Should I undergo a transplant, or is it better to wait?


Recommended Posts

I am undecided on weather to undergo a hair transplant or wait another year or two...

 

I worry that a HT right now may damage the hair I already have, and the density may not be any better then where I am now (I dont know what exactly is possible w a HT)?

 

What do you guys think, especially those members who have undergone FUT/E in the past? If yes, how many grafts would I need?

 

current regime: topical fin/minox @ night, and minox foam in the AM.

Wayyyyy too soon for HT! You got years to wait.

4 months ago I had a patient in your condition, he went to clinic in Turkey, they botched his front with regression and depleted his, then I he asked me for a repair and we did him 1000 grafts for his hair line, he was barley Norwood 2.

Yes I would definitely not have a hair transplant. Especially at this stage. How long have you been on finasteride/minoxidil for? I would definitely stay on these two drugs and assess their outcome after 8-12 months. Their are plenty of vloggers on YouTube that have obtained fantastic results from minoxidil use alone. Remember you can always have a hair transplant 'tomorrow.' Learn from my mistakes and all the best!

Invest in some dermmatch and fibers instead, you’ll be good on that for years, once you’ve lost ground, look into HTs again.
