immediately after a hair transplant? Or, would you wait on the Proscar in case you get shedding plus shock loss at the 3 - 4 month period and really look different?

My native hairs are covering the ht pretty good and I'm at 8 days. Just have some dots at the hairline where the old plugs were. I'd hate to all of a sudden lose a lot at that point.


300 'mini' grapfts by Latham's Hair Clinic - 1991 (Removed 50 plugs by Cooley 3/08.)
2750 FU 3/20/08 by Dr. Cooley

Current regimen:
1.25 mg Proscar M-W-F
Rogaine 5% Foam - once daily
AndroGel - once daily
Lipitor - 5 mg every other day
Weightlifting - 2x per week
Jogging - 3x per week

Dewayne,

That's a good question because of your mention of the potential shed that some guys go through after starting up with Propecia. I say start now because you want to keep those little guys that have continued to hold on and I don't think you'd have a shed that would be permanent for any of them. I would think it would be worth it if you had a shed in the middle of your recovery because if you can hold on to them for the long run then that will make your result even that much more satisfying for you.
