Dear doctor,
last week i underwent a 2500 grafts transplant to my front and sides of the head, however i still need another 2000 grafts to cover the
crown.my question is - what is the average time gap between two transplant operations ?? when should i go in for the second tranplant?
Also is it necessary that i take medication after these transplants.
The spacing of hair transplant procedures should be at least 8 months apart to allow the grafts to grow from the first session. I always tell my patients that when they see the growth, they will know:
- If another hair transplant is needed, and…
- Where these grafts are needed in the second session
The only medication I recommend after a transplant is Propecia to arrest or slow the progressive nature of genetic hair loss. I suggest taking the medication before the transplant as well.

Doctor,
I have been taking 3,6,17-androstenetrione ( not dione )for the past couple of monthe. This is an testosterone booster. I want to know if I stop taking it will my thinning hair return to it’s previous state before I started taking the product? I need to let you know that I had several transplant surgeries. Alot was in the front of my scalp. I don’t know if the product made my hair thinner or if the transplants didn’t take. But, my surgeries were mor than 2 years ago. Up til now there was still a little bit of thinning but not as much as now. Sorry for the lengthy comments, but I wanted to give you all of the facts.
My hair was thicker in the front before taking androstentrione. I have researched the company. They state that it does not cause hair loss. They also stated thatthere are no side effects from the product. They stated that 3,6,17-Androstenetrione promotes dramatic increases in muscle and strength, just as effectively as prohormones, but, best of all — this product is both natural and non-hormonal. This means 3,6,17-Androstenetrione is safer than prohormones and it is not affected by the government ban, which means it can be sold as a legal, pharmaceutical grade, dietary supplement.
Finally, they state:
Prohormones were the best supplements available for boosting testosterone levels. They did this by providing a precursor, which allowed your body to make more of it – and man, did they work!
Problem is, they have been banned by the U.S. government, not to mention they had potential negative side effects when they were abused. Since the U.S. government has made prohormones illegal, the sports supplement industry has been hard at work trying to come up with safe and legal replacements for prohormones.
Many of these replacements won’t live up to the hype, but one product has emerged that is truly revolutionary and definitely will not disappoint. It is called 3,6,17-Androstenetrione (4-etioallocholen-3,6, 17-trione) and it is the most effective and safest testosterone booster ever!
3,6,17-Androstenetrione promotes dramatic increases in muscle and strength, just as effectively as prohormones, but, best of all — this product is both natural and non-hormonal. This means 3,6,17-Androstenetrione is safer than prohormones and it is not affected by the government ban, which means it can be sold as a legal, pharmaceutical grade, dietary supplement.
How Does 3,6,17-Androstenetrione Work?
Research has shown that men taking 3,6,17-Androstenetrione doubled their testosterone levels in only six weeks! It does this by reducing heightened estrogen levels that result from the aromatization of testosterone. Aromatase is an enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen.
This conversion is bad news for muscle and strength building efforts and 3,6,17-Androstenetrione binds to and destroys aromatase, inhibiting this action. Bottom line — 3,6,17-Androstenetrione will greatly enhance functioning of your own natural testosterone production which will result in a dramatic increase in muscle and strength!
No Side Effects!
Since 3,6,17-Androstenetrione is non-hormonal (this is why it can be sold legally and is not affected by the 2004 Anabolic Steroid Control Act) it works naturally with your body and you avoid all the potential adverse side effects that could occur from using prohormones or anabolic steroids.
There is no water retention, hair loss or gynecomastia. There is no liver, heart or kidney stress. There is no cholesterol problems or testicular atrophy AND there are no problems with the law!
