Regular Member Emerson12 Posted January 29, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted January 29, 2014 In regards to adding density, is it safe to assume that these are smaller procedures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hsrp10 Posted January 29, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 29, 2014 yes in general but it depends on the coverage area to be worked on which area and how many grafts are you considering?

Regular Member Emerson12 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 29, 2014 The frontal half. -- I had approx. 1500 grafts done about 7 yrs ago just distributed throughout. Then about 14 months ago I had approx 1800 grafts in my hairline and temple area. Now the area behind my hairline appears thin. I'm just concerned that I won't achieve consistent density throughout.

Senior Member hsrp10 Posted January 29, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 29, 2014 seems like my case a little, had 2,200 with Dr. Hasson 3 years ago and then 1,500 grafts for hairline density last summer with Dr. Konior. The density thing as we age is tough to maintain. I had stopped Fin for 6 months and thinned out a little behind my transplanted area so got back on it. Have also been looking at SMP options for the illusion of more density, or maybe a small HT procedure to correct one minor area that is bothering me. Density can also be "enhanced" by growing the hair a little longer and combing it back and then when it dries it will layer down and look overall thicker. Can only do this if the frontal hairline is solid though. go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Emerson12 Posted January 29, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks for the feedback. I'd like to post some pictures at some point and get some honest feedback as well. Is there a way to do that? Also, I'm taking 1/4 tablet of Fin and using Rogaine foam and Nizoral shampoo. Is Fin supposed to stop continued loss or just slow it down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Since21 Posted January 30, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2014 My experience with Fin (Propecia) is that it initially halted my hair loss and seemed to actually thicken my hair a bit, then gradually the hair loss resumed, although at a much slower rate. 3,425 FUT grafts with Dr Raymond Konior - Nov 2013 1,600 FUE grafts with Dr Raymond Konior - Dec 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
