Gandolf's Hair Loss Story

I probably began losing some hair in my early 20's but was in denial until about age 26, when I first received an unsolicited comment from my older brother that I was losing my hair. Within a few months I was on Propecia which gave me back some of the density on top and stopped the loss of more hair. Unfortunately, it didn't undo any of the recession in the corners of my hairline which is definitely what bothers me the most about my hairloss.

At this point I am researching for a hair transplant which I plan to have around the end of 2012. I have had consultations (some online and some in person) with a few of the top doctors but I haven't made my final decision on who to go to and exactly what the plan of attack will be.
