What percentage of the redistributed grafts are expected to grow?

It's claims sound bogus to me, but I hope that someone tries it and has a positive result.

Dr. Feller,

With twins, Spex will need a healthy pay raise, in Euros. Congratulations to Spex on a joyous occasion.

You should research the effect it has on your liver and other organs. And there is the risk that if you go on TRT you can cause additional hairloss. I'm not sure that the risk of hairloss with TRT can be eliminated by finasteride. At a minimum, you should consult with a physician who specializes in this area of medicine.

I agree with Dr. Feller about the laser, but his post is obnoxious and egotistical.

I've never heard a 20 year old man refer to himself as a "young boy." There's no question Finasteride can adversely impact your libido, but it seems like you may have some other issues to deal with. Illegal drug use will only bring you misery.

Has anyone purchased and used generic propecia from an online pharmacy? Generic is much cheaper.

Maybe try it every other day. If you're feeling a dropoff at the age of 26, chances are something is happening and it's probably the medication.

Crewguy28,

Can you explain that a little more? Enlarged chambers of the brain from Propecia?

I had the pleasure of meeting Bushy, Biscuit, Hairnow and a prospective patient in Los Angeles last night. Bushy, Biscuit and Hairnow are Hasson & Wong patients and their results were great. We discussed the finer points of hair loss and compared results. It was fun.

It's the propylene glycol that the minoxidil is mixed with that's causing your scalp irritation. Use a different formulation, that's alcohol free, and that should fix it.

Dr. Umar is a board certified dermatologist in Redondo Beach.

Any surgery, whether FUE or strip, will produce an unacceptable outcome if performed by a hack. This type of result shouldn't surprise anyone.

I'd take a look at Dr. Paul McAndrews, he's in Pasadena and Beverly Hills.

It can definitely cause problems, I almost passed out a couple of times because my blood pressure dropped too much from using it. See another doctor, probably a cardiologist.

Go see a board certified dermatologist and get the cause of your loss diagnosed. Make the most of your life, don't allow yourself to become depressed about hairloss.

I had about 800 graphs placed in the mid-scalp and along where I part my hair. I also started taking Avodart.

I had chest and arm hair transplanted to my scalp last week. Previously, I had chest and abdominal hair moved up on top with a good cosmetic result.

While I was having work done, I talked with a patient who had his hairline rebuilt with chest hair. This guy was having additional chest hair placed in his strip scars to camoflauge them.

Dr. True is right. In the right circumstances, body hair can help make a big difference.

Dr. Beehner,

Thank you for the answer.

How can you have 133% survival of the chubby grafts? It's either 100% or some percentage lower than that. Please explain.

I think the truth is we don't know with certainty. I think the prudent thing to do is stay off the drug if you're having sex, until your wife delivers your child. You cannot trust the pharmaceutical companies to tell you everything, in my opinion. Look at what's just happened with Vioxx and Celebrex.

You need to be a little more specific about what happened. How many grafts did you have planted over your 5 surgeries, spread how far apart in terms of time? What is a bubble insertion in the scar?

If I were you, I wouldn't do anything without getting multiple opinions from doctors of the highest reputation. If you've been damaged, don't rush into anything.

Where did the new growth occur? Was it in the crown. I have heard of cases where growth did not occur until over a year after the HT.

It's about $7,700. a session. Basically a session goes from the morning until late into the night. The beauty of it is that you can have hair even if you have no donor area left to work with (very rare), provided you have body hair.
