Podcast with Dr. Bruno Pinto Tomorrow
Pelange replied to Melvin- Admin's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Can you ask if there is any tests to see if any medication (Oral minox, Oral dut, fin ?) is not going to work for some of patients? If these does not work, does not make sense to do the HT, right? Also, are there any medical conditions (not nw level) stop people doing HT? Any test we need to do before the HT, like bloodwork? I did my first HT, the redness and some inflammation is still there at some spots after 2 years, and my dermatologist gave me more medication and ordered biopsy. Why this happen after so long and can i still do a 2nd HT? Thanks so much -
Oral minoxidil question
Pelange replied to Pelange's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Great to know. Thanks Evan. -
Hi to our great community, I talked to several doctors and I have been taking oral minoxidil 2.5mg for 3 months. No side effect but I did not see much growth either. All the doctors told me that I might need to take it for the rest of my life. I found there is test for topical minoxidil https://www.danielalain.com/products/minoxidil-response-test-men Is there any test to see if we are candidates for Oral ones? Thanks. Even there is no side effect, but if this medicine does not help, why we need to take it for the rest of life, right? Thanks so much. Peter

Getting to Dr Felipe Pittella‘s clinic
Pelange replied to Gavinlee's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I don't know if anyone else contacted his office. I emailed them and talked to them on WhatsApp. There is not even time slot for video consultation recently. I don't know how anyone made appointment with them. I was trying to reach out to them. No luck. Anyone else contacted them recently? -
@Rahal Hair Transplant@A_4_Archan@mr_peanutbutter Thanks everyone for your expert opinions. I already have an FUE and now I want to do a 2nd HT. Some surgeons told me to do a FUT and I was debating if I should go with Eugenix for FUE. Their results looks good too. At the same time, I am worried if I use most of the grafts in the 2nd HT, I might not be able to do FUT later or sth else. I am trying to meet with Dr. Sethi from Eugenix in July to see what he thinks. Thanks again.

Hi guys, I am confused. Some doctors said FUT first and then FUE will give more grafts. If I do FUE first and then do FUT, why will I get less grafts? Also for the FUT, do they use all the grafts on the strip they cut out? Thanks so much, Peter
-
Thanks so much. That makes sense.
-
Thanks so much for your kind reply. learned a lot from you.

I might need a lot of grafts for Nw6. Do you guys recommend to do FUT first and then FUE? Some doctors I consulted told me that I should do FUT first to get more hair grafts and then do FUE. This way they can guarantee that I have some grafts left for future. Is the beard hair the same survival rate? Thanks.
-
Yea. That is my confusion. Based on the US doctors, more than 3000 grafts is probably over harvest, if I am right. How he does 6000 and is not over harvest? The donor area is ok after this?
-
Hello everyone, I am thinking about doing a 2nd HT. Most of US surgeons I consulted will not do over 3000 grafts. And they all say that over harvest is not good for the donor area. But Dr. Zarav, Dr. Pitella etc do large FUEs like over 6000. Is that not over harvesting? A lot of you guys are expert on this, any thoughts will be greatly appreciated. I am so confused. Thanks so much.

Pelange replied to Pelange's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Thanks for your comfort. It sucks and makes me feel worse. Dr. Bisanga said the new hair is too thin and sparse. And he wants to see me 6 months later and he told me to use oral minoxidil to help the grow. Hope it will be a little better. I felt i wasted 2000 grafts. -

The other dermatologist gave me the antibiotics(doxycycline ) for 3 months and the moment as one and clindamycin phosphate solution too use daily for the redness. I felt the redness is better now, but still there
