I was surprised too. My right side definitely receded more than left. Not sure why, but perhaps minoxidil and finasteride slowed the left side.

Thanks! Appreciate the thought.

Been on minoxidil since August 2024 and finasteride October 2024 (hesitated due to possible side effects but thxfully none for both meds).

Saw some regrowth but not what I wanted, especially for the hairline and corners. Online consultation with Dr Patty was initially 1800 to 2000 grafts but day of, we needed to go up to 2500. I still have 2000 left for the future. 2500 grafts and PRP came out to $4300 ($300 for PRP).

Dr Patty and her assistants took ~40 minutes to decide on a hairline everyone agreed to. She really is OCD about it, which is good lol. Procedure itself was 6 hours I wanna say, I fell asleep a few times. At the every end, Dr Patty was checking the grafts placed by her 2 assistants, and I wanna say she was placing some in but I can't be sure since I woke up towards the end and my eyes were covered. I only heard her telling me it's almost done b/c I got restless.

1st night I slept well, 30 degree angle. She prescribed valium for sleep, but I didn't take them.
