Regular Member DanielTaylor2 Posted January 17, 2005 Regular Member Share Posted January 17, 2005 So I started Propecia about nine months ago and stopped a month ago due to unwanted side effects. I am a young (23) fit and healthy guy..but i just didnt do well on the prop. I eat really healthy, im a vegan who focuses on mostly whole foods, i take MSM(3 G daily), Saw Palmetto and other vitamins and minerals. topically i use revivogen shampoo and conditioner daily, Dr. Lees Shampoo 2%Nizoral/3% Salicyilc Acid M-W-F, and Proctye Tricomin Spray every night....would i still be able to get an HT?? i am aiming for the end of this year beginning of next. im sure not everyone can handle the propecia, but still can get an effective long lasting HT. theres still hope for me right? thanks guys!

Senior Member damo Posted January 17, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted January 17, 2005 Hi there mate you would be able to get a hair transplant performed but wait until your atleast 27 before you get it done as your to young.What stage is your hair at now? Ive just had 1300 grafts performed back in June 2004 check out my pictures at www.inperth.com.au/users/damo Damien http://www.inperth.com.au/users/damo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Robert_ Posted January 17, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted January 17, 2005 Daniel, I don't quite understand what you are asking. Are you asking if it is alright to go forward with a hair transplant procedure if you are not currently on Finasteride? If so, that would be a decision left for you and your physician to make. Your age, family history, stabilization of hairloss, and other considerations will be factored in. If you are a good candidate for surgery and feel very strongly that you have stabilized your hair loss for an extended period of time with your current regimen (18 + months; take before/after pictures for documentation for yourself) then I would say that you should be able to then go forward with looking into a hair transplant if you are still interested. -Robert ------------------------------ Check out the results of my surgical hair restoration performed by Dr. Jerry Cooley by visiting my Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Smoothy Posted January 18, 2005 Senior Member Share Posted January 18, 2005 Dan, If you want to know if your a canidate, I suggest you go to one of the best surgeons in the industry- there are about 5-7 that fall into this category-- then do a consult to see if you are a HT surgery canidate. If you asking if your too young at 23, well that is debatable. Preferably you want to wait as long as possible. I myself started at around 24 but was very conservative. SO if you do, be conservative because you will have to have more in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
