Are you just trying to fill in a FUT scar? If you're only using a small amount of body hair then it's probably better to continue with finisteride if it was working for you. The more body hair grafts you use then it starts becoming counter productive at some point.

 

Fill 2 FUT scars.    One is very thin but the other is quite thick so  if I get the BHT i will defo not be  taking the Fin as Im sure over time it will be counterproductive.

I've had beard and body hair used for my hair repair and was told not to use fin.  It causes body hair to fall out, which would defeat the point of using it for a transplant.  Make sure you consult with BHT experienced surgeons and see what they say.

Thanks for the feedback!  This is what i was thinking but never really seen any doctors speak about this issue.

Congratulations on getting married. I didn't know you were engaged. You have plenty of beard hair to use and since you have a thin base of scalp transplanted hair on your crown, it should all blend in together very nicely. Transplanted beard hair starts growing out a bit more kinky than scalp transplanted hair, but it eventually softens up a lot. It just takes a bit longer. Scalp transplanted hair takes maybe 18 months to really get that softness back, but beard hair will take another 6 months to a year longer to get to the same level. Good luck with both the marriage and the next hair transplant!

 

Could you go into more detail about the beard hair softening up overtime or if you use a special shampoo or conditioner to help with this, any info would be appreciated

All the best for your up coming HT Melvin and getting married!  Also would like to ask you if you ever took Fin in the past and if so have you seen a difference with the med regime that you do now? Is it just as effective?

Yeah Ive seen this also and never seen any Docs say don't use Finasteride if you've had a BHT procedure. I wonder if they don't see this as much of an issue and are still pretty positive about the results

I was just wondering if this would be counterproductive, I was looking to get some beard grafts into a FUT I had done a while back and knowing that Finasteride in anti androgen. Maybe there is a work around like taking Topical rosemary oil or rosemary extract tablets because I have heard theyre good at blocking DHT. Has anyone had any issues with this after their procedure or has their grafts grown in as normal even while taking finasteride?  

yeah I noticed that also about not so many newish videos, but his results were very impressive

This is a great topic as I'm looking to get some beard hair put into a FUT I had done about a decade ago and been looking at the doctors mentioned above others like Dr Barghouthi, Dr Harati, & Spanish docs Couto, Lorenzo& Freitas.  I still haven't came across videos like Dr Umar posts and the results he gets
