Hey whats up everyone, well this is going to be first actualt post on the site. Ive been a long time lurker of the site for years, and its finally come down to pulling the pin for a transplant.
Im looking for everyones guidance to help me get through the process. Im gonna lay it all out for you guys. Im 28 years old, Im Italian and Norwegian, I have been very slowly thinning and receeding over the last 5 years. I began taking Fin/Minox/Niz for the last 4 years with great success (maintained). I just finished going through a pretty nasty shed about 2 weeks ago. The shed lasted roughly 5 weeks and came to a complete stop (usually happens twice a year).
I would really like to get an FUE transplant, I feel im a good canidate and have very nice thick donor hair. I would like to do some hairline and temple work up front. I think my real problem area is the crown, which is thinnest area on my head. I would just have it down, and take a month off from work (Law Enforcement). So here comes decision making time, Dr. Feller who im about 30 mins door to door from, but at $10 a graft your talkin atleast $25k which is way over my budget (I know cost shouldnt be in my head). Dr. Shapiro in Minn who I think is going to be my answer his price is great, reputable, and ethical.
Im going to attach some pics of my hair, there is a drastic diffrence of my hair wet and dry. The crown shot was at its worst about 2 weeks ago. I want to put up a few shots of my hair dry, but dont have the time now that I just wrote this novel.
Please let me know if I left anything out. Im still waiting to here from Kelly from Dr. Shapiros office, I sent out my pics and have heard nothing since.
