Crown1000

I am currently using the Rogain foam 5% and have been for several years. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with the topical Finasteride? Can you use that in combination with Rogain? I have a history of depression so I am not wanting to take the oral finasteride, wondering if anyone knows if it causes that side effect if used topically? Thanks guys.

I am looking for a proven doctor that can actually make crown growth a reality. Opinions about best doctors?

I had 1,100 grafts placed in my crown about 10 months ago and although there is some growth it is not filling up the area as well as I had hoped. It was an FUT surgery and the 3rd I have had. I had one previously for the crown for 500 grafts and a frontal hair line for 600 grafts. I am thinking that if I do another surgery it will be FUE as the FUT method is really a long road to recovery. I recently did SMP in the frontal area and it blended really well with the existing hair. I am wondering if after the full year is up for my latest crown surgery if I go ahead and try SMP for the crown will a surgeon still be able to work on me after that heals?

Thanks for the feedback guys. I don't have those photos on my phone but can grab them from my wife when she is home. I am 43 years old. I wasn't aware there is such a thing as topical finasteride? Is that more potent than rogain? I had a small procedure at 36 for only 500 grafts for the crown as well. I don't want to name the doc and such until the entire year plays out. I figure that is at least fair. I certainly wasn't expecting full coverage but did expect some growth.

Will do. Thanks, hope you can give me some feedback.

I am currently entering month 8 of a 1,100 FUT surgery for a crown procedure. At this point there is no new growth, I took tons of before pics and have been taking photos monthly. I went to a respected doctor and am meticulous about my after care. I use rogain foam 2 times a day, take biotin as well as Saw Palmento. I do not take Propecia due to side effects. I am beyond disappointed at this point in the journey. I do not want to throw the doctor under the bus as I respect his work. Though that may change if nothing grows as the cost was large and the time spent and effort was difficult. Please advise? I am not new to the hair tranplants as this is not a first procedure. I have seen most forums state that most hair should be showing up or at least beginning to thicken by month 8.
