What I mean is that at my clinic, the surgeon used the FUE devices and made the surgical punches for each follicle. But then let one of their technicians to do the extractions (pulling of the grafts). And the technician did it so fast (like rapid fire pulling) that most grafts were not able to be used because the hair follicle would tear from the root.

When are the grafts fully secure? I get mixed answers from my surgeon, the forums, and other hair transplant doctors. I am post-op day 8, and have only been pouring cups of water with shampoo onto my head. When can I actually start to scrub with my finger pads without worrying about losing any grafts? Thank you!

Looking for recommendations
baldiee replied to Bheb's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
From that one picture, it looks like you have good donor. But you need a surgeon to evaluate and make a thorough assessment. You can achieve full coverage, but keep in mind you will need multiple surgeries, not just one. It's not guaranteed that you can extract 4,500 grafts in one session. I recommend starting with FUT. Then switch over to FUE after you've exhausted FUT. Happy growing! -

baldiee replied to lowk's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I get depressed from the staples and pain for the first 2 weeks 😭 i get depressed because lack of comfortable sleep, thorough shower, no t shirts, no outside/sun, etc. Once the staples get removed on day 14 and get to buzz cut my hair and shower ohmyygawdddd 🥴 -
PRP is a waste of money. Tried it from personal experience. Does not work.

Also try not to freak out so much. You CAN fix your hairline in the future. You will have a good hairline again. Hair transplants really do work. So don’t feel like this is how you’re going to look for the rest of your life. I can relate to losing your confidence/identity with even the slightest change in hair loss. Let’s first try being conservative for a few more years before committing to a hair transplant surgery. These forums will help find the right surgeon for you.

Since you are really young and not showing aggressive signs of hair loss - i say wait a few years to see the progression of it. You look great - i’d be happy with that amount of hair at 24. Focus on other things in life Reassess around age 27-28+. If your crown is stable, you can fix the frontal hairline. If you can tolerate finasteride without any side effects, then take that to protect your crown. You don’t want to use up so many grafts right now to fix/lower the hairline. And then years down the road, you run out of grafts to keep up with hair loss towards the back of your head. Donor hair is limited. We want to make sure you are set up safely in the long-term. Good luck!

Is FUT for graft maxing outdated advise
baldiee replied to Bandit90's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
The problem with doing FUE first is that you lose the option to do FUT because it messes up the donor harvest area. With FUT, you can do multiple clean strips of harvest. And then perform FUE around it when you've exhausted the strip method. You can also do FUE into the strip scar and conceal it at the end. Ultimately, this is how you can get the highest yield of grafts in the long-run. This method is really good for those with severe hair loss like Norwood 6+. If you are barely thinning in smaller areas, then FUE is probably favorable for you. It just depends on the person, how much hair loss you have, and how many surgeries you are planning to do. -
Am a a good FUE candidate?
baldiee replied to WanderingRobot's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
If you decide to do a hair transplant, start with FUT first to get the highest yield. Keep in mind you will need multiple surgeries to cover your loss. FUE should be the last surgery. Only go through with surgery after a surgeon has looked at your donor and has given you the green light. -

Anyone have FUE results with Dr. Bloxham?
baldiee replied to baldiee's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
A little over 5,000 for me. Some people might have better donor hair and can probably get 6,000 grafts with 3 procedures.- 19 replies
