Recently I saw in YouTube many US artists flew to Turkey and paid USD2k with accommodation and limo provided.

Thailand I saw there's promo for THB 120k

So I felt the RM12k cost is quite alright.

Just treat it as investment like how you put down payment for property

1. will the transplanted hair have the same shedding rate as the other original hair?
like will it look denser than the neighbourhood when the neighbourhood's original hairs start to shed in the future and end up looking patchy?

2. will the donor area look patchy if you always have crew cut?

3. if the area to transplant still has some original hair, will the transplanted hairs affect the original hairs there?

4. where do u find hair to transplant if you have little hair to begin with?

5. do you go out with a hat during the first few days?

Permanent?

Not going to replant like 5 years later

It's permanent. After 48 hrs transplanted hair will stay there for lifetime and the only way to remove it is by surgery

Damn. So scary. sad.gif

Lucky me, my dad, none of my uncle close relative have this issue.

Of course not all men perfect. I have slight issue with asthma then. And in my younger years, my face infested with those nasty volcanic pimple.

Where to get oral minox?

Did you doc prescribe it to you?

Did you take oral minox before the transplant? I heard it’s godlike in encourage hair growth. Did it not work? Transplant should be the last thing to do cos it’s way too invasive and expensive

I’m probably at stage 1.5. Early 30’s. All my male relatives bald. So far finasteride has been a saver. Happy with my hair now but am also greedy for fuller hairline so that I can rock a Leon Kennedy hair style. Considering oral minox

Great to hear the transplant working well for you.

Say in your 50s down the road, will you (all of us) have enough donor cells for grafting new bald spots?

Does it make sense to make preparation of grafting early on, like in Scale 1-2? Healthier hair follicles or blacker hair colour maybe?

If you colour/dye your grafted hair, will the colour/chemical damage the graft?

1. I don't think so. Grafts are harvested from the back of your head. The hair on my back doesn't shed a lot compared to the top

2. I haven't had my hair cut. It's patchy the first 2 weeks post surgery but beginning this week it look normal already after hair grow back

3. This depend on the skills and experience of the surgeon

4. I heard can take from beard...but not enough graft

5. I wear the blue surgeon head cap for the first week at home in order not to scare my family. Whenever I go out I will wear cap.

It will behave like normal hair growth cycle. If hair fall off will grow back because the transplanted follicle remain there

If ur dad is full bald and ur pattern is going to full bald too , no matter how many times u do hair transplant also it wont help becoz hair transplant take from donor to plant on balding area which mean ur hair count will remain same and ur balding still continue going on different area . So at the end u will end up not enuf hair count to cover ur head and look super thin hair too

It's permanent. Transplant hair won't fall off. As you aged those that continue to shed are the original hair remaining on top of your head

really? interesting... if that's the case..... RM12k for a permanent life time solution is worth it. might consider

what is the area of coverage for 4300 graft?

Nop it is not 100% guarantee will stay . Thy take the donor from the area which less impact by DHT example back or side of head and some ppl when grow older , side and back also go thin or bald right . And after surgery most doc will ask u better take medicine to slow down balding too .
Dont trust watever sales person / doc said , they are juz sugarcoat it . U go c youtube alot done transplant but still hairs will drop .
