Hi Mhlor

imho you should wait and see what kind of results you get from minoxidil and finasteride.           The medication could thicken the thin miniaturised hair and you may not need to undergo surgery right away.  The longer you wait the better. Besides it gives you time to research and plan. 1500-2000 graft is a good number if you're not lowering your hairline. 

Just to let you know that  planting grafts so close,  in and around your  native thinning hair could cause that hair to go into shock loss which may not grow back.

 

 

I actually see regrowth just a bit over 2 months use of topical fin and min. My hair transplant date is in one week. Im so nervous. 

I am prescribed 1% topical fin and 5% min compound. I hope thats not too much. been on it for 2 months now.

I hope I dont suffer any shock loss. I brought it up to the surgeon in the phone consultation and all he said was "theres not much to lose". Ill bring it up again on surgery day.

These latest photos seem to show a slightly better situation.

How old are you? Are you using any hair loss preventative medicine?

You would ideally like to reinforce your hairline and frontal third without lowering your hairline at all?

I'm 29 turning 30 in a few months. Yesterday marked the first day I started taking topical fin and min. In two months, scheduled for transplant for 2000 grafts. I never thought my hair was this bad until i moved to my new apartment about 3 months ago. The bright bathroom lights really exposed my hair loss after showers and made me freak out a bit. I really just want to reinforce my hairline. My forehead has always been big growing up. 

Trying to reinforce my hairline. Here are more pictures. Sorry, hair is kinda long and pics are blurry.

Guys, will 2000 graphs be enough for the area i circled?

How were your results with doctor Buchwach?

Anyone with experience with this doctor? I'm scheduled with him in about two months and am nervous.
