    Transplanted hair dry and brittle after 2-3 weeks

    The newly transplanted hair is starting to fall out 3 weeks post transplant. It is very dry and brittle and some strands might even be breaking off at the scalp not just coming all the way out from the root. I am using minixidol and then applying a biotin spray the keeps the scalp moisturized...

    Vomiting 24 hours after 2,950 graft FUE procedure.

    I am concerned because about 24 hours after the surgery I couldn't help but throw up. I think it was from taking the antibiotic on an empty stomach. I tried to minimize pressure to the scalp as much as possible. I stayed standing straight up and tried to contain pressure to my stomach /...

    Advice on Norwood Level and transplant

    I have already ready been on Finasteride and topical minoxidil for years. Do you think adding oral minoxidil on top would help? I had to stop dermarolling (it was great for my hair and reversed a decent bit of miniaturization) because even spacing 24 hours between topical minoxidil, it was...

    Advice on Norwood Level and transplant

    I'm on finasteride and my hair loss has virtually stood still for years. I have had very little further hair loss the last few years. Most of this damage was done in my 20s (35 now). However it is hard to say whether the crown miniaturization has gotten worse because i couldn't really see it...

    Discrepancy in recommended graft counts.

    I have been receiving initial recommendations for graft counts/surgery from various US doctors just based on pictures. Konior's clinic recommended 3,500 grafts. Vories clinic recommended 4,000 grafts over 2 days. Another clinic initially recommended 2,500 and then the doctor looked at the...

    Am I a reasonable candidate for a hair transplant?

    Is this really considered diffuse loss though? I've never lost much if any hair at the sides/back other than the little patch at the upper right. Hair is short in these pictures with some growing out faster than others because I went against the grain some razor shaving. Most of the loss is in...

    Reasonable candidate for hair transplant and if so, how many grafts?

    I'm 35 and have had little hair loss progression since my 20s (finally got on finasteride/minoxidil/Nizoral shampoo at some point and largely stopped further loss) If possible I would like to go forward with a hair transplant but not sure if I am a good candidate. Is my hair loss too severe at this point...

    Am I a reasonable candidate for a hair transplant?

    I'm 35 and have been on finasteride/minoxidil/Nizoral for years. Haven't progressed much since I turned 30, most of the damage was done in my 20s and I should have hopped on drugs sooner. I have the cash together and am starting to look into surgeons. Am I too far gone or would a transplant potentially...

    I am so worried man.

    He isn't. His hairline is fine. Seems like most people here are panicking teenagers looking for reassurance

    Advice on Norwood Level and transplant

    To add. I'm 35.5 years old. Hair loss has been stable for years and not really progressing much at all. Most of this damage was done in my 20s before I got on minoxidil. I don't really have much hair fall out at all anymore and don't really notice further progression of loss although it is...

    Advice on Norwood Level and transplant

    I have the cash put together for a transplant. Starting to do research on doctors and whether to do it here in the States or fly out to Turkey or something. A good result is more important than the money. Looking at these pics, would I make a good candidate? Hairline is trash but I think I have...
