Hello everyone, I have my scheduled Dr. Diep FUE appointment in 1 week. I Was told to stop taking biotin 7 days prior to procedure and 3 days after the surgery. Any idea why this is the case? However, I'm still allowed to take my Finasteride 1 mg as normal

Yeah u suppose to stop all those things .. they don’t want anything in ur system that can cause excessive bleeding .. not even caffeine ..

I would load on calcium supplements and leafy vegetables 2 days before the surgery 

Drop all the other supplements, don't eat fatty fish either for a week before as it has fish oil which thins blood

If course no alcohol either 

Only finasteride is fine all the time 

This is what I did and got almost  no bleeding and zero scabs 

Restarted oral minox a week after the HT and the usual supplements such as biotin msm and chondroitin sulfate etc

Didnt you just had a HT with Asmed?

@elduterino that actually makes a lot of sense eating leafy vegetables since they are high in vitamin K your blood will be thicker and therefore less bleeding will occur. I will actually probably do this a few days prior to my procedure to reduce bleeding. What is the science behind calcium supplementation though?
