At 15 days without scabbing, you should be safe with the grafts and they will not come out. If the scabs persist, that is another story which requires careful washing. You really should never look worse unless you experience some degree of shock loss. At your age, to prevent this, you should be on finasteride. […]

The issue that connects hair loss to a surgical procedure seems to be stress. A local surgery as you describe should not cause hair loss, especially since you are taking Propecia. Even with stress from surgery, Propecia will probably protect you.
There is no set rule. Obviously, the longer you take it the better off you’ll be, but it also depends on individual basis. For example, if you are completely bald, it does not really matter. Or if you are young in your mid twenties and you are rapidly losing hair, I would say you should […]
Firstly, 4000 FUE grafts in one session without damage to the grafts during extraction is something that I simply don’t believe. I would have to see it and judge the transection rate under this surgeon’s hands. As for this doctor discontinuing the use of the strip harvesting method “due to its highly invasive nature” as […]
Your doctor advised you correctly — they will shed sooner or later. I have seen some hairs remain up to a year and the hair transplants grew around them. If you pull on those short hairs, they usually come right out with no traction on them, because they are not attached to a bulb or […]
It sounds like you need a second opinion. You can start using Rogaine Foam about 14 days after a hair transplant. Shock loss could be prevented in most situations with the drug Propecia started before the transplant is done. Shock loss will usually subside up to 4 months or so after it starts (hopefully much […]
If you have a good response to Propecia and are still wanting more hair, considering a hair transplant is appropriate, but you want to make sure that your selection of a doctor is an informed one. You may consider reviewing the links on this page — Hair Transplant Doctor Credentials — to get a better […]
In the past, I have tried to kill hair transplants that are too pluggy. No matter what I do, I can not kill them unless I focus on electrolysis, FUE, punch excision, or lasers that kill hair. So the answer to your question is that this hair is permanent and quite resistant to damage, even […]
Risks of shock loss following hair transplantation occurs in young men, but Propecia/finasteride usually prevents it. The value of a hair is not equal amongst all hairs. A fine hair may have 1/4 of the bulk of a coarse hair, so a transplant in a coarse haired person will be fuller (hair for hair) than […]
Do not rush to transplant your frontal hairline. You can just say no! Stop pulling on the hair and get a caring doctor who is not so much interested in your wallet and get one that is more in your welfare. Get a proper examination. If you are just having a loss of the mature […]
You do not need to be on Propecia before any hair transplant surgery, but in most young men I recommend it and suggest that it is started as early before the surgery as reasonable (minimum 2 weeks). Generally though, it is always a good idea to minimize shock loss and also to minimize further natural […]
I appreciate your situation, but your fear of Propecia (finasteride 1mg) makes no sense to me. If you took the medication and experienced a negative sexual side effect (1% of men), the drug will be out of your blood stream in 24-48 hours from the time you stop taking it. There is nothing permanent about […]
Fear of the unknown is natural, but one of the things that your doctor should be doing is educating you enough to manage this decision. A good decision today will be a good decision tomorrow. You should get another opinion if your doctor isn’t providing you with all of the information you’re seeking. Absolutely do […]
You seem to have two problems going on. Concerning the dye, you may have sustained a chemical burn and this can cause permanent hair loss. If you are losing more hair since the transplant I would want to know if you were taking Propecia (finasteride) before the surgery to protect against shock loss. The chemical […]
Please read through the information I’ve supplied in the very lengthy post called The Truth About Cheap Hair Transplants to get tips on how to select a doctor. You should put price into the formula only after all other criteria have been met. Then, of course, it is a free enterprise society and the prices […]
