Last post Thank you damien and mahair and all you guys that have gave me some support. I am unemployed and I have to move in with relatives. I will not be able to post for a long time. (6 months maybe). My relatives don't know I had a hair transplant. They wouldn't help me and give me a place to stay if...

minoxidil makes me peel now - for some reason ? I used minoxidil for 6 years before my first surgery - not one problem. After my first surgery, I went on minoxidil and had to stop at two months after. The reason : my scalp started peeling. I went off for a couple of months and treated peeling with...

Re : No results The first surgeon was Panagotacos in San Francisco. I believe that the first surgeon is what has caused me to have little or no growth. His procedures are out-dated and inferior and he hacked me up. After my first procedure, I had problems after problems afterward. At about...

Thanks for encouragement Thank you for encouragement. I've been waiting for my hair to look better for a year and a half since my first surgery and it hasn't. I'll keep thinking positive about it though - maybe it'll get better. Been having a bad year. Had to declare bankruptcy and lost my...

Your surgeon should explain all of this to you I good surgeon and clinic will inform you about all of these things in explicit detail before and after your surgery. If you don't understand they should clarify until you do. Procyte shampoo for a couple months after surgery. Mupirocin ointment...

I have had 4400 grafts in 2 surgeries both done 11 months apart in 2004. My results are lousy up to this date. My 2nd surgery was 7 months ago. I have gone from a class 5 to a class 7. These are my opinions about your questions. 1. You will have scarring in your donor area and your recipient...

Stay away from MHR !!! I have talked personally with a very dis-satisfied "victim" of MHR Boston. He is now horribly disfigured. He went fro a class 2 to a class 5 from the MHR surgery !

No, I probably should have. I went to Panagotacos in San Fran for the first. Hasson and Wong for the second

My first procedure was 1200 fu in Jan 2004. It looked terrible. i would say that less than 50% grew in. So, I had another procedure. It was 3200 grafts and was done in Nov 2004. These surgeries cost me a total of $20,000. Since then, I have experienced a major shed and have thinned out from...

You are very lucky I have had 2 procedures. The first was awful. It was done Jan of 2004 and was 1200 FUE. Only about 50% of grew in. Then I had 3200 in Nov 2004 and its been 7 months and my head has thinned out something awful. I have no sprouts and my hair is thinner than before I had my...

I had 3200 grafts 5 1/2 months ago and I have zero hairs coming in and no improvement in density. This is my second procedure. My first was with 1200 grafts and came out fairly well. I went to a better clinic for this second procedure. I think there should be some growth at this point. My...

I had 3200 grafts 5 1/2 months ago and I have zero new growth or density and I'm starting to get a little concerned. I think I should have seen something by now. This is my second transplant. My first one was 1200 grafts and it came out well. But, I had some growth at 5 months. This time I don't.

Thanks for info Thank you guys for feedback. I suffer from chronic back pain from a herniated disc that happened at work several years ago and I have a pot prescription to aleviate pain. I guess I'll ask my Dr. after all to be sure. I'll ask a Dr. online first though. I just thought I shouldn't...

I had 3,200 grafts 3 weeks ago and I haven't toked out since 1 week before my hair transplant. I have been reading a few medical journal articles and they mention that smoking pot should be stopped for 1 month after any surgery so that it doesn't affect the healing process and cause complications. But, they...

Having hair transplant in 3 weeks. Any ideas about concealing and protecting head without injuring grafts. I'm an auto mechanic and I have to go back to work 1 week after surgery or I will get fired. All day long I'm in situations where I could easily bump my head. I have ordered a soft baseball hat style...
