Senior Member HairIsThere Posted June 24, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted June 24, 2009 As long as you are not taking anabolic steroids (i.e. muscle building steroids) your testosterone levels should not rise too far above normal and shouldn't have an affect on your hair. I would definitely run this by both your ortho doc and the doc doing your HT though to get their opinions. - 1 HT ~ 3000 grafts - Regimen: Propecia 1X daily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Dr. William Lindsey Posted June 30, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted June 30, 2009 A series of steroid injections may be enough to retard healing but one wouldn't bother me. Ask your doc to make sure. Dr. Lindsey McLean VA William H.
