lookingforhelp,

Thanks for posting your photos. Though the quality of the pictures are quite low, it looks like you still have a lot of hair. What is the plan of attack? Are you focusing on the front only or are you also having work done in the crown?

I'm sure Dr. Pathomvanich has or will go over this with you but be aware of the potential dangers of transplanting hair in the crown too early. In the event a bald spot is filled in and it thins further, you could end up with a "halo" of bald scalp around a hair tuft.

The key to a successful hair transplant is to make the best use of your available donor supply. Placement of the grafts and planning for future hair loss thus, is key.

Know also that subsequent procedures may be needed in the event of future hair loss, which I suspect given your pattern of hair loss, that it's going to happen. Propecia and/or Rogaine may help slow it down or stop it from progressing. Are you curently on non-surgical hair loss treatments? If not, I strongly encourage you to consider it.

I hope the above information helps as you begin your hair restoration journey.

I encourage you to create a free hair loss patient website to document your progress.

Best wishes,

Bill

To learn about how I restored my hair, view my my hair loss website.

Remember, true beauty radiates from within, not from the skin.

I am not a medical professional and my words should not be taken as medical advice. All opinions and views shared are my own.

Hi Bill,

The doctor indeed told that medication can be used for the crown area and he told we can discuss this more at the time of consultation.

I need your advise on what should I do. I am planning to get married in a year or two and I don't want a bald crown sitting on my head at that time. So, Can you suggest me how should I proceed with my HT?

I am yet to mail the doctor with these concerns.
