I hope this helps you. Good Luck.

Thanks for sharing, in the 2-3 euros category, who would you recommend for a crown HT?

Yes, FUE. But I don't want to rush into another transplant. I think the best option now is to take dutasteride, oral minoxidil and wait

Where from do you get your supplies for oral minox and dutasteride?

I will say this, Matt does a good job on YouTube, he’s got a good following. His videos can be entertaining. I believe he’s learned from lurking on here. My biggest issue is that he doesn’t admit that he made a mistake his first HT. It was not natural and done poorly. He received several repairs afterwards. 

His message would be powerful if he said “don’t do what I did” instead he doubled down. Unfortunately, that isn’t a good message. It’s unfortunately what many on Reddit fall for, believing cheap surgery = good surgery. 

Melvin, you're a legend! Thats a wise thing to say.

@Capelli21 Excellent write-up! I really like how your face is frame after HT. Kudos

@Gatsby for president! Happy for you man.

Excellent write-up and happy growth @Anthropos

Do you know how much Dr. Ferreira charges per graft these days?

Thank you kindly for your reply! I have not considered going with the oral form of each only because I have not heard/read the best things about the side effects/long-term side effects. Although I would love to hear your opinion on these two medications taken orally.

I do want to fill in the widow's peak/temples, as well as the crown. I did think 3000 was a little excessive. But I do want it to look as natural as possible, so I don't know if that is why there are so many grafts. Have you heard anything about the DHI procedure using the Choi Pen? 

I see, I do have a bit to think about and research then. Thank you for the information.

Oral Finasteride is strongly recommended. For oral Minoxidil, I have recently noticed that many doctors start to prescribe it, instead of the foam/solution forms. Finasteride works its magic on the crown but it needs time to kick in. Give it a year. It is not effective for hairline and temples. Majority of the surgeons will recommend to use it post surgery to enhance the outcome. DHI or any other pen is ok... its the surgeon choice. Some clinics claim that using DHI will make the transplant area heals faster. Again its all claims. Remember, DHI is a technique for implementation into the transplanted area... it has nothing to do with the extraction from donor, for which FUE is typically used nowadays. For me, I wouldn't pay more just for the DHI!

I'm not sure if Finasteride causes shedding but I'm certain that Minoxidil does.  

For best results, I suggest you consider staying healthy, i.e., sleep well, workout, eat well balanced meals, drink water, take supplements (vitamins, omega 3, etc.). If you have dandruff, Nizoral should be your shampoo. 

Good luck man. Looks like we will follow each other's journey. I'm scheduled for a HT with Dr. Das on 7-8th in Gurgaon.

Donor picture is not quite clear. Looks like you just had the HT recently?

If I had your hair, I would wait with the HT and focus on Finasteride and give it a year. With Minoxidil, it is even great. Having these pre-surgery will maximize the outcome of the HT later, if you decide to do it. Have you considered going with the oral form of each? Finasteride will also be needed post HT, for 6-12 months, for me its a must to take!

I guess you're stage 3, and 3,000 grafts is alot for your case. Get more advice from the fellas here in the community.

If you decide to proceed with a HT, be mindful of the shock loss that will potentially damage existing grafts in the vicinity of transplanted area. I'm afraid this can't be avoided in your case. Good luck.
