I’m considering getting the FUE method. I’ve been told because of the large number of grafts (3500)

2day FUE
Jun 22, 2017

What they mean by a 2 day FUE is, I hope, harvesting around half of the grafts and implanting them the first day, and then harvesting the other half of the grafts and implanting those the same, second day. Grafts should be implanted the same day, hopefully before 6 hours, so they remain viable while kept cold. I recommend to keep FUE procedures below 2600 grafts and then plan a second FUE after around 12 months, after full growth, to reevaluate both the recipient and donor areas, as…

A doctor said it looks like a poor design and poor distribution. Is that true?

Jun 22, 2017

The best time to evaluate the hair transplant is after full growth, around 12 months after the procedure. But at this stage that you present, more photos are needed, including with face, front, side, 3/4 views, top, 3/4 front-top, etc. It seems the grafts were placed to recreate and strengthen the hairline as the goal. If that was the goal as decided by your surgeon and you, then the placement seems satisfactory, based on the limited photos provided. Make sure you follow up closely with…

Am I eligible for a hair transplant?

candidate for transplant

Make sure you have an evaluation by a well qualified hair transplant surgeon to see if you are a candidate for transplant, but based on your pictures, if you have no contraindications, and you have realistic expectations, you could benefit greatly from hair transplantation, complemented with hairloss prevention treatments, like Finasteride and/or Minoxidil, Low Level Laser, and PRP treatments.

stopped finasteride, hairloss resumed
May 14, 2017

In general terms, yes, it is recommended to again restart taking Finasteride, and if possible, also use Minoxidil. They complement each other. Be sure you get evaluated to make sure your hairloss is not caused by other causes that require a different treatment (for example, thyroid problems, or alopecia areata, etc). You have a good chance of seeing improvement, but be patient and consistent, visible results might take 9-12 months of daily use to be seen. Also, check out PRP (Platelet…

Is my donor area too small to have a hair transplant?

It all depends on your goals and expectations. A face to face evaluation is best, but based on your photos, you could be a candidate for FUT (strip) procedure, to improve the hairline and front/top areas. Trying to cover the whole pattern might result in too light a coverage, and a “diffuse balding look”. Adding PRP to the transplant procedure might improve the overall results. Depending on your hair density in the donor zone, you could consider having a second procedure in 1 year to…

Is there any hope? 2.5 months after eyebrow transplant.

eyebrow transplant at 2 months
Apr 19, 2017

Be patient. Hair transplants, including eyebrows, start growing 2-3 months after the procedure, might have some temporary shedding that usually regrows in about 4-6 months, and the full growth result takes 10-12 months. Eyebrows might require more than one procedure to achieve the patient’s goals. Do not be discouraged, at 2 months it is still very early in this process. Be sure to follow up with your surgeon more frequently if you feel there is a problem going on. And make sure there are no…

eyebrow transplant
Apr 19, 2017

Eyebrow transplantation can help you achieve, or at least get close, to your goal. Make sure your hair loss is not due to alopecia areata, diagnosed by a dermatologist of your choice. Alopecia areata could be made worse by a hair transplant procedure. Also make sure the hair loss is not caused by medical conditions, like thyroid problems, that could improve after medical treatment by your internal medicine or family doctor. Eyebrow transplantation might require more than one procedure to…
