Not that dumb. The transplanted hair should still remain but yet you will continue to lose the other hair you did have. It makes sense to do if your plan is to continue having transplants to the point where your entire affected area is transplanted hair I suppose.

If you're only wanting to have 1 transplant and expecting to have perfect hair forever afterward it's probably unrealistic though.

All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Yeah that’s what I figured I should have enough donor hair because my dad still had hair on back and sides so I think I should have enough donor hair the hard part will be knowing how often to get it redone I don’t wanna look ridiculous having a wave of hair in the front and receding behind it

because you're only masking the problem with a hair transplant. you will continue to lose your hair around and behind the transplanted follicles. you will look even more retarded than before the transplant

if you aren't willing to take fin or dut, imo, you shouldn't get a transplant as it's really just a big waste of time and money on a long enough timeline

I was on dutasteride for 5 years consistently before I got mine and plan on taking it for the rest of my life.

I could be wrong but from what I understand transplanted hairs are resistant to dht and obviously native hairs in the recipient area aren’t.

So for example if you get a hairline transplant you could be in a situation where you get a solid front part of the hairline but then over time the hair behind it continues to minituarize leading to a situation where you have a bald patch between the hairline mid scalp.

With the crown this would show up as a weird island shape.

Same I already made that decision too much risk even if you don’t get side effects right away you are letting a foreign hormone blocker build up in your body.

I’m already dead set on not taking fin so it’s either I get the transplant or not but even if I do get it worse case scenario is I end up shaving and I will still look better because I will have the transplanted hairline instead of a nw3 hairline

You will run low on donor hair then they have to take chest and pubes

Also there is always some.risk.with any surgery

You don't want to see the pics when it gets infected. So if you can minimize that risk with less surgeries that is always good
