Regular Member finkfad Posted November 3, 2016 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 3, 2016 hey! great results, how much was the grafts per cm2? 30?40?50? Thanks! To be honest, I didn't quite take note of the surface area. But I think my hair is naturally fairly thick, so it helps to give an illusion of density.

Regular Member ConfusedRose Posted November 3, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted November 3, 2016 Can i ask why you chose fut over fue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member finkfad Posted November 3, 2016 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 3, 2016 Can i ask why you chose fut over fue? Yeah sure! I think three reasons. First is the price. As far as Dr. Path is concerned, FUE is about 2-3 times more expensive per graft. Secondly, I think it was his recommendation that we go FUT to harvest more grafts in one session. Thirdly, I had the feeling he preferred to do FUT in general anyway, vs. FUE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member finkfad Posted December 15, 2016 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 15, 2016 Ah, how is your scar now? Could we see a pic of that? Hi ConfusedRose, sorry for the radio silence, I've been swamped for the past couple of months. I'll try to get you some shots of the scar but I'll have to get my wife to help me.

Regular Member Harebrained Posted December 15, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted December 15, 2016 I really think the conservative approach was the right thing to do here. You have very nice natural coverage with the number of grafts you had. Congratulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member bennyt89 Posted December 26, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted December 26, 2016 keep us posted, you look like you've made amazing progress very happy for you. I'm contemplating going with surgery in Thailand (I'm in Australia and no reputable surgeons here). These results give me great hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member finkfad Posted June 22, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hi friends! I'm sorry to have gone AWOL, has been busy enjoying life with a full head of hair. A picture says more than a thousand words, so here's my update as of 1st June 2017 (59 weeks and 5 days post-op). I'm using Finasteride (5mg cut into 4 pieces) once daily and Rogaine twice daily to maintain existing hairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member finkfad Posted June 22, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 22, 2017 Fantastic progress! That being said, are you going to see Dr Path for a review or .... Dare i say, round 2? I might go back sometime next year to patch up my temples, under certain angles and lighting conditions I can still discern a slight bareness. But my wife and my friends tell me that's completely unnecessary, they can't see anything wrong with my hair now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member voxman Posted June 22, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted June 22, 2017 that's completely unnecessary, they can't see anything wrong with my hair now And neither can I!

I am considering Dr. Path as well for FUT. Question, is your hair diameter very thick and is your hair density abundant too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am considering Dr. Path as well for FUT. Question, is your hair diameter very thick and is your hair density abundant too? Hi friend! Being of Oriental descent, I think my hair diameter by nature is considerably thicker than those of either Caucasian or African origin (One Source). Unfortunately, when it comes to density, mine is not particularly dense. In fact, I would consider it slightly below average amongst other East Asians. But the 'thickness' (diameter of the hair shaft) makes up for it, and I think in my case gives it an illusion of density. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetoofhurts Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Is the 5mg finasteride prescribed by a local GP? That seems the more cost effective way to go. My primary care physician prescribes the generic 1mg version but that still costs more. Until I discovered you don't need a prescription for meds across the causeway..... What can i say...... M'sia boleh :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member finkfad Posted December 10, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 10, 2017 Hey I hope this message managed to find you, It's been 6 months since your last update. Has much changed? Hi Rinaldi! This is me today! I believe it has been 611 days, or 87 weeks, or 20 months since my procedure with Dr. Path. Its been a crazy, complete success from my point of view. Although my temples still look a little sparse under direct light, but nothing too obvious so I'm not too bothered when I look into the mirror. Will I consider a second procedure with Dr. Path to patch up the temples? Sure! But maybe when I am in a lull period at work. Right now things are crazy, but nothing some confidence from having a full head of hair can't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
