Senior Member follically challenged Posted April 4, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 4, 2021 It's rare that i see truly great results of fine, mousey-haired patients. it's actually rare that i see ANY results of these hair characteristics. Perhaps because it is difficult to achieve great results for obvious reasons - more grafts needed for density etc.... Just wondering what suggestions you guys have and if you could link any threads that spring to mind. Again, i have to repeat: i'm looking for EXTREMELY fine haired patients that are either light brown or blonde. I have seen a couple from Dr. Mwamba but I'm now struggling to find many of his threads on this forum. So, any surgeon recommendations that fit that description are welcome! Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 6, 2021 Administrators Share Posted April 6, 2021 I suggest sending some virtual consultations to our approved surgeons and ask them for examples. I’ve seen quite a few examples, a recent case is @TommyLucchese very fine blonde hair. Another case is @voxman @aaron1234is strawberry blonde medium fine hair, and so is @makehairgreatagain 3 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Fine blonde hair isn't an "issue", and those with finer hair most likely have higher hairs/graft which makes up for the caliber somewhat. If your hair caliber is under average, it is true you need more grafts in the same area to achieve coverage. That said, fine blonde hair is the best fine hair to have - least contrast between hair and scalp. Contact some Doctors you like the results of that have had some patients with similar characteristics, they do exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 6, 2021 Administrators Share Posted April 6, 2021 @follically challenged Here’s a good starting point our full galley. We have thousands of before and after photos from all of our recommended surgeons. You can select based on baldness scale. Start looking for similar characteristics and then consult with the doctors that impress you directly from there. https://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Share-info/hairloss-photos-men.asp Heres an example for Dr. Wong this guy has baby soft blonde hair https://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Share-info/hairloss-photos-men.asp?offset=420 2 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

This is my result after Dr Feller. Dr Bloxham has taken over now but the OP here might want to consider him if he likes my result. 2 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week.

Yeah, I feel like the caliber and density are both somewhat lacking in my donor area, but can't be certain til i've met some doctors.

This is just what I was looking for: being able to deal with such 'baby hair'. I always figured if i went with H&W I'd choose Hasson as i'd seen more of his results, but this patient's work now makes me question my original feeling... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just waiting for the Covid shit to die down a bit and then i intend to start getting some expert opinions from up close With good photos a Doctor can get a pretty decent "picture" of how your donor is. I had an in person consultation years ago, and the Dr said my donor was ok, probably average - maybe thinner parietal and temporal area (because you could see scalp on a grade 2/ 6mm haircut) around 60g/cm^2, but my occipital looked definitely better around 100cm^2. Hair caliber was average, there are enough 2's and 3's hair grafts. I went away from it thinking I was probably average, or slightly below average. In bad photos photos with another Dr this year, he said "your parietal and temporal areas look like they could be thinner, but occipital looks better, so hopefully this is confirmed in person". Met him in person before surgery, and he confirmed the original consultation, with solid average caliber (55microns), and hairs/graft were more like 2.5 - 2.9, and then I felt confident that I was at least an average candidate, definitely not under average.

Peace of mind I tend to agree. I remember I sent Dr. Konior several photos, videos, and once I flew out to meet him in person, he said that everything I submitted to him was pretty spot on, and that there were no surprises. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.
