Topical fin/min? Or oral?

Superior result! Congratulations! What’s your current regimen? Still using topical dutasterid?

Hey guys, i was trying to find out about if finasteride may be counterproductive for beard/ bodygrafts? Some people claim their beard/ bodyhair got thinner while using finasteride. Since I got beard grafts transplanted recently I was thinking about this and would like to hear your opinion and own experiences?

Ok, that’s good to know! I did shave the area 2/3 times starting 10 days post op. But only with a clipper, never wet shaved. But I stopped doing that when the ingrowns/irritation started. At least it didn’t get worse the last few days so I think it’s under control. 👍 Thanks you guys for your help so far. I will keep you updated on how it’s progressing.

They were planted throughout the midscalp and crown and were mixed with grafts taken from my scalp donor.

I will keep posting! And i will post a detailed case report when I find the time and when growth is starting. Btw, the doctor said there are easily 2k grafts left he could extract just from that area if needed. So that’s a nice reserve there since I don’t need the hair on my neck anyways😁 But of course most of them are singles…

Motorized punch, I think punch size was 0,9. I will add 2 more pics, after one day, and on the second day post op. like i mentioned before, healing was great.

It was healing great, after 3 days it was almost invisible. The punch holes were completely healed, just a slight redness of the skin. 2 weeks post op they started to develop. It became a little itchi and some redness developed but probably due to me scratching the area sometimes. It doesn’t feel infected at all, just itchy and there are some ingrown hairs. All together It looks very good, it’s just these underground encapsulated little balls that I’m a little concerned of because i don’t want to develop some kind of abscess. They are not easy to see, just to feel when you pinch the skin.

I don’t have the exact numbers right now. But around 1000 grafts, 500 on each side.

Hello, I recently had grafts taken out from my beard in the neck area(20 days ago). Now I got some ingrown hairs. It does not look exactly like a pimple but more like tiny balls under my skin. There is no yellow cap, they are more underground. I already started to inform myself on how to possibly treat them. Keeping the area warm and moist using a towel to soften the skin, do regular peelings, and using and antibiotic ointment which softens the skin, pulls the pus to surface and keeps it antibacterial. Does someone have other more advice on how to treat them? Someone went through the same and it resolved by itself?

Update please….

I tried to make some better close up pictures and will attach them here. Dr.Mwamba was sending me an consultation report where he said I will need 3200 to 3500 grafts by fue shaven, the task will take 4 days to complete. I did reach out to @DrMunibAhmad too, hoping for him to respond soon. What do you think? I will have to get the doubles/multis in the hairline punched out? Or is it best not to do so to reduce trauma/ scaring in that area and just add single grafts? And what do you think about the angles? Depending on the angle you can see a lot of miniaturized hair which I am hoping to thicken up with finasterid. 4 weeks on it now without sides this time, hoping for the best I was running 8k before taking these pics so please excuse my sweaty head😅 It looks way different depending on angle and lighting. Will let them grow now again…and post pictures when they are longer…

@captaincalico im not able to watch. It’s says private video. You guys have the same issue?

Look up these guys on instagram, both had transplant, both had SMP. But like Melvin mentioned before, none of them had a Nw7 pattern before. Both of these guys had bad transplant in turkish hairmills. https://instagram.com/liammcaleese?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== https://instagram.com/zacsmithfitness?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

@A_4_Archan can you please send me a Dm? I tried to reach out to you but can’t. Maybe due to I’m new to this forum. Thank you!
