Regular Member Johnathan Edison Tesla Posted May 24, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted May 24, 2022 I have been quoted by Dr.Bicer for 4500 grafts (frontal only) asked to come for second HT After an year to talk about the crown. Dr.Gur says I would need 1500 grafts on frontal area and 1500 grafts on crown. Dr.Turan asked me to wait 6 months on the current medicine Fin0.5mg , min 5%, biotin 1 gel per day Fin has been giving me side effects. Ive been asked to use tropical. Going to try tropical.

Senior Member NARMAK Posted May 24, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted May 24, 2022 Personally i would recommend you wait at least 12 full months to give medication a try and then send updated pictures to get a new evaluation. You could try add Microneedling into the mix and if you are willing to stay committed to it indefinitely too, Minoxodil. I think you would have a very positive response overall however sticking to Minoxodil will require as much commitment almost as topical Finasteride too imo. 1 1 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

Did you start on 1mg and then reduce to the 0.5?, alternative days is a another option. When you say tropical 🏝☀️ I know you mean topical but it did make me smile 😆 Edited May 24, 2022 by J-C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that’ll help? I sure hope to get dense hair. I wish to grow my hair long so I can surf in style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Z-- Posted May 24, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted May 24, 2022 Honestly, I think 4,000 would be solid. Looks like you're a diffuse thinner. I'd do around 2k in the front and 2k in the crown. 4k-5k seems right imo. 3k, I think is too little... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m afraid my donor area might be weak The donor looks below average/bad. You may not like the appearance after 3-4k grafts. Unless you only get haircuts maybe once every 2 months. Some don't care what the back of the head looks like and just want to frame the face better, regardless if the back looks goofy as a result. I've seen it far too often on here and other sites. Just my 2 cents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
