It is clear that you read my posts here and understand it well. There are those people that want to know what is happening to them and those that don’t. If you’re curious about microscopically seeing your hair loss progress over time, miniaturization mapping is important. For those individuals who have a hair transplant, the […]

The Master Plan I often refer to is what you will be able to accept in the future with respect to your hair loss. It is simply anticipating for your future hair loss pattern and having a “plan” to stay one step ahead. As an example, if you are 21 years old and currently a […]
It is just your comments that are critical to understanding the need for a Master Plan to deal with questions about your hair loss, how it is progressing, and what the treatment is actually doing to modify your loss. A doctor with a great deal of experience in following hair loss is often the experienced […]
Miniaturization occurs in men and women who are balding. Miniaturization is the process where a normal thickness hair shaft becomes thinner and thinner over time due to the genetically determined effects of aging and/or androgenic hormones on the terminal (normal) hair follicle. The process of miniaturization is a slow process in genetic balding. Hair shafts […]
I saw this photo posted and decided to comment on it. There are many things wrong with this surgery, and as I don’t know the age of the patient nor the number of grafts he received, it is hard to complete my assessment; nevertheless, it is important for those of you who are considering a […]
Does this look like 5000 grafts to you? That is what they said they gave me when I went to Turkey for the transplant. What can I expect in the future? 5000 grafts is well over half of your donor hair supply. You need to have your remaining donor supply evaluated by someone who understands […]
Most failed hair transplants are technically created by a team of people working on you without a good quality control process in place. That reflects the surgeon, who is Master of the Ship and responsible for what his team should be doing. I have found many surgeons who don’t understand the nuances of the hair […]
There is a misconception that many patients and surgeons. They believe they must replace the density of the recipient area in the balding area when having (or doing) a hair transplant. Nothing could be further from the truth. Too many Reddit patients are wasting their donor supply by using too many grafts to cover Class […]
A hair transplant is a significant decision that should not be taken lightly. Most importantly, you must realize that hair loss is a progressive process, so getting a hair transplant may not solve your hair loss problem down the road. When considering a hair transplant, you must know (1) the worst-case badling pattern that you […]
After using topical minoxidil for about 6 months, I switched to 1mg finasteride daily due to palpitation problems. It has been more than 1 year in total. The shedding has decreased a lot (thank God) but there is no new hair growth from the shedding areas. Bald areas are covered with feather-like hair but there […]
Is my donor area too thin to use for a hair transplant? I have sent the same pictures to a doctor who said we could do 5000 grafts, with permission to use around 800 grafts give or take from my beard, but I am concerned they just want my business. I don’t know your age, but […]
Should I get a HT ? Im 23 i used minoxidil for 2 years and did nothing just stopped the shedding so what you advice me to do ? I am against surgery in someone your age because you might progress to a full Class 7 pattern and if you did, without careful planning, you […]
I want to know what I would look like after surgery (typical look). For instance, what impact will the surgery have on my appearance at various intervals after the surgery, especially since we are talking about grafts to the front that everyone will see when I meet them. I am also concerned that if I […]
This young man is in trouble as he wrote to me to tell me that he now has a Class 7 pattern of balding and that his original hair transplant failed. He had advanced balding when he was 19, which means that he will likely end up with a Class 7 pattern of balding. Transplanting […]
Anybody considering a hair transplant must have a Personalized Master Plan because balding is progressive. You must know your donor supply, your hair mass index and these two factors will tell you a great deal about your ability to keep up with the balding and not run out of hairs to move around. A good […]
