  1. I was on Propecia for 4 years since I was 20. I didn't see any results,so i stopped taking it. I then started using again for the last two years and added rogaine foam, 8 months ago. I am glad I gave it another shot, it seems to have stabilized my hair loss
  2. Yes, 1000 or less grafts is what I was aiming for. Though, I received quotes from 7 surgeons at 2000 to 2500 grafts. That exceeds my donor capacity and this is just for a hairline.
  3. Hey Guys, I am looking to camouflage my old mini and micro grafts. I will start with a little bit about my hair situation. I probably starting loosing my hair at 15 or 16. At 17 it was evident i was balding. I was already thinning in the crown and vertex. I decided without any research, because, well, the internet was not mainstream. I really didn't know much about the internet. I was lured in by a local surgeon with mass marketing, through TV,radio and even bill boards. He convinced me that he could help me out. So, i had my first transplant at 19 then 21 and then another at 23. This was total 2200 grafts with 300 grafts into my crown at 19. So, really his fat fuck*** plugs caused my native hair to fall out. There was no yield in the final transplant and I now I suffer from permanent scalp pain and inflammation. Not only did he waste my donor hair, but the nerve damage has caused a lot of hair to fall out. I am now presently 39, and i am hoping to make some improvements in the hairline. I don't have any good sources of hair and I am afraid that a hair transplant will cause further damage and will result in no growth. I spoke with a consulting with Hassan and Wong and he seemed to dismiss my concerns and would make a good candidate. I was also looking at Hairline Clinic as a possible option and or Koray Erdogan. I would like to mix in some beard hair with scalp hair at a low density. I don't know if it would look natural. I am really just looking for a short term solution in hopes that maybe in ten years there may be a cure. I have included some pics. Hopefully someone could help make some recommendations.
