Balody - I was more impressed with your 12 month after 1st op pics than the 12 months after your 2nd operation. Probably has to do with the lighting. Are you planning on adding fine hairs to the front hairline or are you done? What was the app cost for those 10,000 hairs?

Im in my mid-thirties. I figured with my loss that surgery would only help minimally - just wanted to first double check with people who actually went through it and not a doctor trying to sell me his surgery.

I am posting two recent pics of my hair (whats left) grown out. Since you all have so much experience what would say the realistic expectations for a HT would be for me?

After years of not really caring I have read about all the new therapies that may (or may not) be coming down the pipeline and my interest in getting my hair back has been piqued. Here is my story: 35 year old with pretty much a Norwood 6. Started thinning at around 20 yrs old - very unhappy about it but gradually got over it and have shaved my head for over a decade now (very very lucky that I have a head that looks good shaved, or so I'm told). Crown and back of head is pretty much all gone with some fuzz. Tried rogaine and finasteride for a very short time years ago. Have read some of the experiences of posters on this website and impressed with some results. My question is whether a 35 yr old with my level of baldness has a chance of getting a natural hairline? I am comfortable with my baldness but I really do miss my hair. I have a fairly large head but with a large donor area and very thick hair where it does grow. Is it worth it to start a regimen of rogaine and finasteride now? (And why does nobody on this site take duasteride?). Should I wait until cloning or stem cell therapy becomes viable? I am very impressed with the breadth of knowledge many of you seem to have obtained on this subject and your thoughtful advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
