Dv

Thanks Pete. I was leaning towards FUE simply because I like the way my scar has healed and was even hoping to maybe fill some of it in if possible. I was hoping FUE had progressed enough in that time to get similar results. But seems like the technology has not changed much since then.

I have never heard of topical fin but am going to look into it. Do you know if there are any sexual side effects?

Hey gang. I had an FUT (3,750) back in 2010 with Dr Hasson. He mostly did the front and left the back to propecia (which I’ve had to discontinue.) I think it’s time for a 2nd procedure to fill it in. Before I progress to discussing with doctors, trying to educate myself a little again on procedures. Do you guys think FUE will be enough or would I require another FUT (if possible)? Propecia isn’t an option for me anymore, sadly. My precious FUT scar isn’t bad at all (thanks Dr Hasson) so I’m not opposed to that. Just not sure it’s necessary.

This is very interesting, I didn't know there were so many variables involving doubles and triples, tho it makes obvious sense. (And yes, I do have a big head.)

Not really about testosterone, just the way your body is affected. My testosterone is high; above 700, but still affects me. I know other guys who are the opposite with no effect.

As I posted on another thread, I used to use 1.25mg but got too many side effects and then tried it again at .5mg and this time, I have no side effects. Using .5mg along with Rogaine has thickened up my crown quite a bit and even thickened my hairline a little bit (enough for my friends to comment on.)

I used to take 1.25 finasteride but I wasn't happy with the side effects either and stopped. I decided to try it again on advice of Dr True, at .5mg this time, and so far, everything is great. No side effects but my crown has definitely thickened up. I also use Rogaine on it to enhance it further.

I had septo/rhino/oto, tho. Where did you have yours done? Mine was in NY, which is pretty expensive.

I was told mine was 1cm wide and I got about 3800+ grafts out of it (something like 3825.)

I've seen this hairloss pattern in NY on many Indian men and always wondered what it would be considered on the Norwood scale. Fantastic work by Dr. Wong.

I had my septorhino (and oto) plasty yesterday. My HT cost me about $16,900 and this cost me about $15, 700 so that's a lot for two surgeries in a 4 month span (tho the septo was the main goal; the other two were just mini tweaks.) After this, though, that's it.

Men do experience side effects; it happens with any drug. I was one of those men. Cut your dosage in half and try that. I've done that for the last 5 months and haven't had ANY problems this time. Libido is the same, no tender nipples, no funky semen, no weak erections. I still had my crown thicken up and a little bit of thickening in my front area. It's probably not as much as I would achieve at full dosage, but it's an excellent trade-off.

I've never done that, but also none of mine have hurt. My head was pretty numb up until a couple weeks ago.

The scar looks great, really really good! My hair is about the same length, but I think fewer hairs have grown in. I had mine early October.

I leave them. They aren't the same kind of pimples that grow on your face. At first I expected them to stay for a few days or require benzoyl peroxide or something, but each pimple has a very short shelf life (2 days or so) and aren't obvious. Sometimes I'll towel dry a little harder than usual and it does the trick.
