Compared to some of the atrocious cases we have seen, this one has a lot of potential to improve.

Oh, now I understand…they want to help you resolve your concerns. IMHO, they would need to implant enough single hair grafts between and slightly ahead of where the multiple hair grafts are visually obvious and unnatural appearing. They also just need to add more density by raising the grafted level to at least a minimum of 40cm2 in the weak areas behind your new hairline…it may take more than that depending what that regrowth looks like.

Thanks for sharing some pics…now look at your paperwork, specifically the surgery contract that was signed by yourself and the clinic…unless the contract specifically states a defined result such as a hairline constructed with solely single hair grafts and a defined level of grafted density that can be measured, things like that, it will be practically impossible to prove any negligence or breach. And although I do agree with your concerns, there does not appear to be any willful damage or negligence…why do I say that?…because most jurisdictions define surgical hair restoration as cosmetic surgery which is “subjective” in nature and the outcome can and will vary. Once you read your contract, you will undoubtedly see that it is worded in such a way that makes it extremely difficult hold the clinic accountable.

There are various sleeping aids that are non-narcotic and over-the-counter but you would need a place that is open to purchase them…also contact the clinic where you had your procedure to see what they recommend.

You will need to share some pics with us in order for us to see your concerns.

No kidding?…I did not know you used hair extensions…my own hair is too short to wear them.

Because we cannot see beneath the scalp, we won’t know how many grafts survived until the regrowth manifests.

I did not know they opened a clinic in Israel…I never heard of Dr. Zenaty so you have some research homework to do.

Totally agree.

There’s no question that surgeon skill along with outstanding artistic merit is paramount in producing the end result that not only maximizes visual coverage but also accentuates the individual’s hairline design accounting for age appropriate density and anticipated points of recession unique to him.

The psychological benefits have never left me as I get older.

Some dyes contain peroxide which is also toxic on the scalp and hair.

I could not agree more, Accutane and Hts are incompatible.

For me, I would rather invest in something that has a long history of proven effectiveness.

Both are factors to consider in attaining the illusion of coverage.

I sincerely hope you have good success with it.

Yes many clinics will be willing to take your money at 9 months post-op but since you have already made a large financial investment in the 4200 graft procedure, you owe it to yourself to have a microscopic examination of the entire recipient area to ascertain if there are any more new hair coming through…why risk transecting any of the transplanted hair even though the recent months show slowed growth?

I have used MSM for approximately 6 months consistently but did not feel it made any difference.

I used to think that too however the average graft contains 2.3 hair shafts and since that number is low, the peripheral thickness of each hair shaft is imperatively critical in providing optimal visual coverage.

I also am looking forward to seeing your progress pictures especially your hairline!

Dark colored hair shafts will reflect more UV light off of the scalp and just tend to look more thin.

You have lots of good questions relative to your decision to switch to DUT from low dose finasteride…the best truthful answers to any of them are: you won’t know how you will respond until you make the switch. Yes you could have new or more side effects however it’s less likely because you have a long ingestion period with finasteride…the same goes with the possibility of an acute shed cycle, you may have some shedding but IMHO, not acute. Most of the guys that I have dialogued with who have switched from FIN to DUT did not experience a drastic difference, a small percentage of them felt it made a huge difference in curbing their hair loss but most of them just maintained which was still a success…thicker hair?…nothing that was noticeable. In all honesty, we are lay people so your questions regarding the best path to make the transition regarding dosage and frequency of ingestion can only be answered by a licensed physician, a hair loss specialist who is experienced with the medicinal treatment side of hair loss.

Singh, you have plenty of time to plan everything.

At this point you just have to let your hair grow and repair itself, adding anymore chemicals or color will prove to be counterproductive.

Brother, your result is very good.
