PFUEconsul Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Hello everyone, I would like to ask for your expert opinion regarding the cover of my crown area. I already had 3 FU procedures, I dont think the success rate was any significant and although I have coverage, there's marked thinking of hair. The crown area got almost no grafts before and I strated to have more thining of this area and I am keen to have it covered. However, my donor area is not ideal due to my previous 3 procedures. Also last procedure got 500 grafts from beard. Few of the recommended surgeons advised to continue medical treatment and no further surgery recommended, while another one recommended BHT and mentioned that no guarentee for the number of survival of transplanted grafts, also in a very high fees, as I am a difficult patient, as they described me. Another one mentioned 1500 can be taken, all scalp. Would you advise if BHT would be recommended, scalp or if micropigmentation can increase the density in general in the donor area and crown?

Senior Member Britanium Posted July 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2022 Hi 👋 Welcome to the forum ! Who did you choose for the previous 3 Procedures ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFUEconsul Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 Many thanks. First 2 in Turkey, 1800 and 2000 (definitily more than half are lost), last one in India 1500. Last one by someone who was recommended in the forum but luckily not anymore ! I am hestitated: BHT, continue one more scalp and risk overharvesting the donor area or micropigmentation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted July 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2022 Have you consulted with Eugenix ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFUEconsul Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 I did, they advised at first that 1700 will be required and all from scalp. Then they re-evaluated the pcitures and advised I will need to take Finesteride for 1 year then reconsult. which I started, however, it is debatable to take finesteride before surgery, as some surgeons ask to stop medical treatement before any procedure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people could say you can stop it just for a few days while getting it done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m asking as a new member has been enquiring about him, and for me he isn’t the decent choice he once was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugenix Hair Sciences Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Greetings of the day @PFUEconsul Finasteride is advisable if you have thin hairs, you can see drastic improvement after taking finasteride, probably in one year. It can improve the donor area’s quality like anything. it can stop the miniaturization on the crown and can reduce the number of grafts required. If you want to go for Hair transplant, my initial advise will be continue with Finasteride first at least for 6-8 months, then get your evaluation done again. Any more query, please send me a personalized text and I will be happy to assist you. Regards, Eugenix Hair Science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted July 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2022 Eugenix would definitely be a very good choice imo for you’re specific needs. I can’t think of someone else that’s as skilled for incorporating/utilising Beard grafts (along with scalp) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFUEconsul Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 Many thanks for all the replies. I have been taking finesteride for 3 months now again after stopping it for 1 year after last procedure. I was thinkning about micropigmentation in meantime but probably it wont be a good idea at the time being and I'd rather wait for few more months to see Finesteride's effect.

Senior Member GoliGoliGoli Posted July 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 30, 2022 Damn sorry to hear that mate. I would think after 3 HT's of 5300 grafts you'd have better coverage. All 3 places you went weren't' very reputable you said? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
