@Dr. Suhail Khokhar how many grafts each FUT? How Is your scar these days? 

I don’t recall exactly, but I think it was 1,500 and 2,000 grafts. My donor area is great... knock on wood. I think I’ve got about 6-7k grafts left which will be used in the mid scalp and crown and probably about 1k in the front. My scar is not noticeable at all. I’ve got wavy hair which helps a lot.

I’ve had 2 FUT procedures, 10 and 7 years ago and am still going strong. I’m probably going to get 1-2 more transplants. I’ve recently started using a topical solution of finasteride and minoxidil.

@Dr. Suhail KhokharKhokhar is this the case with FUE procedures as well? Any risk to recipient site?

FUE scars (they're obviously much smaller than an FUE scar, it's just that there are a lot more of them) can still be strained so I advise patients to wait 2 weeks before resuming strenuous physical activity.

I am under the impression that the hair graft follicle is mechanically secure by 1 week post op. If this is the case then what is the risk with exercising after 1 week post op? Is it sweat? Stress? Valsalva?

There's a risk of stretching FUT scars depending on what type of exercise you're doing and I've seen this happen, especially with heavy lifting. I would hold off on such activity for about 3-4 weeks.

Very nice results and refined work. Thanks for sharing.

Hi.

 

I've had one previous FUE surgery, that was probably around 800-900 grafts on the front of my scalp.  This was about 8 years ago. Since then my hair has thinned more on my crown and mid scalp.

my donor areas are nice and thick, so there's plenty to work with. I'd like to take a big whack at it and get the whole situation sorted with 5k grafts or so.

 

Can anyone help me narrow down the Dr.'s I should be looking at, in terms of quality and value? I'm in the Chicago area. Locally would be nice, but i'm not opposed to traveling for the best deal.

 

thanks

 

In Chicago, I can personally give my highest recommendation to @Dr. Vladimir Panine. He's highly recommended over here and has a ton of results posted. You can PM him as well and he'll get back to you quickly. Feel free to PM me if you'd like. 

Yes, you should be on finasteride/minoxidil and should have been on it long ago. If you're getting side effects from oral finasteride, use the topical solution. I use Morr F which is a topical combo of finasteride and minoxidil and there are multiple studies proving its efficacy (see my prior posts). For you, I would try oral finasteride and topical minoxidil. If you're getting side effects from oral finasteride, switch to topical finasteride. 

Feel free to PM me if you have more questions. All the best

I use the Morr f 5% (it's a minoxidil/finasteride combo) and will be increasing to 10% in a few months. It's stabilized my hair loss and has revitalized my existing hair follicles. I highly recommend it. You have to be patient and be on it for at least 3 months. Keep us posted.

Amazing results. Thanks for sharing Doron. The patient must be ecstatic with his new head of hair.

Can I ask, Why is there no side effects from a topical finasteride?

Because the effects of the topical solution are localized to the area where you apply the solution (there's no systemic absorption). The oral form is systemic so it goes through the vascular system and can cause side effects. 

Great results! Thanks for sharing

The first 5 minutes was mostly me trying to figure out the technical aspects. 

 

I will be breaking it down and posting small tidbits to YouTube. I’m kicking myself for not asking about repairs.

Please do post it. Lots of good questions asked. 

@Dr Blake Bloxhamis exceptionally good. You made a great choice. Please keep us posted

One of the best results I've ever seen. Especially for so few grafts and the large area needed for the grafts. The patient must be over the moon.

Have you guys seen any growth from topical finasteride. Any thickness of hair by any chance?

I have definitely noticed that it's stopped my hair loss and stopped miniaturization. My hair is thicker and looks much healthier. 

Yes, I buy off of eBay. I most recently used devishi.gems. Shipping took a while due to COVID but luckily I bought a lot of it to mitigate for future disruptions

I use it regularly and it's stabilized my hair loss. Obviously the topical solution won't be as potent as the oral formulation. However, there are virtually no side effects from the topical solution.

Just checked out bloxham’s work and I’m amazed. Same price as dr. Cooley, but I have to take into account the flight and stay. My decision just got a bit more difficult lol.

Here is Dr. Bloxham's Youtube channel and it has a LOT of videos with patient results and great info on hair restoration:
