Hello everyone,
I only recently knew about this forum. i wish I did before as it seems quite big and informative. i am still finding my way around so I'm sorry if i posted in a wrong section. Anyway. I had my surgery in March of this year. The surgery itself was uneventful in terms of recovery and discomfort, apart from some precautions in the immediate stage after. I have been using minoxidil 5% after surgery and reluctant as to using finasteride. My doctor recommended using finasteride 3 times a week but I am still refusing. I am now 6 months after surgery and was reassured by the doctor that I am progressing well. I just wanted to get a second opinion from this forum to see if you guys think that I am on the right track? i know finasteride helps a lot, but is it ok to be only on minoxidil for now? Are the results as good as it should be. I had around 3000 grafts. I am 45 years old and I was really anxious as I did not want anything to look unnatural. I was quite clear with the doc that I wanted a conservative approach to the whole thing.
