whynot

Yes it helps. I believe that a little more would be better in my case . perhaps 3000 overall, 2000 in the front 1000 rear. I am going to another consultation this week with a Dr Bernstein in Fort Lee New Jersey. Anybody know anything about this doctor? I had read some info on him but havent seen maybe before and after photos of this forum. thanks for all the help

I added a picture to my album with areas that the Dr dorin suggested. I didn't know how to post this in my recent comment. do i make a new album? anyway 1000 graphs in the rear and 1200 in the front. The goal was to create a hair line that is as thick as the middle of the bridge, in the front in one session. then add a little to get to the top 1/2 of the crown. i think that would help, but i would like a little more. This photo is alot better then my others you can really see whats going on there. other estimates were similar 3000 first session then 2000 down the road. B spot- What are ways to limit shock loss? what is transection?

So i went to True and Dorin yesterday. Dr true was in surgery and was going to be awhile so doctor dorin gave me a consulation. Dr dorin gave me about 40mins of his time which was more than enough. He was a very professioanl, down to earth and honest. He suggest, like many of you to work on the front and shape my hair line and add alittle to the crown. He suggested I get about 1200 in the front and 1000 in the bridge region top crown. He explained he didn't want to do any more then that because of possible shockloss of too many graphs and also to see how my existing hair holds. Wheather propecia helps maintain, slowdown or improve current hair loss. I hope to god these meds help me, its hard for me to tell i have had a shaved head for so long. But I have been monitoring my hair very closely and am happy to say i have not seen more then 1-2 tiny hairs , if that while shampooing or brushing come out. who knows what will happen! he also said i have average donor area and can support 4500- 5000 graphs. So now i have yo figure out what to do? Wait and see what meds can do? I am class 5 could turn into a class 6 . Or maybe a calss 4a . or schedual an appointment. I honestly believe that the propecia will help me but i can't be sure maybe i should wait until i see some improvment or not. I have about 2 months to see if the meds are helping. What would you do? Has anybody had sugery with Dr. Dorin? Do him and Dr True have the same skills?

No need to apologize. this is all good stuff relative to me and everyone reading this thread. Seems that alot of people have viewed it. Thanks agian for all your help. I am going to see DR true this week, I will let you know what he says. If he is as good as you guys say i might have a new hair some day soon. lol . Somebody discribed a HT as getting a tattoo , something that is with you forever and to make sure that is what you want. That scares me a little. Does anybody have regretts of getting one?

I think thank god i have a decently small head. glock - i didn't recieve any pm's

Bill - that bobman guy he looks totally different from the procedure(s) . that is unbelieveable! how many graphs did he get? Glock08 Are you saying you got 4000+ graphs in one session? you know what is so horrible the extra hairs that we may gain from using minoxidil, propecia, peptides, and what ever, probably don't even compare to the amount of hair some regular guy with a full head will lose down the drian in a week!! ( i hope I am wrong) lol . whats even worse is seeing some guy with a full head of hair shaved bald. thank you all for the help

Good point Bill. I don't wanna be that guy either! Either way i would like to have some length to my hair. but i will keep the whole comb over hair due in check. it a mess right now. about 1" all around a very akward stage of growth. I will post some pics a little further down the road. Robert, I think you correct that taking care of the front will be most important at this stage. I can see what the meds can accomplish then get some HT in the crown down the road. Just one more thing. when do get some graphs done how do you explain to people that all of a sudden the front of your hair started growing?

Thanks for your responces. It is nice to speak to people besides doctors about this. I would be willing to do what ever it takes to have a decent head of hair. I havent noticed the crown till i started growing my hair back recently. i guess it just kind of crept up on me. hopefully some graphs and meds can help bring it back to a half way decent look. I plan on growing my hair about 2" or more all around, this should help disguise some of my baldness, but i don't wanna look like a freak either. thats the thing I know i can shave my head and it looks good, but if i get graphs i will have a donor scar and wont be able to shave my head any more. I am 32 and figure i have at least 50-60 more years left on this planet and don't want to spend them as" that bald guy over there." lol. I think if the front was filled in i would feel alot better being thats what more people see when they see you. but the crown can't be neglected. Thanks agian, if you have anything else for me please share . Whynot

Hi everyone thanks for viewing. this is my first time posting, hope i did it right. I am thinking of getting a HT. i have been to 2 doctors and think I need about 4800 graphs. I am nervous to get this done because i might not be satisfied with the resluts. What do you think? Can a HT help me? Can I expect to have decent coverage. I have been shaving my head for 2 years. it looks good on me , but i Hate being bald, plain and simple. I just started growing my hair the past 2 months. I also started propecia, minoxidil, and nozoral in the past 3 weeks. hopefully these products can offer some minute help. what do you think? I have another consultation with Dr. True this week. From what I read he is a great man in the field. thanks
