Need some suggestions, post 10 day HT, Found hair loss still not stablized

[Josh Hu]

I am 31 years old. Having hair loss for probably more than 5 years. 

Right now I am taking Fin 1mg/day for over a year, using Minoxidil, and laser hat.

My attention usually was at front of my hairline. And it has obvious improvement after I am taking Fin. So I thought my hair loss has stopped. 

Then during the hair transplant trip, I realize I have diffuse thinning, and my crown is a lot thinner than say 2 years ago. I had 3500 graft HT at HLC, 2500 at front, and 1000 at crown. 

Now I am still experiencing lots of hair falling out daily (this had been weeks before HT).  It seems that my hair loss is not stabilized.

One important detail is that I only used Minoxidil in frontal hairline. 

I am thinking of maybe taking Dutasteride, or micro needling. 

Any suggestion would help.

Josh,

Unfortunately if hair loss medication isn’t doing anything to stop the progression of male pattern baldness, you’re just going to have to plan for the worst and follow up with subsequent hair transplant procedures as necessary.  While each procedure should stand alone (even if you lose more existing hair), it’s important to map out a long term plan with your doctor so you know what you’re getting yourself into.  Hair surgeons should always discuss all the options with patients including a plan on what to do if a patient loses more natural hair.

Without seeing any photos I really can’t provide you with my specific opinion on your case and what you might need moving forward.  Thus, if you want more specific feedback I recommend posting some photos of your scalp before surgery and immediately post op.
