Regular Member Eurofue Posted August 20, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted August 20, 2015 Wondering if I should start taking fin now or wait until the hair takes before starting. Just don't want anything to mess up the hair growing. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted August 21, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2015 You're good to start taking it now. What did your surgeon recommend?

Regular Member Eurofue Posted August 21, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 21, 2015 He said not to bother taking it until I notice some thinning on top as I I should get a good coverage for my NW 2/3 with the 3000 grafts. I would rather delay the thinning happening if I'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member biolizard Posted August 21, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'd love to hear more from others with personal experience on with this. I'm a 43 year old NW 2/3 ......2 weeks out from a FUE. Wondering what type of postop regimen I should follow. I realize that there is nothing more effective than Propecia/fin astride currently on the market for maintaining and even regrowing hair. However, the side effects scare the crap out of me. What I find most bothersome is the fact that the side effects can persist for a long time after discontinuation of the drug; and in some cases have shown to be permanent! With a 2-10% side effect rate, that's something that's not to be downplayed. Reading some accounts of those who has been irreversibly maimed by this drug, it's absolutely devasting and utterly destroyed these people's lives. Scary stuff. I mean, I'm happily married (my wife would love me even if I was bald); however, introducing the possibility of ED and all the emotional bagging that that brings with it into my marriage could have very deleterious effects to my happy marriage. That said, I of course paid a boat load of money for my FUE. It is surgery, and surgery is painful and carries its own set of risk, the recovery process is not 'fun' by any stretch of the imagination. So obviously I would want to do what I can within reason to maintain the hair I have so I don't have to have another FUE for a very long time. I was going to just try : Ketoconazole shampoo Rogaine Foam Maybe a supplement And see how my hair loss progress? But idk? With how effective Propecia in treating andrgenetic allopecia it's kind of hard to say I'm not willing to try it. Any advice would really be helpful for me as well.????
