing, balding, awkward looking, can dance a little" Astaire would adopt a toupe for film roles but chose not to wear one in private.

Hairlines are important, just look at bad plug jobs in Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer, they're bald behind their frontal hair plugs but still you see their bad hair plugs ahead of their baldness. Think how good a well done transplant can look in compare.

red flags galore, especially for that outrageous price. i don't think umar is a hack but he is second tier for certain.

On drugs potentially never, but aging takes hair out of almost everyone, but assuming drugs work you can hold on to the back in at least a thinning capacity well into mid-life.
