The hairline matures, but the top of the scalp won’t go through that process unless you’ve got some degree of genetic hair loss (or allergy or disease). Keep in mind that it’s normal to lose 100 or so hairs a day anyway, and usually we don’t notice most of them as the wind might blow […]

I realize your question is very limited and I don’t know anything about your hair loss, but based on what you are asking I think you are going about this completely wrong. First, you need a Master Plan for your hair loss. Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is a great surgery, but it has limitations. One […]
Your scalp can shine with the oil that your scalp produces, so scalp micropigmentation (SMP) patients often use matting products available at cosmetic stores. There’s various brands of shine control lotions for the scalp, including HeadLube. SMP has a use with some negatives and some positives. There is a natural symbiosis between hair transplants and […]
When you say Proscar, I hope you mean Propecia or are going to cut the Proscar into 4 pieces. Proscar (prostate medication) is 5x the dose of Propecia (hair loss medication). A wig/hairpiece/toupee won’t effect the benefits of Propecia (finasteride 1mg), but depending on how you attach the hair piece to the scalp, it may […]
First, how do you know what prostate pain feels like? I don’t imagine most men would be able to pinpoint which internal organ is hurting so quickly… particularly the prostate. Prostate pain generally ranges anywhere from lower back problems to urinary issues. Is that what you felt? Second, you had sudden pains after one dose? […]
First off, I’d like to think I am a good surgeon, but I highly doubt I can make you look like Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise. Second, a hair transplant cannot give you back the same hair density as you once had. Think about the simple fact that the surgeon has to get your OWN […]
Thanks for allowing us to post your photos. Click them to enlarge. You shouldn’t worry about having more hair or less hair on left or right corners of the hairline. Many people have asymmetry, so what you’re seeing isn’t uncommon. With respect to hair loss, I cannot give you a diagnosis at this stage […]
Hair transplant surgery, just like any cosmetic/aesthetic surgery, is a situation in which the patient chooses to alter his/her appearance. Thus, if the patient wants to have their juvenile hairline back and there is enough donor hair available, I see no reason why a doctor cannot accommodate the request. The caveat is that even if […]
Propecia isn’t going to cement every hair into your scalp, and by that I mean if you pull on your hair, you will still see some come out. That is normal. I don’t know if you are responding to Propecia, but if you do have regrowth I’d expect they wouldn’t be weak after some time. […]
Hair spray, dandruff, or sebum do not cause hair loss. Genetic inheritance causes hair loss in men for the majority of cases. Shock loss happens from the “shock” of the hair transplant surgery on the nearby hairs that are just barely holding on (those are programmed to eventually fall out anyway). It happens within weeks […]
It’s possible to reach a pattern you’re going to stick with forever by 21, but it is really difficult if not impossible for anyone to definitively say what your future pattern will be by just examining your scalp at such a young age. I realize you would like some words of comfort, but unfortunately I […]
There are many ways to answer this question, but it varies by the quality and the availability of the hair to tackle the job. Every person needs a Master Plan when undergoing any surgical hair restoration procedure. The available supply varies in individuals and some people will never have enough hair to fill in a […]
Taking finasteride will not damage your hair, but you should not be taking finasteride if you do not have androgenic alopecia. There’s no reason to take unnecessary medication, and your doctor will be able to tell you if Propecia is helping. Perhaps your haircut didn’t reveal anything new, but it’d been so long since you’ve […]
There are many things that make someone a good/bad candidate for hair transplants. A key problem for any candidate is a low donor density and a large balding area, which may mean the donor supply is insufficient to address the needs of the recipient area. I have had many patients that ran out of donor […]
Even if what you area reading is true about 7,000 to 10,000 grafts being available, it is up to the patient to want to have a hair transplant and use those grafts wisely. The Master Plan may include saving the remaining hairs for possible further hair loss. It may be a see-through look for you, […]
