This young man was concerned about loss of the frontal hairline. He kept his hair fairly bushy to camouflage the recession, and after several consultations opted to move forward with a conservative hairline case. He had a great donor area to harvest, in that his hair shafts were both densely packed and thicker than most asians that I have worked with.

Additionally, he followed postop cleaning instructions to the T and looked great when sutures came out on day 7.

Dr, did you have any reservations regarding this patients age, slight level of loss and potential further loss? Was this a difficult decision?

At our consultations we always address patients have 4 options. 1. Do nothing, you won't die from hairloss.
2. Camouflage, whether with pigment powders, combovers, or hairpieces.
3. Medical options. I don't sell medicines like some practices do, but I prescribe lots of propecia, as I have posted.
4. Surgery. For each patient, younger more so than older, I emphasize that while the patient can somehow arrive with more money in the future, that the donor region be used frugally; and what implications there are with further loss.

For this fellow, he heard all of this, had a reasonable family history, and I sent him home to consider his options. He booked a few weeks later and we had a couple of phone discussions prior to his surgical date.

And folks are always invited to come in as much as they want preop. I just saw a guy that I met in June 08, saw him again in March 09, and maybe he will schedule now. But he is welcome to come back again to discuss options.
