@AnalogFeel Post some pictures of your scalp so we can give you some feedback.  

Any pics? 

I agree with what the above poster said, but FYI, my staples came out after 3 or 4 days. And that was with Konior.

Did you get stitches as well as Staples or just staples?

Did Dr Cooley do a non-shave procedure? How are you back at work already? Anyone notice or us there any swelling or pain?

Great early growth! How's the FUT scar looking?

Rahal is THE MAN! Was this definitely FUT? You can't even remotely see any donor scar despite very short sided haircut (Blade level looks to be a 2 - in the middle row far right picture).

Havn't been around for a long time, bc I don't even think about it anymore lol. Here's a pic.

Your hair looks great!!! Are you on propecia or Rogaine to maintain??

Looks great! Was this a FUT or FUE procedure?

hsrp10, so the dosage schedule & amount that you're on has stopped any progression for the last several years?

@barak did your hair loss doctor recommend that dosage after your surgery?

Hey Matt, yes ive been doing 1MG Mon Weds Fri. Switched to Mon Thurs at 1mg.

Do you have experience with .5 MG Mon Weds Fri? Was it effective?

Hi All,

I know this topic has been spoken A TON, but I wanted to see if anyone takes 1MG of propecia just 2 days a week for a significant amount of time and didn't see a decrease in effectiveness. Looking for any recent testimonies, everything on here seems to be several years old.

Due to some side effects and wanting to be watchful of liver health (don't want to take meds processed in the liver too much, i drink a few days a week too) I shifted from a Mon, Weds, Fri regime (which worked well) to a Mon and Thurs regime a few months back. Also, I have a procedure scheduled with Dr Konior next June, so I thought any hair loss due to this switch could be fixed and I can get back on more regular dosage frequency.

I noticed some shedding at first, but have stayed the course. I also have had an increase in adult acne (I'm 42 yrs old), which is weird. I'm heading toward my 3rd month at this level and haven't seen any noticeable hair loss. Just wondering if anyone had a nightmare scenario after decreasing from 3 days to 2 days a week.

AWESOME RESULT! Was this FUT or FUE?

FUE requires shaving the full donor area, and its more expensive with Dr K. I'm trying to conceal the procedure, and go back to work quickly without a hat. Plus from what I hear Dr K's scars are almost invisible.

Thanks guys! I can't wait for next year!

Thanks for the positive vibes!

This is a FUT procedure. I'm not going to cut my hair since I have to conceal the procedure for work purposes. I figure FUT is the way to go, since i prefer to keep my hair long and Konior is so good with scars (from what I hear). Also FUT is less expensive and doesn't require a full donor area shave.

@jemaddox, any regrets so far? I just scheduled a FUT 1800 graft procedure with Dr K for next year. I'm so excited! I'm not going to shave to conceal things for work (I can't wear a hat like you), which said should work out fine considering the # of grafts I'm looking at.

Hey @michiganmatt, any updates or words of advice? I scheduled a FUT procedure with Dr K for next year (he's a year out).

Alright gents, just scheduled my procedure with Dr Konior. He's a year out right now, but he seems to be the best in my area (in the midwest). I'm really excited!

Does anyone have any regrets going or any word of advice going with Dr Konior?

I still have a pretty good coverage I'm a Norwood 2 at it's worst. Not looking to rebuild or advance my hairline. Basically just looking for 1500 to 2k grafts in the frontal 3rd and crown area to boost density and position me well as I approach my mid 40s (age). I'm doing a no shave procedure since my hair is fairly long and I have pretty good coverage. Plus I hope to be back at work within a week.

Any words of advice or any regrets?

I just went to Dr. Konior's office for a free conciltation. Dr. Nadimi did the consultation for me. She seems great and had some good photos of patients for hair restoration. Does anybody have any experience getting a hair transplant with her? She's a little less expensive and way more available than Konior, who is booked out for a year now.
