Senior Member Z-- Posted June 10, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 10, 2022 This will probably get you banned here ^^ It's no better than when a doctor only offers a refund or touch-up if someone removes a bad review. It ruins the integrity of the forum tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spring15 Posted June 10, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 10, 2022 I didn't say mention this forum, and also only if they refuse a refund - this result is horrid & OP should be compensated Sadly a lot of companies - including ones I've worked for will only make an effort when their public image has the potential to be tarnished 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely be telling this clinic what you think about this when you are in touch with them next, but I know already what they are going to say (wait until 12 months, wait until 18 months, etc). To be honest it doesn't even look like 1,100 grafts were utilized, let alone 2,200 grafts. My best guess is that your transection rate was high due to poor quality techs extracting and handling the grafts. It could even be the holding solution, etc. Be that as it may, if you do a search on here, you will find a ton of repair cases for the exact situation you are in right now. Spend lots of time researching on here and there is no such this as a stupid question. I'm a repair case myself of the highest order so I know how you must be feeling. Wishing you all the best mate and thanks for sharing! What’s your knowledge of RU58841? I’ve heard that’s another game changer but ofcourse complicating the matter further and it is experimental at the moment - when the transplant was first done it looked great, covered was full and I was happy with everything but stuff happens hey. Thanks for the message, still got a while yet until full results but as someone said earlier it wouldn’t hurt to look and get consultations now. have a good one 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit overhyped honestly. Just like any other oral or topical anti androgen, it won't grow hairs out of nowhere. But it's a good adjunct treatment if you are on on oral 5AR inhibitor in the first place. It can wipe out some remaining androgens in the hair follicles and sometimes thicken up some existing hairs that are miniaturized. Dutasteride + RU58841 + oral minoxidil is probably the strongest stack for hair maintenance that a man can use without risking feminizing sides. I believe its efficacy is comparable to topical Finasteride/Dutasteride. It's very inconvienient to prepare and mix, you never know what you could be getting from those shady websites that sell it. Like I always, they can sell plain flour instead of RU. You never know.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess if I get a dodgy one I can come back to you all in a years time and explain the benefits that flour has on a hair transplant, you’re welcome thanks for the message mate, one of those things knowing I’m doing all I can to help prevent it puts me at ease, if all of this fails I’ll shave and SMP as I enjoy my shaved head look ( see attached) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mafpe Posted June 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2022 it's likely its almost your finished result... so you can do a do over ont he area to fill in the area or do SMP and shave. tbh, i think you look good bald with facial hair like your last photo, so hair or no hair, i think you can rock the look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice would be amazing thank you i had 2,200 grafts placed and no complications post surgery You should wait until 12 months for the full growth to be seen. Then you can think of going for another procedure. It can easily be done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE TRUTH Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Good news is you don't have much hairloss at all mate ! And you caught it early with Dutasteride. That is the most encouraging part. Your hairloss isn't very agressive to be honest. You have still perfect density on the midscalp and crown. Chances are it'll stay the same for many years possibly decades if you stay on Fina/Duta. You are currently Norwood 2 (not even a Norwood 3 yet) so it's just a matter of doing a ton of research, finding the right surgeon and getting it done. As for RU, kaneshop or anageninc are generally where Kevin Mann and Derek get their RU. So I assume these are the most reliable sources...But again some claim it has a poor molecular stability etc...Give it a try if you want. But like I said, it is just a complementary treatment to oral Dutasteride. Certainly not a long term substitute. Maybe fluridil (topilutamide) is a slightly better option. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member SimpleLife Posted June 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2022 I had a botched job too I suggest you do a couple consultations with the best doctors, your case can be solved, atleast you have enough options to do so. You would look great with the SMP, just sayin. Its something I intend to do - completely reversing the HT and doing a SMP & move on w life.

Good luck Yeah it could be a hell of a lot worse so got to be thankful for that haha. Yeah I’m going to see how well RU works for me but if not alot then I’m alright to drop it. Yeah I saw those links but decided to go with receptorchem after hearing good things about theirs ill give fluridil a read into. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about the botched job, I have a guy who’s had one (maybe two) hair transplants and just recently got SMP and he looks so much better after the SMP so it could definitely be the way forward hey goodluck mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member mcr7777 Posted July 5, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted July 5, 2022 Good you can suit a buzz cut well! Do you have any symptoms such as itching/burning on the scalp? These are typical of Lichen Planopilaris (LPP) - which can impact HT results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
