newlad Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Hi mate, Glad and very happy to see your positive and good results, I am too planning to visit the same doctor and have a HT, however, I am just 25 and i feel super skeptical about using finastride or propecia beacuse of the effects it has. Do you reckon it is a must to have a stable steady growth or it is not needed as long as you can take biotin. My basic question is that will the HT stand strong and can i hope to get thick hair without the propecia element. Will hope to hear from you soon! ,cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very excited for you in your journey to decide if a hair transplant is right for you! This is a great question and I can only answer it based on my experience. I only took 1mg Fin for a few months before my procedure and then a few months after. During this time, I did not experience any side effects. I have since been using Saw palmetto, biotin, and a biotin shampoo everyday and still experience continual growth and thickness. With that being said, is there a possibility that it won’t be enough and I could lose more hair further down the road? Definitely, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take to avoid putting too many things in my body. Plus, my donor site is really good and I have a plethora of chest/beard hair if I need to get another one in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case many thanks for your prompt reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Bax Posted January 21, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hello gents! Hope you are all doing well and that 2021 is off to a great start! Just wanted to jump on here to give my 10.5 month follow-up! Honestly, no big changes, but I’m the same level of happy and ecstatic with the results! Decided to change up my hair style ever so slightly (now that I have options haha) by going a bit shorter on the top. Verdict: Still love it! Appreciate the positivity that this forum and many others brings for men who are going through the process! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Britanium Posted January 21, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 21, 2021 Wow 🤩 what a huge improvement!

However, this was discussed earlier in this post. When I take these photos, I use the harshest light possible (to show more detail) and therefore, it gives the illusion that you can see where the hair was taken. That combined with me looking up slightly for the back of the head photos makes it look like you can see where the donor hair was taken from. In everyday life and in normal lighting, this cannot be seen whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Bax Posted March 27, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 27, 2021 Hey everyone! So it’s been a little over a year since I went to Turkey for my hair transplant! Reflecting upon this past year, I am so grateful seeing as I was able to get it done JUST before covid shut the world down! As many of you know, I have been absolutely amazed and so happy and satisfied with the results I have been able to experience! I think this will likely be one of my last posts (unless people have questions or request updates). Therefore, I wanted to end it off with something a little bit special! One of my motivations for getting the procedure done when I did was because I was planning on proposing to and eventually marrying the love of my life! On Feb 20, 2021, I did exactly that! I have attached some photos from our special day! The best part about this, is that I can always look back at these photos with so much happiness, not only because I married this beautiful woman, but also because my hair looks DAMN FANTASTIC! With that being said, thank you so much for following along and for all the kind words, advice, and positive affirmations! This is such a fantastic community! Much love to you all! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
