Excellent!!!

Congrats!!!

Makes me so glad I chose Dr Rahal!!

Dude

It is a FACT you will lose more hair without the meds. The transplanted hair will stay forever. Good luck

2ml is actually the recommended dose per day...I know most of us probably go a little heavy on the minox to cover everything but that is actually the recommended dose!!

I somewhat agree with the above post....I think you have excellent donor available so that is not a concern...I would get on propecia regularly and I would also lean to starting rogaine..especially in the crown for you as you could really thicken up in the crown with rogaine,,COULD, maybe not though...also, you are in NO need for a megasession!! I think 2/k would do you excellent!!

Some people think it may reduce shock loss if you take it..Im not buying that because I got hammered pretty hard in the recipient area, however, I do think it is very important to take just to hold on to any native hair you may have left..

Looks like its cleans usual..ready for results..

Yea unfortunately its just not gonna be like it was when we were 16..

See what the meds do for a year, you may experience significant growth..IMHO, the only reason you are not a candidate is because you just started meds...other than that you seem to be an ideal candidate for surgery!!

That really is an unbelievable transformation!!

I would doubt very seriously if you would shed from just the shampoo without using the whole system..however, I know Spex is a big believer in shedding if you use to much Nizoral so I guess anything is possible...I would give it more time...I love that shampoo!!

Man thats great...makes me look forward to having gray hair!!

Man, the topic of shampoo has become popular around here lately...NO SHAMPOO will regrow hair...however, some great one to use are revita, revivogen(thats what I use) and Nizoral...only use Nizoral a couple of times a week..thats all that its needed...

In the end...shampoo can help, but you need to use it in conjunction with Rogaine and Propecia..

Nice work Dr Lidsey. Good work. Heal and grow well.

I used revivogen couple of times a few years ago and I lost even more hair. I sent it back for a refund. It doesn't work. They sell dreams. Don't fall into the trap like a lot of people.

This is simply not true IMO. There are shampoos that really help keep your hair healthy. It ISNOT gonna regrow any hair, but it's a nice compliment. Also, ketoconzole which is found in Nizoral shampoo has been found to be as effective as 2% minoxid.

I will echo what Capelli said: actually started trying it based on Caps recommendation, however, I throw in Nizoral on Sundays and Wednesdays!!

I don't know if they can cause hair loss, but I know per Dr Rahal two weeks post op you can't smoke because it could cause bad growth..

Excellent as usual!!

52 days...fine!!!! Janna once said after like 14 days you would have to have a graft surgically removed so try not to worry!

Congrats Dave!!!

Excellent work...Im about to go "celestial" as well....the only difference between me and you, is like Bill said, you have 2000 educational post that are very informative!! I just have posts, none of which are very informative!!ha

Wow!!!

Ok guys

Just thought I would pass this along....a lot of people are now concerned that finasteride can lead to a higher rate of high grade prostate cancer...well, this was actually found out while they were doing a study to see if it would decrease your risk for prostate cancer...well, I think the findings were it decreased low grade prostate cancer and slightly increased the risk for high grade prostate cancer...Im a big fan of finasteride..I look at the positives, it stops hair loss and and prevents low grade cancer....

AS FOR IT CAUSING CANCER: Ive ALWAYS said this: if there were a study done on apples, it would show apples increased your risk for a certain type of cancer...well here is that study...

A study on the intake of Vitamin E has shown to INCREASE THE RISK FOR PROSTATE CANCER!! Im gonna put the link to the study, I hope that is okay...

I would certainly be looking at Dr Lindsey. If he says excise grafts, I wouldnt think twice about it! If he says leave them in and we will camoflauge, well then that answers that as well. Good luck!
