Finasteride is not important for getting FUE grafts to survive. Finasteride prevents shock loss of the miniaturized hairs on your head, which is common in men in their 20s who often have a great number of miniaturized hairs.
Clearly, the people who did his work had no plan for him. It also looks like most of the transplants did not work
The photos show a lot of miniaturized hairs behind the hair transplant. I would expect to see hair loss behind the hair transplant unless you had been prescribed finasteride. Even with that, your hair transplant probably didn’t extend far enough back to cover the area of what appears to be advanced thinning. Hair loss here will not come back.
This is the first time I ever heard of this complication from SMP. It was clearly done by someone that just didn’t understand the process. It is also clear from the size of the dots, that the operator went too deep which probably accounted for the necrosis complication
The crown isn’t a styling area, mostly just need the look of fullness over there. It’s common just to get that area micropigmentation. So why not just use some body hair to fill it in? I know there’s a reason why, otherwise it would be done more. But what is it?
Body hair donor sites have problems with them as follows: (1) they grow to a limited length, (2) they only grow about 6-8 months and then fall out, (3) their texture (bulk) is less than most scalp hair so that it takes many more to be equal to a scalp donor hair and (4) half of all of the transplanted hairs are in telogen (sleeping) half of the time which means that for every 10 hairs that are transplanted, only 5 are growing at any one time. In conclusion, it is not practical and very expensive. As for hair elsewhere in the body, beard as a donor source is good but not for the frontal area and only when you run out of good scalp donor hair. Neck hair is not permanent hair so it should never be used as a donor source.
There seems to be some corner fill and stabilization of your frontal hairline with probably little or no recession
I am a female. My dermatologist recently told me that any kind of hair color should not be used when experiencing hair loss/thinning hair. I’m dealing with thinning hair on my crown and right side of my scalp. I’ve recently started using Rogaine and my derm advised I could use whatever shampoo I wanted, ( I was very surprised at this). I’ve been using semi-perm color on my hair for years and on occasion using perm color. All in the salon ?
Yes, hair coloring impacts the hair on top of your head. Genetic hair loss is below the scalp level so the two are unrelated. Don’t damage your hair with dyes, which can happen below the skin when it is used wrong.
The issue may be: ‘Do you want to travel to Turkey (airports, airplanes, hotels in a city that may have a lot of Virus there)?
