Hair System Malfunction! I attempt to stick the hair system on all by myself and lose half of my forehead! from tressless
I have collected a series of photos from the internet of victims from overly aggressive surgeons who don’t understand the limits of performing FUE and have depleted the donor area on this patients (https://newhair.com/resources/#tab-id-4). These men may have addressed their balding on the front, top and crown of their head, but they traded it off for balding in the back of their head. Balding in the back of the head can only come from an overly aggressive surgery so anyone that looks at them knows that they had a hair transplant because balding in the back of the head is not anything found in nature. It is man-made.
Stephen Miller used too much Toppik in the front so that the back and sides of his head are a different color. He should have Scalp Micropigmentation (https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/bold-shaved-look/) done so that the effect would be uniform and not stand out (you can see it in the video below). The key to undetectable concealers is that the leading edge can not be sharply thick. A normal hairline has a transition zone between the forehead and the thicker hair behind it. Hair is very important to all men and the use of concealers show that the men who use them are take charge guys, wanting to look how they feel. I am not faulting Steven Miller at all by posting these Reddit photos and posts, just sharing my thoughts with my readers.
I tell men never to get a hair transplant prior to the age or 25 or 26 because they must know what their hair loss pattern is and until this age, the pattern is not clear. If you get transplanted earlier, you may chase your pattern with repeat hair transplants every year. Men in their thirties are idea, because most of the hair loss has happened in their twenties.

This is a classic case of Triangular Alopecia, which is an inherited condition. The only good treatment is a hair transplant into the area.
Some people cut their eyebrow hairs at the roots and it did not grow back. You will know in 6 months, which is the longest cycle I know of.
Assuming that you are female, yes. A 1-0% solution of minoxidil in women runs the risk of facial and other body hair growing from the medication as it gets absorbed by the body.
This is very patchy results. I think the grafts that were transplanted came in patchy which means that many did not grow. I would go back and speak with your surgeon. If you were my patient, I would make it “right.” A good examination is critical to going forward and in trying to understand this bizarre result.
Hair loss is found among people who take Benadryl, especially for people who are female, 60+ old , have been taking the drug for < 1 month, also take medication Tylenol, and have Breast cancer female.

A Second Comment: WOW, I have been dealing with extreme hair loss for the last 3 years. I have a third of my hair. thyroid tests etc come back fine. Looked this up on a hunch. And see all these! I hope not too much of the hair loss is permanent but I am afraid that it is. Stopping nighttime benedryl immediately.
Doctors should take charge of the post operative care instructions by teaching patients how to wash their hair on the very next day after surgery. By not teaching the proper technique, patients (like the one in the photo) will have to hide either under a hat or at home for a month until the crusts come off.
I am having issues with finasteride and have been very depressed about it. I was wondering if you could answer some questions. Over the past two years, I’ve been taking finasteride and I would say that it worked moderately. I was still losing hair but the shedding was slowing down. I didn’t have too many sides but I had a bit of ED. My erections were weaker and I didn’t have morning wood. Suddenly, starting a few months back, it seems like I have lost tremendous ground. My shedding is very intense and I’m getting thinner by the day. I also got my morning wood back and it’s very intense. I talked to my dermatologist but she doesn’t know whats happening. Do you have any recommendations for dutasteride or any idea of what is happening? I would appreciate any help! I feel like I’ll be bald by the end of the year and I’m only 22, so this is absolutely killing me. Thanks!
I discuss often that a tug of war exists between the drug finasteride and the genetic balding process. Like any tug of war, the stronger side wins. If your genetic balding creates a stronger pull than the drug finasteride, you will lose hair. There is no solution for many people in this situation. Dutasteride is only slightly more effective, but it has sterility risks which may not be worth taking.
I tell most of my patients that they should use both medications when the area you are treating is small as in this man. Faster than normal response but I can’t tell which of the two medications caused the new hair that is clearly there.

Yes, if you are shedding and shampooing, the fallen hairs that are in the hair will fall out. IF you are rough, more hair will be pulled out so use gentle techniques when shampooing especially if you are losing hair already.
Well you should never have had a transplant that young especially with this much hair loss. Any good doctor would never do this because the potential for you to keep going bald is too high. In other words, you only have 6000-7000 transplantable grafts total. You may not have grafts to cover future loss later. The sad fact is the best age for a hair transplant is in the 30s. Now you may be faced with shaving your head and if you have fut, you will have a scar. It’s possible you can have scar revision if it’s bad. You can also have what’s basically a hair tattoo where they take a shaved head and place tiny dots to simulate hair follicles as well as hide the scar. You have other options but not everyone has the correct head or hair for a transplant.
This man is right on!
I figured I would offer my opinion here since the reader asked for a reply from somebody who had a similar experience and the response doesn’t really answer the question. I used Propecia about a decade ago and developed general sexual dysfunction (not just ED) that continues to this day.
Unfortunately nobody can provide you with the reassurance that you say you desperately need. You won’t know for sure if the side effects will be permanent unless you stop taking the drug. The doctor highlights that you risk “catch up hair loss” which provides an incomplete picture to the decision you need to make. On the other hand, if you continue taking the drug you risk “catch up side effects” because the side effects can get worse than they are today. You need to think about what is most important to you and how much you value your general health versus your hair in order to make a smart decision. There is uncertainty in making a decision like this which is stressful but the right decision is different for everybody.
In my practice, when a new patient goes on finasteride and has sexual side effects, I tell him to stop the medication. I have them report back to me about their sexual side effect which usually goes away within a month or so. I have not seen any patient tell me that after stopping the drug, the side effects continued.
