My Hair Transplant Surgeon Tried To Warn Me..

My hair transplant surgeon tried to warm me that getting off of finasteride was going to be a huge mistake!

Getting off finasteride after a hair transplant can be a mistake for several reasons:

Continued Hair Loss: Finasteride is effective at slowing or stopping hair loss by reducing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to male pattern baldness. If you stop taking finasteride, DHT levels can increase, leading to continued hair loss in the areas of your scalp that were not transplanted. This can make your overall hair density decrease, leading to an uneven appearance over time.

Protecting Transplanted Hair: While transplanted hair is generally resistant to DHT, the surrounding native hair is not. Discontinuing finasteride can lead to the loss of your existing hair, which might make the transplanted hair look more isolated or patchy, undermining the aesthetic results of the transplant.

Long-Term Results: Finasteride helps maintain the overall health of your hair, and stopping it may compromise the long-term success of the hair transplant. The newly transplanted hair might stand out more against thinning or balding areas if the surrounding hair continues to thin.

Risk of Needing Additional Procedures: If you stop finasteride and experience significant hair loss afterward, you might find yourself needing additional hair transplant procedures to maintain a full appearance, which can be costly and time-consuming.

In summary, continuing finasteride after a hair transplant helps to preserve your natural hair and maintain a consistent, fuller look. Stopping the medication can reverse these benefits, leading to potential dissatisfaction with the overall outcome.

If you're considering transplant surgery I suggest you text or call my friend Steve Cook. Steve is a wealth of information, and the most knowledgable and honest person I've met in the hair restoration business.

Hair transplant surgery is a procedure designed to address hair loss or thinning by relocating hair follicles from one part of the body (known as the donor site) to a bald or thinning area (known as the recipient site).

The often most overlooked part of hair transplant surgery is getting on (beforehand) and staying on preventative hair loss medication. Without the continued use of the best and most effective medication available surgery is often in vain, and ones results will be worse a few years later than if they'd never had surgery at all.
