The nice reversal of corner hair loss. Thanks for sharing

Finasteride can positively impact a swollen prostate and is typically used in men with prostatic hypertrophy, commonly over the age of 50. Also, in men who used it for a long time, it reduces the risk of prostate cancer by 25%. The recommended dose, however, is 5mg, in the form of Proscar.

4000 grafts taken from the donor area pushes the donor area’s ability to support such a large procedure when the donor density is lower than average. I am afraid that too many men who push their doctors or go to clinics where very large FUE sessions are done regardless of their donor density, will find themselves bald in the back and side of the head, like this man with new balding in the back of the head.

Wonderful results. You have possibly used up half of your donor supply or more depending upon your original donor density. From the photos, it looks like you have a Norwood Class 4A pattern and the A patterns are great because it is likely that even if you lost all of the hair in that pattern (a Norwood Class 5A pattern), you would still have enough hair to cover the new balding areas; however, for others who are not so lucky and don’t have a Norwood A pattern of balding, so many grafts placed in the frontal triangle would leave them devastated with not enough donor hair to fill up a Class 5, 6 or 7 pattern. Keep in mind that a Personalized Master Plan is needed to not only treat the present balding pattern with a hair transplant as you have done, but the worst pattern that you might develop so that you will always look normal and hairy.

No, these drugs kick in quickly but it may take months to see the value of their use.

I tell my patients that they can expect to see 80% of the growth in 8 months to styling length so be patient, you still might see the growth

If you developed arm and chest hair with minoxidil and not scalp hair, that means that you are either taking it orally or absorbing a lot of the medication through your skin. I gather it is not working on your scalp hair?

I’ve been in fin for 5 years and maintained everything I had, even grown some back. Hairline looks great. A little thin around my right temple, but other that, great. Reason I’m stopping, is I’m having some slight pain when ejaculating and the wife and I have been trying to have another kid for almost a year with no luck. Semen seems to be hit or miss. Sometimes it looks thick, other times it looks thin and watery. Anyways,I’m 30 now, and just going to shave it all off. I’ll try to keep you guys updated if curious. I have stayed away from here from the fear mongering as it wasn’t healthy for my mental health, but wanted a place to post.

You should think twice about the decision to stop finasteride after 5 years of use. You will lose all of the hair you would have lost over the past 5 years once you stop the medication. I have seen many men regret the decision. Watery semen is a common occurrence. I am writing this to let you know the consequences of stopping finasteride.
