  1. Don't think it's possible. Like Blake said the body would see it as some type of foreign invader and reject it .
  2. I originally was doing 1mg a day got sides so I quit. I cut the dose down to half .5mg 3 days a week let my body get use to it. I now take 1mg three days a week. My hair in the crown and vertex looks thicker and healthier than when I started.
  3. Problem with this drug is that there are no long term studies done on what it does to you. I started taking it everyday had massive sides. Every person I know in person other than one has had really bad sides so the reports are bs. I cut the dose way down and have no sides but who knows what this is really doing to us? I have also posted many times that without taking meds a transplant for many is like throwing a bag of money in a fireplace. I still believe this but who knows what the cost is? My doctor warned me there are certain companies that sell the generic that should be avoided. The FDA in the United States is a joke. How many commercials do you see daily where lawyers are suing drug companies for screwing people up bad? All I know is when I was doing this drug daily I was in total tunnel vision. I drove 25 miles past where I needed to go and could not figure where I was at. I would maybe expect this while drinking or doing crack but a hair loss drug? This scared the hell out of me . I had blood work done drug was really taking a toll on my kidneys. Since I cut the dose no sides had another blood panel done and fine but who knows? It's a personal decision each person needs to make.
  4. I just had an fut and it was not the horror story people say it is. You just need to find the right doctor. Someone that is class 6 should probably do fut to get the most grafts you can.
  5. My doctor gave me mupirocin and I am only one month out from surgery and my scar is no problem. I have a hard time feeling where my scar is or finding it in the mirror. But that speaks to how great Dr Cooley is. I am amazed at one month out how I have no pain or no problems with the scar.
  6. Rashid you are lucky Bisanga is ethical and honest. There are a ton of bad doctors out there that would simply have taken your money and left you with the bad result. I would trust him because he doesn't want to mess you up for the sake of money. Trust in his final decision in a year. Wish you the best.
  7. Obviously it is a hair piece too straight but who cares? If it makes him feel better who cares what others think he is 70 years old living his life. There are tons of former celebrities living with hair systems and are starting to be more open about them. This video is a great example.
  8. I am just a little over a month from my procedure and grafts have shed and have a bit of shock loss. I do not have any redness . If it concerns you that much I would just tell people you have a sunburn or psoriasis as the flare ups from that skin condition can look similar.
  9. I agree 100% with this advice and he knows what he is talking about . If you look at his pictures you will see the smart approach for someone that is a high norwood number. Also consider this . Propecia can stop being effective some report it loses benefits in five to ten years. I recently had an fut and my doctor had one of the best repair jobs on this site I have seen. The patient had transplants at a young age then lost his lateral humps when he got older. My doctor told me the patient was lucky that in his prior surgeries they did not go too aggressive with the hair line or waste hair in the crown. He was lucky he had enough grafts left. The crown is called the black hole for a reason it eats up a ton of grafts. Nobody is trying to scare you just giving you opinions. Keep doing research and consult with several doctors. Also you may want to do some research on shock loss. With a diffuse pattern a transplant can cause you to lose the hair that is already shrinking. Don't put much faith in cloning or other false claims. We have all been reading the same stories about growing hair on mice for years. You still have a lot of hair hopefully propecia can maintain it for a long time. Nobody is saying you can't have your crown done just be smart and research, research, research. Meet with a couple of quality doctors and compare what they say.
  10. If you want an honest answer to what you are asking you should send your pictures to Dr Konior. He is about as ethical as there is and will not bs you. He gives solid information for free and will not sugar coat the truth. I was not able to use him as a surgeon because he is booked out for almost a year but he gave me the best advice for free of anyone. There are some that will simply take your money tell you what you want to hear but he is not one of them.
  11. Sanjar you have been through hell my friend. I am super happy you won the free transplant with Dr Mohebi. Yours is not an easy case and it speaks volumes about his compassion as a surgeon and a person to do the repair. Hopefully you will be better soon. Really important you got the word out about this butcher shop in Colorado. You have been saving others from experiencing the same nightmare by being brave and telling your story. Wish you the best.
  12. Congrats on a fantastic result. Dr Alexander does great work.
  13. I guess it depends on the area but Costco is really cheap with Finasteride You do not need a member card to use the pharmacy at Costco. Just a heads up.
  14. You got the home run result my friend and I couldn't be happier for you. Your hair looks great. You have helped a ton of people on here with your advice including me. It's time for you to get on with life enjoy your hair. It is amazing that a year has flown by so fast I can only hope the next year does that for me as well. I finally had a procedure done with Doctor Cooley about a week and a half ago . Great experience great doctor. I may make my own thread not sure yet but not trying to hijack yours by any means. Wish you the best.
  15. Nice photos. Wish you all the best and happy growing Paulygon.
  16. That is looking fantastic. Dr Vories really did a great job. You should be very happy and you have many months for even more improvement. Congrats.
  17. Better all the time really a home run result. Nobody would ever think you were losing your hair by the way your results look. Congrats on winning the battle.
  18. Glad you are happy with your results so far Dutchie. I am after years of searching finally going under the knife on July 5th. Happy growing to everyone.
