Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 17, 2023 Administrators Share Posted April 17, 2023 I think your hair is looking great. The eye bags could be a side effect of the minoxidil. But it may not. How has your sleep been? Have you had a lot of sodium? These can effect eye bags as well. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

How old are you OP? Thanks! I'm mid-thirties On 4/16/2023 at 8:30 PM, FUT4000 said: Looks great! What do you mean by styling with rogaine foam, Is it almost like a mousse? I'm using liquid which makes the hair look more wet Yes, exactly. The foam has a slight thickening effect. The liquid makes hair look greasy and thinner IMO. I just use the foam to style my hair on a daily basis. 1700 grafts w/ Dr. Diep 1300 grafts w/ Dr. Nadimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate your input Melvin, and you're probably right. I dropped oral minoxidil and re-added it and the bags didn't come back so might've been something else. I did feel some chest tightness which may not have been oral minoxidil related but not worth the risk IMO so i dropped it from the regimen. Heart failure is almost as bad as being a high norwood (almost). 1700 grafts w/ Dr. Diep 1300 grafts w/ Dr. Nadimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heart failure is almost as bad as being a high norwood (almost). The chest tightness is definitely more alarming than eye bags.

Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted August 16, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted August 16, 2023 (edited) Did Nadimi extract any of Dieps grafts? Solely because I am a hair transplant obsessive, I will say I think I can point out Dieps grafts from Nadimis. I would say Dieps grafts look a bit harsh (if that is the right word?) but still look properly angled I think...they just seem a bit rigid Of course this is only something a fellow hair transplant patient would notice. To me it seems you are done with your HT journey...congrats Edited August 16, 2023 by HappyMan2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
