Good question

i second this

I would be interested in a video like this too. I think my skin looks worse on minoxidil.

@@RRReviews10X it should be used with caution that’s for sure

Hello, great question - FUT + FUE in the same surgery can be done, but only if needed. It is usually only needed when FUT is limited by some factor, eg scalp laxity is low in the patient, or the strip needs to be shorter for various reasons and therefore less grafts taken in it , requiring FUE to harvest extra in the same session. I would be interested to know why this was recommended to you, usually it’s best (in terms of maximising lifetime grafts as well as maximising growth of grafts) to do as much FUT as possible first and later in life do FUE (in much fewer numbers) for minor touch ups and enhancements.

​@@DrParissis thank you for your response and apologies for the delay; I was away. For context, I am Norwood 5/6 and had a transplant to restore the hairline about 6 months ago. I opted for an FUT procedure after a lot of research and following the advice from this and other reputable surgeries to maximize lifetime yield. I am considering a second procedure to do the crown; however, it seems that with my density, the amount I can get from strip in a session is about 2,500 grafts. I will obviously go for a second FUT as I have the scar, but to get more grafts in one sitting and speed up the hair restoration process, I was thinking about a combined procedure, which I know a couple of Turkish clinics do. I've spoken to them and they (of course) say it's a really good idea and can be done for the reasons above, but I was just wondering if there are any disadvantages to doing this in a combined sitting, or if it is better to do a second FUT only and then do an FUE as a third procedure. If it doesn't make any difference, I may go for a combined procedure, as I would like a full head of hair while I'm young, and waiting to do a third or even fourth procedure to get the look I desire may take years. Apologies for the length, but any insight you have would be greatly appreciated!

isso e verdade, aconteceu comigo

He has no idea to the answer if this question

Interesting Question - I haven't seen this clinically but I will keep a look out for any future cases in which this has happened.

No evidence that oral minoxidil affects hormone levels

They definitely work well - although there is a not an insignificant percentage of men who get side effects with both of these high doses. So it often needs to be tailored to their response. I am glad you have benefited from this however!
