Hello I am 20 years-old and I had a hair transplant nine days ago. Today when I combed my hair I saw a lot of hairs I mean a lot. Is this normal? I mean there were not only hair from the recipient or donor area but from all over the head…plz help me is this shock loss or what? ps: my hair transplant was very small I had 500 grafts, 250 on the right temple 250 on the left 

You should never have had a hair transplant at 20 years-old as that is, in my opinion, malpractice on the doctor’s part. He cared more about your money than you.  A 20 year-old will certainly lose hair after a hair transplant.  The key is to go on the drug Finasteride and see a lawyer. You can use me as an expert witness in this case.

 

Testosterone may not impact the transplanted grafts but it will accelerate the hair loss in the native hair around the transplanted hair. You may just lose more hair from this hormone.

You have possibly been over-harvested and have developed donor site depletion.  If it does not get better, the only treatment that can make the back of the head look better is Scalp Micropigmentation (https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/#!)

These scars may occur as a complication of an FUT strip surgery. Sometimes they just happen and sometimes it occurs when the wound is closed under tension.  Wait a period of six months and then, if it does not go away, you might have to consider doing something about it like Scalp MicroPigmentation which works very well for scars in the donor area provided that it is not too large. There is a good chance it will grow hair within six months.

Yes, doctors are shy because of class action law suits brought on by men claiming that the doctors prescription of Finasteride made them impotent. Many young men seem to be hopping on that bandwagon but it seems that most of these suits are being tossed out. I still prescribe it with proper waivers signed.

I don’t like the idea of anyone removing grafts that have crusts or scabs on them.  We have published a paper in a formal medical journal explaining that when a person pulls off a scab (crust) from a recipient area in less than 12 days, the risk of losing the graft is very high.

See the medical paper we wrote in a major journal below in the web reference that proves my point.

Here is the article:  https://newhair.com/pdf/mp-2006-graft-anchoring.pdf

This patient was concerned about the asymmetry of his hairline with the right side being slightly higher than the left. First thing I did was a HAIRCHECK test to determine if there was any evident balding and this test is very sensitive to this.  The answer was clear that no balding is present at this time. He may be receding slightly on the right side, and if this is the case, he may develop balding in the future. An annual HAIRCHECK test would be indicated.

This is a very nice, effective and natural system of treating head lice reported in India. It includes a mixture with curry and olive oil and the use of a plastic bag for the whole night over the scalp.

This is what they are doing in India and it’s very efficient and does not cost much.

No, male pattern balding is genetic but it can skip many generations. You might not identify who you got it from if the person you inherited it from is not known to you. We often do not know our great grandparents.  I recently saw my great, great grandfather’s pictures from the late 1800s and he had a full head of hair.

This patient had 2,900 grafts a few years ago and stopped in to show me what he looked like. The before and after are remarkable. His hair is brown, straight and of medium thickness. He has seen a remarkable change in his self-confidence and the man in the mirror looks good.
