Regular Member gat4 Posted June 16, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted June 16, 2010 I am 29 years of age and I have already had 2800 grafts in December 2008. I would also like to mention that I am not any finasteride and don't intend to be though I am open to using Rogaine etc in the future. Here's a video of me that shows you the condition of what my hair looks like at present. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z97spzLmU94 On the one hand I have been advised that I should delay my hair transplant as I have a good amount of natural hair and should try and preserve it. On the other I have been advised that with the latest technique hair transplant doctors use this would be of minimal concern. It would be great to get your opinions on it. I thank you for your time with this. Regards, Gat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted June 17, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted June 17, 2010 Gat4, Thank you for posting that helpful video. In my opinion, you could probably benefit quite a bit from finasteride (Propecia) and/or minoxidil (Rogaine) at your age. However, if you are interested in a second hair transplant procedure, I recommend a consultation with one of our recommended hair restoration physicians. Any of these excellent hair transplant surgeons will be able to analyze your current situation and make a professional recommendation (a medication regimen or second transplant procedure). Also, I think your hair looks quite good right now!

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted June 17, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted June 17, 2010 gat4, As I'm sure you already know, male pattern baldness is progressive. You've already had a hair transplant so why wouldn't you want to do your best to protect your investment? In my opinion, you should definitely add Rogaine to your daily routine. Rogaine in conjunction with Propecia provides a one-two punch and is the best insurance those of us with MPB can currently take advantage of. This regimen may not only preserve your existing hair for some time but it may also grow you some new hair and postpone the need for another hair transplant.
