Can I Scream, Sing or Do Things That Raise My Blood Pressure 8 Days After a Hair Transplant?

Hi doctor, excuse me if i contact you again about the same topic. You already told me in another website that singing 8 days after hair transplant (FUE) isn’ t a problem. However, in that website, it wasn’t possible to use many words to explain my situation, so I’ll try here. I am a professional singer, and I sing high notes (which is equivalent to a “controlled” scream ). I read that, after a hair transplant, you can’t shout for some days (to avoid raise blood pressure), but I didn’t understand why you can’t shout (and also sing high notes). I am worried because 8-10 days after my hair transplant (FUE), I started to sing high notes. So I ask: if the pressure had increased, would I have risked something for my grafts? ( I repeat, 8-10 days after FUE.) Or you don’t have to scream only the first days? (If yes, how many days? ) I didn’t bleed.

You can sing, scream or do whatever you want, even run a marathon as early as 4 days after a hair transplant. The grafts should be well set in 4 days.

No Growth 6 Months After My Hair Transplant!

I had a transplant done exactly 6 months ago. I was under the impression that between months 5 and 6 post-operation I would start to see the new grafts growing in. I have seen nothing, or very little. Does this mean it won’t grow in or something is wrong? I’m getting a little worried about it.

Why don’t you call your doctor who performed the surgery and ask for a follow up appointment? If I paid for something that didn’t turn out the way I thought it would, I’d contact the seller. Although you could apply that logic to buying a used car, this same principle goes for cosmetic surgery. If you were told one thing and it hasn’t happened, take charge and find out from the doctor!

Generally speaking, it takes on the average 4 months to see some growth, but it can take as long as 12 months. Everybody is different and not all surgeries are the same. You may be a late bloomer!

Can the Microwave Oven Cause My Hair Loss?

My hair exposed from the heat of the microwave oven. is this possible that my hair will burned? what if i saw my hair been fall down. i saw pieces that is burned what are the effects of this?? Thank you

MicrowaveDid you stick your head in the microwave and manage to turn it on? There are safeguards in place in most (or all) microwave ovens to prevent you from turning it on while the door is open, but assuming you somehow did… I really don’t know what effect it would have on your hair.

If there was heat and you manged to burn your hair at the scalp level, causing 2nd degree burns to your scalp, I would venture to say you may have permanent hair loss.

Your question is very strange. But with that said… using a microwave oven in a normal way would not cause hair loss.

Non-Surgical Treatments for Postmenopausal Women?

I am a 55 year old woman within my 3rd year of full menopause. My hair is thinning noticeably at the crown and in the front, not so much in the back. I am concerned that I have inherited my mother and maternal grandmother’s hair loss; they had very thick hair until they reached my age and from there on it was a systematic hair loss. My father on the other hand had all his hair until he died at the age of 60.

My question is what can I do to stop the hair loss, and is there any treatment for recovering hair loss? Is there any promising treatment for women that does not involve surgery?
Thank you

The only medication that is proven to work for women is Minoxidil. It only works in some women. Many substances are sold with promises that just aren’t true. Hold onto your money and be careful not to get caught up in any scam.

I would see a doctor to be sure that you do not have other causes of hair loss and have your hair mapped out for miniaturization to be sure of the diagnosis. Female genetic hair loss has a unique pattern shown under high power visualization.

Can You Get More Grafts from Strip or FUE Over a Lifetime?

Many thanks doctors for providing help to all of us!! Your blog is very interesting.

How many grafts it is possible to extract from a caucasian male with an average donor supply over the course of his life? Does it make a difference whether it is a FUE or strip? 9,000?

This is a debate among many hair transplant doctors themselves. In my opinion, you would get the most number of grafts and hairs with the strip procedure over a lifetime to make an overall cosmetic difference. FUE (follicular unit extraction) grafts can sometimes have less hairs per graft than those harvested using the strip method. So over a lifetime FUE grafts may produce less coverage.

For maximum harvest in a theoretical scenario, you would maximize the grafts with the strip then use the FUE method when the donor area is more limited.

Not Hair Loss News – Inventor of Female Contraceptive Pill Says They Know How to Develop a Male Pill

Snippet from the interview with Carl Djerassi, “father” of the The Pill:

Djerassi himself was snipped in his early fifties; his daughter was sterilised at 25, convinced the world didn’t need more babies and she’d adopt if necessary. But will there be a male Pill?

“Never. This has nothing to do with science; we know exactly how to develop them. But there’s not a single pharmaceutical company that will touch this, for economic and socio-political rather than scientific reasons. Their focus is on diseases of a geriatric population: diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular, Alzheimer’s. Male contraception is nothing compared with an anti-obesity drug. Plus, men are preoccupied with the side-effects. Men who start taking it at 18 will ask, ‘Will I still be able to have a child 30 years later?’ How do you answer? To prove that is monstrously difficult and expensive. No one would spend that amount of money.”

Read the rest — Carl Djerassi: ‘We know exactly how to develop the male pill, but there’s not a single pharmaceutical company that will touch it’

Can You Use Leg or Body Hair for Eyebrow Transplants?

Can You Use Leg or Body Hair for Eyebrow Transplants? I understand that if you use head hair for eyebrow transplants, the hair will keep growing longer than the other hairs on the eyebrow and I don’t like cutting my eyebrows.

leg-hair

Leg hair has a different hair cycle than head hair. Some body hair has 70% of its life cycle in telogen (sleep) and does not appear on the recipient area transplanted therefore but 30% of the time. So a successful eyebrow transplant with body hair, will keep to its growth cycle. It will disappoint the recipient as only about 70% of the hair will grow at any one time, even if it was successfully transplanted. There is no way to stop head hair moved into the eyebrow from growing. I generally joke to my patients that they can grow a pony tail from an eyebrow transplant. So basically, you will have to cut these hairs twice a week or so, and when you cut them, they must be cut on an angle making the tip look sharp.

Not Sure If I’m Losing Hair from MPB or From Significant Weight Loss

I am a 24 year old male who has lost a lot of weight in the last 8 months. I feel like my hair is thinning but am not sure. I haven’t noticed any excessive shedding, my hairline is the same, but my hair does feel a little thinner. I’m not sure if it’s due to weight loss or the beginnings male pattern hair loss (my family does have a history of it).

My question is would it be bad to get on Propecia now even if I am unsure as to whether or not i have male pattern baldness? and if i’m not balding would it be bad to start taking propecia for preventative measures? i.e. If I start propecia can it jump start male pattern balding?

and do you know of any places in Sacramento that do the miniaturization test?

Weight loss produces dietary problems which can cause hair loss, particularly if you are genetically prone to it. Genetic male pattern baldness (MPB) is the most common cause of hair loss or hair thinning in men. It occurs special “patterns” — as the term implies. If you have MPB, any good dermatologist can diagnose this problem and prescribe you Propecia (finasteride 1mg) as an option. Only a doctor can prescribe you Propecia. Propecia does NOT jump start hair growth from male pattern baldness. It slows it down as a rule.
