I’m not medical expert. Suggest consult surgeon

White hair is still precious. Can still turn back to black if adjust lifestyle. So I request white hair also can extract and plant it

Realized I missed your question

When you are older we will still have some donor hair, albeit less quality. Clinic I went to, their oldest patient is 80 years old. Lol. Average patient age is mid-30s

Norwood 1/2 no need transplant la. Graft extracted can only last few hours outside your body so on same day must get it planted

You can begin dyeing grafted hair few months later once you have fuller hair

They also plant at other regions. You are not seeing hair at the middle/top part because there are still original hairs there and yet to grow. They put more at the forehead because I no longer have hairs there, thus bringing down my hairline a lot

Long hair is a good problem to have :-)

How old and what’s his Norwood scale before transplant?

For smaller number of grafts I think no need to go fully bald, especially if you only do the frontal zone. Ladies hair transplant for example

Transplanted hair will stay permanent. More grafting needed once the remaining original hair on your head start to shed

You don't get to choose la. Need to trust the surgeon and the team for doing their best

During lunch time I saw my extracted grafts they put in a blue saline container...each got 2 - 3 hairs per graft...I guess is to ensure higher survival rate?

My hair is straight. If you have curly hairs I guess you need to find experienced surgeon that have done that before

Thanks yes I will. The only cure now is to alter the gene for newborn but it’s unethical 😊

Yes I went fully bald because it's a major surgery. If small number of grafts, then maybe no need fully bald

MC start on the day you have your surgery. 2nd day you need to come back for head wash. Technically you only need 2 days MC. No side effect la. Pain you experience only when they inject anesthetic into your scalp at the start of procedure. After that no more pain.

You can take bath on the same day of surgery after you get home, they'll wrap your head with surgeon cap. Just don't wet your head

They extract from the back of your head

Currently I’m going through hair shock loss process. After few weeks fingers crossed it’ll grow again. Very anxious


Btw it’s transplant, not implant. Implant is where you use synthetic hair. Transplant is where you use donor hair. Like heart implant they put mechanical pump whereas heart transplant they’ll use donor’s heart

Like I said in my first post, I don't have the right head shape

It doesn't burn a hole in my pocket because I've set aside the $$ already. I treat it as investment

Yupe

Updated first post with 1 month progress photo

Transplant hair stay permanent throughout your lifetime.

Thanks

I saw it’s quite common in the entertainment industries like celebrities or those that need to appear a lot on public / camera

Normally those that continue to shed are original hair, not transplanted hair.

Many who did hair transplant in their 20s will come back in their 30s for 2nd treatment as long as still have enough healthy donors

I don’t think so. It cost RM120 for 30 tablets

Now all places offer FUE already. No more clinics offer FUT already because there are so many disadvantages to it. Almost impossible to find places that offer FUT

The drugs are used to stimulate growth of original hair that remained on top of our head

Transplanted hair don’t need those

True. Even if you have best head shape majority of people, Asian women especially actually find balding man are very unattractive...contrary to what many online articles are saying
