  1. i mean if i was balding i wouldn't mind the alopecia areata hair as donor hair because im fine with getting a few mild spots of hairloss that can be treated.
  2. can a regular dermatologist assess me or do i have to go to a hair restoration clinic? i have a MILD CASE case of alopecia areata. i get the occasional bald patch which can grow back with a cortisteroid injection. this occurs throughout my whole scalp sporadically but it is very mild and cureable via steroid injections. how will this affect me getting a hair transplant?
  3. my alopecia is very mild. my hair grows back when the dermatologist gives me a cortosteroid injection.
  4. I wanted to know how much a hair transplant would cost to restore the corners? Is it a good idea for me to get a hair transplant just to restore the corners? Should i get a fue or a stripped? What advantages does fue have over a stripped besides it leaving you scarless?
  5. since i am a noob can you give me a rough estimate of how much this procedure would cost? how much would the stripping procedure cost? how much would the fue procedure cost? what advantages does stripping have over fue? i know fue is scarless but what other advantages are there?
  6. everyone is telling me not to go with a hair transplant early on that its really bad. why do they say that? nw1 is no hair loss at all right? are their surgeries to get rid of a widows peak? can hair transplants bring back juvenile hairlines as in make them lower? can a hair transplant bring me back to a nw1 or my juvenile hairline?
  7. I am a 27 year old male and noticing my hairline is not the same as it was as when i was 18!!!! My hair line is going to crap..... I have long hair to cover up the recession at the temples. My hairline is not thick and low as it was once was.... This is very depressing for me... im afraid to cut my hair short because of the extreme recession at the temples.. Here are my pictures. Pictures by StartingToRecede - Photobucket I know you guys will say "mature hairline" but i see plenty of guys in their 20s, 30s, 40s and even 50s with great low hair lines like andrew napiltino (guy from fox news.)
  8. I am a 27 year old male I just started to recede and was wondering if i am a candidate for a hair transplant. I know people say you shouldn't get a hair transplant when you are just starting to recede but why is that? If more recession occurs can't you just get another hair transplant? Pictures by StartingToRecede - Photobucket (btw im not a spammer im a noob so i put the question in multiple threads.. a moderator can move it and my sincerest apologies if i caused any of you discomfort) here are some additional questions i would like to ask.. 1. I was wondering what i am on the norwood scale? 2. Should i start propecia? 3. If worst comes to worst how many graft hair transplant do i need? 4. I heard some people say it is not good to get a hair transplant when you just start to lose hair.. why is that? I am a noob so excuse my dumb questions. 5. Does propecia help with the frontal or does it only thicken up the vertex? 6. I used to cut my hair short all the time now im afraid if i cut it bald people see how badly i am receding. Any advice is appreciated fellas. 7. If i just let my hair stay relaxed when it is long or even pony tail it when it is long it is not that noticeable. The only time it is noticeable is when i pull it back and take a picture like i did below. 8. Do you think the fact i pull my hair back really hard makes my hair looks more recessed than it is? Here are some of my photos... if you guys need clearer shots let me know or if any experts want to see me via skype let me know as well through pm i will shoot you my skype. (no homo) 9. Do i have a "maturing" adult hairline... is that just that a myth. I see plenty of people with really low nice hairlines ::envies;:: when they are in their 30s and 40s. any insight is greatly appreicated!
  9. I am a 27 year old male whose hairline is not what it was in his teens. I heard of the "adult" hairline myth but i feel it is a euphemism for you are going bald because i see plenty of guys who are in their 30s and 40s with perfectly low thick hairlines! Here are my photos. Pictures by StartingToRecede - Photobucket 1. I was wondering what i am on the norwood scale? 2. Should i start propecia? 3.
