I’m a 34 year old male and have been using propecia for about a year. I’m considering hair transplant surgery and was wondering if I would need to continue using propecia after the surgery to prevent any shedding? Thanks for your help.
Absolutely continue taking Propecia through the entire process and on to at least 9 months, if not ‘forever’. If you don’t, you will lose the hair benefits you accumulated since you started taking the drug and run the risk of hair loss shock with the transplant.
