meibear948 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Hi, I just wanted to share my hair transplant results before the new year. My 12 months was actually a couple of months ago but I was just lazy lol. I wanted to show my pre-surgery and post surgery results. For post-surgery, I am going to show my month 0, 3, 6 and 12. My surgery was FUE with 2500 grafts. Background Information I always had a high forehead since I was born and very insecure about it. I also started suffering from hair loss and noticed my hair getting thinner during my last year of university. I was indecisive about using finasteride for my hair loss until two years ago. After being on it for a year, I noticed that my hair loss was stabilizing. I decided to get a transplant to lower my hairline. I got the transplant at age 26 with Rahal in Ottawa! The reason I got it here even though the costs are high is because I was able to go with family there and it was also during the pandemic so travel was restricted at the time. I was also more comfortable being able to research more about the clinic and he is a very reputable surgeon. Prior to the surgery, I have been taking 1mg of Finasteride for about a year. I am still taking it and it seems to be maintaining hair loss. No other medications/procedures are being used. Rahal recommended me to use minoxidil but I saw no reason since I was getting hair transplanted in areas I did not have natural hair in before.
