When I was in high school, a doctor prescribed me Accutane, which cured my acne, but a year after stopping, I lost massive amounts of hair. From about a Norwood 0 or 1 to something equivalent to a Norwood 3 in less than a year, when I was 17.
About five years ago, I had a hair transplant in California of 1000 when I was 22 years old, after starting Propecia when I was 20. I have had zero hair loss since I started Propecia years ago. About a year ago, I had a second hair transplant of 300 to fill in the area where I felt it was unnaturally thin.
My major concern is this: For young guys like me, how come doctors are so reluctant to fill in the areas the put hair in? I - for one - have massively thick hair everywhere except where they have replaced it, where it is "more than half the level of the original density", which to me looks somewhat obvious.
Another problem is that the hairline looks a bit unnatural, like a Norwood 3 with really curvey vertices.I have noticed that the majority of natural hairlines are somewhat angularly shaped, and more guys than you'd think have a widow's peak, even if it is VERY slight; to the tune of a couple dozen hairs even descending toward the forehead.
OK. So, why are doctors so afraid to give younger guys a hairline that is more age-appropriate? I feel like I am always using hairstyles of men who are 40 years older than me. Aren't doctors cautiously optimistic that by the time I really start going really bald that there will be new treatments available?
I feel like I am too young to play this game so conservatively, I would prefer to look young while I am young, not have a young face with old hair.
Thoughts?
