Advice urgently need. Joe, advice would be great please

You're right to be concerned. 1500 grafts on a NW4A is a waste of time but before surgery he should consider the preventative options first. If he has sides or doesn't respond well in general he'll be chasing his hair loss with more surgeries.

He should enlist the advice of a real expert in FUE. Dr. Lupanzula is going to be in London on January 28th so you should encourage him to take advantage of this opportunity. Dr. L will give him the truth about his situation and what is and is not reasonable for his case.

Thank you for replying joe, your response was the one I was waiting for. I agree fully with your thoughts and relayed similar concerns to my boss, but I fear he has been sold the dream.

The procedure is due for the 15th of Feb. He won't have even been on propecia and minox for more than a month by then, which I find totally unethical for his surgeon to think is okay.

Secondly, my boss is set to attend a holiday to Mexico not long after the procedure, and the surgeon failed to mention that he shouldn't expose his transplant to direct sunlight and told him it would be fine.

I really do fear this will end horribly, but my boss is just convinced it will all be okay and will work out. I don't think he appreciates how serious a procedure he is about to undergo.

I myself and still not at a hair transplant required level yet, but when I reach that level, you can bet I'd research the hell out of it, not just rush in. I think he's going with the ignorance is bliss approach.

I just hope by some miracle this doesn't end up the disaster I'm convinced it will be.

Thanks for the responses guys. Very helpful.
