Is it Normal for one hairline corner to not be connected to the sides of my hair? from tressless
This happens in balding men which is is not symmetrical. See a doctor who specializes in hair loss and find out if you are in the early stages of recession or balding
Take a look at my picture. The short hairs that are combed forward and they are the new hairs that I had transplanted 10 weeks ago. How am I doing?
It looks like you have early growth, rare in hair transplant patients. I think that you are very lucky and doing well. This occurs in less than 5% of hair transplant patients.
Some people stay pink more than other. The color, provided that there is no infection present, is a reflection of the way your body heals such wounds.. When I see this type of pinkness, I first determine if it is an infection, but most of the time it is just reflects a person’s healing and the pink color goes away in time.
Start on fin and then stop after a few months then start min from tressless
Finasteride has a different mode of action than minolxidil so your idea will fail. Minoxidil will not retain the hairs grown by finasteride.
I’m planning to start minoxidil but not sure if I can manage applying it twice a day. I can apply it in the morning but my schedule is random everyday. Most days I don’t get home till around midnight so if I have to apply it then I’d have to wait till 2-4 hrs before I can sleep.
Once a day at night is fine. I recommend that you take a hot shower and then apply it before bedtime. The heat will open the porse in the scalp and increase the circulation so that more of the minoxidil will be absorbed.
I had 2500 grafts so far, and I may become very bald like my father and his father before him.
The maximum number of grafts reflects your donor density. In some people with low donor density, it might be 3000-4000, but if your donor density is very high, it could be easily 10,000 or more grafts. The average person is about 6000 grafts? I have transplant 10,000 grafts a quite a few patients wtih high density and likewise, I have had a few people whose limits were in the 3000 range. Cleaerly the more bald you are, the more grafts would would need, assuming you can afford the costs of the surgery. In my practice, over the years, once a patient has reached 6000-7000 grafts, I frequently perform more surgery at my cost. In your case, with just 2500 grafts performe so far, I suspect that you are coming close to your limit if your density is low and I doubt that you can support many more grafts without bcming bald in the back of your head.

There is something called a normal hairline. Some doctors think that putting the hairline high, reflects the age of the patient. I, on the other hand, believe that the reason a person does a hair transplant is to get back his youthful look. There are many men who develop a mature hairlines so as a surgeon, that is what I build when I put back the hairline. Hairlines were defined in an article I wrote which you csn read here: https://newhair.com//pdf/2015/phenotype-article-published.pdf
I am 22 years old and had a hair transplant to thicken up the frontal area. Now the transplants have finally grown. I am taking finasteride now. Will the original hair come back?
At 22, you ran the risk of losing your hair and from the photo you sent me, it really was not bad. The transplant almost certainly accelerated the normal hair loss which you may have had anyway. Now the transplants may be all that is left for the frontal area. Your surgeon should have suggested that you use finasteride rather than do a hair transplant on you at 22, but I guess that he would not have made any money without doing the surgery.
If you cut the skin and then it healed with a scar, it is likely that the skin was separated and you will not grow hair in this scar. To be sure, wait it out for about 6 months and it if is still there with no hair growth, then a small transplant would make it look normal
What you need is to find a doctor who understands the progressive nature of genetic balding in men. With this much balding at 21, you may be heading for a Class 7 pattern but typically Asians do not have the donor supply to treat such a large area of balding if you should evolve into a Class 7 pattern. What you need is a Master Plan for your hair loss, not a hair transplant at this time. I have just received two emails from different doctors who reported that they had patients your age who reversed their hair loss completely with Minoxidil and Finasteride alone and no hair transplant. One of these two enails reported that his patinet had this reversal last since he was 21 years old, which is 15 years ago. Too many doctor will rush to transplant you because they make a lot of money doing it but they would be leaving you with an incomplete end result, so be careful. Try a combination of medications with the help of a good doctor.
I’m a 23 year old male experiencing male pattern hairloss around the crown. I’ve noticed it for 8 months and it’s been getting substantially worse recently- more hair loss in the shower, more strands on my pillow every morning, hair follicles on my hand as I run it through my hair. I’ve also been experiencing Dry Scalp recently which I think is related to the balding. I’m meeting my Primary Care Physican soon, I plan to ask him for a 5mg Proscar prescription and get a pill splitter with that. I do not want to use Rogaine, as I’m a medical student and expected to look professional all the time. I’m afraid it might mess with the oils on my skin. As for the shampoo, I’m thinking of ordering shampoo either nizoral or DR regenpure. Which one do you recommend using? Are there any additional tips you can provide? Could the hairloss be associated with medical school stress to any degress? Thank you for your time!
I believe that there is a 99% chance you have genetic hair loss in process and the best treatment is finasteride 1mg/day or as you said split a Proscar into 1/4 or 1/5th. You don’t have to be 100% accurate as long as you end up totallying 5mgs every 5 days. If you can find someone with a HAIRCHECK instrument (https://baldingblog.com/2017/01/10/value-haircheck-bulk-measurements-two-patients-seen-today/), get your hair bulk measured and then you can get a metric on the value of the drug over time. I don’t believe that the shampoo makes any difference, but for a douoble wammy, if you are having crown loss as well, I would consider adding minoxidil once daily to the crown.
Clearly from the photo, you have significant over-harvesting present. Some of this may be shock loss if the surgery was recent, but if it is more than 6 months, it is permanent. The two pictures show the same patient, with long hair on the left and shaved on the right. The only thing you can do is to get Scalp Micropgiemtnation done in the donor area (https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/)..
There is little that can be done at this time. Go through the post-operative care with washing until the recipient area cleans up. Then look at this recipient area very closely. You may have to wait a full 8 months to know what needs to be done, if anything
Your before and after pictures show a dramatic change with the new hair growth. The before pictures do show some native hair in the transplanted area and that is probably what you are seeing falling out. This is shock loss for you which is far less significant considering the good early results you have
