BTW (Hair Transplant)

ť Im glad this guy can get some help via body hair or whatever method that
ť can help him. Thats got to be rough to live like that, under a hat all the
ť time.
ť

ť I hope if surgeons can convey any ONE thing to prospective patients it is
ť this: You need to try finasteride for one good year and make sure you dont
ť have side effects from it before even considering a transplant. It you have
ť bad sides..................and cant use DHT blockers, then youre risking
ť not having enough hair by a long shot, and risking having an HT-"island"
ť up there with hair in front of nothing. Those old plugs were obviously
ť from either the seventies or eighties, back before proscar and propecia.
ť
ť I got a translant in the mid-nineties because Id been told about (and read
ť about) finasteride and was under the impression it completely stopped all
ť further loss (incorrect, but it does slow it to a crawl). I wouldn't have
ť considered an HT without anti-androgens.

I guess the question now would be to what effect do anti-androgens have on BHT. It appears that the jury is still out as to exactly what DHT blockers are "safe" to take after a BHT surgury.
