Hair Transplant Questions - HELP! 😅

[TravHair]

This post is just my thoughts out loud that I've scrambled together speaking to people and wanted to post here to learn and become even better educated from others who are entering this experience themselves or have already had a procedure done.

 

 - I know not to get it done in Australia, because the quality is just not up to the level it's reached elsewhere in the world. Turkey Is too far away to be feasible and heard there is many botch clinics due to the booming hair industry there. So in the end I have settled on Thailand for the combination of quality and location.

 

- I've been referred by someone ive reached out to via reddit that Dr Laorwang is a respectable option or Dr ratchathorn from the same clinic 'absolute hair clinic'

 

- Am i a macro hairline, or a micro? Because supposedly Dr Laorwang specialises in micro and Dr ratchathorn specialises in macro.

 

- I've been told to do irregularities of both macro and micro.

 

- ive been told to do a single fine hair graft first 2 rows to create a more natural look.

 

- I've been told i will probably need approx 4k grafts for my procedure.

 

- I've been told to focus on the hairline first and with leftover grafts put them into the crown and then re visit at a later date and do the crown separately.

 

- What about the futher hair loss that is still yet to still thin and fall out around the hairline and crown? Worried about further recession and demarcation issues between transplanted and non transplanted

 

- Please educate me on what beneficial extras I'm looking for included in the procedure or should pay extra to add that will positively effect the overall outcome. Like medications and pre/post precautionary treatments.

Dr Laorwong is an excellent choice. Sadly there is no one here in Australia that you should trust. Also Dr Laorwong will be far cheaper. With the questions you have then I would put them to Dr Laorwong if you have a consultation. Take your time researching and wishing you all the best!

You have a lot of hair to keep and this is where you might benefit most from finasteride & minoxidil. 
 

If I were you I’d probably give 0.5-1mg per day of finasteride a go in combination with 2.5mg of oral minoxidil for a good 12-18 months and see what progress you’ve made. 
 

You’ll want to see either evidence of hair loss being stabilised or evidence of regrowth/improvement of miniaturised hair (or both!). 
 

Assuming the medical intervention is showing signs of being successful, you then have the option of enhancing everything with a HT, or maybe deciding that you’re happy with the medical progress alone and sidestep surgery for the time being. 
 

In the meantime you could seek consultation which the clinic, who will be best placed to answer your questions.
