Regular Member andrew11 Posted November 24, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone ! I went to get my 3003 graft FUT done at Dr.Rahals clinic last July, the experience was amazing and i cant say enough great things about the team there ! Highly recommend to anyone thinking of getting the procedure done. Here is my month to month progress. I will post pre op to now in order (currently 4.5 months post op) thanks everyone 🙂 Edited November 24, 2020 by andrew11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 25, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 25, 2020 I thought Dr. Rahal stopped doing FUT. We're you a special case? I feel like Dr. Rahal should still at least perform some FUT's. He had some of the best results I'd ever seen here with FUT.

Regular Member johnto Posted November 25, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted November 25, 2020 Curious why did you choose FUT over FUE? And how old are you and do you take any meds at all? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no he still does FUTs , the waiting game has been the hardest but patience is key. Hopefully every month sees great improvement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has healed quite well and i actually do not even hide it ! I have been on finasteride for 10 months now, i feel like i have stabilized but unfortunately no regrowth... i have been thinking about dutasteride but will only go there once i feel finasteride is no longer effective. I notice much less hairs in the shower since starting. I am 25 years old ! Edited November 25, 2020 by andrew11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's done that much probably better to stick to it rather than go on Dutasteride. Dutasteride may have greater sides which can also last longer. Try combining with Minoxidil instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah for sure i was on rogaine foam as well for 10 months. I even continued using for 2 and a half months after my transplant on the transplanted area but decided to stop it all together. It was recommended to take it after the transplant as well but gave it up about 10 weeks post op. I started using the rogaine last November uniquely on the crown as im a nw3v with crown thinning although it isnt that bad yet. I did not get any regrowth on the big 3 (fin,min and niz) but i suspect that finasteride has been doing its job well as im the same hair wise as last year. Actually all of my loss occured at 21 to 22 and has stayed the same since. (I am now 25) I am interested in dutasteride as finasteride has not given me any sides and i am content with it. Alot have gotten regrowth on switching to dut ! Ultimately the best course of action maybe to switch to dutasteride when i notice further loss Edited November 26, 2020 by andrew11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
