This young man went on finasteride, minoxidil, pumpkin seed oil and used LLT for 3 months, appearing to shrink the size of the balding crown
Hair transplants generally last your lifetime. I have seem patients I performed hair transplants back in the early 1990s when I started performing FUT procedures and they still have their hair, most of them. A few have come in because further hair loss of their original native hair brought them in. A small percentage of patients do lose their hair transplants, less than 3% I would guess
Nice results from just 3 months on finasteride and minoxidil. It appears that the forelock which was miniaturized thickened up along with growth on the corner hairlines. It would have been great to have comparable photos
I would really appreciate your professional opinion on this matter: I have 10-12 kilograms of weight to lose. It’s been a long time since I did sports or any restriction on my diet. The reason of avoiding such dietary and physical stress is to avoid losing hair. Currently I am following a hair loss regime (since December 2019) that is giving me drastic regrowth of my MPB and is reversing it. However because of my overwhelming joy and care about that regrowth, I am afraid of such physical stresses will lead to more hair loss because of shock (TE) and Testosterone rise. What do you think of that? Am I taking it too far in overthinking it? If yes what kind of diet and physical exercises do you recommend?
Good exercise and a reasonably restrictive diet without starvation and with good nutrition will allow you to keep your hair while losing weight.

Conclusion: Oral minoxidil was found to be an effective and well-tolerated treatment alternative for healthy patients having difficulty with topical formulations.
This 24 y/0 man was on finasteride and minoxidil for one year and reversed the miniaturized hairs in the forelock and filled in the area behind the forelock that was bare. The corners are still not present and if he wants a normal hairline, I suspect that only a hair transplant will do this
I am worried that they may be completely damaged. I am going to the dr next week, but am very anxious for answers. Any advise for regrowth?
If I were your doctor, I would want to know much more, like your sex, when it appeared, did you do anything to bring it on (dying your hair, use a hair straightener), has it happened before, etc.. I would look at is with a hand microscope to see if there are ‘Exclamation hairs” present. Summing it up, I am happy to see that you are going to a doctor
