Regular Member grantleebuffalo Posted January 29, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted January 29, 2019 Are you able to style your hair in the other direction now without issues? I recall that you wrote something about that a while ago and i am experiencing the same issue with "stubborn" hair and a lower density look.

I'll style it the other way tonight and upload a photo, it was probably due to the hair still becoming stronger and mature. 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member clerksband Posted January 30, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2019 Hi Luke, I'm at the 2 month mark of the HT surgery and starting to have sides from the Fin and considering stopping it. It's my understanding that you've never took Fin, right? Did you take any kind of alternative treatment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead I took Saw Palmetto, it's the natural based version of Fin. 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I read the more concerned I am with messing with hormones and DHT. You haven't had any sides or changes with it, right? Are you still taking it?

The more I read the more concerned I am with messing with hormones and DHT. You haven't had any sides or changes with it, right? Are you still taking it? In my opinion I would not get off fin, doing so could mess up progress. I had a mild lump from taking a cycle of andro supplements back one time years ago- before starting fin. as I’ll mention before, I also took saw palmetto after the sides and it made the gynecomastia worse with less noticeable hair growth. it was dumb, and I haven’t touched anything before or since, at al. Due to hair and possible sides, as well as not wanting to alter hormones like that. however, jumped on fin when I was young and I honestly got more glandular tissue and pain. I stopped, restarted lower dose “, etc nothing helped. did anti estrogens for years to try and alter the damage... no luck. In fact, probably worse. i also did saw palmetto and it increased my gynecomatia - so it isn’t milder. i finally got off everything and had the lump removed with surgery on both sides. didnt touch fin for another 4 years until my hair started noticeably going down hill - and got a hair transplant last year - same time I started back on fin at 1mg every two days. So far, no sides. i think because I had most of my tissue removed it has made a difference. i also believe that most people at risk are people that have already grown gynecomastia through drugs or puberty and then take fin.

Raphael84 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 lucky, This is without doubt one of the best results that I can remember seeing. You hair looks awesome and I am elated for you. Thank you on behalf of guys like myself for documenting your progress on the forum. I have read from beginning to the end of this thread, but don't remember reading this - what was your process/decision making to undergo your session with Dr Cinik? I remember reading that you saw results from other Cinik patients on other forums, so you felt completely confident with your decision pre surgery? Were you considering with other Drs? Did you consult with other Drs? Very interested! Again, congratulations! Enjoy that new hairline!

Dr. Cinik's clinic didn't offer that at the time I went, they may offer it now (not sure) but a buddy of mine is going at the end of this month, so I can ask him then. 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate you response, Thanks in advance. Hi @spikestar, Thanks for following I used coconut oil around the 10th day I believe (it's kinda hard to remember exactly when) I used Gaia Saw Palmetto and took their recommended daily amount- 1 capsules 2x a day between meals. 12/2017 - 3500 Grafts- Dr. Emrah Cinik Follow my progress: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
