It is impossible for me to tell you about your hair loss and treatment plans from a simple blog posting. You seem to know about the importance of a Master Plan and miniaturization mapping and with any transplant work that you are considering, anticipating the future direction of the hair loss is critical to balance […]

Were you on Propecia (finasteride) prior to the surgery? If not and you are young, you should have been taking the drug, as the loss of hair after the transplant is a consequence of young men who are not protected with finasteride. Numbness to some degree is normal, but your sensation should return in a […]
I believe that you can not make blanket statements like he made. I believe that what he may be thinking is that if there is already hair in the crown, and if you are a young man without a final hair loss pattern evident, that transplants into the crown could accelerate balding (particularly if you […]
I hear and see situations similar to yours nearly everyday. If you were a young man (under 25) and not on Propecia, I would predict the hair loss as almost a certainty. Hair transplant surgery should take into account a Master Plan to plan for future losses. You should not have lost native hair at […]
Look at the Norwood classification below and you will see the progression of hair loss that is possible. Some people follow the loss pattern going from a Class 2, to a 3, then to a 4, and then on and on. Others will thin in the Class 6 pattern and not go through the various […]
Before you undergo a hair transplant, you need to have a clear idea as to what degree your balding pattern will eventually go. This is not easy to determine on anyone under 25 years old, so that is a rule. All rules can be broken, of course and the examination and the Master Plan you […]
I am very concerned that you had a hair restoration procedure at such a young age, especially in the crown area and many doctors including myself might think that this is not an approach that an ethical doctor would do. Of course I do not have the luxury to examine you in person, but surgery […]
I think that you must put the various surgeries that you may want into a Master Plan for your hair loss. If you are not going to be very bald, then an FUE solution is not an unreasonable one. The long term yields for an FUE may have to do with donor density, but for […]
You should be on Propecia (finasteride 1mg) for at least a year. You need to get your hair mapped out for miniaturization and follow the benefits or lack of benefits of the drug. Either you will: Get better with less miniaturization after a year Slow or stop the hair loss Get worse Based upon the […]
Wow, that would require a long dissertation to answer it all. Yes, there are differences between medical groups in the survival of grafts and the yield of hair as it relates to different procedures. As you may know, there are many techniques being used today. The golden standard is Follicular Unit Transplantation, a process which […]
You should be relating to your hair transplant surgeon face to face, not to an internet source like this for your reasonable and unanswered questions. The fallout you experienced is normal. Hair from the transplants should grow in 3-5 months. To prevent hair loss, any 22 year old should be on Propecia. If your doctor […]
If you were looking for a good family doctor or plastic surgeon, you would most likely use certain criteria for selecting one over the other. Fundamentally, you would look for a well credentialed, caring, competent doctor who you like and feel comfortable with. Be sure that the doctor values you as a patient by spending […]
This is a partial truth. When transplanting thinning hair, one must worry about precipitating hair loss. That is why I do not recommend preventive hair transplants, because there is always a damage risk. If the thinning is very advanced, then my view may change, for the value of the residual hair may not be great. […]
You are almost certainly too young to have hair transplants. Seeing through the hair to the scalp means that you hair is probably very, very fine. This is a common look, something that my generation called a towhead. I would not be surprised to hear of balding in your family as 50% of men in […]
I cannot make a diagnosis or give a second medical opinion via the internet, because I am limited to your description and I have not examined you in person. When a doctor says “it may be too early to get work done”, you might want to let his words ‘sink in’ and consider this as […]
