Been On finasteride 2+ Years, Relatively Stable, Would It Be Silly To Consider A Hair Transplant?

[zebus]

Hoped on finasteride when I was 29 and the first cm or so of my hairline abruptly thinned. I'd say it lost about 80% density compared to the rest of my hair. I have really thick hair so it was really only obvious to me, was still able to style it the way I always could and nobody ever noticed or said anything.

Since then it's been a very slow progression and now I'd say I'm at 90% thinned in that same area with no noticable difference elsewhere, finally to the point it looks bad to style it up because I have a area of extremely patchy/whispy hair that screams balding.

Is that stable enough to consider a hair transplant? I assume right now it would take a pretty low graft count to fix.

It would be Overkill IMO

Your hairline already looks great. Your hairline's actually lower than mine, and your forehead isn't large like mine, lol. Completely unnecessary to get a transplant.

By the way, you look good for your age.

Thanks, like I said, the main thing that bugs me about it is how whispy the area is, it would look better if it was just fully receeded. I don’t get it, most people with receded hairlines don’t have a spot like that, maybe it’s because finasteride slowed the progression down so much.

I guess I could just clean it up with a razor lol.

Many, if not most men don't have perfectly symmetrical recession/hairlines. Besides, I think a razor could clean it up just fine.

Your hair is great! I doubt you will ever go bald in your life.

Add ru to your minoxidil and get a derminator for dermarolling. It would thicken that right on up.

You are saying you lost 90% density at your hairline? Wtf did it look like before? I see no hairloss as it is

Like the tree line entrance to a redwood forest.


My hair in non balding areas is both incredibly dense and coarse. Like I said the loss was just in the first cm or two, rest still looks fine.

I’m not chasing my pre-hair loss look, I just don’t want tons of scalp visible through a section of my hairline. And thought that might be fixable since I’m pretty stable.

I’ll give the dermaroller a try, thanks for the recommendation guys.

well honestly you are 31, you have minimal hairloss and you claim finasteride has stabilized it , if i were you i would not bother with hair transplant but ofc it depends how much you stress about it
