Topi

Moses0324 - Thanks for your feedback, i'll take everything you have said on board. I am about to take Minoxidil and Finasteride straight away.

MattJ - A clininc has suggested i have a strip on day one and then a FUE on day two in order to have a 4500 grafts in one session, i won't name them here.

I am 24 years old and as you can see from my pictures attached, my hair line has receded quite significantly as well losing hair in my crown area. I have drawn my ideal hairline shown on the pictures also, although on reflection this is probably quite an aggressive expectation. I definitely want a hair transplant (HT) otherwise i will become a Norwood 6 by the time i am 30, just want some opinions on me having a HT. As I am new here I have some questions that are of most concern to me in the below 4 bullet points. If anyone can give any insight to these it would be very much appreciated. Thanks for your help!

• I am considering having a hair transplant, at my age (24) and considering how much hair i have lost already, would it be worth it?
  

• I am looking to have 4500 follicles (in one session) which requires both the Strip and FUE method. Would i be able to have my hair as short as in my pictures or would the strip be too recognisable? This would be a major consideration for me.
  

• Would there be enough density/coverage and would the rest of my hair just not fall out anyway? If i did have a HT for 4500 follicles now, i would still probably need another 2 sessions of 3000-4000 follicles within the next 6 years to prevent me from coming a Norwood 6. What is the maximum number of follicles i can take from the back and sides of my head? Probably different for each individual but as an approx. I also have more than enough hair on my chest to be donated to my crown area, can this not be done? (I am not too concerned about the quality of my hair on my crown area).
  

• I have not started taking Minoxidil or Finasteride, would this at least stabilise my hairline and crown area and prevent further baldness? Are you able to take both? How long would this last for considering i am 24 years old? Are there any medical procedures available (apart from HT) to guarantee prevention of further baldness and stabilisation of my current hair?
  

Thanks for your assistance.

Regards.
