How does my donor area look


Recommended Posts

  • Regular Member

I'm a young diffuse thinner not currently on any medication as I had a very bad reaction from fin and dus separately. Currently, Im happy to trim my hair all the way down to a 0.1 and have some temp SMP done but was thinking if a HT would be possible in the future. Let me know your thoughts guys and as I said earlier I had a bad experience with the meds so please so "get on the fin ASAP" comments.  The pictures are from last week before a hair cut, this is the longest I've grown out my donor area in a very long time. Interested on your thoughts on my donor area so drop some knowledge guys. IMG_1550-1.thumb.jpg.779599b95502643f0fb1c71233e0d1f5.jpg??

Use rogaine on that crown, are you absolutely sure you can't give finasteride another go?

Without it hair loss will inevitably get worse and you'll be chasing it with a finite donor to try and fill in the thinning.

Hair loss patient and transplant veteran. Once a Norwood 3A.

Received 2,700 grafts with coalition doctor on 8/13/2010

Received 2,380 grafts with Dr. Steven Gabel on 9/30/2011

Received 1,820 grafts with Dr. Steven Gabel on 7/28/2016

I see you're in the UK.  Suggest you consider in person consultations with Farjo and the Maitland Clinics.  I think they charge if you want to see a doctor but it's not more than about GBP150.

4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013

1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018

763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020

Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day

I agree with what everyone's assertions, the second pic looks like my scalp and ive had 5,300 grafts extracted. Can you post some clearer pictures?

Who did your temporary SMP?  I'm very interested in this procedure for my Norwood 6 scalp.
