If you don't plan on getting on Fin, you shouldn't worry about losing miniaturized hairs. They really aren't providing density now and they aren't coming back on their own. If you are open to Fin, hopping on six months prior to surgery will ensure you hang onto as many miniaturized hairs as possible, some of which could regrow into mature hairs after enough time. 

In terms of waiting until your hair loss settles, I don't think any doctor can definitively say when that will happen. Most responsible doctors won't do major surgeries for patients in early 20s without a long term plan, but at 36 I think you're okay, personally speaking.

My last HT was 2015 I think🤔 the pics were from two weeks ago on Melvin’s request following my post lockdown hair cut, the video was maybe 1.5 years ago or there abouts (I believe the date is on YouTube if the upload?). The pics with the red background are around or just under a year post the last HT (so 2016). So just under 6 years between the last transplant and the newest pics. hope that info helps. Sorry I can’t be super accurate with the dates, but they’re pretty accurate ball park figures, aside from the ones form two weeks ago which I can still remember 😂

No that's great, thanks for taking the time. I'm about 5.5 months out from my first HT (3670 grafts) so at this point I'm curious how things progress from 5-8 months. So far so good and if things continue to thicken up I'll be even happier. 

Hey Melvin, do you happen to know how long after the last transplant the final photos and videos are from? Absolutely inspiring result

At this point I think the best advice anyone could give you is to sit tight. You've done a lot over the past 9 years and you're still quite young, relatively speaking. Given how much work you've had done, I'm tempted to think you have very high standards. It's possible that your perceived problems are not quite as significant as you might imagine. 

I'm sure you have done your research and are well aware the three months post-op is not even close to enough time to evaluate. Some photos of your current and former states might help out anyone else commenting, but really, you should just forget about getting any other work done for at least another 9-12 months. 

With all that said, Fin and Min are two totally different medications and if you are that concerned about your hair, it is never too late (or early) to try Fin, even if you are nervous.
