  1. With 1750 grafts, getting that perfect density won't be possible, but letting your hair grow longer can help cover up any thin spots, and you can always use hair fibers to fill in any gaps and make it look denser. When it comes to the crown, it's tempting to go all-in for density, but it might be smarter to hold onto some grafts for the future, especially since you've got a good amount of native hair in front and you seems to be young and may loose some native hairs in future. As for the hairline, i would say, a "V" shape might be worth considering over a "U" shape. A "V" shape tends to look more natural and can help hide any signs of a transplant better. Plus, it can age well and save you some grafts down the line. But hey, at the end of the day, it's your call. You're the one who's gotta look in the mirror every morning! I hope this helps you. Best of luck.
  2. Thanks for the appreciation brother and eagerly waiting to see the pictures ...
  3. Hey, don't stress too much about it. It's still early days after your hair transplant, and it's normal not to see rapid growth yet. Typically, around 3 months post-op, you'll start to see new hair sprouting, and the first 6 months are mostly about this new growth. After that, the hair growth should pick up pace and become denser gradually. The surgery can cause trauma to the scalp, which might affect the growth of your native hair. Shock loss is also a possibility, which can take some time to settle down. It's important to let your scalp heal properly before expecting too much. This journey requires patience, so trust the process and stay calm. You may face other issues during this 12-month period, but with time, they should resolve.
  4. A dosage of 2.5 mg of oral minoxidil is generally considered safe and has been found to be effective for individuals dealing with hair loss. Many doctors around the world prescribe this dosage to their patients. It's important to know that minoxidil is a vasodilator, meaning it widens blood vessels. Due to this property, it is essential to use minoxidil under the supervision and guidance of a doctor. When it comes to any medication, be it minoxidil or finasteride, it's crucial to consult with a doctor before starting treatment. Doctors will typically conduct the necessary tests and evaluations to ensure that the medication is safe and appropriate for the individual's condition. It is not wise to start or change medication or alter dosages without doctor's guidance, as this can lead to potential health risks.
  5. Shock loss can affect both the hair that has been transplanted and your existing native hair. Once transplanted, there is no real difference between the previously transplanted hair and your native hairβ€”they essentially become indistinguishable and are all considered part of your native hair. Medication can help reduce the effects of shock loss. And experiencing shock loss is not a certainty. Even if it does occur, it is typically temporary. Therefore, there is no need to overly worry about it.
  6. Dr. Pittela is a highly skilled surgeon, and I have full confidence in him. However, it's crucial not to rush the decision. It's essential to schedule multiple consultations and carefully weigh all options before making a well-informed choice. Since hair transplant surgery is a lifelong commitment, it's crucial to be thoroughly prepared and educated about every aspect of the procedure. Therefore, conducting thorough due diligence is paramount. Dr. Pittela is renowned for his surgical skills for high norwood patients, making him a top choice for a hair transplant for patients with high grade of baldness. However, it's vital not to make a hasty decision. It's advisable to consult with several surgeons to gather different perspectives and treatment plans. Understanding the intricacies of the surgery is crucial, as hair transplant procedures are permanent. Therefore, take your time to research, ask questions, and ensure you're fully informed before proceeding.
  7. I'd like to explain how surgery should be approached β€”> As a first step, you should address the underlying cause of your hair loss...even if you undergo surgery, if your hair loss continues, then you will be in the same state again soon...surgery won't solve your hair loss problem. It is therefore important to consult a good doctor who is more familiar with hair loss and begin medication. This can stabilize, slow down, or reverse your hair loss...this is the key to a successful outcome...to reap the benefits of medication, you need to take it religiously for the full 12 months and then reassess your situation and plan accordingly. Medication can also make your donor more healthy, so all of this will make you a better candidate for HT β€”>In addition to taking medication, you should also educate yourself. You can use this 12 month period to research more about hair transplant surgery, learn more about the whole process, and understand the nuances. Research good doctors around the world and shortlist around 4-5 doctors based on your findings, and then consult all of them to determine who best fits your needs and expectation Taking all of the above things into account will pave the way for a successful surgery I hope this helps you ...best of luck.
  8. The doctor has the ability to extract individual hair follicles (singles) and can even separate some multiple follicles (multis) into singles, but this decision depends on what the doctor considers best, taking into account the patient's hair characteristics. If a patient has thick hair, splitting multi grafts into singles might not be ideal because the multi grafts may contain thick hairs unsuitable for temple areas. In such cases, only very fine single hair grafts should be harvested. Some surgeons also believe that there could be issues with graft survival if they are not handled properly or if they are not split carefully, so some prefer to harvest only what is required rather than harvesting multiple hair grafts and then splitting them. Ultimately, the approach taken depends on the surgeon you choose for your procedure.
  9. In my opinion, he isn't worth considering right now. Technicians are primarily responsible for the procedures, and often, random technicians work on patients. I suggest exploring better alternatives.
  10. You're making remarkable progress with your hair transplant journey at the three-month mark. Everything is looking great, and your healing process seems to be going smoothly. The donor area is gradually improving, and it's exciting to see lots of new hairs starting to sprout. This stage marks the beginning of the real transformation as you are most probably fully out of the shedding phase, and it's clear that things are moving in the right direction. Happy growing and keep updating brother.
  11. Your current results are really impressive, especially in terms of the natural and soft look of your hairline. As you continue to heal and the transplanted hair fully matures, you can expect to see even more density. It's common for individuals to notice significant improvements in density during the latter half of the recovery period, which is typically between 8 to 18 months after the procedure. This means that while you may still see some improvement in density over the coming months, the most noticeable changes are likely still ahead of you. Overall, your progress so far indicates that you're on track to achieve a satisfying level of density, and I'm confident that you'll be pleased with the final outcome and won't have any dissatisfaction regarding density. Congratulations brother.

  14. Than You can request your primary care physician to communicate with your hair transplant surgeon to discuss any concerns or reservations regarding changes in your medication.
  15. I don't have any information about the doctor you mentioned, but it's generally advisable to have a skilled surgeon perform your procedure rather than relying solely on technicians. If the surgery is not done properly, it could result in significant financial, time, and emotional losses. Therefore, investing a little more in an experienced surgeon upfront is a wise decision. Additionally, it's important to carefully review feedback from real patients before selecting a surgeon. I hope this advice is helpful to you. Best of luck.
  16. Consult a good hair transplant surgeon and than create a medication regime that safely suits your needs rather than doing it on your own.
  17. Yeh its normal and you don't need to worry about it...it will gradually get better. After a hair transplant, the scalp undergoes a healing process, which can lead to dryness as the skin repairs itself. This is a normal part of the recovery process. If its too irritating than You can use some moisturising creams after consulting with your surgeon.
  18. Our bodies often need a period of adjustment when starting new medications. It's important to recognize that this process can vary from person to person. While some individuals may adapt quickly, others may require more time. In either case, it's crucial to follow guidance of your surgeon, when it comes to medication. Along with your surgeon , you should create a medication regime that is tailored to your specific needs and minimizes the risk of adverse effects. Changing the dosage or form of a medication, or starting, stopping, or substituting a medication, without proper medical guidance can be risky. Therefore, it's essential to consult with your surgeon before making any changes to your medication regimen. Your surgeon should be the primary source of advice when it comes to medication.
  19. The full potential of medication (finasteride and minoxidil) for hair loss typically becomes apparent after 12 to 18 months of consistent use. If you're not experiencing any side effects, it's advisable to continue using it for a longer period before reassessing. Additionally, consulting with a reputable hair transplant surgeon is recommended to create a personalized medication regimen rather than making adjustments like cutting down, stopping, increasing the dosage, or changing medication on your own.
