Dr Rassman,
If one has been evaluated by a urologist and undergone a variety of tests for problems and finasteride has been single out as the cause. Can one still undergo restoration work? Or should one simply forget it?
You are asking for a medical opinion without my ability to find out details about you, something that I do when I perform a consultation. Things like family history, age, miniaturization (where it is and how advanced it is) will tell me much. One can have a hair transplant without taking Propecia. I do this in older men and in men who I can predict what will happen to them over time. Everyone is different. My job is to protect you from over-enthusiasm, bring you down to reality, and then try to accomplish your goals (which may or may not be a hair transplant).

A hair transplant doctor I know has noticed that some of her finasteride patients who started taking cannabis, has seen ED appearing. The article states: “What’s good for the goose may be bad for the gander. Specifically, marijuana use may cause erectile dysfunction in men. Of note, erectile dysfunction is the most frequent male sexual disorder.” For men on finasteride and who are using marijuana and have sexual side effects, maybe there is a link that potentiates the ED in finasteride users.

(CNN) — Americans paid twice as much as Canadians for health care, but they didn’t get twice the benefit, according to a new study of patients with advanced colorectal cancer who lived, in some cases, mere miles from each other……….. read more

21 y/o M Currently been on fin 1mg ED for over a year and a half. Closing in on one year oral min 2.5 mg ED. Got some great results from the combination until about February time I’ve slowly started to get worse and worse. Im still above baseline but I’m starting to consider other options. What do y’all think. Not just my case in specific but in general would it be bad to get a transplant because of shock loss etc?
The findings come from a meta-analysis of 302 clinical trials with 262,354 participants enrolled between 1994 and 2015. The median age of these participants was 6.49 years younger (P < .001) than the median age of real-world patients with the same cancers in a federal database. That’s a “substantial difference,” the authors comment. (Taken from Medscape)

I want to have a widow’s peak like I did when I was younger. Can you transplant a widow’s peak?
Yes, you can transplant the widow’s peak. People have different types of widow’s peaks, with some having different directions. Any of them can be made. Here’s a widow’s peak that is 100% man made, along with the entire frontal hairline. The “before” photo is on the left, followed by the “after” on the right. The “after” photo was taken after two sessions totalling 3,702 grafts. Click the images below to enlarge.

Hi Doctor. Thank you for having this great site!!
About 25years ago I had a HT using the hobby drill method. Now I have 3 rows of white plugs. I am like most of the others on this site and want to shave my head. I was wondering if you have ever considered a procedure to re-drill the plugs and suture them closed similar to the way you show it being done to patients for the top of their heads. I have spoken to other doctors and they want to cut the entire area out and suture it closed. They also state that it would take two or three procedures. Why can’t someone just re-drill and suture shut the area?
We have done what you described — taking each of the old style hair plugs out one-by-one and suturing each wound closed. We have also cut out the entire row and sutured it all closed. And we’ve even done a combination of both. Here’s a step-by-step story of the process one man took to repair his pluggy hairline. It took multiple surgeries to complete his repair, with the first procedure being a removal of a row of plugs, and the second procedure being individual removal of some of the remaining plugs.
My point is, everybody is different and every treatment plan for each individual is unique. In the end, find the doctor that you trust and ask to see some before after results of these repair procedures. You may even ask to speak to their former patients or meet them. Good luck.
The recipient area density is never equal to the original density, nor should it be because all of the donor hair would be used up. Also, there are mechanical limits on how closely a doctor can place the grafts to allow sufficient space and blood supply for good healing

From what I have read, castration stops hair loss however, castration will not regrow hair that has been lost. If this is true, why would Proscar grow any hair? It is my understanding Proscar blocks a percentage of DHT, which leads to the effectiveness of the product. If someone has been castrated there is o% DHT and still no hair regrowth? Also if DHT causes hair loss why is Propecia effective on the vertex of the scalp and not the temples.
There is a wide audience of young men (over a million) who have taken Propecia and we know that in the very young man with active miniaturization, the process may be reversed. This occurs mostly in young men in their 20s. I would guess that if we castrated 1 million men who are balding in their 20s, that the incidence of regrowth would be higher than those on Propecia alone, but I am not recommending castration as this is only an intellectual exercise.
When a hair is dying (miniaturized hairs fall in this category), like a dying person, they have a chance of being fixed or cured because they are not dead yet. When a hair has completely disappeared, it has gone through apoptosis, which means that the hair growth center is dead… and we all know that you can’t raise the dead. This applies to hair when the head is slick bald in any area impacted where there is no miniaturized hairs.
