Torey Lanez hair transplant is looking great… I’m so happy for him. from tressless

Only 4% of people have sides? That sounds low. But, everyone online is talking about the side effects and how dangerous the drug is.

If you sat on a nail, you would remember it and every time you sat on a chair you would check for a nail. But sitting on a nail is very very very rare, not as rare as side effects from finasteride but those who have them are like the guy who sat on the nail, get it?

Having a hair transplant is not a solution if either the surgeon or the team or both do not have the skills to do the hair transplant properly. Your problem is not an uncommon problem. I would normally suggest that you return to your surgeon and ask him to make this ‘right’ with you. With such a failure, I don’t believe that I would trust your surgeon and their team to do this again. I would just ask for your money back. You may have to accept some degree of balding as your donor area may have been depleted enough, not permitting another FUE hair transplant. A strip surgery may yet be an option. See another doctor with experience, and find out what is left in your donor area as well as what, if anything, you can achieve with your remaining donor supply. You can do Scalp Micropigmentation and look normal if you are willing to have a shaved look (see here: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/bold-shaved-look/).

This is something that the ordinary person can expect for minoxidil in growing some hair in the crown area.

The results show that the hair is returning. You may find that it will not grow very long of as in some finasteride users, reverse the process. Wait another year and then see if you can get length on it. Consider adding minoxidil and possibly microneedling to the area. Look this combination up on this website (see search bar) and see some amazing results with the combination of finasteride, minoxidil and microneedling.

This is an excellent result from taking finasteride for one year. I tell my patients to stay on it to get the maximum benefit

There is little that the photos show that I can add. This man is young and the young men often have hairline reversal results on the drug finasteride.
