Haven't read the whole thread. Are you taking finasteride?

The only reason I'm nervous is because I'm not taking finasteride so I feel like my results could be significantly compromised. Have you guys seen people who have gotten great results without using finasteride? I will post all before and post op pics on the day of surgery. I waited a year for this appointment. Also, I will use whatever else Dr. K recommends.

Thanks for the reply. I am doing FUT per Dr. Koniors recommendation since it's my first transplant and how my hair is. I have average hair. Not thin or thick. I told Dr Konior I would rather have a second or third surgery in the future rather than use finasteride. The fact I'd have to take the drug for life to maintain results, is not something I'm willing to do. If you aren't willing to take the drug for life, why take it at all? As soon as people get off of fin they lose whatever the fin was maintaining. I am doing a high density hairline restoration. I'm a Norwood II right now.

Hey guys, I'm having my surgery in a week with Dr. Konior. I'm pretty excited but expectedly nervous as well. After much discussion with Dr. Konior, I have made the decision to proceed without using propecia at all. Dr. Konior told me only 20-30% of his clients use finasteride and that you can get great results without using it. He said many of the people that do use finasteride, still require a surgery in the future. I will use any other products that Dr. Konior recommends. I just found it interesting that one of the top doctors in the industry who sees hundreds of patients a year, says it's not necessary to take propecia and that only about 1/3 of his patients use it.
