What is your regimen? And how you’ve been consistently using it?

 

[TomRiddle]

Damn, the first pic is when you started i presume? What treatment were you and are you still on it?

 

[Aaron McLaughlin]

I’m on 15% minoxidil once a day. 0.5 ml topical finasteride 2%, ru 58841 and then 5% topical in the evening, I go through big sheds and never same to get regrowth, I’m only really consistent since January 20th, this is all in 2 year since the first photo

Mate, topical is not as effective as oral. If you want halting of hair loss you have to step up your regimen.

Yeah I know pal, but I get a painful chest with finasteride, have you experienced painful Gyno from treatment? It’s only the left side for some reason

No. I did not experience any sides on finasteride actually. Honestly gyno should be your last worries, it can fixed with a surgery that is cheaper than a hair transplant.

It wouldn’t bother me if it wasn’t for the pain, if I could stop the burning I would be on dutasteride, I have no other sides

Losing so mich ground on this regime is not normal in my opinion.

Yeah I know pal, I’m still on it but shaving my head as I’m going through more shedding, I never got bloods done at the start,doctors here don’t want to know when you mention HairLoss, that’s the nhs for you

Hey man, sorry to see what happened to you, absolutely awful. But my question is, why did you continue with the drugs after shedding for a year straight? Why not stop before you lose it all, if it's the drugs causing it?

I wouldn't take gyno surgery so lightly, look at some photos of before and after, there are quite a bit of results that look very unappealing and look werid and unnatural as if the chest was just pushed flat against itself, or the nipples look very flat and sunken in, in short, many results just don't look good at all, and there is no fixing it.
also if your breasts were big enough and started to sag down, they will not be tightened back up after the surgery, your nipples will look like they are below where they should be, it just will be flat, but it's gonna be very unappealing.


there is always a risk of result being unappealing, the higher the degree of your gyno the worse the risk is, and there is no fixing it if it happens, so I wouldn't take a gyno surgery lightly.

True that. But I would take it over having a diffused hair transplant (they also leave scars), making me look ill.

It is choosing between two evils. I would get paranoid about my chest and nipples (if I ever gyno and a bad gyno surgery), but it would certainly be less impactful than being bald.

Yeah I’m Micro-needling too, this is a close up of my hair tonight, I just keep on shedding it’s crazy

how FUE leaves scars that makes you look ill? it leaves little dots that lighten up with time + you grow the hair a bit and it hides all of them, I don't see how that's worse than having weird flat chest/nipples that looks like it's way below where it should be, can't see myself taking my shirt off ever in public or in front of any girl if I end up with such a result.

I'm on dutasteride (10 months), that can cause gyno over time, which is, however, rare. In the long term I don't want to have my beach body ruined by possible gyro or ugly results of gyno surgery. So, to control for this side my plan is:
1) monitor any changes;
2) in case of any slight change - breast lipolysis with no delay: time is crucial, as if one ignores it too long, you'll have saggy breast, because skin won't contract properly
3) repeat the procedure at proper intervals so that your skin won't be overstretched with poor prospects of contraction back to normal state
Breast reduction surgery is an option of last resort for those who fail to take a timely action. It's 2020. A timely lipolysis (laser, cryo-, chemical) is a safer and more appealing option for men in case gyno is detected at an early stage.

@Anatoly


breast tissue is not fat, you can't melt it with laser or chemicals. you have to cut it out. lipolysis is dissolution of fat. which is not breast tissue.

Strongly disagree. Gyno is effectively treated with lipolysis. Not only fat is affected, don't be so simplistic, very complex responsive processes are involved. The name of the procedure is a bit misleading though. Google & consult further

I did, couldn't find any place that does it for gyno in my country, but regardless even when I searched for info and feedback from doctors they say it's only effective if the gyno is very very mild and if there isn't much of breast tissue growth, which in that case both methods will be required (lipolsis and a knife), which further confirms what I said, it has little to no effect on actual breast tissue, it mainly is effective on the fat around it.

please do show me a site that shows before and after for gyno that was done solely via lipolysis.
