The transplant looks good; however, I am concerned about your Master Plan for long term management of your overall look. If you are in your early 20s, then I generally don’t believe it should be done. Let’s take a objective look. 2700 grafts in the first 2 inches with a high probability that you will […]

You should get a doctor to use a trichoscope and see if the central area has considerable miniaturization and if so, work out a Master Plan for the future.
Do you know why some docs like Hasson/Wong/Rahal say they can do a 3500-4000 graft FUT procedure and charge per graft, while others say they’ll they’ll just take out a strip and transplant however many grafts they get, charging a flat rate and say that they can usually only get 2000 or so grafts in […]
Dr. Dow Stough just published an important article defining the long term risks associated with getting a hair transplant. I always stress the personalized master plan for every patient, laying out a worst-case scenario. Dr. Stough nailed this subject nicely. Original Article The Progressive Loss Risk Scale for Hair Restoration Surgery Dow B. Stough, MD, […]
If you only had frontal hair loss and used up 5400 grafts, that means that you would have used up 2/3rds of your entire usable donor supply. Did you know that if you progressed to more balding, you may not have enough donor hair to cover the rest of your head? In building a Personalized […]
I am strongly considering a transplant, since I really am sad about my balding situation. It is such a slow progression and at the moment It is only frontal part that will need transplant. I am 27 now and cannot tolerate the AR5 inhibitors (tried everything, including all different dosages). Crossing fingers for future treatments […]
I’ve been on finasteride for about 4 months now. Shed began about a two months ago, nothing too out of the ordinary. Shedding miniaturized hair everytime I brush or shower. I was wondering, how long is this gonna last? Does one reach a point where the only hair you lose are terminal hair? You need […]
I’m 24 and I want to get a hair transplant, so how many grafts will I need? You need a Personalized Master Plan: https://baldingblog.com/go-why-do-we-need-a-master-plan/. You need to lay out what your worst case balding is and balance that against your available donor supply capacity before starting the hair transplant process. You will find many doctors willing […]
I’ll bet if you measure the height of the donor area from the base of the skull to the truly fringe area in the midline it would be 2 1/2 inches or less. This is what happens to many of the advanced Class 7 pattern patients in their lifetimes. That’s what’s going to happen to […]
So I started seeing thinning around my 18th bday, I put off treatment as there was no history of MPB in my family and I was iron deficient. After a biopsy it was confirmed to be MPB. I started a regime of Min and was all well until 8 months in I started to shed, […]
I’ve had one transplant to cover my hairline area (FUE 2500 grafts). I’m considering another to do my midscalp, and maybe also my crown at low density. This time I think I’ll do FUT to preserve my donor area as best possible. I’m currently a norwood 4 or 5, and the gene that’s causing this […]
Hi there if someone take fin and/or dut, given that they respond to it without sides, how viable is a hair transplant over the long term. I see many people with aggressive mbp in the past have gone for HTs and ended up having to shave it all off. Will taking dut, fin, min prevent […]
I’m 19, have been experiencing hair loss for 1 year now, diffused thinning, mainly at crown, slight temple thinning is noticeable now. Today I went to a dermatologist in hopes to be prescribed Fin. Worst consolation I have experienced, I was at the practice for 2.5 hours, and the dr only spoke to me for […]
I hear that question all of the time. The answers often vary from 1000 to as high as 6000 grafts, sometimes regardless of the balding pattern. We focus on the number of grafts because more grafts move more hair into the balding area. But the real numbers depend upon hair thickness, the balding pattern, the […]
Hi I l’ve seen your advise and I was wondering if I could ask for you opinion as you seem to be one of the few in r/tressless who is an expert in hair loss. I’m diffuse thinning and started fin at the end of October. I’m afraid of starting min as well because of the shed. […]
