Is Hair Thinning at 22 Months Post Hair Transplant Normal with Propecia and Minoxidil?
At 6 months post hair transplant I was happy with the results. At 12 months likewise. Even at 20 months I was was happy. My transplanted hair was less curly. Now at 22 months I noticed that my hair has thinned out. I have been taking propecia and oral minoxidil from the second month post hair transplant 5 mg per day with the exception that I missed the 21st month. Is this thinning normal ?

Noticing thinning at 22 months can be concerning. The truth is, hair thinning can occur even if the patient is taking medications like propecia and minoxidil. This could be due to various reasons such as genetics, stress, or missed doses of medications you mentioned in the 21st month. Talk about it with your medical team to find some solutions.

Hi I am 38 years and I am from Jaipur. I have been facing a gradual hair thinning problem since my early 30's. I have researched about Hair transplant, But I'm a little confused about the after looks. Does it look natural or will people understand that I am wearing something artificial?
No, hair transplant never looks artificial because the hair angle is placed as the natural hairline.

I'm 21 years old male and having heirloss issue at crown part, having problems since 3 years.
Male | 21
This implies a notable hair recession in the top area of the head. These problems may happen because of some patterns of your genetics, hormonal disorders, and mainly out of stress. These can be stressful, but here we also have some natural remedies. But before anything else, the best call is to get a dermatologist or else you can talk to hair transplant surgeon if the case is severe

Hello Doctor my name is Anup, I m sufferings from burn eyebrow need to transplant it should possible.
Male | 31
Yes, burned eyebrows can be treated with eyebrow transplants. The procedure involves take hair follicles from some parts of your body and transplanting them in the area where your eyebrows are burnt. I advise you to please consult a reputed hair transplant surgeon for it. After proper evaluation, he will tell you whether you are eligible for eyebrow transplant or need some other treatment.

When can i touch my transplanted hair?
Male | 26
I would recommend that you avoid touching your transplanted hair for at least 10 days after the surgery. Touching the hair or scalp may cause damage to the transplanted hair follicles, which can affect the growth of new hair. It is important to follow the doctor's instructions carefully to ensure the best results from your hair transplant procedure.

I'm a 30 year old guy who's been dealing with hair loss for a while now. I've been seriously considering a hair transplant, and I'm curious about the outcomes. Can u provide insights on what to expect 5 years after a hair transplant?
Male | 30
I would recommend that you seek the opinion of an experienced hair transplant specialist to help decide on what treatment plan will work best for your situation. There are many factors to consider for finalizing any particular treatment plan. Although hair transplant surgery may work for certain individuals, one should bear in mind that results are not always consistent and can take up to several months after the operation before they become fully visible. For more details, contact a hair transplant surgeon.

I am 19 years old...3 month notice my heavy hair fall then I am decide full hair cut but i am notice that my middle part not grow up and bladness...i am appointment you please solve the problem
Male | 19
Your hair is falling out severely and you are experiencing baldness in the central part of your scalp. This could be a case of alopecia areata. Symptoms include sudden loss of hair in patches. Psychological pressure, heredity, or autoimmune disorders may be the reasons for this. Consult a dermatologist who can recommend treatments such as topical medications or injections to stimulate hair growth.

Right now Treatment has to be only addressing hair fall, with proteins in diet, anti hair fall supplementations, going light on shampoos and conditioners .After the sudden hair fall has got arrested then hair thinning can be addressed and later after consulting dermatologist, he can decide hair transplant is required on not.

How to cover head after hair transplant?
Male | 33
When covering your head, opt for a hat that allows proper airflow. It shouldn't press against the newly transplanted area. A loose-fitting, clean cap made of soft material is often recommended. Get your head covering approved by your surgeon, and follow their guidelines for the post-transplant period to support optimal healing and results.

Hello ma'am, I am a 27 years old girl. My hair has gotten thinner. I wanted to have a permanent solution. So I would like to go for a hair transplant. But I am not bald, it's just I want it to look good. Should I go for surgery?
At 27 years of age in females, the decision to go in for hair transplantation has to be taken after a proper checkup and trichscopic examination ( microscopic evaluation of scalp along with the hair shafts ). But as an overview you can understand that hair transplant is not done in females for hair fall or generalized thinning but when the thinning has gone to the extent of visible skin showing through the thinning of the hair. Before it reaches this stage of visible loos there are other more conservative methods of treatment and therapies which can be of help and should be tried first. In case the loss is to the extent that at places skin is visible more esp at the place of parting or the front or the middle portion of the head then it is an indication to go for hair transplantation in females.

I am 21 can i eligible for hair transplant?
Male | 21
One of the factors that influence eligibility for a hair transplant includes age. Although there is no strict age limit, the stability of your hair loss pattern should be considered. Typically, hair transplants will be recommended for individuals whose menu of baldness is stabilizing around their late 20’s or older; this gives them a better sense about what the future patterns would look like. Furthermore, overall health, availability of donor hairs and rational expectations surrender to a decision on eligibility.

Yes, you can try PRP treatment. But it is essential to first consult with an experienced hair transplant surgeon. Based on your medical history and other factors, he will determine if you are the right candidate for PRP treatment or not. If not, he may suggest some alternative treatments that may help you manage your hair loss.
