Testosterone Replacement Therapy and Hair Loss

I believe that Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is causing accelerated hair loss. I want to get a hair transplant procedure to correct it or at least cover it up. I am wondering, should I stop the TRT during the time period upto and following the procedure? If so, is there an ideal time period after the transplant during which to stay off? Should I give the hair 3 months of low testosterone to allow it to grow back ok? Would it matter?

Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), if it is a medical issue related to low testosterone levels, is a decision that both you and your prescribing doctor need to address. Normal hair (hair that is not impacted by genetic hair loss) will not be impacted by testosterone, so hair transplants should not be a problem. With that said, you need a Master Plan to determine timing and dosing of medications (including Propecia) in conjunction with a hair transplant. This requires a good doctor.
