Regular Member Foxface Posted December 17, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) I had done hair transplant 9 moths ago. From last 1 month I started to experiencing a lot of hair fall. I started taking finesteride after my hair transplant and stopped talking it after 6 months. Could this be the reason of hair fall? Any advise would be much appreciated. I am very worried now 😟 Edited December 17, 2020 by Foxface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted December 17, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 17, 2020 If you were taking finisteride and it was working well for you then yes if you stop taking it your hair will start falling out after a few months and will eventually get to close to where it would have been if you never took finisteride. Sometimes you may not know or think finisteride was working because you don't see any gains from it, but it could have been holding on to your current hair. You only realize it once you stop taking it. 2 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Senior Member Captain Haddock Posted December 17, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Looks like loss of native hair to me. The underlying problem is usually genetics, people in advanced stages of balding are bound to lose hair quickly, sometimes within a couple of years. I doubt if that's the transplanted hair falling off, but even they are susceptible to thinning. Finasteride is your only hope once you hit NW 4 and above, and stability isn't in sight. @Foxface had your hair loss stabilised pre surgery?

You could try a smaller dose of finasteride, around .50mg per day if you're too worried to take the full dose. I'm going to do something similar from the coming week.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 17, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 17, 2020 7 minutes ago, Foxface said: I was till 6 months then I stopped That’s your answer, coincides perfectly with your hair loss. You still had a lot of native hair left, which thinned once you stopped. It usually takes a few months to notice. I suggest getting back on and seeing if you can get a prescription for oral minoxidil. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

DrTBarghouthi Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 It most likely is the stopping of finasteride. It is hard to see exactly the thinning areas now in relation to your before surgery photos. It would be nice to see recent photos but not as close up as the ones you posted please. 1 Dr. Taleb Barghouthi approved and recommended on the Hair Transplant Network.
