Hello, i'm a new member and i have a few questions if anyone would be kind enough to answer them for me. I'm 36yrs old and my hair has been thining on top for the past 7 or so years. My main reason for considering a transplant is i have scarring on my forehead which i have always covered with my hair. But now with it thinning so badly that is now a problem. My father lost all his hair by the time he was in his 40s, so i've never considered a transplant before as i have always thought that, for example in 10 years time i would lose all my exisiting hair on top and would only be left with the transplanted hair and would look ridiculous. A couple of weeks ago i went to the Hospital Group in Glasgow and spoke with a gentleman named Tarquin Blandford. I explained my main concern about losing exisiting hair after the transplant and he said not to worry, i would be put on a course of Minoxidil + Progesterone for approx 18 months and i'd never lose another hair. He also said i was an ideal candidate for a transplant, there top surgeon, Dr Westwood( one of the best in europe, according to him) would carry out the operation in a 1 mega 6 hour session, i would hve a full head of hair and all my worrys would be over. I'm not naive, it all sounded to good to be true and from beginning to end it just sounded like a salesman giving a salespitch. After reading here some peoples views on the Hospital Group, i think it's best to avoid them. From what i've read here, i think i should try to get a consultation with Dr Farjo. If anyone can answer my questions or give any advice i'd greatly appreciate it: 1. If male pattern baldness runs in the family and the end result i'm looking for is to have a full head of hair for life(am i being unrealistic) is an HT transplant not for me, bearing in mind my main reason for having the surgery is to have a full head of hair to cover scarring on my forehead? 2. Minoxidil + Progesterone, if i take this will that now stop further hair loss and i can keep what i have? 3. Does everyone recommend Dr Farjo?
