I'm 10 months into my hair transplant. Around months 6-8ish I was feeling really happy with the density of my transplanted hair. Recently I started noticing "thinning" of that area, looks less dense to the naked eye.. I took a close up picture & I noticed small hairs, I wouldn't say baby hairs bc some are thick but just small.

Any advice or comments on what could be happening?

Hello All,

I am consulting with Dr. Kulakarn in Thailand. I see some posts by the Dr in hair restoration network but not here from reddit users. Price per graft is USD 2.2, which isn't cheap. I would really love to hear from folks here about her work. It will really help me make a decision. Thanks.

Describe the process. Is it better to contact lawyer in my country or in Turkey?

I’ve always wanted to be blonde, but I want it to look natural. Is it possible to get a hair and eyebrow transplant so it’s all blonde and looks natural?

What's everyone's thoughts on playing a round of 18 11 days after a HT? Obviously I'll wear a hat instructions say wait 14 days but people think should be ok by day 11 thinking I'll just wear a wid brimmed hat.

Please help. I don’t want to have to rely on topical products every day. If I don’t use them my hair will come out in clumps and it’s thick strands now. It’s getting worse. Age 37.

I have had a surgery on Tuesday and it’s really hard to sleep with such angle. If I find another position in which the recipient area isn’t touched is it good ?

Like is the only point of this position to avoid contact between pillow and grafts ?

Wanting to get my HT touched up but want to use my neck hair.. Anyone here done it..What clinic does dhi do you recommend

I am considering a hair transplant to cover part of my front scalp and mid crown area. An Istanbul based clinic proposed to harvest some graft from my beard in addition to the back of my scalp. My beard hair is generally stronger than my scalp hair, but they seem to believe that it will blend it well.

My questions are for men who had beard to scalp transplant done.

1. How was the anesthetic injection in your chin/neck area? My least favorite part of my first HT was the anesthetic injections which were not pleasant at all, and now I am wondering how it feels to have several needle injections around your chin, in addition to your scalp.

2. Did your donor area beard hair regrow at all? Or did you end up with sparse beard?

3. How are your results? Both in terms of growth and natural look. I understand this depends on several factors (such as how good the procedure went, after care, etc.) so I am just trying to learn more about what to expect, generally speaking.

Hey everyone,

I’m curious about the effectiveness of microneedling for hair growth without the use of topical minoxidil. I have cats, so I’m unable to use minoxidil, and I’m also hesitant to try oral minoxidil due to potential side effects.

Have any of you tried microneedling without minoxidil and seen good results?

Additionally, if I do decide to try microneedling, how long after a hair transplant can I start treating the transplanted area?

My clinic told me to wait until day 14, but after reading online it seems that most people remove their scabs on day 10. Which is better?

For those of you who have gone through or are currently planning a hair transplant: what’s your process for finding and choosing a provider and location? Are you happy with the current options and info available, or do you find certain things frustrating or lacking?

Part of my question is HOW to find the best possible doctors. What online platforms, searches, etc. do people use?

For example, google search? What are the most effective types of searches? And how do you best filter the results? A lot of the results likely appear due to bigger doctor businesses having bigger ads budgets, but aren't necessarily trusted and higher quality. Doctor/ clinic websites show great reviews/ results, but how can one actually trust that?

What sources do people use? Google search? Google reviews? Try to find the reviewers & reach out to them? Perform various Reddit searches? What are the best ways to eventually validate that you're making a good decision even after going through consults, where doctors will all likely reassure you and promise you a lot?

Would love to hear about any pain points, thoughts on what would make the process easier or better, insights, tips, etc. This would be highly appreciated, and really helpful for anyone (like myself) trying to navigate this journey.

I have a flight the next day after my transplant with Dr. Nader. Does anyone who did their HT by Dr. Nader know if they provide some bandages for the flight ? or do I need to get my hat or bandanas ? If yes, which one’s you recommend to wear next day after HT.

I’m really anxious about flying without something covering my donor and implant area.

Hi guys, I’m a fellow dreamer looking to recover some beloved hair!

I’ve been browsing this sub for a while, checking surgeon names, reviews and so on.

EDIT: I’ve added pics on my profile in case they help, I’d need lots of work on the sides as well and I’ve read not all surgeons are good at that).

For now I talked to Pittella (quoted me 5500 grafts at 5$ each) and HLC (quoted me 3300 grafts at 2.7 € each).

I honestly would love the best work done on me from a top surgeon but also at the moment I cannot spend 27k (what Pittella basically quoted)…

I also would love to be able to book earlier than a year in advance..

Now, HLC price would be good for me but I heard you cannot pick the surgeon so it sounds like a bit of a bet, which doesn’t feel good.

My question for you is, is there any surgeon considered top or very good quality, either in South America, Europe or Asia that would cost me at most 10k or little more (meaning around 2.5€ per graft)?

I have reached out to Camacho as well, waiting for a reply.

Basically wondering if the combo between very good/top quality, booking within 6 months and price around 10k is even possible or realistic.

I’m open to all suggestions, thanks a lot!

Hi all,

I am now going into my 2nd month post HT. I am basically in the hair shredding stage at this moment so a bit itchy but nothing crazy.

I have been using Johnson baby shampoo for washing and some light sensitive skin moisturiser when I get some dry skin.

I am from the UK and I am wondering if there is a need now for me to be using some sort of spray or meds to improve hair growth? Or do I just wait and leave it now. I did speak to the clinic and they said not to take anything but from what I have seen on here, everyone is taking some sort or oral med or spray med to improve growth?

A clinic would likely only put out their successes, not their failures, so how much can these be trusted? What does a truly natural hairline look like? Is past success at all indicative of future performance? Where do I start?

I've been looking through the mega list that the sub here has, and this is super helpful as a start, but I don't really know what to do with these names. I'm a big fan of spreadsheets, pro/con lists, etc, but I have no idea how to go about quantifying or even qualifying different surgeons for this. Any advice on how to do rigorous due diligence would be greatly appreciated.

What do yo

34M just booked my HT at Absolute Hair Clinic for next July after years of research and feeling pretty excited. A little nervous though because I tend to get dizzy/light-headed and briefly pass out when getting my blood drawn (or even if I see a lot of my own blood). I believe this is technically known as "vasovagal syncope." Has anyone here who suffers from this kind of thing had a HT? How did it go? Based on most people's experiences it seems like the surgery isn't that bad overall and the numbing shots are the most painful part, but I'm not really concerned about the pain itself just my body kind of going into shock and freaking out.

Hello everyone!

Finally after so many months I have my scheduled appointment in 2,5 days: I think I have everything ready, among Grab, esim, button up shirt, a bandanna, an umbrella, a hotel near the clinic and Wise. I have some questions tho:

1. I know that for the first days I have to live as a hermit in the hotel. Do you have any suggestion for the last days? Are there any interesting places I can safely visit on the 4th/5th day? And what about places to buy some souvenirs for my family?

2. When I order via Grab can I bring the food in my hotel room? How does it work? I wait outside the hotel or do they come in front of the hotel room?

3. Do I have to be careful with ATMs? In Italy some ATMs are straight up scams

I'm very anxious about the trip, I hope everything goes well

If I use the topical finasteride minoxidil spray, are there any risks of side effects to toddlers (girls) or spouse? I’ve searched and found some stating there are side effects.
