That's what Dr Ron said. He said he saw a lot of telogen hairs on my head which if grows back with fin could make the 1500 grafts above my crown look like 3000. He wanted to make fin do the trick in the crown. It's a game of wait and watch for me now. 1 1st FUT - Raymond Konior (April 2014) | 2953 grafts | # of hairs: 5939 (1's: 595, 2's: 1730, 3's: 628) 2nd FUT - Ron Shapiro (Nov 2020) | 2527 grafts | # of hairs: 4967 ( 1's: 599, 2's: 1416, 3's: 512) Finasteride 1mg MWF | Nizoral shampoo twice a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's why they say to frame the face first because that makes the biggest difference Growing long hair to cover my crown became a hassle for me, specially whenever the wind blew. Hoping to get rid of this issue by next year. I am also curious to see if the fin will make any difference to my crown. So far no side effects. You're speaking to my soul man haha, I know all of those feels. I have the sides near the crown thin, so even parting my hair to the side looks a bit strange. I definitely need to get this addressed ASAP. I will follow your progress, Dr. Shapiro actually helped kick start this forum by doing @Pat - Community Publisher hair transplant over 20 years ago.

Yeah,I've heard about this a lot in this forum. During the surgery I mentioned that I had consulted one doctor nearby and Dr Ron said he knows him well and that the mentioned doctor's hair transplant surgery was done by Dr Ron himself. Looks like he's a doctors doctor 🙂 1st FUT - Raymond Konior (April 2014) | 2953 grafts | # of hairs: 5939 (1's: 595, 2's: 1730, 3's: 628) 2nd FUT - Ron Shapiro (Nov 2020) | 2527 grafts | # of hairs: 4967 ( 1's: 599, 2's: 1416, 3's: 512) Finasteride 1mg MWF | Nizoral shampoo twice a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on making wise life choices! Thanks. I wish I had started meds right after the surgery with Dr Konior to maintain the results over the last 6 years, but then I wasn't married then and did not want to take a chance. Hope I'll see some benefits of taking it now.
