Regular Member squarepatch Posted March 20, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted March 20, 2020 Dear forum members Would love to hear thoughts on the quality of my donor. I appear to be some kind of patterned (crown and temple) and unpatterend (thinning all over the head, but particularly the mid scalp) hair loss. I jumped on fin 1mg 2 months ago and understand it's too early for any kind of result at this stage. But am definitely keen for HT by the end of the year. My big concern is the quality and quantity of my donor. Not too sure if I am a HT candidate given the overall thinning and the area that needs to be covered. O have a massive head by the way... I am also eastern Asian, not very good density and have no beard or body hair to donate for a HT. Added a few pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 20, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 20, 2020 It's difficult to say with pictures alone. Where do you live? I would suggest going to a surgeon in person for an evaluation. I don't see anything particularly worrying from these pictures. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Regular Member squarepatch Posted March 20, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 20, 2020 Thanks Melvin. I am in Australia and there doesn't appear to be any recommended surgeons or IAHRS members in the country. Most recommendrd doctors also dont travel to australia for consultation. What do you suggest as the best way to move forward? I am happy to travel for the HT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you suggest as the best way to move forward? I am happy to travel for the HT Dr Russell Knudsen. Look him up. He does a great YouTube series on hair restoration. He is very knowledgeable. Can’t speak to his skill as a surgeon, but doing a consultation with him might be helpful. He’s in Double Bay, NSW. Good luck!

I know a lot of surgeons are doing skype consultations. My suggestion is to consult with as many as possible, so you can get a good assessment with several professional opinions. Send as many consultations as possible https://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Consult-a-Physician/hair-transplant-surgeons.asp I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Rolandas Posted March 22, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 22, 2020 Stick with Finasteride and book few live consultations for them to check your donor properly. 1st FUE - 28/01/2020 - 3659 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira 2nd FUE - 03/06/2021 - 2881 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira Follow me on YouTube I'm not a medical professional, thus any information given by me is my own observation and should not be treated as professional advice.

Senior Member bismarck Posted March 29, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 29, 2020 Give the fin several months to a year to process before you even think of seeing a surgeon. Your frontal hairline may not do much but your crown could evolve dramatically. Also think of keto/minox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
