UK or abroad for surgery
TheGreatPretender replied to jmbuk's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
As someone who resided in the UK I would suggest you to go abroad, there are some decent clinics here howeaver I do strongly feel that they arent as good as the abroad ones. -
I'd say alot, his crown "dipped" alot forward, very likely that Minoxidil brought lot of those hairs back as he already had a lot of grafts covering his front.

It will go by quick trust me. I had my surgery on the 28th and 29th and it still kinda feels insane saying that I am already on month 3 already seeing some growth kicking in but still have ways to go, patience is always the key. Expect some bad days and good days though because at times you may start feeling doubts and worries, such things are normal. I have been doing some pep talk to myself and it has helped a lot ease my insecurities.

Topical vs oral Fin
TheGreatPretender replied to Abdul's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
If little to no progress on topical is worth considering oral Minoxidil. I would still keep oral finasteride if it hasnt had any adverse effects in your body though because studies are short on topical afaik. -
Don't worry, happens to us all. I know how easy it is for us to go hard on ourselves post surgery over minor things even now I still do. But then I think that I have done exactly as my clinic instructed until they deemed the grafts to be fully rooted and realize there is nothing really to worry about. Its all part of the proccess, I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery.

I was a bit paranoid too because I may have popped a pimple within a redish area (on day 11) and slightly bleeded a little. Probably because I kinda drained it out but no hairs fell with it. I kept supervising the grafts sourounding it but both of them that were in the area of impact staid. At that point my fear was mostly damaging them but nothing happened as they only shedded a week or two later. But yeah, after 10 days I'd say you're in the clear as Melvin says in the video. Scabs were gone by the end of day 9 anyhow so there wasn't really much I could do at that point to dislodge them, its only the inflamation that I needed to treat and unfortunately I wasn't cleaning the scalp very well which probably led to the infection. Seems like more and more people like op kind of get caried away by day 11, lol.

What?! This is absolutely INSANE! You could just go without having another transplant and still make it, Just WOW! This is an absolute SMASH by Laorwong. Im stocked for you man. I just completed month 2 so am on my third and already notice a couple of hairs post shedding phase. Hopefully once I reach month 4 I can have a similar head as yours ahah.

UK launches investigation of Finasteride
TheGreatPretender replied to BaldDude's topic in Hair Loss Drugs
Been on generic Finasteride for ages, never had a trouble. Switched recently to generic Dutasteride, same thing. Sometimes you can be alergic to some of the generic secondary ingredients but the same thing can happen with brand named medicine, I guess everyone does what works for them. It also depends on the brand, I used Accord and Milpharm so far and both worked well enough to help my hair which is what matters. I think another prespective that is vital to understand is the balding desease itself can be the direct cause of depression for many individuals so take with that what you will. -
Oral Minox in the UK
TheGreatPretender replied to UKLad81's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Makes sense. I agree about getting in the country itself but unfortunately my doctors are moronic enough not to prescribe me so I had to use this route. Did my research on the brand though and lots of people are using it either here or on Reddit so I'm 100% confident that it's as legit as it comes. You should be fine picking it up from anywhere. -
Oral Minox in the UK
TheGreatPretender replied to UKLad81's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
That's fine. The brand you buy is actually from Thailand so it's not like you are getting it made anywhere in the west but if that gives you more peace of mind more power for you. I just got from ADC since i found it quite cheaper for 6 months supply. -
Oral Minox in the UK
TheGreatPretender replied to UKLad81's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Doesn't come directly from India though. The brand is Indian but it's legit, lots of people have been ordering there for ages. -
Oral Minox in the UK
TheGreatPretender replied to UKLad81's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Got it via alldaychemist. 10mg of lonitabs, I will start splitting in two halfs once my supply from Spain post op ends. -
That's not the folicle if that's what you're wondering. Had a couple of those fall in, don't bother too much about them because the root is safe in your scalp.

Dr De Freitas 05/22/23 (3233 Grafts)
TheGreatPretender replied to Will_the_way's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Yes! THIS! Its exactly whats happening to me, and when I pass my hand in my head I can feel it sometimes but VEEEERY slightly! Like when I take photos with mobile or anything they are literally invisible like their using some sort of Harry Potter mantle ahahah. What makes me feel confident is that this is happening in month 2, so maybe around next month (month 3) and month 4 it will be getting better. And the good thing about it is that I will be off for a 1 month trip abroad so I will be able to enjoy my gains during a big holiday. -
Dr De Freitas 05/22/23 (3233 Grafts)
TheGreatPretender replied to Will_the_way's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Looks promissing and it seems like youre an early bloomer. Out of curiosity, have you noticed your hairs initially coming out as velus? I am nearing the end of month 2 (week 8 and have been noticing some popping out). Hopefully its a good sign of things to come. -
As far as Turkish surgeons go this is my recommended list. Please bear in mind my reesearch on turkey more in specific is limited because I have focused mostly on other european options. You can try and get a feel from what other users would tell you. Do your own diligence though and make sure you compare any results to the ones that are similar to yours. Take your time and avoid rushing it through, pick someone only once you are dead set and you know all factors that will influence your proccedure. Good luck.

Hair turning white after HT
TheGreatPretender replied to shadow_god's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
I have had some whiteish hairs coming out of my head and I can see some to have been implanted too. Doesn't bother me too much, I'll turn into Geralt Of Rivia if I have to. -
bumped my head 19 days post op
TheGreatPretender replied to baldfighter's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
That ain't possible. Dry skin around that time doesn't really do nothing to the graft as it's already rooted like native hairs.
