Regular Member Ben123 Posted July 9, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 9, 2021 Hi looking for opinions I seem to have a small patch of thinning area which I circled in the pics that I noticed last month or so on the donor area but not where extractions took place and also on my temple in the same side while the other side had no change. Waiting on an answer from the clinic on what they think but Dr.Hasson is away for a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that I have retrograde alopecia on the sides and near my temples. Have you asked the H&W clinic about it yet? Yeah I asked but Dr.Hasson is away for a few weeks so they said he will get back to me then. I also don't think its due to the hair transplant. Its weird it suddenly showed up only on 1 side last month when my donor area was always super strong, never though I'd have to worry about my donor area.

Senior Member Sean Posted July 15, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2021 Some folks have slight density losses in that area as is and it is natural. You can try, after talking to your doctor, a little rogain foam to stimulate growth. Some people general itch that area or twist hairs there out if habits, wearing glasses also compresses that zone with traction little bit too.

Yeah but its just on 1 side and appeared suddenly around a month and a half ago so don't think it's any of the things you listed (don't wear glasses or itch/twist the area) as for rogain I waa advised by Dr.Hasson to not use it but I will ask him about it for that area. Thanks for the reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re in Vancouver Dr. Hasson can probably give you a steroid injection. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member pkipling Posted August 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 5, 2021 I'm not sure if the small patch by your temple has resolved itself yet or not, but holy smokes - your results are so incredible that it almost doesn't matter. Your hair looks fantastic, and I doubt anyone would even notice the small bit of thinning that you see. 1 I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA.

Regular Member Ben123 Posted September 17, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 17, 2021 10 months updates I got a buzz cut last month so didn't update, regarding the small patch it has filled in and hoping it stays that way lol. Added a pic from a different angle which shows the weaker area and a pic of the crown which I booked a 2nd surgery with Dr.Hasson to address the crown on march 2022, he recommends 2000 grafts for my crown area not sure about the mid scalp was told its just for the crown area and under the impression he thinks the mid scalp is fine as it is and no need to address it at this point.

Regular Member Ben123 Posted September 18, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 18, 2021 Yeah I'm on finasteride for about a year and 2 months now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Otar Norwood Posted September 20, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted September 20, 2021 Thank you so much for sharing! Please keep updating. Also, you might think about switching to dutasteride if your hair loss keeps progressing, it really put everything on freeze for me. Otherwise you're filling a bucket of sand with a hole in the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member stephcurry30 Posted December 5, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted December 5, 2021 What a great result!. I'm thrilled for you. From the after photos it doesn't seem like you need another hair transplant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
