I have addressed this question many times. This is a problem more of the past than of the present. See: Techniques to Minimize Donor Area Scarring and Trichophytic Closure Photos. You need a Master Plan developed to deal with scars and the need for hair in maximizing the value of the remaining donor hair. Scars […]

I would suggest that you get back on Propecia, for its possible benefits. The result of stopping Propecia means that you played “catch-up hair loss” which means that you lost all of the benefits of the drug, something that happens over a period of about 4 months. I have seen some wonderful results and am […]
Your father is correct in stating that confidence in your physician is very important. That being said, BaldingBlog is not a place for a medical second opinion. You should either address these issues with doctor or formally make an appointment with another hair transplant surgeon for the second opinion. Credentials are important and being a […]
This young man had two hair transplant procedures by
Many of your complaints may not be related to Propecia. Ejaculation volumes are often decreased on Propecia. I have had one other patient report weight gain. You could decrease the dosage (rather than go off the medication entirely), and see if that reduces your joint pain. Discuss this with your prescribing doctor. At 22, have […]
I’d see a good hair stylist with experience in African hair (they understand tangling and how to untangle the hair without pulling it out). It sounds like you need to get styling control on what you use and how you use it. Traction alopecia can occur with pulling on normal hair, but imagine if you […]
Many times a person may lose much of their hair without knowing that they have a problem. Blondes or curly hair people with light hair color or darker skin can lose 70-80% of their hair before they note the problem. What you have been calling thinning over the past 13 years, may be worse than […]
You may be going through a rapid hair loss phase and it is possible that if Propecia is working, it may not be working enough to stop the recession. We know that this drug traditionally works better in the crown, so I would not be surprised to see it less effective in the front (particularly […]
I have had many people pick out a celebrity and say that they want to look like this one or that one. Sometimes I make an effort to do just that if: The hair transplant option is part of a Master Plan that makes sense and looks appropriate. The patient understands the process. The goals […]
The Ulcerative Colitis is stressful, so I am sure that it is pushing his genetic cards with regard to hair loss. If he is taking steroids for his condition, that will also accelerate the genetic cards. He should be evaluated for miniaturization, get a diagnosis in hand, and understand what is happening to him. He […]
I am glad your surgery at NHI went well and that you are pleased. With respect to weight loss and hair density and your analogy to a balloon, it is an interesting question. However, your head is not a balloon and I suspect when you lose weight your head won’t shrink and it would not […]
I understand losing hair in your teenage years can be devastating, but if you were dealt a genetics card of male pattern hair loss, there is not much you can do. Of course there are medications such as topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, but they are not generally prescribed for men under the age of […]
This is a 21 year old man who came to see me, because he felt that his hair was thinning in the forelock and his corners were rising. These pictures tell half of the story. The changes are consistent with the appearance of the male hairline. Mapping out the scalp shows no significant miniaturization present […]
It is the same as the difference between a garbage collector and a sanitation engineer! Everything is in the packaging! Shakespeare wrote, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.†I would change this for the sanitation engineer: “That which we call garbage smells the […]
The value of Propecia should be determined after you have a diagnosis in hand for the balding process. How much miniaturizationdo you have as compared to balding? Propecia works well if the miniaturization process is well underway, but the hair still should have substantial volumes. With regard to your liver, what is your diagnosis as […]
