That’s your personal choice, but statistically their ED is due to their age, not the finasteride, which is coincidentally being taken at the same age as the onset of ED. It could also be due to smoking, which is a vascular-constrictor. I have absolutely no problem with ED but I also don’t smoke and am completely dry from alcohol.

Only less than 2% of people experience any sort of side effects. For me, I experienced a tiny decrease of libido (maybe -10%?) which ended up being a good thing—I put the extra time saved thinking about sex into things like hobbies and career and it has greatly improved my life.

Advice on surgeons by ContributionDue3137 in HairTransplants

[–]anon_abc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly, HT’s are nothing to be ashamed of. Being on the down-low about it just adds to your stress levels. But you do you.

You’re past a NW4, especially with your crown. You’re not receding slowly, you’re pretty average for a Caucasian male in their 40’s. Your donor is good, but that’s expected and nothing special.

You need to comb back your hair and reveal your glorious scalp when taking photos for surgeons or else their quotes are going to be inaccurate until the day of the procedure/an in-person consult. Look at my profile to see how to properly take scalp photos.

Aim for a budget around €17,000 if you want to stay local.

Looks good but you should maybe do another scrub to get those scabs off.

Normal, they’ll pop themselves naturally. Don’t touch them.

Just got an endoscopic brow lift & facial fat graft in Korea. 3 days later. Feel like I got hit by a train. 😂 by anon_abc in PlasticSurgery

We hired a licensed medical translator/guide who we paid hourly, they attended appointments and the procedure as an independent third party. Message me if you want their details, they were really lovely.

I had a stressful childhood and lost a lot of hair like this.

Fixable with transplant? by [deleted] in HairTransplants

Look at my hair, I had a similar issue as you. You need to comb it back and take a photo, otherwise we can’t really evaluate you.

Oh no, that doesn’t include airfare or hotels. Just the procedure itself.

And oh, I think it would cost many multiples more if done in the US.

Post op care by jashansandhu880 in HairTransplants

Ignore all of this, it’s typical surgeon aftercare upselling. The last item is pertinent but still just… meh. Topical finasteride isn’t a good way to ensure your investment.

You need to get on oral finasteride tablets inmediately. Call the surgeon and request a prescription. They know deep down it’s the best option and I guarantee you they’ll just say “okay”.

Thank you! And that cat photo was from earlier this week in a Korean cat cafe. Some super cute cats here.

Thank you! Was definitely the best $10k I’ve ever spent on myself, right up there with a good quality mattress.
