    Default HT Round #3 - 4600 Grafts Dr. Hasson - Progress Thread w/ pics

    Goals of 3rd HT:

    Refine and increase density of hair line
    Close temple angles
    Best possible coverage top and crown
    Maximal graft yield

    Experience:

    Dr. Hasson and his team did a great job again from A to Z. Without a doubt my #1 choice. I was hoping for a higher graft yield but the density of the donor area did not allow for more. As you can see the sides on the top did not receive any grafts. Instead focus was given to the center area and increasing density for this area. Dr. Hasson commented that there is more donor hair available if needed.

    HT History:

    2002, 650 Hairline FUE Grafts, Dr. Gho
    2004, 1800 Hairline Strip Grafts, Dr. Hasson
    2010, 4600 Hairline & Crown Grafts, Dr. Hasson

    Total: 7050 grafts

    Hairloss History:

    Diffuse hair loss started being noticeable 10 years back when 20 years old
    Gradually progressing since then despite regimen

    Current Regimen:

    0.5 mg Avdart daily
    Rogaine Foam 5% 2x daily
    Graftcyte conditioner daily
    Nizoral shampoo (4 weeks after HT)
    Miconazolnitrat Creme 2% 1x daily morning
    Clotrimazol Creme 2% 1x daily night
    3000 mg MSM daily
    Biotin/Zinc/Vitamin B supplements daily

    My goal is to get back to a proper hair length and coverage asap. If anyone has any more comments on my regimen to achieve this please let me know.

    I will be updating this thread with pictures gradually as a payback for all the great help I have received in this forum. Next update will be at the day 20 mark.

    Questions, feedback and other comments are welcome.

    Question

    Thanks for sharing your story and the details of your procedures. You've obviously had a lot of work done, do you think that Avodart is helping you and have you had any side effects from it?
    You look great by the way!

    I've been taking Avodart for over 5 years now and believe it has slowed my hairloss but also think it is loosing more and more effect. It has done a lot of damage to my front initially.

    In after-sight I regret jumping from Proscar to Avodart as Proscar back then had stopped my loss but I was hoping for better regrowth with Avodart. Since I did the switch I did not dare to go back to the "weaker" Proscar again.

    That's a tough situation. I guess the promise of even less DHT when taking Avodart has prompted a lot of guys to switch. Well as long as you're not having any side effects it looks like you're in good shape. Good luck with the growth and please keep us posted.

    Default Day 20 progress

    Day 20 update is attached. As one can see and as expected there is lots of sock loss going on and it appears the grafts have shedded to a large percentage.
    Recovery is going well - the scar are is still pretty swollen but I hope the swelling will normalize soon. Next update at the one month mark - day 30.

    wow, it looks great man! I have the same type of hairloss as you....DIFFUSE. I think your wrong about the avodart, it was actually the best the you did for yourself. Propecia is too weak for diffuse hairloss. I learned this the hard way. After 1 year of trying out propecia, it did absolutely nothing except make my acne worse. Avodart, although its still doing nothing for me (i'm on month 5), at least when I'm at the hairtransplant stage I would know that I gave this fight everything I had and spending $45,000 wouldnt hurt so much.

    Default 60 days

    60 days / 2 months update

    Not much to report. Seems like I won some ground in the shock loss area. Hair quality and growth speed is fair which I attribute to my herbs treatment. No graft growth yet.

    Next update day 90 = 3 months.

    Whats Up Bro. If you dont mind me asking, how much have you spent on Transplants?? This might be a stupid question but i know the type of hair loss matters in coverage and expectations but i always wondered if the size of you head may benefit you or not?

    Another question since it seems you have much experience. I noticed that doctors tell patients to get on medical therapy (Propecia, Avodart) before getting a transplant but what i found strange is that they tell people who are completely bald as well? Does this mean that even if medical therapy is not working for you as far as hair growth or complete stoppage, it still benefits your transplanted hair???
