If you have experienced sides before I suggest not taking 1.25mg as this is more than recommended.

If I was you I would half them and try taking 3 or 4 times a week.

Im currently taking 0.5mg MWF and Sun with no sides.

Just the name of the clinic scares me

I am getting a hair transplant next week. I don't know how people will react to me getting this procedure done. maybe I should just keep this a secret from everyone? Are you guys open about it? 

I was open about mine to family and friends, in fact everybody is amazed what a difference it has made. People were interested and some talk about getting it done themselves in the future.

Who cares what people think anyhow, we live in a society now where a large percentage of people have had some sort of work. i.e hair, teeth, nose, Botox, lips etc. It’s really not a big deal these days.

1 million times better… that 1st hairline is shocking 

Let’s be honest, not really a gamble taking this case on ….

-hardly balding 

-amazing dense dark thick hair donor

agree it looks great but it’s what I call a penalty kick ….. couldn’t miss

10 year challenge 27 vs. 37 

People can say what they want to, but hair matters. 

Totally agree … looks great

Maybe an idea to create a picture thread on this to see the difference ht’s have made to peoples looks/age

“The risk of ejaculation disorders was 8 times higher with finasteride versus dutasteride, and the risk of erectile dysfunction and decreased libido was 5 times higher (P = .001).”

I thought it might be the opposite way round as dut is more powerful than fin

Well one thing for sure you have found the right forum. The advice you are being given is golden and one thing I’ve found since joining this forum around 2 year ago, is that most on here are well educated in the ht industry and you will learn a ton.

Good luck 👍🏽

Since it takes weeks, I’m wondering if taking it one week on, one week off, would solve the problem. Sounds like the accumulation of finasteride is causing it. But this is just conjecture. 

Certainly worth a try… as they say “some is better than none”

I was at 1mg/day. But after a month I reduced, because of the side effects. Now I'm at 3mg/week.(1mg/pill in Monday, Wednesday and friday)

But i still have side effects (but less).

What do you think I should do? Trying 0,5mg, every day? Ir may be 2mg/week? 

 

I’ve been on 2mg/week for a few months now with no sides, I take 0.5mg MWF & sun.

worth a try

They said that it suits my head shape and natural hairline and if they did convex it wouldn't look natural

Well hopefully they are right, I wouldn’t stress too much as there’s nothing you can do about it yet. 🤞🏽

Thanks for your insight.   Does anyone else agree with this assessment or is it too soon to tell?

Yes I agree the shape of the hairline is odd

No sightseeing post procedure, you'll want to shut yourself in your cave and heal/grow, not worry about e-passes on your phone and grabbing lunch at packed counters. If it makes more sense financially to you, just hole up in the hotel and enjoy the room service for the extra days. 

Exactly this …. Then get home and relax

Looks great 👍🏽

Studying the post op pics the hairline shaped changed and is certainly is higher in placement than the original hairline that was drawn on. The OP has also noticed this. Its not uncommon at all to make alterations though. 

Exactly this

The design in the 3rd pic doesn’t look anything like the 1st pic, from what you can see it looks like a weird shaped hairline and I’m not surprised you have concerns, it’s also hard to see the actual grafts.

Where did you get this done ?

Your hair looks fine imo

There is no tax added in Turkey although there’s 10% added if you pay by card by the government I believe.

pay with cash if you can

Wait another month, it might fill up more .
 I would like to ask instead @LookMaxx what kind of comment is his, that is, first he  says it could be a loss of shock loss and after he  says that if the procedure was done in a hair mill it could be an over haversting?  😳

He’s certainly going to be right 

Density doesn’t look great and 12/cm2 is not going to give a good coverage I’m afraid.

Looks very natural, nice hairline 👍🏽

I did the same … jumped in straight on 1mg/day and had a few sides. I then stopped for a few weeks, bought a pill cutter and started in 0.5mg every other day for a month and then upped to 0.5/day… and 1 year on I’m happy that my body is accepting that dose..

The only minor side I’ve noticed is a slight reduction in sperm volume which I can live with….

definitely worth trying different dosages as everyone is different.

Years ago a female co-worker was constantly making fun of my hair loss. One day after weeks of hair loss insults I insulted her back making fun of her weight. Needless to say it did not go over well. She immediately reported me to supervisors. I spent the next 2 weeks going to meeting and signing write ups. Anyone else have similar experience at work?

Fair in my opinion…

if she can’t take it she shouldn’t give it out …..

IMO you are too young for a Ht, looking at the area you have had done you will need multiple surgeries as you age. 
You haven’t mentioned finasteride but I’d certainly try it to protect what you have.

At least they haven’t given you a ridiculous  low you hairline and I wish you good luck. 👍🏽

Sorry you are in finasteride.. excellent
