O Hare 57

That seems very unlikely unless you go to a crappy surgeon that doesn't use the skill and finesse to carefully place grafts in the right area with out excess trauma to the scalp and blood supply. I have had alot of shock loss after every surgery. However, I had a lot of hair that was already miniaturizing, (vellus hairs) So I ended up with less hair than I started after 1st procedure. It was horrifying and very, very, very costly. I had a biopsy done on my hair. 66 percent was vellus even though I had pretty thick hair. If you get a biopsy maybe for around 400 bucks from a hair surgeon or dermatologist you might be able to better predict future hair loss. Depends on your situation of course. Diffuse thinning is the worst as you cant predict what hairs will die or not but its not a good bet. I have been on fin for 4 years, not sure it really helped me or not. Doesn't seem like it. I am now recovering from my 4th!!! procedure and would not recommend this process to anyone who doesn't have alot of donor hair and mondo bucks to cover your A** if things go bad. Save up your money and make sure you go to a really good doc or youll pay severely in the long run. Good luck.

You don't need another but you may want one. Pray you don't but prepare and plan as if you will get another. Most likely you will down the road. Many many years ago a buddy of mine told me about his time in boot camp. Said they made him climb big hill in very hot desert with parka on and heavy backpack. Said cadets could drink from canteen when the got to top of Mt. Mofo. They made it to the top but instead of letting them drink they made them empty their canteens and said you'll have to climb down then back up again then you can drink water. Thats kind like a transplant. You spend a lot of money, then wait months for results thinking your almost to the top of the hill and you can breath easy cause your done. WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! Surprise you now have to go through it again to get the results you expected the first time around. Thats the breaks.

Its great you responded so well to meds. That said, Im 60 and I just had my fourth procedure. I didnt start thinning until I was 48. If your not happy with hairloss at 34, the same will be true at 44, 54 ad infinitum. I would get doc to assess your total life donor amount so you know how much hair you can transplant when you get older. I suspect your hair will slowly continue to thin the rest of your life. You like like a norwood 5 at least. You will need 6000-8000 grafts down the road if the meds effects start to wane. I have been taking fin for 4 years and am still losing hair. Good luck..

Going in with Dr. Wong on Monday. Good luck. How long did procedure take. Was FUE painful. Even if it turns out great, Ill wager youll be back for another surgery at some point. Now for the long wait..................

Your along way from final judgement so I wouldn't worry yet. Small gaps that you can see in the first few weeks tend to blend together when your hair grows out. Anyone getting a procedure should expect that they may need a 2nd or 3 transplant. There like coats of paint. One coat will rarely look even and perfectly uniform. Not to mention hair loss is progressive so you may develop bald spots 10 or 20 years from now that you'll want to fill in. Once you go the surgery route once its hard to ever accept the final result and you'll always want perfection but rarely will get it. I have had 7600 grafts at great expense and your hair looks better than mine.

On second look, I agree, your donor is thin. Its better to embrace baldness than to start cutting up your head, get half way through then have a half completed mess that you cant finish with visible scars that will make it hard to cut your hair short. Take the meds, wait a year then re assess. Also, pray they perfect hair cloning in your lifetime. I believe Elon Musk will be opening a Burger King on Mars B4 they find a cure for hair loss.

Just remember. Life is long and the hair loss demon is patient. He waits in the shadows and may strike when you don't expect it. The only person who has to look you in the eye each morning in the mirror is you. You are your own worst judge and your best own best advocate. The final verdict is yours. I hope one day they find a cure for this superficial yet insidious disease.

Your young with many potential years of hair loss ahead. You may also be a diffuse thinner over time. You get surgery. It looks good for a while then pre-existing hairs die off and you have to do another surgery around them to back fill the areas that thinned out.l I would wait for some time so see if meds works. Dont open pandoras box. I did and it cost me a lot. Ask doc what your potential norwood point is at the end. I would bet money you will need more than one surgery. Plan for it B4 you jump in. Good luck.

H@W 12 grand ? 2500 grafts in the front. Done!!! There is a hotel down the street walking distance. Good luck...

How much good donor hair do you have. Youll need 6-8k grafts to deal with it. Of course they might find a cure in 20 years, I mean for cancer, the common cold, poverty, war, colonize mars, regenerate limbs. But a cure for hair loss, fo get about et... They will of course still be assuring you one is "Just around the bend". Yeah, right.

Might get a thyroid test from doc. Simple blood test.

Go to a local pharmacy and get a rapid home test. Best to find out now B4 you loose your appointment and your down payment. If you cancel now you can reschedule but if you wait you could loose your turn in line and end up owing the clinic money for lost revenue. Also. Some people test positive for days or weeks after they are no longer contagious if your were asymptomatic you might get a false positive. Best to check with pharmacy and your doctor. You don't want to screw yourself by not knowing.

The only thing in the universe worse than going bald, it paying someone a ton of money who doesn't know what they are doing, then they F-up your hair and your head, then you have to pay even more and find someone who can hopefully fix the mistake. Bad hair transplant hell is a place "YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO TO." Save your money up and get it done right or not at all. If not you could end up broke, mutilated and very angry and depressed. There a excellent doctors out their, but way too many hair mills and bozos who will gladly take your money without ethical or medical concern. Don't make a bad choice you will regret. Do your research and proceed with care. Good luck...

Dr. Gabel could fix you up I am sure. He does FUE and eyebrow work.

Need pic of head B4 any work done for comparison... Could be temp or permanent. See a dermatologist. Good luck...
