Hi everyone,
Further to my first post a few weeks ago, I have had some dialogue with a couple of clinics in Turkey and both recommend taking Finasteride post surgery which is a bit of a red line for me. I understand the benefits in that it would likely preserve the end result for longer. I'm happy to take minoxidil but would rather avoid Finasteride due to possible side effects (sexual disfunction and watery semen etc. are a no no for me). Is it a bad idea to proceed with surgery with this in mind or could I possibly agree on a more conservative hairline design which takes account of my not taking Finasteride and perhaps not leave me with thinner areas behind the transplanted area? I have noticed some older men who have a bit more density at the front and I think this can be managed with short/buzz hair cuts. Thoughts?
FWIW, I'm 47 years old and believe that my hair loss has stabilised to a large degree (no significant loss in recent years - more gradual). I am not exactly craving a great hairline for the rest of my days. I'd be happy to have a good hairline for the next 5-7 years and would probably be then happy to go for a short/buzz cut thereafter as my hair loss continues. With that in mind, could I consider proceeding with a HT? One clinic I am talking with is Armamed as I am impressed with Dr Demirsoy's results.
Many thanks!
