To determine the necessary number of grafts, I need a frontal picture with your hair pulled back and your eyebrows lifted high so that your forehead creases. This will show me the anatomic point that allows me to determine the proper position of the hair line. The estimate will vary with the thickness of your hair. You will require more grafts if your hair is fine and fewer grafts for if your hair is coarse. If I had to guess where the hairline is, I would expect to do 2500+ grafts with fine hair and possibly 1600 grafts with coarse hair.

I think that your hairline has an unusual design. It has been built with distinct mounds that are not normally found. If you don’t like your hairline design, a another hair transplant built with a good transition zone will help fix this problem but be sure you find a doctor who can do this. I have discussed hairline design here: https://baldingblog.com/2017/08/31/take-look-transplants-think-photo/

Great story. When you start early with the approach you used (like prior to the age of 21), the likeliness of these types of results increase significantly. Many times, different hair forums focus on the worst problems that people experience and too few come forward to tell their positive stories, which I know are much more common than most people realize. Congratulations.

Doctor,

I have been on Propecia for close to 6 months now and am noticing some hair regrowth on the crown of my head. Over the same period of time, I have also noticed meaningful thinning of the hair on my legs, in particular in the shin area. I have read that reduction of DHT may lead to loss of body hair. While that is not a cause of major concern, I am worried that it may also lead to the thinning and loss of the eyebrows, as some propecia blogs have suggested. Are you aware of such a side effect and is there any medication to counter the loss of eyebrow hair? Thanks.

I have heard some reports (not actual medical studies, but patient reports) that loss of body (chest/leg) hair may be a side effect of Propecia. One patient reported that his chest hair disappeared and I was envious. However I have not heard about eyebrow hair loss with Propecia use. If it is, then it is rare. Even if there is some thinning of these hairs, in all likelihood it is a temporary problem. There are no medications to counter the loss of eyebrow hair.

Patients who respond to finasteride (many photos)

Dr. Robert Bernstein has put together a terrific group of before and after photos from people who used medications such as finasteride, without surgery. Look at this link: https://www.bernsteinmedical.com/medical-treatment/patient-photos/

I am a 30 years old male, I did a perm 5 years ago to make my fine hair look a bit curly, so that it did not look as limp as it used to
be, that was actually the suggestion from the hair stylist based on my soft fine hair, I initially wanted to make it volumized, so he
provided the service of perm to my hair.

After five years, the effect of perm has been already gone for a long time. However, I roughly felt my hair growing a little strange in
recent years as the perm changed the growing pattern or direction to my hair, the hair did not follow the normal straight way to grow, so I
am wondering does it cause some extent of damage to my hair root? Thank you.

Perming your hair does not cause hair loss in general. Sometimes you can harm the hair or irritate the scalp with harsh chemicals involved but hairs generally grow back. Especially after 5 years the correlation of a perm and hair loss/texture changes seem less of a correlation.

Doctor I read that oysters raise testosterone levels. Can a person who has genetic balding lose more hair by eating oysters?

ANSWER: I doubt that there is an association between balding and eating oysters. Balding is hard grained in your DNA. Only taking steroids by mouth, could accelerate balding. I would doubt that any reasonably good food would impact hair loss as it is just the genes that dictate your balding status.

I got a hair cut in May and all my hair was growing except one spot
not its july and it’s getting bigger.

I would see a doctor about this. It may be alopecia areata from just the photo alone. If it is alopecia areata your hair will grow back over time without any treatment. But it may also return and it even can progress. See a doctor and get a definitive diagnosis.

This week I saw a man who had a transplant of 3000 grafts… and did not look normal. His examination showed a very low donor density and very fine hair, yet the doctor who did the surgery had placed these 3000 grafts uniformly around his entire, very large Class 7 balding area. The patient regretted his decision to do this surgery. Unfortunately, his options were limited and his doctor should have given him the information to avoid this terrible mistake.

Had I seen him before his surgery, I wouldn’t have been able to help him; however; today because of Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) there is an obvious solution. To help him make his decision, we decided to first address his large wide scar with SMP. Then with his scar taken care of, he can shave his head very closely and see what he would look like if he decided to have SMP all over his head. This would be an incremental decision for him, giving him the time to judge this last step.

What failed him was his previous doctor who never told him that he did not have enough hair to reconstruct his extreme balding pattern, nor was he told about scarring risks. The doctor painted a good picture and like most patients who believe in their doctors, he wanted to believe that his doctor was addressing his best interests. As there is no going back now, the solution of SMP to the entire head would give him the look of a buzz cut (see scalpmicropigment.com)
