How is the donor area approached and managed for a hair transplant based on the balding pattern? What I mean is the donor area for a Norwood 4 is going to be larger than for a person with a Norwood 7 whose crown dips down and cuts into much of the donor area.

A good doctor will plan for the unexpected balding pattern that might sneak up on his patient.  That means that the Personalized Master Plan that I write so much about expects a Class 7 pattern of balding on each and every one of his patients. This is what separates the great doctors from the poor ones. 

I have a hair transplant programmed in 2 months. My doctor told me to avoid all kind of exercise for 2 weeks prior and 4 weeks post-transplant. I will ask him for more details about it, I mean, can’t I do a few sets of really low weights just to maintain the muscle? or is it absolutely nothing at all? Also, I find it strange that he didn’t tell me anything about having sex, it is a super high-intensity exercise…

If you are going to have FUE, then exercise up to the day of the surgery and then you should be able to start up again 5 days later. I don’t know where your doctor got his information from. Full activities include sex, possibly as early as 3 days after FUE. sweating doesn’t harm the grafts or cause infections that I know of.

During Napoleon’s retreat from Russia after the defeat of 1812, more than 4500 of the original force of 500,000 men died for all causes, battle wounds, heat, starvation, and especially the cold.  Many of them went to sleep and froze to death. Daron Larrey, the army’s Chisleetef Surgeon, noticed that bald men died of the cold before those with hair. 

This man was 19 when he started t treat the thinning that he had.  In just 12 months, the diffuse thinning returned to normal.  Finasteride is a micacle drug for such young men. 

 

Should I get PRP with or immediately after a hair transplant?

I have never used PRP with hair transplants. My hair transplants grow regardless of what one does after. I personally believe that it is a waste of money.

I think that the Dr. Pen with 36 needles and 1.25mm depth is the best unit. When you use it, keep it in the same spot for 10 seconds and do it once a week.

Many of my hair transplant patients used this as a justification to get a transplant
