In addition to posting some pics, I would recommend you do some virtual consults.

I would include the information you recieved from the clinic you visited, including the recommendation of the Doctor.

What you will be able to do is compare and contrast and then perhaps chose a couple of "physical" visits, to get a proper consult.

The propecia is good advice

Doing 1500 grafts with thin donor on a large balding area is a waste of time and money.

You need to "Max Out" your first session (with regards to scalp laxity and available donor)

This is of course, IF you are a candidate for a HT.

Start with some of the Coalition Docs.
You will be in good hands

BTW, How old are you? Where are you from?

Hope this helps and welcome!
