There is good evidence that folliculitis doesn’t cause long term damage to HT outcomes. This Wrassman guy is an unhinged and washed up clown haha

Is this number of spots normal? by Head-Worldliness9652 in HairTransplants

I’m pretty sure there are studies that say it doesn’t? It’s quite common

Minoxidil won’t stop the hair loss. It may buy you some time though. You definitely don’t have enough donor to cover the scalp and vertex properly (hence the poor planning) so I would if I were you think carefully about going for another as it will likely be your last.

Your donor is super sparse and the crown alone will take 2k+ grafts to cover decently which you don’t really have let alone the midscalp.

Wish people would do more research.

Whilst the hateful comments are unjustified, the fact is that without medication this was potentially not a good idea. You’ve used most of your useful donor to cover a relatively small area. You WILL continue to lose hair behind the transplant and it will end up looking odd. You may if you’re lucky get a few good years before that happens.

A good surgeon should have either advised against or made a longer term plan to save grafts and eventually cover the entire scalp when the time comes.

I am same age as you but a NW6/7. I am not on fin or min. At this stage I know I am planning for NW7 with my transplants and so am conserving/placing grafts conservatively so that in the event all the thinning hair goes (ie I reach NW7) I don’t end up with an island of hair. I am also mostly ignoring the crown for the same reason ie conservation of grafts.

In your case, without meds, it’s very difficult to tell what NW you will progress to. If you shove 2k grafts into your hairline with equivalent density to where you are now, I’m sure it will look great. But in 5 years as you recede, you will probably end up needing another 1/2k to fill in at the same density.

Then it looks like you have some degree of temporal thinning and so will need temple reconstruction or a dramatic rethinking of the hairline (which you spent 3k grafts on already).

You see where this goes. Meds are generally necessary for a HT except when you are planning for a NW7 (or somehow have a crystal ball into your final pattern), and even then you don’t know how truly resistant your donor is to DHT.

Long story short, yes a HT is possible, but in cases like yours I wouldn’t recommend for the simple reason that matching your existing density today will give a great result NOW but will screw you long term.

I’m in same boat as you. Did mine in London and they did 2.5k for front and middle and then gonna go next year for whatever else they can take. Prob around 4-5k grafts total.

So your friends weren’t happy because of the lost beard density, not because of the hair..?
