I get what you are saying Eddie, and also 90% of ethical doctors won't operate on you if you haven't been on finasteride at least for a year prior and continue to do so after the hair transplant. Top doctors (and here im not talking about turkish hair mills) they care a lot about their reputation, so they don't want someone ending up with bad results and then blaming the clinic online, when they continue to lose hair.Yes, you are right
But this is not gonna work without finasteride. For me it's a waste of money if you do transplant without taking finasteride for the rest of your life because your previously "safe" hair is gonna start falling again and you'll left with the stronger hair you took from the back of your scalp.
So take a breath and consider the options. I'm doing some stuff to prevent further hair loss without finasteride or dutasteride and although Turkey is next to me i won't spend a dime on it since i'm not willing to start these medications. I have accepted though sooner or later i'll shave my head entirely and i'm ok with that.
But at the same time i disagree... personally i will never touch fin or dut, but im planning to do a hair transplant in the near future. It will cover the hairline part, and you will always have enough grafts for 2 operations. After that, you can fill in the missing pieces with SMP and make it look very dense, without looking fake. I imagine this is the best scenario for someone who doesn't want to take these poisonous DHT lowering drugs.
SMP a few years ago looked like shit, you could clearly see it was a head tattoo, but if you check out some of the work being done now, the field has advanced so much, and it looks quite amazing. I think HT combined with SMP is the future.
