But Matt, even though his hair transplanted fall off, can he restore his without another HT? isn't his hair graft is still in his head?

[@aivarusk218]

So basically his transplanted hair has stayed but his native hair has continued to fall rapidly. I’d say this guy was a very poor candidate for a transplant anyway, naturally very thin hair and a diffuse thinner. He definitely started finnasteride way too late and didn’t give it long enough either. I know a guy who had a HT back in 2016 and didn’t take fin and his hair looks amazing still, but he was a slow receder with very thick hair.

[@davidn.8150]

So basically you are saying that one has to fuck up one's hormones if one wants to keep hair...

[@jul3249]

studies show that less that 2 percent of people taking 1 mg fina have side effects, and these side effects aren't necessarily the dreaded ones (ED). So why do you feel the need to push this rhetoric? As a man who started balding really fast at 19, and managed to save his head full of hair thanks to Finasteride (going on 33, my thick luscious curls are still the basis of my style), I just want every young men to be able to avoid the dreadful feeling of losing one's hair.

[@jul3249]

@@davidn.8150 understandable to be worried! But before claiming anything, especially when it comes to health, it’s worth doing a little research! Finasteride has been around for decades and has been administered in doses 5-6x higher to people with other health issues (prostate problems) so we have a pretty clear understanding of its safety over time. In other words, if we had messed up and Fina posed significant risks over time, we would know by now.

I made a $1500 hair transplant in Turkey in 2014. I had great results and very dense hair until this year, when I suddenly started diffuse thinning. Never used any meds, wasn’t even aware of them and can’t recall my surgeon said anything about it. Started meds 2 months ago, wish I had done some research back then and I could have been on meds all this time and possibly not have any thinning.

Also, it wont fade with time and he will not have to worry about wearing hats or sun screen all the time, or shaving like every two days for it to not be noticeable, or paying every 2-3 years for a retouch.

@DrewMcFederiesCEO totally true, made my transplant 7 hairs ago didn't lost a single hair from them, never took any medication, only lost some natural or none transplanted hair in this time I prefer making just second transplant which I will make soon and then never have to care about anything again.

[@ev0wat]

@DrewMcFederiesCEO because your the exception it doesn’t make the rule. Over 90% of guys lose transplanted hair, there’s several factors depending on the aggressiveness of the hair loss. If you’re 40 and kept most of your natural hair then do a transplant to top it up then yea you probably won’t need meds because it’s not aggressive hair loss. If you lose your hair at 18yrs old then transplant yea your gonna need meds, it’s commonsense but case by case.

[@lewiscwalker]

He looks good! He needed to take finasteride sooner to stop the top of head hairs falling out. However theyve done a good job at the front, and its standard to only transplant one area at a time. They have over harvested the donor area however SMP would fix that. If he has enough grafts left then he could get the top done over a couple of transplants along with finasteride. Or just work the shaved look now he has a good front and get SMP on the back.

[@abhinavkrishnan4338]

This guy only needed an smp or nothing at all , cos his head shape and beard is perfect for a shaved head , he looks better without hair

[@deanslife1]

Following a photo request of pics of my hair from Fuecapilar, I was told that the surgeon said I take do 6-12 months of fin and minox before booking in with them. I wanted an HT and was always unsure about taking fin, i don't want minox as it makes hair greasy. My worry is i already have thinning hair so it could look really bad

[@sakshiagrawal501]

Clinics often insist that you first take finasteride for 6 months to a year, before undergoing transplant. They do this to improve your donor area and your recipient balding portion. But remeber this improvement in the donor is borrowed due to effect of finasteride, and it's gonna go away once you stop taking the medicine. So beware of such clinics, who try to make a fool out of patients, by giving them good results solely by taking loan from the medicines. Instead go for an honest clinic, which will give you realistic expectation and long term sustainable results. Also choose a clinic which gives you freedom to choose rather than forcing you to take medicine.

Why would you advise against transplanting on the sides / temples?

[@letsgethair]

Not saying nobody should ever do temples, but I think that people should not overdo them + never do them while not being on medication. Why transplanting too much hair on sides (temples) should not be obsessed about by most guys: Because the % of doctors who can do them well is low, Not everybody is a good candidate for temples because of thick hair caliber for example, even if he has a great donor (and not every doctor is using the fine nape hair for temples). Lowering the hairline will improve your appearance more significantly than tightening your temples You can not really style your temples unlike the hair on top. Temples don't add any volume to your hairstyle (because they are on sides). I prefer using most of the already limited donor hair on the top of my head instead, where the hair could fulfill the coverage role much better than if placed on sides.

[@unclechaelsneckvein]

@@letsgethair Thank you for the detailed answer! My sides suck ass, and I'm thinking of going for a hair system (since it's much more of a permanent solution in my eyes than medication and a transplant, since I'm losing ground on fin and min). And I thought if I'm wearing a system I only need hair on the sides, temples and back, and I could have a transplant on these areas.

[@sakshiagrawal501]

Matt you are absolutely correct here. Temple creation is a very fine skilled work, not every surgeon can do this. You need to use finer hair from the nape of the neck, the angle of grafts is almost horizontal and also the temples should be created in a receded pattern, then only it looks natural. Only those transplant surgeons, who have doing this for 10-15 years can make it look subtle and natural.

[@jasonbowe9767]

Does finasteride protect your transplanted hair which I thought was resistant against DHT ?

[@markm7411]

it is resistent, I made for example hair transplant 7 years ago not a single hair felt out from the transplanted ones, can guarantee that this medication is not needed for your transplanted hairs as long as the donor area doesn't start to get weak as well, if your hairs in donor area are still strong so they will be on the transplanted zone, this medication haves nothing to do with hair transplant, this medication is prevention for losing your natural hairs, this guy looks much worst because he lost his natural hairs then sure the new transplanted hairs can't cover the area alone and it looks bad, I never took any medication still all great not lost a single hair and they super strong still. really some advertising videos for Finasteride Matt doing now I watching since the beginning, but for sure its not untrue that taking Finasteride is good for your hairs you can really prevent losing your natural hairs and strength all hairs if medication dont have side effects on you, but for your transplanted hairs like I said don't need to be worried they don't fell out if you don't take medication. they just will be exactly the same were they come from the donor area.

[@Ice-tc5vn]

Don‘t worry bro I got you: First of all use some natural DHT Blocker which won‘t harm you like Finasteride. I would recommend the Advanced Trichology dht blocker as it is 100% natural ingredients, has been researched for 15 years and is FDA approved. While it doesn't block as much DHT as Finasteride (70%), only about 25-30%, it's definitely a good start to prevent hair loss. Next, besides the oral, you need something tropical to get better results. I recommend the Keeps Thickening Shampoo which not only removes/blocks DHT from your scalp but also adds volume to your hair making it look thicker and denser. Third, I would recommend essential oils. The best are peppermint oil for more density, rosemary oil, pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto and green tea for blocking DHT and promoting blood circulation and last but not least Alma seeds which reduce DHT in the scalp and supply vitamin C to the hair follicles. I suffer from hair loss myself and can recommend these remedies to you. And if you still need motivation or hope I can only tell you that in the next 4-5 years revolutionary hair loss remedies will come onto the market. That means you just have to use all the recommended stuff until then.

[@sakshiagrawal501]

There is no need to start a strong medicine like fimasteride at such an early stage of hair loss. You should have applied only topical minoxidil. But now since you have been taking finasteride for a long time, your hair must have become dependent on it. On stopping the medicine, high chances that you will see a rapid massive rebound hair thinning and hairfall. You can decrease the dose of finasteride to may be 1/4th of the dose that you are taking. Also remeber even without the side effects also, there is a high probability of developing tolerance to finasteride.
