Finasterid intake during LL Procedure
« on: September 18, 2019, 09:57:10 AM »

Hey Guys,

is it alright to continue your daily dosage of Finasterid before the Operation and during Lengthening. Has this issue been raised by any doctors so far? Are there any possible complications?

Greetings

There have been 2-3 patients doing that and they didn't have any issue. I guess Infullstryde was one. I was reading one diary today and the guy was also taking finasteride.

Are you also on it? You're like the 5th LLer I heard who takes it.  :)

I guess someone who is willing to do something as extreme as LL must be easily willing to take a tablet to maintain hair after all :)

it may surprise you that people who take such medications also do LL but its all correlated. Frankly I am not surprised.

Most people who do LL has some form of body dismorphic disorder.

Apotheosis, the "LL-legend", did hair transplant, arm lengthening, botox , cheek implants etc.
4cms did penis enlargement
InFullstryde has done plenty of surgeries albeit part of male-to-female transition program.
Guichet patient simons had failed hair transplant.

really it doesnt surprise me at all. there are also tons of LL patients who do steroids. We're all obsessed with our appearence.

I once, 3 years ago, did a session of Restylane for dark circles under my eyes.
turned out the dark circles were just pollen allergic reaction.

Male to female? Really? He looks like a normal man in his videos.

You had some bit of truth in your post but it's negated by the rubbish you wrote.

How do you say "most"? What is your sample size? Have you met real people who did LL? Do they also have BDD?

And it's totally normal to have some dissatisfaction. So many get braces, and hair transplants are hardly considered major these days

TinyTL is a troll and for some reason he doesn't like IFS (and the majority of LLers). No need to take him seriously.
