I keep seeing this pop up. I am 19 right now with a NW2.5-3 and just started taking finasteride. My plan is take fin for a year then — assuming I respond to finasteride normally (just maintain hair, am not a non-responder/super responder) — get a hair transplant at 20/21ish. Why would this be such […]

So just a quick question Parents both have full heads of hair and only 1 great grandfather died bald. I lead a pretty sedentary lifestyle and am probably even on the obese side. Does any of this have an effect on hair? I’ve been for a couple months now and it wasn’t until today that […]
From Reddit: So, I recently did a AMA on hair transplant, answered many questions and reacted to several people’s stories. I want to make something clear to everybody interested in or planning a HT. Fin is mandatory. Unless you just want to correct a shitty natural hairline and have solid reasons to believe you have no […]
Thinking about a hair transplant, but I have some doubts about terminology: what is the difference between a graft, a follicle and a hair? Hairs are the product of the body and is created in the manufacturing apparatus called a hair follicle. Hair follicles grow in groups and each group is called a follicular unit […]
I keep coming across mixed answers online, so I thought it would be better to post here. If we are able to extract and culture to multiply follicles, could FUT scars be restored? Could the smaller FUE follicle based scars be restored too? I get that growth cycles of hair across the body are different, […]
That is fascinating but it prompts a few thoughts. Why not use body hair for transplant processes? And why does the balding gene only impact on the top of the head and not the sides? The sides of the hairline, as well as the 3 inch section at the bottom of the back of the head, […]
I did two hair transplants on a very bald psychologist who was age 52. After he got his hair back, he felt like a hairy person, not a bald man with low self-esteem. He told me that he underwent 18 years or psychoanalysis for his self-esteem problem and was angry that he thought he could […]
If you try filling in FUE scars with more hair transplants from the thigh, body, or neck, you will be subject to the limitations of these donor sites. The neck hair is not permanent hair. Additionally, all body hair below the neck has a short growth cycle, and only half of the hairs will be […]
This is a terrific story shown in photos in multiple surgeries. Congrats to the patient and the surgical team. It is important to note that the change was gradual, evidenced by the photos and I am sure that nobody saw the daily changes (like watching grass growing that you never see). People have always told […]
A couple of years ago, I had sudden hair loss which triggered bad anxiety and depression. So much so that I couldn’t function. Last summer I had a dream job between semesters at school, but when I was there I couldn’t think straight my anxiety and stress was so bad that it seemed to make the hair […]
I hear about the self-confidence issue all of the time. You would not believe how many wealthy, very successful people I have performed hair transplants on and the reason driving them is almost always the issue of “self confidence”. A few well known people in the world of tech, some CEOs of fortune 500 companies […]
It turns out that your picture was my picture 25 years ago as I had the exact balding area in my crown. Then I had hair transplants and now nobody can tell that it ever had a bald spot. The picture on the left is the person asking the question, the picture on the right […]
I ended up having the operation and have been very happy. You will be pleased to know Dr. Rassman that my doctor showed me your 2003 paper initially describing FUE (as he knew I was also in academic medicine). He certainly has a great deal of respect for you. On the other hand, I would not […]
For most hair transplant procedure, you can resume full exercises including running a marathon if you know how to do that. The only restrictions are: With a strip surgery, no heavy lifting or body presses for 3 weeks. For all other hair transplants, no Scuba Diving for 4 weeks. If you swim, don’t soak your […]
It is possible that the testosterone impacted the transplanted hair and almost certainly may have impacted the native hair that is present. If the hair transplants are falling out due to the testosterone injections, it might even suggest that the hairs used in the transplant didn’t come from the donor area (permanent zone in the […]
