jnhair Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi! I have been losing hair for about 8 years now and considering getting FUE done.. a doc here in Dubai suggested strip but I dont want to live with a scar.. do you guys think 1500-2000 FUE will give me some density in the front.. initially i was thinking getting 800 fue done and waiting to see how that turns out.. will 800 fue bring any difference.. thanks!!

jnhair Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 i forgot to mention..i just turned 27 and have been taking propecia for about 6 months now.. i feel it has slowed down my loss considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dutch Posted June 6, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted June 6, 2011 Howdy. I would give propecia at least another 6 months & perhaps use mino too? Pics are not the best quality, but I'd say you need at least 2k grafts for the first 3rd. 800 is not enough, especially when the success rate of the grafts surviving through FUE is not that high. http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=2329 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Thehairupthere Posted June 6, 2011 Senior Member Share Posted June 6, 2011 800 FUE seems a bit conservative probably need closer to 1500-2000 grafts to give you the density that you are looking for. Definitely continue using propecia and it may be a good idea to wait 6 more months to see how you are reacting to the medication closer to one year as many people see new growth around that time.

jnhair Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 thanks for replying.. i guess i shud wait it out as you guys suggested..probably start minox too.. i feel it gives me really itchy scalp and flaking..but wat the hell..if it saves some strands..probably worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanav Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 dear as far as my opinion is concerned you need around 2000-2500 grafts for a good density....and prabdeep sohi is a very good surgen and economical too....even m considering a ht by fue in april....i meet some of his patients and they have amazing results....
