Timing on procedue - my specific case
Deiter replied to Deiter's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Attached. Haven’t tried Dutasteride but I think Fin is working and slowing the loss, just not completely halting the loss - should it be?

Hi All, First time poster, thank you in advance for reading another post about procedure timing aka "should I get a procedure now?" My specific case: 32 yo male. Light skin, dark brown hair. Norwood Type 2 (but more straight across vs V-shaped, whatever that's called). I've been on 5mg+ daily Finasteride since age 20, use Minoxidil foam 2x daily on front (not sure if works but possibly helps). I've lost about 1" of hairline in the front between age 20-32 (12 years). On the high side of donor hair according to local surgeon. My genetic history: Father is Norwood Type 5, had sudden hair loss at age 33 but started Finasteride afterwards. Mother's Father was Norwood Type 3, stabilized there. Based on myself and my 3 brothers (including 2 older brothers age 37 and 39), it looks like our hair pattern is coming from Mother's Father, so I don't anticipate any loss in the crown/vertex, most likely all frontal. My questions please: My main concern is around doing an FUE/FUT in the front, but the hair behind steadily receding in the frontal region, keeping in mind the Finasteride is slowing but not halting the loss. I visited a well-rated transplant surgeon lately, and their salesperson basically told me I could just keep getting FUEs to cover it up, but I am unsure about at what point? Given this first procedure would cover my hairline for the indefinite future, would you recommend FUT first for thickness? I wear my hair down, so perhaps and FUE wouldn't be as noticeable in terms of perceived density? Thank you!

No, the hairs are dark black. And I do have plenty of thin and blonde hair, but the ones that come in are nice and black but they fall out in 3 days or so.

Hey all, Ive been on finasteride for about 2 years now. I've noticed that around my receding hairline are new hairs that grow in, but then they'll fall out within 2 or 3 days. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to keep these hairs in?
