To answer your question, I do understand that restoring hair is an ongoing adventure and is practically impossible to predict when, if ever, it will stop. This is why I am considering the FUE approach rather than FUSS. As it is my understanding that the FUE does not leave such a noticable scar (or any?). Which would enable me to shave my head completely at a later stage in life should I continue to loose more hair. I don't mind the option of shaving my head when I'm 30 something, but not now at 22. Because of my age it's difficult to be the "bald" guy in the group, I'm a confident person but hairloss has always been a sore spot, so I want to find out my options for now and at a later stage in life. I have been researching for atleast a year and am not just going to wake up one morning make a call and have it done. It's a big decision and one that could haunt me for the rest of my life, or one that could change my life, so I want to be as educated about HT's as possible before making a decision. Not to mention it's not every day someone spends this kind of money.

No I havn't; at one point I did look into it but never did anything about it, I would be willing to try some though. So what do people recommend?

Hi all, So I've been loosing my hair for about 4 years now, and its recently stabilized. I havn't tried any meds to assist in the hair loss (too many mixed reviews) but have for the last year searched HT's extensively. I've weighed the pro's and con's of both FUE and FUSS and because I tend to wear my hair shorter I'm really leaning towards FUE, plus if I loose more hair later in life and don't want to have another HT I won't have a scar ristricting me from shaving it all the way down. I've had one consult and they do FUSS and explained I would need between 8000-10000 hairs or something like 3000 grafts. I have another consult with Dr.Rahal (in Ottawa) in a couple of weeks as he's the closest Dr that does FUE. I don't believe I have unrealistic goals, I'm not planning on lowering my hair line or creating something fake. I'm just at a time in life where image is everything and I want to be like the rest of my friends. So I want to restore the hairline and crown. I'm just looking for opinions from other members. And I know alot of people will probably comment that 22 is too young for a HT but perhaps once you see the pictures you'll realize I'm not some 22 year old that has minimal recession and am being a baby. And for anyone wondering MPB is in my family, my father is probably a norwood 5. Thanks for any insight guys!
