Hi, I have gone through my hair transplant about 3 months ago. Some rougher hairs still seems to be on my head, they don’t seem to have shedded. I don’t really feel that they are growing neither are they shedding. I am worried about their current state and wondering if this is normal and how can I tell if the transplant was successful or not. Thank you

Dear Zurich1984,Thank you for writing in with this question. The short answer is no, you don't have to stop taking finasteride prior to a hair transplant surgery. It will not cause more bleeding.
