Senior Member Tbcruz Posted July 29, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 29, 2017 Your hair looks great! But your crown is certainly thinning. I had the same issue but Finasteride has already improved my density (been on it for roughly 15 weeks). I don't quite comprehend why your doctor would recommend delaying taking Finasteride, by even 24 hours! My doctor told me to get on it IMMEDIATELY (prior to the surgery). Thanks arminius, I was really hoping for it to be only my temples. Nice how was taking finasteride? Did you cut the pill in 4s or did you take it whole ? I had told him last week that I was gonna start using minoxidil and he told me not to use it because when you start using it I could have some hairloss from minoxidil and he told me to hold off on it til after the procedure. Now about finasteride I had no interest in because of the side effects 1st procedure (8-4-17) - Dr. Luís Nader FUE 1551 grafts. https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/49351-1551-grafts-with-luis-nader/?tab=comments#comment-455985 2nd procedure (2-4-20) - Dr. Blake Bloxham FUT 1986 grafts https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/55933-dr-blake-bloxham-fut/?tab=comments#comment-529401 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now about finasteride I had no interest in because of the side effects I understand that you worry about the side effects of Finasteride. However, it is a very slim chance that you will develop such side effects. I have nothing. Zilch side effects, besides more dense hair. :-) And yes, I take 1.25 mg per day (I cut one 5 mg Proscar pill into four pieces). If you are already thinning, I strongly suggest you try Finasteride. Your HT will only be a very short-term success (maybe 5 years). Why not give yourself long-term chances for hair, possibly with only a single HT?
