Im looking into getting FUE with Dr Ron Shapiro hopefully early next year. Im almost 28 and have been receding/ thinning since at least 20. My hope is to be very conservative and frame the face with 1500-2000 grafts.
Pros:
Donor seems very thick
I have light brown curly/ wirey hair that I think will give good coverage.
I keep my hair short(3/8-1/2inch) and style it forward and to the side which makes it look thicker, each hair just long enough to provide some coverage.
Im very tall, and I think framing the frontal third will go a long way.
My dad is only bald in the frontal third.
Cons:
Thinning/miniaturization throughout the nw4 area. Honestly, the miniaturization was only in the front a year ago.
My meds DONT include fin, bc of sides when I took it years ago.
All my uncles are nw 5-6's and went bald super quick. I dont think Im following this path.
I have a really big head, Fitted hat size 8. Not sure if this matters...
Attached is a pic I just took.
