Regular Member Icicle Posted March 12, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted March 12, 2022 Guys how long in your opinion or based on studies do you think you can hang onto your hair post transplant without taking finasteride or and other DHT blockers?

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted March 12, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 12, 2022 @Icicle I'm not a doctor but I would imagine that the answer would really lie in your genetics. If you have photos of the males in your family tree this may be of some indication. Along with that I would also have to mention diet and overall general health. All the best!

Thanks No person or scientific study can show or predict this. Hair loss is progressive and there's people that aggressive hair loss strikes early in their teens to 20s and then can slow down a lot. It can also although more unusual go the other way where its stable in teens to 20s and then aggressively accelerates in some people in their 30s. Finasteride helps to shore up your DHT blocking defence and hopefully you don't have the above happen and are more average in your hair loss and it is gradual. I have a friend who wants a hair transplant and doesn't want to take Finasteride but he doesn't i think appreciate that point as much as i tried to emphasise to him. You cannot say "So, if i get this hair transplant. It will last me like 10 years and look fine right? After that, i don't care and can shave it all off". That's basically the conversation with my friend and it shows how general people don't quite understand the nuance of hair transplant and hair loss in general. In fact, some people believe the donor area regenerates after extractions and hence think its unlimited! Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

Senior Member BaldingBogger Posted March 12, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 12, 2022 Transplanted hair if taken from the correct Donor area should last most of your adult life. If your hair all over thins out later in life, this will obviously affect any hair transplanted. With or without Finasteride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahal Hair Transplant Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Icicle, I assume you are talking about retaining natural hair and not the transplanted hair? I will answer your question based on the assumption that this is what you are talking about. That being said, there really is no clear cut answer. The truth is, everyone loses hair at different rates, different times and different amounts. Family history can help predict how much hair you will lose and maybe even when. But it’s not foolproof. The good news is however, that transplanted hair is pretty permanent. As we get older our hair naturally thins out a little. But ultimately, the transplanted hair seems to hang on just as long as DHT resistant natural hair.
