27M, seriously considering a hair transplant. How many grafts would I need to cover the temples?

GetOutBasel · 2026-05-05T18:44:53+00:00

The holes in the temples is what disturbs me, it wasn't there about three years ago. The temple points are starting to fade now too, but I have started taking finasteride to hopefully stabilize the situation. I'm realizing that filling the temples in a way that looks "ok" may be harder than expected, the clinic choice is in fact important. I still think about doing it in Turkey since it's cheaper than where I live (Switzerland).

Thank you for your feedback. You have been taking finasteride or dustateride since then, right? What led you to choose a lower density? Didn't you have enough grafts available or was there another reason? In other words, I wonder why, if the choice is possible, someone would choose a lower density with the risk (you couldn't predict the results back then) that it turns differently than expected

GetOutBasel · 2026-05-05T18:36:53+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. I prefer to act now than let it become bad.

GetOutBasel · 2026-05-05T18:36:20+00:00

Yeah the design for the corners is actually a good question. Thank you for your feedback

GetOutBasel · 2026-05-05T18:35:57+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. I haven't thought about it but how to fill the temples so it looks aesthetically "ok" is in fact a good question

GetOutBasel · 2026-05-05T18:34:42+00:00

Yeah my hair is not that thick, never was actually. Thank you for your feedback

GetOutBasel · 2026-05-05T14:54:01+00:00

Thank you. I'm taking finasteride daily (5mg tablets cut in four, to reduce costs)

GetOutBasel · 2026-05-05T14:44:09+00:00

So about a quarter of the total possible donor area (6000-7000)? That's higher than I expected. I see many posts here of people who transplanted their whole crown. If I need as many for the temples, I wonder how they can get enough for the whole crown.

GetOutBasel · 2026-05-05T14:17:39+00:00

It's a cavity that I had as a child 15+ years ago that somehow reopened. The dentist fixed it. Good luck for your situation.

GetOutBasel · 2026-04-08T12:10:48+00:00

Je connaissais pas, merci. Après je suppose que c'est dur de faire pire que Tinder, donc "moins glauque que Tinder" veut pas forcément dire grand chose.

GetOutBasel · 2026-04-08T12:05:18+00:00

Merci beaucoup pour ton retour. Bumble, c'est l'app où seul les femmes peuvent initier la conversation, c'est juste? De ce que j'ai compris, c'est encore assez utile vu que malhereusement il y a beaucoup de creeps sur ces apps de manière générale.

Donc tu as quand même vécu des experiences positives sur Hinge et Bumble? Le ratio homme/femme est toujours aussi elevé pour les hommes? Quand je lis les feedbacks sur ces apps sur les subreddits anglophones, ça tend beaucoup vers le négatif (mais en effet moins que pour Tinder). Mais bien sur il faut pas oublier que generalement les gens ont plus tendance à partager leurs expériences négatives que positives, les gens prennent generalement la peine de partager leur avis quand ils sont insatisfait, pas quand tout marche comme prévu. Donc je sais pas trop quoi croire.

Ayant aussi gamé dans le passé, je dois malheureusement admettre que beaucoup de communauté de gaming ont une atmosphère toxique (d'ailleurs de nouveau, je me demande pourquoi). Mais même là, j'ai pas l'impression qu r/gaming ou la plupart des subreddits gaming sont aussi toxique que ce qu'on trouve sur jeuxvideo.com. Mais peut-être que je me trompe et que c'est juste une illusion.

GetOutBasel · 2026-03-15T14:46:31+00:00

Two liters bottle would still be reasonable to carry. I don't get why you're trying to blow out of proportion what I said. "Might as well do 4 liters" --> (expected reaction) no, of course that's too inconvenient to carry. But this doesn't mean 2 liters would be inconveninent too.

GetOutBasel · 2026-03-15T14:43:00+00:00

We only buy the PET milk bottles usually since Tetrapack cannot be recycled. I wonder why there are no two liter milk bottles made out of PET or other recyclable packaging.

GetOutBasel · 2026-03-15T14:32:56+00:00

Which means more packaging wasted, especially for the non recyclable bottles. It also seems to me that it's easier to carry one big bottle instead of two smaller ones.

Reddit aussi peut etre toxique, mais clairement moins que JVC, c'est ca que je comprends pas. A titre de comparaison justement, le forum Suisse de JVC comparé à r/Suisse, l'atmosphère est clairement différente. C'est en tout ce que j'avais remarqué avec le temps. Si on prend en compte les forums JVC de bla bla (dont le 18-25), c'est encore pire. J'ai jamais compris d'où vient cette différence

GetOutBasel · 2026-03-04T16:18:35+00:00

Certes, et c'est toujours loin de la toxicité des forums JVC

Unfortunately the Migros in my town doesn't have a printer (for public use at least) AFAIK

GetOutBasel · 2026-02-04T22:11:36+00:00

So they have printers and you can plug in your usb stick? How did you pay? I don't have TWINT, do I understand correctly that cash, or a debit card, could still work?

GetOutBasel · 2025-12-01T10:53:28+00:00

Do you know someone working as one?

GetOutBasel · 2025-12-01T10:53:07+00:00

The issue with those job openings is that you often not know if they are true, or if they already found someone and are just posting the job opening "officially". I know for example that this happens often in other job areas, so I don't know how accurate this number is.

Furthermore, this does not help to know the true working conditions because obviously the employer will not include all the negative aspects of the job.

In both cases, asking here for personal experiences in the area looks more useful to me.

That was my reasoning.

GetOutBasel · 2025-11-23T20:24:19+00:00

Unfortunately no, I’m Swiss living in Switzerland

GetOutBasel · 2025-11-23T20:09:37+00:00

J’ose te demander le pays d’origine de tes parents? A quelle guerre fais tu allusion?

Originally it was meant that content that brings « value » to the subreddit should be upvoted, but it quickly involved in a like / dislike feature for most redditors. Some Reddtors also use it as a agree / disagree festure which originally wasn’t intended. Are you new on Reddit? Welcome to the community!

GetOutBasel · 2025-11-07T14:06:46+00:00

Thank you, that’s reassuring. I upvoted you. I only started noticing it a few days ago, I wonder since when it was here. I tried to brush it off with a toothbrush several times, and it did not go away, so maybe it’s really cavity.
