Vacation after hair transplant Thailand?
Gatsby replied to TravelPlugs's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
The clinic would most likely have deals with a hotel/s nearby if you are having surgery with them. There are lots of cheap hotels in BKK. A week after FUE you could go to the gym (but let your surgeon guide you on activities you can and can’t do). -
Dr. Turan FUECapilar 4163 grafts Feb 1-2 NW4/5
Gatsby replied to Hysteria's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
The area of the frontal scalp plus the mid scalp is 145cm squared in surface. Don't worry about getting hung up about having 30/40/50/60 cm per square cm etc. It's the art of illusion that matters most. I've found that the two month period is the lowest point of the ugly duckling phase (now more than ever. lol). Wishing you all the best @Hysteria and happy growing! 👍 -
Vacation after hair transplant Thailand?
Gatsby replied to TravelPlugs's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
You could check out BKK after surgery but you will be limited from doing a lot of things that BKK has to offer. I agree with @HappyMan2021 that it would be better to do any touristy stuff before the procedure. All the best! 👍 -
I also tried topical finasteride however like oral finasteride I developed side effects. I was taking 0.25% topical everyday. I'm thinking of trying it again at a lower dose. However I would still recommend finasteride for anyone losing hair (with/without surgery). I just know so many people who take the drug and never experience anything negative at all except for stopping their hair loss and even gaining a little. I'm lucky that 5mg of oral minoxidil works well for me with zero side effects.

Finasteride side-effects mitigated by raising Testosterone levels
Gatsby replied to TheManeMan's topic in Hair Loss Drugs
I think the 5ar enzyme will genetically follow what it has been coded to do with testosterone. -
did robert forster had a hairtransplant?
Gatsby replied to mr_peanutbutter's topic in Open Hair Loss Topics
In the last pic you can see what a punch graft hair transplant (like I had at 18) looks like. You can also see how it has thinned out over time in his senior years. Another reason why medication should always be your first port of call with MPB. I remember 'Jake' (Joe Penny) from 'Jake and the Fatman' TV series had a punch graft hair transplant. His since had it repaired. -
I can only go by the posted pics @rs525. Going by these two pics you look young to me and looking at the left pic 2,500 grafts may lower your hairline too much. How old are you if I can ask? I think your should try medication even just to ensure you have stabilized the minor hair loss in the temples before you do anything else..

Hair Transplant (FUE) Cost in Tijuana, Mexico?
Gatsby replied to shashank19's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
That’s a big difference from you don’t need surgery to needing 3,000 grafts? Can you share some pics of your hair loss with your eyes blocked out? For a clinic to say no is something that you should pay attention to. Did any clinic speak to you about taking medication for your hair loss if you are not already? All the best. -
Is wearing a hat everyday bad for hair?
Gatsby replied to Sunset Dune's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
No. DHT in genetically predisposed people causes hair loss. -

@hairman4321 for only the fifth month your results in my eyes look excellent. You have many months ahead of you for further growth. 💯👌 -
Did you try Finasteride or any other medications prior to surgery?

How long does implanted hairs sustain
Gatsby replied to knightfurii's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
If you go to an elite surgeon who knows what he/she is doing and you’re on medication to stabilize your MPB you should be fine. Genetics though also plays a key part. -
hairline design Feedback on Hairline Design
Gatsby replied to MyTwitterID's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
This is what you see in nature all the time. It's when a hairline/temple points begin to look 'perfect' that it begins to catch the eye. Design looks good. 👌 -
This will sound hypocritical but I think it’s probably best to do this in two stages. The reason being that you are not using the majority of your donor in one hit on a large area in case something goes wrong. Also you can see how the first surgery pans out in terms of growth, weak spots and donor recovery. There’s nothing wrong with having surgery performed over consecutive days but waiting 12 months allows you and the doctor to see what you’re working with from the experience of the first surgery. All the best.

For two months this is incredible @Skeeter! 👌💯

Best way to exchange aud to Inr
Gatsby replied to dba's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Once they have given you the number of grafts then I would prepay nearly all of it. Open an account like Wise which has good exchange rates. Less stress for you once you’re there so you can focus on the surgery, etc. All the best. -
I respect your decision to not want to try a 5ari. However as a Norwood 6 you want to stabilize your donor from further loss going into a transplant. If you do feel you’re getting side effects you can cease the medication. It’s only my opinion nothing more. Look at surgeons who do great work in Norwood 6 patients and understand donor management. All the best.

The texture and quality of a scar continues to improve, albeit somewhat subtly, for years. -
