Morrelis

Hi all. I’m 6 days in on 1mg and felt a tad dizzy today. Has anyone else experienced this and does it wear off? I’m thinking of taking it at night, not sure if that makes any difference of not.

thanks

@Morrelis Doing Hair Transplant will not solve your issue..You will do HT and implant new hairs but you will keep on loosing your native hairs and you will be in the same situation again in near future and thats how your will keep on chasing your hairs...The core issue is you are loosing hairs and HT cannot prevent it...so you have to fist target that and fix that...so as the other posters suggested ,you should get on medication which will help you to slow down/stabilise your hairloss progression...

Generally it is advised to be on medication for 10-12 months prior to surgery as it takes this many months to show its full potential ....but in your particular case there is no chance that a medication can improve you hairline so i would say you can plan your surgery a bit early...consult a doctor and start medication and be on it for 6 months which will help your donor and make it strong which is important and than can plan surgery to fix your hairline first which will frame your face well and leave your mid scalp and crown as it is and continue being on medication to improve your mid scalp and crown...

You can wear cap after 10 days...the best thing you can do to somewhat hide(less noticeable) a HT is by keeping your hairs very short and keep a fade look till evrythng starts growing which can take upto 4 months..i hope this helps you ..best of luck...

Thanks for the advice, really helpful - I think I will delay any plans for HT and see what the medication does

Have you considered finesteride and minoxidyl? 

They may be able to help slow down your loss, or even regrow some hair. 

There are plenty of threads on here about the pros and cons, but id personally suggest going into it with an open mind knowing the alternative is chasing losses through multiple surgeries.

I think I do need to look into F & M before I go for broke and book a procedure - how soon do the results start to show? I guess it varies for each person depending on age, metabolism, health, etc.

  Hi, does Saw Palmetto work in your case? What is your personal experience in terms of improvement after its use?  I read somewhere in this forum that Saw palmetto does not work. 

To be honest, I've been taking it for other reasons so I wasn't aware it was something that would help with hair loss?

Are you currently on any medication - it'd be a good place to start.

In terms of recovery, wearing hats is only really possible after 2 weeks. 

Shaveless FUE is generally the fastest surgery to recover from but is frowned upon by many.

I'm not on any medication, Saw Palmetto is the only thing I'm taking. 

Hi folks, newbie here and looking to get a transplant up in Leeds as early as September. However, my line of work is presenting events, so I'm conscious of how "presentable" I will be for the weeks and months after - Do you have any tips on the time it will take to look fairly normal and if not, the rules on what certain headwear can be used?

I've added some pics of where I am right now; I've been receding for a while but the crown loss is new and I'm keen to get this done sooner rather than later as both my Dad and uncle are completely bald.

Looking forward to seeing your answers.
