Senior Member cueball35 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 25, 2014 Hey mate, Hey mate! I am considering taking the plunge; however, I have a large are to cover, unfortunately, being a diffused NW5 going on NM6, according to Dr. Bisanga. I also have medium-fine hair, so any work done would need to be quite conservative. I'm still in the process of consulting with different doctors. I'm 29 now, so I may wait around 5 years before having any work done. Rogaine has also helped quite a lot for me, and it seems as if though my hair loss has slowed down quite a bit. Unfortunately, Propecia just gave me terrible side effects. Good idea to wait mate, hopefully you wont get to norwood 7 status, if you stay at the 5 or 6 then you should be able to get a nice hairline and decent coverage in the midscalp, the crown is a whole different ballgame though! Ive gone back on propecia over the past few months, taking small doses, 0.5mg a day and more recently 0.25mg a day, i seem to be able to tolerate it better with these doses 4510 FUSS Dr Feriduni December 2012 2350 FUSS Dr Feriduni December 2013 HT 1:Total Grafts 4510: Singles 715, Doubles 2123, Triples 1369, Quads 303 ( 10,280 Hairs ) HT 2:Total Grafts 2352: Singles 350, Doubles 1601, Triples 401, ( 4,755 Hairs ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member cueball35 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2014 hi guys, coming on to 12 months post op now, took a quick snap to compare big improvement from pre op but will obviously need more grafts to shrink the crown even more, looking into Fue now at the moment, probably 1500-2000 grafts if its possible The crown is a tough area to treat, 2352 grafts were put into mine , all spread out over a large balding area, hopefully my journey gives guys out there an idea of what to expect if you wish to get a crown hair transplant in the future Im happy with the work, looks very natural, ive come a long long way from norwood 5/6 territory and also having very fine straight hair. Before i started on my journey I felt i'd need 8000/9000 grafts , 2 strips and an fue was the plan, almost there now! 4510 FUSS Dr Feriduni December 2012 2350 FUSS Dr Feriduni December 2013 HT 1:Total Grafts 4510: Singles 715, Doubles 2123, Triples 1369, Quads 303 ( 10,280 Hairs ) HT 2:Total Grafts 2352: Singles 350, Doubles 1601, Triples 401, ( 4,755 Hairs ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member ontop Posted November 24, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2014 Good on you mate... Give it time & maybe just maybe just fill in the gaps & more important to preserve what you have left & this will also protect your investment.. I rem you saying you had some sides last time so maybe take EOD How long you been on it buddy? Top of the morning to ya matey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member cueball35 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2014 I dont think fin will fill in the gaps, hopefully it will preserve what i have left and the crown doesnt expand I had pretty bad sides back in 2013, i was taking finpecia at that time, 1mg a day Ive been on the real deal (propecia) for probably 6 months now, started off with tiny doses and in the last few weeks ive upped it to 1mg a day, sides are minor, watery semen mostly, not ideal but i'll see how it goes p.s. nobody says 'top of the morning to ya' over here well, only the leprechauns lol 4510 FUSS Dr Feriduni December 2012 2350 FUSS Dr Feriduni December 2013 HT 1:Total Grafts 4510: Singles 715, Doubles 2123, Triples 1369, Quads 303 ( 10,280 Hairs ) HT 2:Total Grafts 2352: Singles 350, Doubles 1601, Triples 401, ( 4,755 Hairs ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ontop Posted November 24, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted November 24, 2014 Well that's good that your on something mate ,something is better than nothing. I only been on Fin last 2mths & morning wood just shows up say 4 or 5 mornings a wk if I'm lucky.... No probs on down below sex wise... touch wood LOL I do find my self wanting to pee more i think but looking at what sides effects these drugs can do, I think i can deal with it so far. us baldies haven't got many options but holding on hope there be a game changer one day that better Meds will be for all of us with little to nothing sides. Happy growing mucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
