I am a 36 year old diffuse thinner. I began losing my hair in my early twenties. I fought the loss for ten years with Minox which slowed the battle of attrition. Started on Proscar 6 months ago.

well for being 36 you still have plenty of hair. At this age with this much hair left Im sure a coalition doc could create that hair line you drew and radically alter your appearance. I would like to see the top too though. How bad is it? Is it thinning all the way back into the crown area too? I bet you could even get those temples you want too, but I would want the doc to thicken up my entire top of its really thinning. Just me though.

*any sides on proscar?*


"Nashvegas"---- I didn't know there was a Vegas in TN? Do they have Dolly Parton instead of Wayne Newton?...

BitingMyNails,

Welcome to our forum community.

As NG2GB said, you still have a good amount of hair from hairline pictures. But it seems clear that you want to refine your hairline.

What kind of advice are you looking for at this point? Are you considering hair transplant surgery?

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.

Dude, if you are thinking of getting work done, you really should reconsider, its not necessary.

If a doctor agrees to perform surgery, please update this thread with information on who agreed, and how many grafts they proposed you will need.

Wylie,

Im really surprised by your comment. Every ones tolerance level for their hair loss and self image is relative and different. If the guy was 18 then I could see your point, but he is 36. Big difference.


He did not even post pics of the top of his head and he stated he is a diffused thinner.

this is an *elective* surgery, like all other plastic surgery. Look at ANY of the top notch docs recommended on this forum and you will find guys with a lot less loss than this and some even younger than this who the coalition docs were more than willing to put under the knife...

Ya, without seeing his top he looks to be a great candidate to receive a tremendous HT, imo, that will shore up virtually all of his follicular woes. His hair is far from horrible, or even bad given his age, but if you are a "safe" candidate for an HT and you want one and can get one more power to you.

Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician.

Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

He showed a diagram that he wanted work done at the forefront and the temples, which to me is not necessary, but its his life, and advice is free.

And he's free to ignore it.

well said...

Ah, BitingMyNails, for any diffusion you may have, I would heartily endorse looking into dermmatc/toppik if you haven't already!
