Dr. Jerry Cooley Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 This patient is in his 40's and has type V/VI hair loss. We started finasteride and performed FUT of 4,361 grafts: (1-865, 2-1946, 3-1166, 4-384 = 9,791 hairs). The results are almost two years after the surgery.

Dr. Jerry Cooley Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Hi Doctor, Thanks for sharing. Good job:) May I get your opinion on the long term effect of finesteride? Thanks I think finasteride is safe and effective for most guys even when taken for many, many years. Is it perfect? No. A small number of guys will have side effects when taking it, and will decide to stop it. We may have much better medical/biologic/cell based treatments in the future, but for now, it is the most effective way to save your hair.

Senior Member Since21 Posted April 20, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted April 20, 2014 That's a nice result for the number of grafts and the area of coverage. How is his donor supply for possible future work? 3,425 FUT grafts with Dr Raymond Konior - Nov 2013 1,600 FUE grafts with Dr Raymond Konior - Dec 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Jerry Cooley Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 That's a nice result for the number of grafts and the area of coverage. How is his donor supply for possible future work? He easily has another 2,500 by FUT and then more by FUE. He's going to hold off for now as he's happy with it. As he said to me, 'I've forgotten about my hair'. That's my goal!
