4 month update with pics- female wants opinions
After going to 2 hair transplant surgeons and the second saying I should try finasteride but yet not wanting to prescribe it I finally found after 7 Dr's one that prescribed it to me. The second surgeon said that because of dht levels being so high that I would still have hairloss after the transplant if I didn't take finasteride-however, without having my ovaries removed he wouldn't prescribe it. I also found out my vitamin d level was only 8. So I am taking finasteride and vitamin d. Here are my 4 month pics after starting finasteride and vitamin d. I put the before pic and then right beside the after. I also included a pic of my topper I currently am wearing.

It typically takes at least a full year to see appreciable improvement. I am surprised that the doctor didn't prescribe spiro and Nizoral.
Your topper looks really nice. I no longer need a topper but I would like to wear one once in a while when I want to get fancied up. My hair has out grown my old toppers though so I need to get new ones.

I have had many many tests done in the past 4 years. What is your opinion on a hair transplant- Im currently using topper. I am planning on scheduling for Sep- At consult I was told 2000 grafts for front and 1000 for crown- two separate sessions and $9750 for the first session- Dr. wants to make sure the first session takes.
Have you tried spiro?

I need to add that I am also surprised that you are not using Rogaine foam at least once a day - or are you? If not, once a day is better than not using it at all when you need it - and you need it.
