Diffuseloser

Thanks for the pic. If you are happy then that's all that matters I guess but I was expecting a better result from Bloxham.

I would not be satisfied with this result.

Hi Melvin, Thanks replying and thanks for keeping this site running. I started finasteride and minoxidil back in April 2019, that’s all I do except the occasional Nizoral because the liquid minoxidil gives me severe dandruff and I have to use that to remove the excess dead skin. What are your general thoughts on my situation? Assuming finasteride and minoxidil work and this crazy shed is temporary, am I in a good spot for restoration? I am 33 btw

Thank you for your response. I have been on finasteride for over a year now. I started back in April 2019. As for my donor, my hair was dry in those pics. Clearly some thinning around the ears which I am concerned would make the linear scar very visible.

Hello everyone, I have been a long time lurker using this site as a source for research. I want to thank everyone who posts their experiences here; it really helps out. I decided it was time to post some pictures of my own and to ask for advice about my situation. I am a very diffuse thinner, I probably started noticing my hair loss sometime between 2014 to 2015 but probably started losing before that. Started finasteride/liquid minoxidil treatment on April 2019. I think I am very lucky to still have as much hair as I do now considering I waited so long to do anything. Toppik still looks very good on me considering my hair loss pattern. Here is a list of concerns I am hoping people will comment on: Not knowing if finasteride will work for me long term - As you can see from the April 2020 pic, I regrew some hair but now I am losing hundreds of hairs daily worse than it has ever been. My routine has not changed, 1mg finasteride a day, 4mls/day of minoxidil (the brand changed from Kirkland to Great value, shouldn’t matter). Also tried foam don’t know if that affected anything. Thinning donor/retrograde alopecia (Do I have DUPA?) Distrust of surgeons/outcome of procedure - I went to one of the top doctors in the US and he completely dismissed that I had retrograde alopecia. Said I was a good candidate for at least 3 FUT's and maybe one final FUE. Additionally in general, there are plenty of bad or disappointing outcomes from even top doctors. FUT/FUE concern - Even if I were a candidate for FUT surgery I am concerned about a visible scar at the sides where my donor is thin and if the surgery fails I will always have that scar. If FUE fails there is no concern but then I have affected my lifetime graft supply. Hair transplant so close to native hairs as I am so diffuse, will it affect my native hair not really fixing anything? Please ask any questions and I hope to get some responses.
