Regular Member ytoday Posted July 24, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted July 24, 2010 i recently had my 4th done with the same doctor that performed my 3rd, and im almost certain this one will be a failure just like the 3rd. can you guys please help me out and let me know how soon i can go in for my 5th. i honestly feel robbed of the last year and a half. i had 2600 graphs implanted in and within the hairlin region only(this was to only reinforce the nice hairline i use to have) and ive yet to see and feel and positive and noticeable results. that fact that i've had to keep altering the way i comb my hair has caused much anxiety and frustration to the point where its now begining to effect my job performance. in other words, my hairline that i had when i first went to go see this doctor, was much better than the one i have now. please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member haircut Posted July 25, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted July 25, 2010 If I lived in CA, I would only see Dr. Rassman! Why would you see anyone else in that area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted July 25, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted July 25, 2010 ytoday, Do you have any before and after photos? Who was your doc? How along are you with the 4th procedure? If you are getting strip procedures done then you are probably pretty close to maxing out your donor. You should probably get several doctors to look at you. And Dr. Rassman can deliver good results, but he is not the end-all be-all of hair transplantation. So I'd look around for even more doctors, even out of your area.

Regular Member ytoday Posted July 25, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 25, 2010 im at 5 and half months. i don't wanna say who the doctor is, but ive yet to see or notice a positive change in my hair hairline after two procedures. ive tried to speak to my dr a bunch of times before this, but he never really has any answers outside of using rogaine and laser to expedite the process. he never has any actual reason why, he just keeps suggesting to not stress about it and blahblahblah....but at the end of the day im not seeing anything. my hairline is currently worst than it was at the day of the first procedure with him. can someone or dr help me out. id like to hear something else besides wait and us medication to expedite something that may never grow. i need better answers than those.

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted July 25, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted July 25, 2010 Well, you should see some growth at 5 months but it is still too early to give a final assessment. So waiting at least a full year is something you should do before you go through another procedure. I'm curious if you have been on Propecia (or Finasteride) or not. But that alone will not guarantee good growth from a transplant, actually it has little to do it. But maybe you are losing native hair as well.
