the height in cm of the hairline above the glabella

Hello there, I'm not sure right now though I guess a little bit more than 9. Maybe 9.5

I talked with him recently and he is very happy, trying new hairstyles. He also scheduled another HT to increase density with beard and chest. I'll keep this case updated and also check the distance you asked.

Good to hear that 😊 thank you

How much per graft?

It depends on the package chosen by the patient. For more info please DM me.

Have you considered looking into the topicals that are gaining popularity within the market? 

It seems that the incidence of adverse fx are similar. And topical finasteride must be made in gel, and not liquid or foam. The correct formulation is not easy to find.

I think Dr. Pittella said he starts at 2.5mg and progresses to 5mg if tolerated (correct me if wrong).

 

that is correct. For women i start with 1mg mid

I LAUGHED LOUD HERE.

I also notice you prescribe oral minoxidil quite frequently, so you often times notice much regrowth in patients with this ?

Oral minoxidil to all.
I don't expect any regrowth. I just want to avoid the progression of the baldness to higher norwood classes.
Oral minoxidil is the treatment closest to finasteride in terms of result we can get. Even so it is pretty inferior.

I’ve noticed a few of your patients not on any 5ar inhibiting medications, is there a particular reason for this? 

That is correct. I do not prescribe 5-ARI (finasteride, dutasteride) to my patients. The reason for that is because those medications MAY cause (in a small percentage of patients) sexual dysfunctions, such as libido loss or decrease in ejaculatory volume. The patient needs to use baldness medication for the rest of their lives. And if at any moment he feels a decrease in libido, he will abandon all the treatment. I know this is a controversial conduct though this is my medical opinion. I understand that finasteride and dutasteride are excellent in hair growth, and as I do not prescribe them, I need to rely only on my surgery skills in order to achieve a good result. I cannot count on 5-ARI to reach any goal.

@Dr. Felipe PittellaGreat result. Makes a dramatic difference in his look.

Was this a single day of surgery? And can I ask what the purpose of the red arrows are on the patient's forehead?

Yes, single day.
 

The purpose of the arrows is to guide me during the pre incisions so that I can get the correct angle and direction of the implanted hair (in this care, to the right side, 40 degrees from skin surface).

Fantastic work, you definitely deserve getting approved for our recommendation. This is a great example of how you should treat diffuse hair loss patients. I would ask if you could post some graft placement pictures, that would be fantastic.

Thank you. I'll soon post a video here with a graft placement using DNI
