For a natural hairline, Dr. Konior or Dr. Rahal...


Just a thought from the peanut gallery...

I would seriously look into Finasteride (Propecia) and Minoxidil (Rogaine), most guys will advise you to try one or both of these for at least a year before considering a transplant. This isn't to say in the mean time you can't go see a transplant surgeon and get their views.

Both the above drugs have an excellent record in terms of slowing and stopping further loss, there is also the chance of them regrowing some hair.

Personally, If I had native hair on top I wouldn't consider a transplant without backing it with at least one of the above products.

P.S. Depending on your stage of loss (which sounds substantial, giving the 4500 graft estimate you received) it's very unlikely you will get back the density you had prior to loss. Don't be disheartened by this, you can still have an excellent outcome.

May I ask which doctor gave you the above estimate?
Of course, i talked to Dr. Wong, Dr. Feller and Dr. Feriduni

they advised me all of the same estimate 4000 to 4500. Dr. Wong asked me to send some of photos of hairline design that i liked to see if he can achieve it. However, i am not in favor of doing so since this hairline or design might not be natural with my face design. do you think this is true that i should not dedicate a hairline but the the dr should design the natural hairline.

the recommendation was to reconstruct the hairline and fill the mid scalp and if there is available grafts the crown will be the last to be transplanted. they said that i will hopefully have a much improved apperance.

looks great, how many grafts did he transplant? and how did he place the hairline and decide what is the suitable forehead for you?

BTW, what was their cost?
i wish you have a much better apperance

I don't think there's any harm in sending a picture of your preferred hairline design. The doctors you have mentioned have excellent reputations and I have no doubt that they will give you the best advice. If they feel the hairline isn't suitable for you I'm sure they will say so.

Different docs approach HTs in different ways; this can yield differing types of results with respect to both the look of the hairline, as well as the number of grafts harvested in a given session.

IMO, I would inquire into the docs you are considering as to their specfic philosophy on hairline work....what kind of density they will be shooting for, how they exactly go about placing the singles and doubles throughout different zones. Some docs might use DFU's on you, given your loss.
