Wanted to share my 6.5 month update ~3000 grafts. I'd like your thoughts and opinions

Hey guys, I came here several months back for some help (and admittedly on some other hair loss forums), and I appreciated all the help I got and tons of information available. I received a little over 3000 grafts. I'd like your honest opinions, thoughts, and even criticisms. I'm a harsh critic myse...

I want to get on Rogain/Minoxidil without it exacerbating my dandruff problem, advice?

Anyone here (who's had dandruff problems they need to constantly control) had any luck with minoxidil not making the problem worse? I ask because the last time I used it (several years ago) it got really itchy and made my dandruff worse.

Any advice?

What's the consensus on using minoxidil/fin immediately after a hair transplant?

Especially if you've never (or rarely) used them before? I heard there was a shedding phase and whatnot with each drug, the idea is I want to do everything I can to not only help the new grafts I received grow, but also make sure existing hairs don't fall. My biggest concern is ensure that nothing b...

Getting transplant soon (2000+ grafts) - Need your advice on expectations [Pics Here]

Hey everyone, So I've finally embarked on this journey and am scheduled to receive my transplant soon. One thing I've read/seen a lot of was before the surgery the surgeon typically draws what they're going to do and asks the patient if they're satisfied. So to prepare myself, I decided to get as mu...

Does dandruff affect a hair transplant in any way?

Quick question guys, as a regular sufferer of dandruff (and someone who has to constantly control it by switching up shampoos, etc), is there any advice you'd give me prior and post to my hair transplant? How have some of you dandruff sufferers dealt with it yourself?

Is taking fin right after a hair transplant a bad idea, due to shock loss?

I heard that there is 'shock loss' when people start taking fin, but that it eventually makes up for it.

Is it a bad idea to take fin along right after you've had a hair transplant, or could it have a negative effect on the newly implanted hairs?

Re: Norwood III-IV and going to receive ~2000 grafts. Will people in my office notice?

Perhaps I should have added, would any of you have some good recommendations for pictures by people who were in a similar position to me, receiving the same number of grafts?

Norwood III-IV and going to receive ~2000 grafts. Will people in my office notice?

I'm scheduled to get my surgery soon and have decided I'm going through with it. I work in an office, and will be taking about a week off work the day of the surgery. My question is, will people notice that I did something? At the end of the day I suppose it doesn't matter, but I'd really prefer not...

Looking to get a transplant in Michigan from Dr. Aronovitz of Tessler & Aronovitz. Anyone heard of them? Any advice you could offer me?

I'm in my late 20's and have officially (after a lot of reading) considering a transplant, it will be for around 2000 grafts.

I have a few questions...one has anyone heard of these doctors and two, any advice/suggestions you could offer me?
