    Cool talk about shock loss

    i have 2 pics for ya'll

    the first is one month AFTER my 2200 graft HT. i also started propecia 1 week after the HT....as you can tell i had some serious hair falling out

    the 2nd pic is a couple of days ago around the 2 month mark

    i just wanted to show this because if im not stressing over my hair too much then nobody should, cause i had some serious loss for awhile lol

    Thanks for sharing these. It looks like your hair is really filling in the second picture, congrats! I don't think anyone’s judging about the ribcage or the blanket, but the MC Hammer pants in the first picture might get some comments.

    thetitan,

    One of the things I recommend to guys starting out is to get started on Propecia or any other hairloss drug at least 6 months before any procedure. Some patients react with shedding from proepcia, minoxidil, and some of the shedding can be substantial.

    And then they often experience shockloss from the surgery and get hit with a double whammy.

    Even if you do some shedding from starting Propecia right after surgery, the hair follicles will rest and then start growing again.

    Happy growing to you...
