I seriously wonder if a lot of this talk of side effects of finnasteride is more mental than physical You guys need to realize that a lot of sexual arousal is mental. If you have some kind of anxiety or fear, you will not get hard. I used to think I had some issues with finnasteride side effects - I realized it's mostly mental. If I can get very aroused now, I can get very hard. I personally wish I started using finnasteride at 24 to 25. I probably could have saved my crown from expanding as much as it has

I don't blame my doctor, I don't think he did a bad job. I think my results are pretty much standard. I think hair restoration is mostly complete nonsense and all the pictures for all doctors are more illusion than reality. Anyways, SMP is my only choice for it? If it's slightly visible, I'm okay with it

the pictures are so enticing. They make guys who look like a diffused NW3 pattern look like a dense NW2 and i knew it was complete bullsh*t because the doctor's pics of my 6 month progress make it look like I'm a dense NW1.5...when I still have tons of diffuse loss. After a shower, my hair looks fukking horrible. It's so frustrating for me because I was born with such beautiful, wavy, thick hair texture. My mom is 58 and has some of the most beautiful hair you can see. My grandpa at 50 had the hairline of a 12 year old. It's very very frustrating

I went into my FUT surgery with extremely misguided hopes. I figured I would go from a NW3V diffused pattern to being a thick NW2 due to my excellent hair traits and realized 4000 grafts just doesn't do much at all in terms of real density. So now I'm wondering what are my options long term my hair as it stands is decent. If I blowdry it and apply gel, nobody can tell I've lost anything except if they look in the back (which starts high enough to where hardly anybody can notice it). When I wake up though, you can see the diffuse thinning pattern. I'm worried i'm going to be a NW6 in 5-10 years (even with finnasteride, rogaine, nizoral). If I do become a NW6, what are my options for shaving my head with my FUT scar? Can I get some kind of a tattoo to cover it up? Thank god I have great jawline/beard genetics and I'm olive skinned so I think I'll look decent with the shaved head but I dunno what to do with the scar

all clinics publish pre op photos that are as unflattering as possible and post op photos that are as flattering as possible the unfortunate aspect of this is that people like us who have lost a ton of hair (especially in the middle and crown) will never have good looking hair. 3000 or 4000 grafts just isn't much. You need about 13,000 grafts to have good hair

I think this is what all the hair restoration clinics do in reality, unless you're a NW3 with good density, hair restoration surgeries just don't seem to give you much. If you have a significant crown situation, forget about it. You'll never have good looking hair I don't know how much longer we will be tortured by this until we can have hair restoration with the 20,000 grafts that we need to have proper hair

dude I posted pics before, right after and 6 months after I'll post pics at 7 month mark, you'll see it's basically no difference in the midscalp and crown. So frustrating. The hairline is huge difference but I barely cared about that. With my super curly hair, I can make a NW3 hairline look like a 1.5

it was supposed to be 13600 for 3500 grafts but my donor area was incredibly dense - ended up being 4K grafts. He didn't charge me any extra. That's about 4 dollars a graft. From what I gather, that's a good price but nothing super crazy. Which doctors are charging 8 dollars a graft for FUT? You mean to tell me these guys doing 5000 grafts on FUT are paying $40,000 for the hair?
