  1. I'm really concerned with Dr Diep ethics. I've been looking into him but almost $9 a graft is ridiculous and his office peoples manners seem quite rude. They sent me an email quoting me for a lower price and as I'm about to pay it I call them and they raised the price on me. When they sent me a quote for the higher price they even changed it to a sooner due date and refused to accept the price they sent me in email.
  2. TBH, you should give a minimal dose of finasteride a try, say like .25 or .5 mg. You know further loss is inevitable and this process isn't cheap. I did have side effects at the full 1mg dose, thats why I think its best to start at a small dose. It wasn't ED but more of pain in the prostate area which subsided when I let it go away for a week then switched to .25 and eventually to .5. Now I take 1 mg and notice even more hair gains. If anything taking Xanax on and off has given me more ED problems than finasteride has. The donor extraction looks concerning but I do know asians have thicker hair and maybe he had to use a larger punch. Do you know what size he used?
  3. Not sure if it does anything for the overall result but I do know it helps prevent shock loss.
  4. I know this is an old thread, but can anyone state their opinion on this? I have a high hairline but it is only .6 cm above my highest forehead crease. I know that doctors use this when deciding where to place a hairline. I'm leaning towards a hair transplant but I feel I won't be able to achieve much difference if this ultimately decides as low as I can go. Would a hairline advancement be an option in a situation like this so that I can further my result? Would the creases return after a hairline advancement?
