I’m two weeks out and expecting full FUE shed. But, like everyone I’m sure, I’m starting to hope I’m a lucky one who does not. My only question is—the hairs seem to be growing...is that normal before shed or a good sign? 

Approach this carefully. Try meds first and see how it goes for sometime. You do not want to get shockloss in recipient zones. This can happen when a surgeon implants in and within your native hair area. Especially, if they try to do a high level density placement even when you have native hairs in that zone. In any case, if you feel you need a restoration, you should get consult from surgeon like Dr Konior or any well experienced surgeons that do critical surgical aspects of surgery. Safety and careful planning will be extremely important. I would think you will at least be looking at 1500 or more grafts. This can all depend on the caliber and texture of your hairs.

 

Are you considering FUT or FUE?

Am considering FUE. But it seems like most people here are saying its a no go.

I see. Thanks for the response. What exactly would shock out? And are you saying that I would be able to add to the front, just not the back? I'll look into the meds I suppose.

Not really. I hear the side effects can be pretty horrible. Is that not true? I'm 30.

What results can I expect? I feel like it's early enough but am really worried about doing FUE, especially in terms of immediate scars/scabs/red marks and transition period. Am wondering how good of results I could get and if t is worth it. Completely new to this and all help so greatly appreciated.
