    Returning To Work 2 Weeks Post hair transplant - Realistic?

    I'm sure full shave would be very visible, fue or fut. What about leaving the hair in the recipient area a few inches long though? My thought was to not lower my hair line significantly and instead place the grafts in between my native hairs in the diffuse frontal third. My recipient area...

    Returning To Work 2 Weeks Post hair transplant - Realistic?

    Thanks, very informative reply. As you say, I do have quite a bit of hair left so my thought was that if I don't attempt to lower the hairline I could possibly get away with a 2 week post hair transplant break. It sounds like that may not be realistic. I feel lucky to have the coverage I have at my age, but...

    Returning To Work 2 Weeks Post hair transplant - Realistic?

    I plan on having a hair transplant and would appreciate opinions on planning. I have had consultations with Dr. Nadimi from Konior's office, and Dr. Bloxham from Feller & Bloxham.

    Those Who Use Rogaine, What Side Effects Have You Experienced?

    Most people experience zero side effects to slightly elevated heart rate for a brief period of time after application. Topical minoxidil is pretty harmless as far as treatments go. Also not very effective for most people, but there are a few lucky responders that get impressive regrowth. Don't...

    Dermatologist Said “use Minoxidil For 3 Months And Then Stop”

    Derm doesn't know what she is talking about. Get a new doctor. Once you start minoxidil you have to continue using it so long as you want to benefit from it. Stop and all gains/maintenance/deceleration of male pattern baldness stops as well.

    Receding/maturing Hairline Or Just Being Delusional? 20 Years Old

    Doesn't appear to be baldness, but you should keep an eye on it. If the corners of the hairline are thinning or if you shed lots of short hairs you should get on a treatment.

    8 Years Of finasteride And Min, 36 Years Old

    OP here. Hair is the same, maybe a little worse in the frontal third but it's hard to say. I had a consultation with a hair transplant dr and was recommended 1,500 to 2,000 grafts. They said I could do fue or fut (drkonior in chicago) Currently trying to figure out a way to get the procedure...
