FUE for dencity -- new commer

[fullhair]

Hello all,

 

I've read some of the QA that seemed relevant to me, however since this is critical, I would like to verify my understanding.

 

I'll post pictures soon, but for now:

* I have full hair set.

* the dencity of my hair on top of my head is lower than that of the sides of my head.

 

I can still manage to fix my appearance by a hair style.

 

however, I would love to get my fully dense hair back and I'm thinking to do FUE just to fill it up slightly.

 

my biggest concern is:

* injecting transplanted hair may kill surrounding native hair. for example, if I transplant 1 hair, and kill 4 surrounding hairs.

 

What I couldn't find is:

* is there any measurements that indicate the safe distance between the injected transplanted hair, so that it is known to be less likely to kill surrounding native hair?

* How frequent is it to screw up native hair?

 

could someone answer these please?

It is possible to lose surrounding native hair after a transplant if it is miniaturized. It's called shock loss.

 

However, if you are on propecia and go to a quality surgeon then the risk is reduced substantially.

thank you for your prompt response.

 

what if I don't go with propecia (due to side effects)? would my hair still re-grow post the shock loss time window? is there a percentage loss?

 

I also hear that using propecia, alone without FUE, can cause some new hair grow. except that it may cause permanent sexual disfunction for some cases (even after discontinuing it)

You can also have shock loss if the hair is not miniaturized if the hair that is being transplanted is too close to a densely packed area of native hair. So it really depends on your photos for us to determine what course of action is best for you.

appologies for the delay..

 

i've taken photos in three stages:

 

 

• pre-shower: semi-oily hair.

• post-shower: wet hair.

• semi-dry hair.

• full-dry hair (using hair dryer)

 

they are below:

Any ethical surgeon would turn you down for a hair transplant. You have way too much hair to be worrying with surgery right now. You still look as if you have almost a full head of hair. Finasteride would be PERFECT for someone like you. Don't be scared of side effects, you won't know until you try. If taking it daily causes sides, then taking it every other day or even Monday-Wednesday-Friday works just as well. Give it a shot, as you are in a great position to maintain and/or regrow!

[Thehairupthere]

You are not a candidate, which is a good thing because you have a lot of hair. The only thing you should do at this point is use some preventative medications like rogaine and propecia, which can also regrow and strengthen your native hair. Transplantation would actually cause more harm than good in your case because you simply don't need it.

I see..

 

what about B Complex? any hope to get good results from it?

 

I'm thinking to start with B Complex first (it has lower side effects). if B Complex doesn't work, I'll then move on to Finasteride (rogaine/propecia).

 

How is that likely to work? Did anyone experience positive results by B Complex?

 

Thanks in advance for your time and efforts.

[Thehairupthere]

Vitamin B complex is not likely to help you with your hair. If you have a deficiency that's one thing, but rogaine and propecia will help you.

Is it true that propecia can cause prostate cancer?

 

I know it causes some forms sexual disorders, that might go away once stopped (or arguably they may be not reversable as some people say). But the cancer thing seems far more dangerous.

 

Is this cancer thing real? or is it kind of mobile-cell-phones-cause-cancer argument?

[Thehairupthere]

No that is not true. It actually helps prevent it as it shrinks the prostate, but they say that if you actually develop prostate cancer for other reasons that the medication may cause it to be more severe, but again it does not cause the cancer.

[fullhair]

I see. It seems shrinking prostate makes it less annoying, which might contribute into delaying health checkups; that's all. Which might lead people to conclude that Propecia is that cause (while it isn't). Makes sense to me.

 

Thank you very much. I will get my 1st Propecia pills, and hope my hair regrows, or at least keep it as it is for many years to come.

Pretty much. There's been no reports of it... just speculation that not everyone agree's with.

Judging from the close-ups you provided, I can't see any definite signs of hairloss at all. Your hair looks to be of a greater density than in many men with absolutely no hairloss. There's simply no room for grafts to be planted.
