Exactly, no work done on there. It was already 3000 grafts and my thought process was if this succeeds, then I'll have a 2nd surgery.

Hey guys, I came here several months back for some help (and admittedly on some other hair loss forums), and I appreciated all the help I got and tons of information available. I received a little over 3000 grafts. I'd like your honest opinions, thoughts, and even criticisms. I'm a harsh...

Good question rcom

Hey guys (first off thank you all for your past help, it means a lot!). To my question! I recently had a transplant (just over 3 weeks ago, approximately 3000 grafts), pics: Just start finasteride (splitting proscar into 4). The pic above is to show my (untouched) crown area which had nothing...

I have thin density to begin with, but I like my sides shorter so hopefully it looks good. You kinda scared me, I thought there was something wrong with the surgery or something. Make sure you're here in 9 months so I can show you how it looks ;)

Thanks for the advice dreamermerlin Just curious, why?

Hey guys, long story short...I was about a Norwood III-IV & had ~3000 grafts (mostly on crown). I took a few weeks off week (almost 3 weeks) and will be going back next week. Most of the scabs have fallen off but there's obviously still hairs sticking out in the implanted area, so the...

Anyone here (who's had dandruff problems they need to constantly control) had any luck with minoxidil not making the problem worse? I ask because the last time I used it (several years ago) it got really itchy and made my dandruff worse. Any advice?

Hey everyone, So I've finally embarked on this journey and am scheduled to receive my transplant soon. One thing I've read/seen a lot of was before the surgery the surgeon typically draws what they're going to do and asks the patient if they're satisfied. So to prepare myself, I decided to get...

Quick question guys, as a regular sufferer of dandruff (and someone who has to constantly control it by switching up shampoos, etc), is there any advice you'd give me prior and post to my hair transplant? How have some of you dandruff sufferers dealt with it yourself?

Can you share pics of those guys?

I heard that there is 'shock loss' when people start taking finasteride, but that it eventually makes up for it. Is it a bad idea to take finasteride along right after you've had a hair transplant, or could it have a negative effect on the newly implanted hairs?

Have any pre-op pics for comparison?

I'm scheduled to get my surgery soon and have decided I'm going through with it. I work in an office, and will be taking about a week off work the day of the surgery. My question is, will people notice that I did something? At the end of the day I suppose it doesn't matter, but I'd really...
