If you are going to remove them, I would start small, beginning in the back with 5-10 plugs and see how it turns out. I say start in the back, because it will be easier to conceal. The plugs will be dissected to recycle the grafts contained within the plugs. Maybe look into silicone scar cream to try and limit the scarring. I have seen examples of plug removal by Dr. Bernstein in New York and Dr. Gabel in Portland that I thought were quite good. A number of years ago I had micro and mini-grafts removed because they were becoming more obvious as my native hair receded. I regret that I wasn't more agressive in removing the old style grafts.

They do not use a scalpel, they use a biopsy punch. You should do everything you can, in conjunction with the surgeon, to minimize the scarring and heal as best as possible.

How can you expect a doctor to guarantee a result?

I suggest you have the more obvious plugs removed, which means a large punch would be used to remove them. The extraction holes can be sutured or skin can be grafted into the holes to minimize the scarring.

This is craziness to consider removing a transplant 6 months after surgery.

IMO, no one should transplant their crown in their 20s.

If you go to the right doctor, he can take a video camera and look at your scalp under magnification to see if your hair is miniaturizing in certain areas, to see if you have mpb. I'll defer to someone with more knowledge, but normally a scalp biopsy would not be done just because someone's hair was thinning. There is no blood test that will indicate whether you will keep your hair or lose it. 5'7, 110 lbs is very thin. It is highly unlikely that there is any relationship between your weight and your hair, but in the interest of overall health and well being, why don't you try having one additional meal each day and a multi-vitamin.

It's unlikely. Are you going to see a second doctor for an evaluation? How tall are you and how much do you weigh?

A hair loss cure, even a partial cure, would make big money due to the number of balding men on the planet.

Yes, many men use it to treat an enlarged prostate. I think it has no value in stopping hair loss.

"That’s quite the assumption, let’s not assume anything about anyone without getting the facts first please." I am not assuming anything. He wrote, 'I’m really skinny like borderline anorexic and I have a very bad diet basically to the point if I don’t change my weight I can progress into more serious health issues..." There is reason to be concerned about Gman1's health. A 20 year old with the issues described should be getting professional assistance.

Have you seen a psychologist about your anorexia? That's something you should address right away.

There is no good reason for extracting grafts from only one side of the scalp.

I found him. Did you notice any side effects? I would prefer to find the liposomal formula but it appears that it's not available in the U.S.

What doctor do you buy it from?

I'd like to get buy either one.

Sure, I am interested. It would make no difference to me if it came from Greece or Italy, so long as it works. Do you know what the difference is, if any, between topical finasteride and liposomal finasteride?

I would like to find a way to buy the liposomal finasteride produced by an Italian company. I've heard that it is effective.

Try pumpkin seed oil. There's a legitimate study out there that states it helps reduce hair loss.

The problem with larger punches and doctors that are not skilled at extracting FUE grafts is that they kill grafts adjacent to the grafts they are extracting, donor damage. If I were you I would get in line and have Konior do your next transplant.

Dr. Rahal ought to be able to freely discuss lovinit19's treatment since lovinit is ripping on him. .

Hassan & Wong are easily the best of the group of doctors you have listed.

Swimming pools can be full of bacteria depending on how well they are cleaned and treated with chemicals.

Sorry, an area of the scalp that is lacking hair does not grow and fill in over the course of one month.
