I dunno if Rahal is still the hairline king but I do know his patient coordinator named Aaron Bugayong with the Filipino accent was hands down the most annoying person I have ever dealt with at a ht doctors office. He would call me in the middle of the afternoon during work hours and if I didn’t answer he would dial again and again. He would leave the same voicemail message for me and even called me by the wrong name once. This was all before I had even scheduled an appointment for a consultation. Then he would follow up with a cut and paste email telling me “WE WONT GIVE UP ON YOU WE WANT TO HELP YOU GET YOUR HAIR BACK.” Horrible aggressive marketing strategy

Which doc?

I’m 2 months post op and sent an update to my clinic. They noted some stubble left on my transplanted area and said they must be rubbed off as they are lingering telogen hairs and may impede future growth. I let them know I have been showering daily and rubbing the area to no avail. I asked if it was ok to use tweezers to pull them out lightly and they said it’s ok. Most of them would come out with light pulling with tweezers but I noticed some nearby vellous hairs come out with them. The vellous hairs had very small white ends on them. My question is were these additional vellous hairs newly growing hairs from my transplanted grafts or old miniaturized hairs? Did I just eff up hard?

Looking great bro

Do u have a scalp condition like seborrheic dermatitis? What is that redness behind ur hairline in the pre op asmed photos?

I’m not sure about the answer to ur first question but I’ve also heard you may not be able to donate blood if taking fin. I’d call and ask the blood bank before.

I’d ask your doctor first as each doctor has their own specific post op protocol. My post op fue instructions said I can return to gym after 10 days.

Looks like ur holding onto a decent amount of grafts after a month. Ur hair grows fast, u use supplements?

Mind linking us to these bad Cooley and feriduni results? I’ve looked and can’t find any

Wait why were u banned?

Looks like it. Try and take pics in similar lighting. Usually facing a window with natural light coming in gives the best control

Good article melvin what is the recommended usage of nizoral shampoo?

Your hair looks great

Can you post a pic similar to your pre fin pic so we can see exactly how much of your hairline filled in?

Thank you looks great

Reach out to Spex on here. He can get you in touch with a doctor that can get it out to you directly in the uk

Looks like a very good result. Do u have pics with more angles? Also what does FIT stand for?

I think you look great. Your Face is framed much better. I also think there’s thickening that will come too

From what I’ve read, male pattern baldness is progressive, as in once it starts it continues. At that point it’s your genes that dictates how fast or slow you will lose hair. Your genes also dictate your level of hair loss and what Norwood you will stabilize at. I’ve been on hair loss forums for many years and read a few stories where people talk about their relatives that lost hair relatively early and became a Norwood 2 or 3 and kept that for many years. personally, I think the best way to see what your Norwood destiny is would be to take a look at your relatives (father brothers uncles grandfathers etc) and see what kind of patterns there are and which you resemble the most to give you a rough idea of where you’re headed. with that said, treatments can slow/delay and in a lucky population stop progression of hair loss so look into that as well.

Smash, wonderful result. Thank you for sharing with the community. You are truly a stand up guy! Enjoy your full head of hair bud

Bump, anybody know?

Looking good please keep us updated

Dutasteride is one of those drugs where on paper it outperforms finasteride. However, after browsing hair loss forums for 13 years I’ve seen only a few cases where people benefited more from dut after trying fin. But that’s not saying much since that’s all anecdotal. ive tried dut roughly 3 different times in the last 6 years or so and I can’t say it did any better than fin for me. I started losing ground on fin after about 5 years. However dut gave me more sude effects- it threw my Hormonal blood test results off on a few measurements. I haven’t retested since dropping it roughly 7 months ago. Again., sides differ with everybody and just because I experienced them doesn’t mean someone else will.

Did u request an in person consult? I did mine with him virtually. Of course I live in another continent though. I consulted in May and was scheduled for November so roughly 6 months. I took on a cancellation and got surgery on September. That’s the only info I can go from.

I want to know which doctor promises a 98% survival rate, why don’t u share his name
