Benefit from Hair Transplant after 1 year on Propecia? (pictures)

[matin1991]

Hi friends,

I have now been on the 'treatment' described in the headline for one year now and have remained much of the hair at my temples - though not grown new hair I think. I am down to 0.125 mg Propecia a day now due to sides, and I apply the Rogaine twice daily. Nizoral, I use approx. twice a week. I am 100% certain that if I had not started this treatment, my temples would have looked like my brother's and grandad's by now (both lost all their hair at the temples, though they don't have any 'moon' whatsoever).

My question for you is: I am now 24 and consider a hair transplant, do you think I would benefit from it? And the only hair transplant I am aware of is of people whom fully lack hair at their temples and hence having hair from their neck put on the bald temples - but how does it work when I actually have some hair left there already?

Thank you very much for - potential - answers to this very novice question. And if you have any questions regarding my one year treatment so far, don't hesitate to ask me in here.

Thanks in advance!

I know the rest of my hair looks fine, thanks, but have you seen how thin it is at the temples? Unfortunately I am too scared to go up in doze on finasteride again. I started with .5 where I had sides, then .25, the same, and now .125 where I have less than before.

How do you even manage to cut the pill down that small? lol

If anything the thinning is minor, you've been on finasteride a year at a low dose. See if your body adjusted and up it.

Easy, have a split cutter, and I just cut the 1mg Propecia pill into 8 pieces.

I could, but I already feel sides to some degree now, so I won't do that. My question goes how a hair transplant would work given that I still have some thin hair at the temples?
