Are there any hair transplant surgeons who specialise in meds-free transplants?

[PeterD1983]

I'm aware that there are plenty of surgeons who will usually prescribe finasteride but would also offer to plan a meds-free transplant too if the patient wishes, but I'm specifically wondering whether there are any well known hair transplant surgeons out there who operate without recommending finasteride? Or failing that, who are some of the surgeons best known for handling meds-free transplants?

As you are aware most HT doctors will encourage the use of medication especially in younger patients .

If you were an auld lad like myself ( 93 years young next Friday) doctors would not try to hard to talk you into it as most of your hair loss has occurred . It really depends on the level of your hair loss at present and the estimated norwood number you could achieve for a doctor to be pushing for meds for one patient and not pushing for meds with the next guy that comes through the door.

 

The only doctor that has proven time and time again without any medication what so ever and amazingly WONT do a HT on you if he knows you are on medication, is Dr. Goldenfinger . his work is amazing considering he wont take on a patient that is on any medication for hair loss and that patient has to give a written consent when undertaking a HT with him promising not to take any medication for hair growth whatsoever as he believes and proved the meds will have a negative impact on the final result. He keeps an extremely low profile and is fully booked out for a long long time.
