Hi action,

I am no expert by any means, but first a few questions:

Do you take finasteride or minoxodil? I personally haven't had much luck with minoxodil, although it does work nicely for some...some even state that they swear that it work on the hairline. If you don't take finasteride, I would suggest looking into it. BAsed on the picture you provided, it looks like you will indeed lost more hair in the middle section, and possibly more. Finasteride could potentially stop your hairloss where it is.

You should definately do your research as to what doc to use, etc, but it looks like you would definately benefit from a larger session, 3K-5K depending on what your donor area can handle. A good doc will be able to restore a natural looking age appropriate hairline and fill in a lot of that area nicely. Again, however, consider taking finasteride if you don't, because you will definately lose much more hair, especially since you are only 21 years old. I feel for ya man...I started losing my hair when i was 22 years old.

Hey Action Radar

OOOPs hit the return button.

It appears that you have receded significantly early on, do your relatives have the same pattern of loss, less, significantly more?

This may be a good indicator of were you are headed, the bad news is you have lost a lot already, the good news may be that you are not going to lose a lot more. There are many of us that do not think someone at 21 should get an HT for fear that the loss will outlive the donor supply. As you have already lost a lot and if it is stabalized based upon your evaluation of your relatives and consulting a HT doc as well as perhaps your family dermatologist!

Good Luck

It's hard to tell you donor supply, but for your midscalp and hairline I would say 2000 FU would be good coverage without touching the crown.

hey everyone thanx for your opinion on my pics i really appreciate it!
im taking proscar doctor keene told me to start taking that, ive been on it for 9 months now and i havent lost anymore hair now, i havent been able to go to a consultation since i live in mexico i think its pointless to take the consultation until i have the money so i can schedule a date for my hair transplant, wow more than 2000!! i guess the most i could get would be around 5000 to 7000 bucks saving all this year and a coupple of months on the next one, i hope around 1600 and 2000 grafts would at least help me out. thanx everyone!

only my dad and his brother are bald men, from my moms side no one and other than my dad and his brother none have lost hair, i had to take at age 17 and 18 rooaccutane (its accutane but the mexican version), because i had serious acne problems, it helped so much no scars at all but i dunno if it screwed me on the hair side. i really want to get this fixed.

Hey action,

1600 to 2000 grafts will definately help you out and give you some hair in the front...just don't expect it to be very thick. If finances are a problem, you could always start with 1600 or 2000 and then add more later.

do as much as they can harvest from the donor area, the first is always the best. going back in just invites shock loss which is always a factor. plus the first few months after are not great but once you pass six months then you will be happy and want all you can get.
