This is rather peculiar as there didn't seem to be any native hairs in ur frontal 3rd to lose to future hairloss judging by ur pre-op photos. It does appear you are lose transplanted hair but for that to happen they would have to have been taken from outside the safe zone which I don't think was an issue for you. A stab in the dark from me would be dense packing 4,000 grafts into a frontal 3rd might be a bit harsh on the scalp and also all done in one day?? U are best contact the clinic. Perhaps a more experienced member than me may shed some more light on it the possible cause. I'm disappointed for u mate

apparently it was the Glasgow clinic same place as james mcfadden got done

Again i see KO is beating the "get on fin or you are doomed" drum. I'm wondering if he works for Merck every response he has involves get on FIN

Every post that you contribute seems to involve you saying more or less "go on FIN, or forget HT" I'm wondering why you are so hell bent on forcing it down everyone's throat. just an observation. peace

ya you see here's my problem I'm booked for surgery in 3weeks for 2500 FUE grafts at a cost of €7200 and the same procedure if I went to van Eeden based on ur prices would cost €14,250

Haircules could you tell us Wat he charges per graft please? Collins is €10 a graft which us shocking

Best of luck dolph you have taken the plunge

cheers mate. Much appreciated. I'm thinkin of documenting my progress, not sure yet but I wouldn't have any knowledge whatsoever if it weren't for all the other cases which were documented for my benefit. Might be my turn to give something back ?

Appreciate the advice guys. Love the debate between KO and HTsoon as it always is with FIN it is controversial. I appreciate both opinions but must say HTsoon is very close to my own situation so it is nice to see there is some hope for us NW5/6 and it might not all be doom and gloom with the right game plan

no I didn't think you were pushing FIN at all I asked for opinions and you relayed yours. What would be the point of coming on here asking a question and demanding that please only give me positive answers. Burying ones head in the sand will result in being in an even worse position in the long term than where you start. I think if a guy considers all the variables in the equation and prepares for what various outcomes might lie ahead then he will be more prepared to deal with them up the road. No point in I thinkin ya ill get this HT wit no FIN and ill be sorted for life. I need tactics and a long term plan.

Thanks for the advice guys after the surgery when all healed I think I will give RU a go and see how it works for me. FIN is a no go for me. even though many never get sides the potential for them is too much of a risk for me.

and I do appreciate your input KO thank you

A limp noodle for life ??? Very well put my friend. f**k that, the wife would kill me ? even taking a light dose scares me with the potential sides people mention

I appreciate the honesty magnum PI I wear my hair pretty short like a 3mm at the moment so even if I get the FUE and frame the face and and do frontal 3rd I could prob achieve a pretty decent look that way if/when my original hair bids fair well. Also maybe ill have to have a couple of procedures. I don't want to believe that without meds a HT is pointless

Wow biolizard that was pretty strong on the say no to fin argument ? which makes a pleasant change. Everyone here seems to be on it. Reversing a HT, recipient hair fue back into donor area?? The is something I have never heard of and I would have to ask why would you want to do that? Thanks for ur input also?

I'm 30. I don't want to use FIN. I'm not willing to risk it and it is very hard to obtain in ireland anyway. I'm not sure of my donor density that's why I presumed going with 2500 grafts would be conservative. I had surgeons recommend 5,000 +. I'm hoping that if my goals remain realistic that I won't be disappointed

thanks i will look into it. my doc says i have to go off minoxidil 3 weeks before the surgery so even if i did go with RU58841 then it would have to be after surgery when im all healed up, but from what iv just read it sounds promising

I'm more of a diffuse thinner I'm not actually fully bald anywhere but am heading that direction. My regime seems to have halted my loss and even grown some back in places.

You know ur films ? I'm getting 2500 grafts FUE

Hi all, must mention how great again I find this site for support and info. I have took the plunge and am booked in for my HT in 4 weeks. Iv been researching for 6months so I am well informed at this stage. Iv started feeling nervous these last few days. as much I am looking forward to the procedure I can't help but worry that it will all be in vain because I'm not on finestride. I am on minoxidil daily and nizoral lasercomb and herbal supplement but I'm realistic about what all that stuff can do opposed to fin. I'm heading towards a Norwood 5 and after a lot of debating mega sessions of 4000/5000 grafts etc I settled on a more conservative surgeons recommendation of 2500 grafts mostly likely hairline and frontal 3rd framing the face as the priority. Future loss is my massive worry and being left wit an island etc. Should I have thrown the towel in? Or am I right to give it a fight?

Thanks for the feedback guys. Voxman it is important if I want it to remain a secret if not then it wouldn't matter a dam. But if suddenly after 2 years I start growing my hair out after 10 days of been out of the country I will surely raise a few eyebrows ha

can it do any harm to the grafts at that point? I was hoping for maybe the 10-11 day mark before back to work what do you think? Bit too early ?

Hi could anyone tell me how long i will have to wait after my surgery to buzz cut my hair again. i keep my head shaved at the moment to cover my baldness and i want to be able to keep it shaved for 5/6 months after surgery till its ready to grow out. how soon can i shave it again after surgery does anyone know? please and thanks

I have searched both members by name and neither seems to be listed???

Thanks very much for the feedback I will definitely contact them. Many thanks hope you get great results!
