A few bad apples...

0.5MG way too low

I don't understand why everyone is bashing him for doing a hair transplant at this age, he was on finasteride for one year with good results and according to most studies he has a very good chance to halt any further hair loss for 10+ years.

I have been on finasteride and minoxidil for almost 3 years and I keep seeing improvements on my temple area every year, I also intend on switching to oral minoxidil (from topical) and addone pill of dutasteride every week so I expect to see even more regrowth around the temples. Thing is, I am going to have a hair transplant next month to fill my temple area, can new hairs grow in this area from the medication and make it more dense?

Some more quotes that I have received:

Ximena Vila quoted me 2000 grafts (Just hairline no temple peaks)

Dr Gur Quoted me 2600-2700 grafts (Just hairline no temple peaks)

Dr Turan Quoted me 2200-2500 grafts (Just hairline no temple peaks)

Eugenix quoted me 2800 grafts (Hairline and temple peaks)

Asmed quoted me 3000-3200 grafts (Hairline and temple peaks)

2500 sounds correct to me

funnily enough I have opposite feeling from my consultation with Mwamba, I feel he quoted way too many grafts 😄

I guess once on surgery day and in-person everything can change and adapt on-the-go, dont fixate yourself on the quotation imo its just an approximation

I am having another video consultation with the doctor in a few days just to make sure that there won't be any surprises on surgery day 

The doctor said: "It will take 500 grafts for the frontline 500 grafts for the temples point and 1000 to 1500 for the back". But I honestly believe I need at least 2800 grafts

What do you think?
