Senior Member Joe HT Posted October 5, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted October 5, 2004 Holy crap. Sorry about the HT. There IS supposed to be loss of hair involved after the HT. Shock loss of original hair which may or may not all return, and loss of the actual transplanted hairs. It can take quite a while for it all to grow back in. Propecia, in its early stages of 'effectiveness' is also said to cause some shedding, which should subside. But all this should happen in the first few months, not 7 or more. Maybe (hopefully) you're just coming along slower than average. Some people do, and it just sounds like you may be taking an extra 'cycle' or so for the hair to grow in/recover. I really hope so. Best of luck. Edit: Just realized I'm not a physician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Smoothy Posted October 5, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted October 5, 2004 If you have donor hair, you can get another HT. Most top notch surgeons would suggest to wait 12 months however to allow proper scalp healing donor healing, and regrowth to occur which can take up to 16-18 months for 100%. At this point, 7 months, I would continue the propecia and start conducting scalp excercises in the back donor to loosen the scalp -- do this 15 min every day up until your next HT. If you've had only 1 HT, your probably can do another (many have had as many as 8-9 HT over a period of time depending on donor availability) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member HTcurious Posted October 6, 2004 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 6, 2004 Thanks Smoothy, I hope I have enough donor hair (seems like I have enough to me.)so that I can have a SUCCESSFUL HT. Please let me know more details about scalp excercise. What kind of excercise are these ? any web links/ resource where i can get to know ?
