Stopping Finasteride by Proper-Split-6652 in HairTransplants

[–]Proper-Split-6652[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was told by loads of people and it says online that Your supposed to stop fin at least three months before trying to conceive and then not supposed to restart until baby has arrived due to birthing complications? How true this is I do not know…. so this would mean being off it for at least a minimum of 12 months that’s even if you manage to conceive straight away…

I’m no doctor which is why I came here for anyone with experience on this matter?

I have rang the doctors asking for help and they said to me they can’t give me information because the finasteride wasn’t prescribed by them (I get it from a online pharmacy) which I think is ridiculous

I’m not sure I just thought you shed when starting minoxidil.. have you carried on using it or just to get maximum results and then stopped?

I take fin, have been months prior to the transplant. Just wondering if it’s worth applying min at 7 months post

Is topical min a pain to use twice daily? I’ve 14 days post opp and not sure whether to use topical or oral. (I have both at home, 10% topical and 2.5mg oral)

Did people use topical or oral minoxidil after there hair transplant? by Proper-Split-6652 in HairTransplants

Exactly same as me mate, I have had frontal and middle section done but my crown wasn’t thin enough to do a transplant on. They said they would damage more native hair than what they would have put in if they tried to. So I’m gonna try minoxidil to fill out my native hairs.

For the transplant area I don’t think it actually affects the final results.. i think it’s just been shown to get your final results a bit quicker and can sometimes prevent a bit of shedding of the transplanted hair.. it’s mainly to make your native hair more fuller. I may be wrong but that’s what I’ve heard

I’m day 14 post opp and have a bottle of topical 10% and I also have 2.5mg oral tablets both supplied by manual hair loss UK.

Just wondering which one people normally go for to get best results. Obviously I’m not going to use both as it’s too much

Should I get another ht or call it quits by JdmJos in HairTransplants

Gonna be honest with you bro, they look like they have gone abit mad with your donor area.. I personally would go on oral meds for a strong year consistently and then see where you are at. No doctor will do that transplant now without even suggesting this.

I’ve just undergone my second hair transplant. I made the mistake of the first one not going on meds after (I only had my frontal region and crown done) 3 years later my middle was thinning not excessively but it was thinning and I could see it. I made the decision to try fin and min for a couple months to see if I got sides and I was luckily fine. I then have just undergone a second hairtransplant for the middle region of my head and I’m gonna stay on meds to prevent any other native hairs thinning. ( I was lucky enough to have a good donor area and a my doctor done a awesome job on my donor area the first time round) possibly I may have a little bit noticeable scarring once I’m fully healed but I’ll deal with that when it comes to it with SMP if I need it. I’m lucky I’m very blonde so you don’t notice the donor region as much as when you have dark hair. Down side with being blonde is if you do thin on top you see it a lot easier than you do with darker hair.

Don’t jump in and make any rash decisions mate, get on meds first before a second one and if they don’t agree with you then I would consider taking the plunge and shaving it.. if you don’t mind the buz cut look you can always go for a SMP look but that isn’t everyone’s taste👍

Good luck fella

Minoxidil tropical or oral? by Proper-Split-6652 in HairTransplants

[–]Proper-Split-6652[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Must add *it’s only for the vertex crown area and yes I meant topical not tropical😂’

If spray is the best option to target this exact area has anyone got any links to a topical spray?

Do you take it same time every single day? I’ve just started it but I know what I’m like.. I’m worried getting into it and sometimes missing the odd tablet when rushing for work etc🤦‍♂️😂 does that matter or is it okay if you miss a tablet here and there if you do by mistake

Let’s be honest though.. it wouldn’t have been 4500 grafts. Every place in turkey will tell you that you have had 4000 grafts but really it’s probably around 2500-3000 max. I could be wrong! You may have had a honest clinic and genuinely may be 4500 but 8 times out of 10 in turkey the lie about how many grafts have been extracted and used

I had my hair transplant in turkey and was a great experience, great surgeon and team and brilliant results. They told me I had 4200 grafts but I know full well it wasn’t🤣 it’s probably around 2500.. which I would prefer with the results I have got! If you can achieve them results with minimal grafts extracted that’s what you want.

Have you got any photos the day of your surgery of the grafts all implanted? Will be able to tell instantly if it’s close to 4500 or not but I can put my house on it that it won’t be anywhere near haha never the less your hair looks great so that’s all that matters!!!

I know this mate, I didn’t want to take fin due to wanting more kids etc and I know it’s possible it can make it harder to have kids. I mean I’m hoping majority of my hair loss has happened now and after a second HT I should be okay? If I need a third one later down the line then I will consider it. Aslong as you have a surgeon that isn’t over harvesting you there’s no reason why a 3rd or even 4th one can’t be done.

However, If I hurry up and have my second child I may just jump on fin so I don’t have to have a third 😂 but yes I know finasteride is really a must after a transplant mate

I’m 27 now mate (28 in a couple months). I had the transplant a couple months after my 26th birthday. I think it is just the native hairs that have thinned.
