My surgeon recommended 2 days- I went at it 4 days after but by no means follow my lead 😆 

Thanks for the info since i will be home for a while for the recovery looking to get a few drinks in to pass the time

I will be having a fue procedure of 1,700 to 2,000 graphts soon and want too know soon is it safe to drink some alcohol

Yes i take both oral finasteride and oral minoxidil thanks for the info.

Hello fellow members

I have a few questions regarding how long before a transplant are you supposed to stop finasteride and minoxidil? and how long after should you resume?. Or can you just continue taking it through the entire before and after process without stopping?.  

Follow the steps on this video helps you get a rough idea

With the greatest of respects I would give that clinic a big pass. Have some consultations with recommended surgeons from the forum. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. All the best! 👍

Thanks will do some research

Going by the pics (and you really need a front on pic). I would imagine around 2k - 2.5k. More if the temples are to be done. I'm not a doctor but looking at the first pic the top looks like it is slightly thinning so I wouldn't even attempt to do a low, buzz cut looking hairline. Save these grafts for the future and wait twelve months to see how the response to meds go is really the best plan. @diegoyrenny can I ask who the surgeon is and how old you are? 👍

Im 35 the surgery would be done in @livahairrd (instagram handle) Dominican republic they are Turkish established in Dominican republic

I mean this in the spirit that it is meant. But if you have a transplant to match the very low and straight sharp SMP hairline it will look unnatural. The other problem is that you will be chasing MPB with a finite source of grafts and will run out of a donor supply. This leave the work in the new hairline marooned with nothing behind it. I obviously hope that you are an excellent responder to finasteride but it might not stop your MPB. More likely it will slow it down considerably. I just want to make you aware of the bigger picture in the long term. Not for just the nest five years. All the best.

Thanks for the information appreciated

Hello thanks for the advice but the plan of the surgery is to mostly just implant in the area of visible smp to get my hairline back

I have scalp micropigmentation and have decided to get a hair transplant in mid October of this year i started taking the medications in mid june to get ready for the surgery and to continue afterwards
