Hi all! Couple of questions regarding the period right after an FUE: (1) How long, realistically, would it take before I could go back to work without anyone noticing something weird happened to my head? This is putting to the side the fact that all of a sudden my hair will be really short and...

I'm considering FUE and would like to figure out HOW to determine who are the best surgeons. The criteria I can think of are (in order of priority): - years of experience performing FUE - results displayed on web site or in forums - quality of personal exchanges with the doctor or office -...

Shookwun, the redness was from FUE? Was it in the donor area? I'm surprised that after five months your donor area wouldn't have covered it up.

What about using a 2 guard after a strip surgery?

It's definitely good hearing others' thoughts. There seem to be three objections to getting the hair transplant now: 1. Don't get a hair transplant because you'll lose the native hair. 2. Don't get a hair transplant because your hair may get worse and then you'll be screwed. 3. Don't get a hair transplant at all without finasteride. My thoughts, in...

I have curly hair, a pale complexion, and thick donor hair. I was told that as a result I have enough donor follicles to cover all the areas vulnerable to male pattern baldness. So it may be more likely I'll be 40 with nothing in the bank, rather than nothing on my head. :-( That's why I'm thinking of going...

The genetics are fairly inconclusive. Father: Excellent hair. No real loss. Paternal Uncle: Completely bald Paternal Grandfather: Bald Maternal Uncle: Excellent hair. No loss. Maternal Grandfather: Good hair. Brother: 4 years old and his hair is just a little bit worse than mine. If I were in...

I am 31 years old and considering my hair transplant options. I have noticed thinning in the crown and temples since I was 28, though it probably started at 27. My brother is four years older and has just a tad more hair loss, without using any medication or anything else. finasteride is not an option due to side...

Does the shaving occur in the donor area, recipient area or both? Would 14 days be safe (i.e., no more redness in most patients)? This is for both strip and FUE, right?

It should not be covered. See IRS Publication 502 (quoted below). Cosmetic Surgery Generally, you cannot include in medical expenses the amount you pay for unnecessary cosmetic surgery. This includes any procedure that is directed at improving the patient's appearance and does not meaningfully...

Thanks, Dudemon! I guess I'll just have to let them know when I check in at the reception desk.

I have a consult with the Shaprio Medical Group. There is Paul and there is Ron. Is one better than the other?

I am seeing Shapiro soon. What made you choose Cole over Shapiro?

Sorry, I left out the link: http://www.hairestorationetwork.com/e ... nions.html Feller's is the 3rd comment.

I find Minoxidil to be difficult to apply because: 1) It won't work where you have no hair left 2) Where you do have hair left, you have to move the hair out of the way so you can apply the Rogaine In other words, you have to find the sweet spot where you have enough hair for growth...
