Jake Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Here are my pre-op and immediate post op photos. My procedure was Nov 1, 2 and 3. I had 1090 FUE placed into my front hairline, existing donor scar and crown. I just started Proscar (Finasteride). I got 30 pills (5mg) from Walmart for $9. I split them in 1/2 and take 2.5mg every other day. I also started on 5% Rogaine Foam. I apply it every night. I also plan to start MSM and Saw Palmetto. Now its time to wait and grow! I will try to update my progress in about 6 months with photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member BadBeat Posted January 24, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted January 24, 2012 It seems like this happens a lot. Guys are very active in this forum, promise to show a lot of pics, and then they drop off the face of the earth! I really hope it's because they achieved a great result, aren't as focused on their hair loss anymore, and then don't feel the need to come back to our forum.

Regular Member hairmee Posted December 28, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted December 28, 2012 Jake..... do you have any updates you can give us? Please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member chrisdav Posted December 28, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 28, 2012 Badbeat, it can be what you said or they have had an unsatisfactory result. Hopefully he has a good update. 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK. Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired.
