Approximately same length 2 year difference

How is the quality of the hair on the hairline and temples? Are they as tight as they were before the hair loss, or are they still thin?

Luscious results. Prolly an excellent responder if it's mere retention ur attributing to hrt. Ever considered OM for an even better effect?

Probably not, i already have way too much unwanted hairs going down my neck

When did you noticed first results? Nice progress. Are you trans?

probably talked about before, but do people on HRT need to continue minoxidil use indefinitely or can they taper off of it

I had many regressions but i'd say one year for me. Yes

Maybe not if the hair is of the same quality as everywhere else, and androgens are not involved.

So, you removed only the gland, and the remaining fat did not bother you and it disappeared after losing weight, when you abandoned HRT? Did I understand you correctly?
It is difficult for me to estimate what percentage of fat my breasts have, but they do not look like gynecomastia, but like female breasts, although I am not overweight.
My chest dynamics match those of this person.

@Itsnoahkennedy your answer would help me a lot. Right now I'm choosing between different surgeries and wondering if I need to do liposuction, or the fat will go away when I lose weight. Your experience is very helpful

the fat will go away only after liposuction... although it probably will be a lot less significant after you loose weight. A Mastectomy will only deal with the glandular tissue. When you go to a surgeon, they will explain all details.. after a proper examination and additional testing (ultrasonography) to know for sure how much of your breast growth is what type of tissue.

 

[cetm-419]

in Cisgender women the breast composition is commonly thought as 50% glandular tissue and 50% fat. I don't for sure how it works in trans women, but it must be something very close (probably exactly the same).

Perhaps, when HRT is abandoned, when the amount of fat decreases, the breast also disappears. In addition, the gland gives the chest a slightly pointed shape, which is why it is visible under light clothing. If the gland is removed, the breast may not be visible because the breast will not have a bulge around the nipples.
Clinics offer removal of true gynecomastia (gland removal) and gland removal + liposuction, which costs 2 times more.

Is that you? You have switched from a NW3 / 4 to a NW1 but above all the density and in particular the quality of your hair is wonderful. Do you want a NW0 too? I can understand you because I have a NW3 and I feel disgusted with my appearance, the Androgenetic Alopecia has ruined my face, I can no longer have my own style, I can not comb my hair as I want, when I go out I am ashamed to death. If it weren't for what HRT entails, I would have started this therapy.

Well kinda hard to help people who don't post their regimen.

I don't see why they're complaining anyways, the hair looks amazing.

He has a good regimen, injections of E
It seems impossible to restore the ideal Norwood 0 even after long-term HRT. Especially if you have gone further than Norwood 2. Either it takes years

Is that all?

I agree. Could just be seeking attention.

you can get hairline surgery, right? if ur on hrt they do it for trans people all the time, hairline revision or whatever

 

[Almas_NW0]

He also uses Dutu and Bicalutamide, but with E injections, they are not significant and there is no evidence that they do anything at all. Rather, they are taken to increase confidence in the result.

I agree. Could just be seeking attention.

I agree, he has normal hair. He will not be able to give them volume on the bangs, but there is no problem with hanging hair.

Yeah Anafranil and Abilify helped me tremendously!! @Junely there is oral minoxidil and normal minoxidil!
