It's looking great. As for protocol, was just one pill a day, for 3 months. The pill, if I'm not mistaking had 2.5mg of Cialis, 2.5mg of Viagra, and it also had 5mg of minoxidil + arginine. If you really want to know, I can look for what the Arginine dosage was, although I think it was 5mg. Thanks so much for responding. Did you start taking the medication on the day of the surgery? Also if you can look up the exact dosage that would be amazing. I think it would be great to have that kind of information "eternalized" on this forum for perfectionist folks like us who like to give themselves any possible edge. Or doctors who are looking to get even better results for their patients. Even if there's no empirical data showing effectiveness, it's nice to know the exact amounts so it may be iterated upon in the future.

I'm pretty sure I'm correct on those dosages. 1 Check out my journey here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member alopeciaphobia Posted July 27, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted July 27, 2023 Just a totally random thought. This makes me wonder if regular cardio or whole foods plant-based diets would improve graft survival rates after surgery. Because both are really effective in making/keeping arteries healthy.

That likely helped making those insanely densely packed grafts take hold. Probably another reason why your specific case isn't achievable for everyone!

David Goggins, extremely healthy and fit is bald. @Fue3361 would love to see an update bro 🙏 David Goggins has an extremely stressful lifestyle, notice all of the cold plunge, ultra marathon, super “fitness” people have either little or no hair. It’s well understood that stress (both physical and mental) is detrimental to both hair and general health - hence why even natural bodybuilders tend to die earlier, and sadly the cyclists in my family died very premature heart related deaths (44, 51 and 52 years old, perfect “health”, plant based diets - which we now know, based on our gastrointestinal tract length and ph of our stomachs, is far from our natural, optimal diets) I don’t mean to force an opinion or otherwise, and take what I’ve written with zero credibility as I honestly don’t want to seem like I have an agenda, I simply want users to know the risks involved with high stress lifestyles and how moderate activity and happy healthy relationships combined with a natural diet (lots of meat + seasonal fruits and occasional vegetables) will increase your life and healthspan as well as ensure that you have your well earned head of hair for as long as possible. Feel free to delete this post if it is in any way controversial, again, I don’t wish to persuade anyone of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Fue3361 Posted September 6, 2023 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 6, 2023 Asked some acquaintances who have not seen me in 2+ years what they think of my new hairstyle (had it in a tight ponytail). They told me it’s much better than before, and that I should have always had it like this instead of bangs since my hairline frames my face so well and because I “dont suffer from hairloss”. They don’t know that I had a HT. What a great compliment that was. Check out my journey here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member mxnprettynice Posted September 7, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted September 7, 2023 @Fue3361 Your hair transplant looks outstanding, very similar of James Franco's, especially the work on the temple points.

Crazy how memory can just be wrong like that! The dosages were: 5mg Sildenafil 5mg Tadalafil 3mg Arginine 2.5mg Minoxidil I had it right on other thread. Somehow got it confused on this one.
