Regular Member Ndav Posted September 1, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted September 1, 2021 I have been considering a hair transplant for a few years, and finally decided I was ready to do it ,in the last 8 monthes i use minoxidil combined with fin and my hairloss stopped and my hair got fuller. I have very small hair follicles in some places in my head where I want to undergo a transplant. Can the transplant be absorbed, in places where there are thin hair follicles? Is there a chance that the thin hair follicles that have appeared will turn into normal thick hair? In addittion one more question. I was told that my donor area is not optimal, not dense enough, what do you think Go for the transplant? ? Or try something else? I d like your help. Thanks alot!!!

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted September 1, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted September 1, 2021 At this stage I would stick with the meds. It can take up to 2 years to see the full benefits of finasteride. It may continue to improve your donor area as a result. I would not be rushing in to have surgery at this point. All the best.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted September 1, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted September 1, 2021 Ok. Finasteride oral can and does help in the crown (specifically in the bottom of the crown). It also helps the donor region hair also. Perhaps if you apply it in the donor region you may see benefits there. All the best.

I'm just against Australia's ban on overseas travel. I'm waiting to have my surgery with Eugenix in India. At this stage it looks like it won't be until April 2022. By then I will have waited for over two years. But as I recommend to others here on the forum the worst thing you can do is to have a hair transplant based solely on geography.

Regular Member Ndav Posted September 1, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 1, 2021 Tnx buddy, I wish you that the Australian Government restrictions will pass quickly , Btw, Why in India?

Senior Member Britanium Posted September 1, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted September 1, 2021 Your donor area does not look like it can give any grafts unfortunately. FUE would really thin out the area even further. How is your beard/body hair ? Although you do need some scalp grafts to mix/supplement it. Which clinic have you been consulting with ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My body hair is thin, my beard is not thick either. I conulted dr cinic, dr zrihan, and hdc. Hdc told me I'm probably not qualified , Dr cinic, and Dr Z rihrn clinics told me with my beard it will be ok. I just want to fill my tampelates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chose Eugenix Health Science as I am a Norwood 6 and they practically specialize in high hair loss patients. They're in India so that's where I'm heading! As a side note, choosing a hair transplant based solely on price and location is a situation fraught with regrets. All the best!

You could get a consultation with someone particularly skilled such as Dr Bisanga and Eugenix, also try Vertex @DrTBarghouthithese are all very ethical Drs who will give you a very honest answer ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTBarghouthi Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Thanks for the mention @JohnAC71 May I ask what age are you currently? I do agree that the donor is quite below average. I would tend to advise using finasteride for some time and assess gradual improvement. We do need to slow down your diffuse thinning on top my friend. 1 Dr. Taleb Barghouthi approved and recommended on the Hair Transplant Network. You can schedule a virtual consultation with me here.
